Chapter 244
After a painful experience with her previous relationship, she would choose to be loved again if there was a choice.
…
Jeremy returned to the house while holding the phone tightly in his hand. There were answers in it that he could not wait to know.
However, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Meredith cooking in the kitchen while the maids instructed and helped at one side.
This scene made Jeremy think of Madeline.
He recalled the nights that she would be here making dinner for him and yet, he would just ignore her. He instead spent the night outside rather than coming back to face this woman who he thought was dirty and heinous.
When Meredith heard him coming back, she turned around and ran to him. “Jeremy, you’re back. I picked Jack up and I made dinner especially for you guys tonight. This is my first time making dinner, so I hope you’ll like it.”
She looked at Jeremy with passionate and loving eyes. “Jeremy, today my mother received an invitation card for Miss L.ady’s anniversary party. Will you go with me?”
Jeremy furrowed his brows. “I’m not available.”
“Jeremy.” Meredith’s smile disappeared gradually. “Are you still refusing to forgive me? It’s been so long since that incident. I was forced by Maddie. Why do you have to be so heartless over a trivial matter like this?”
“A trivial matter?” Jeremy suddenly smiled upon hearing these two words. His smile was obscure and indistinct. It was hard to read his expression, but his voice suddenly went cold. “I’ll find a time to announce to the public as soon as possible that I’ve already broken off my engagement to you.”
“…” Meredith looked at Jeremy’s back in confusion before hastily stopping him. “Jeremy, please don’t do this. You promised. You promised me back then that you’d take care of me for the rest of my life!”
Recalling the promise from back when they were at the beach, Jeremy knitted his eyebrows together.
Jeremy would only be acting rashly if he did not take into consideration their relationship back then.
A few seconds later, he parted his lips coldly.
“I’ll take care of you, but I won’t marry you.”
“…” Meredith’s face turned white. “Jeremy, why? Why are you doing this to me?”
