Chapter 260
He asked, feeling a debilitating pain in his heart.
When he recalled Madeline’s helpless expression when she was explaining herself with tears streaming down her face, he felt like such an irredeemable sinner.
How could he be so cruel to hurt a woman who loved him so much?
How could he only realize that he had fallen for her when it was already too late?
Now, he finally understood why Old Master Whitman asked her that question when she said she wanted to divorce him.
The old master had asked her whether they slept together after marriage.
Of course, he did. Multiple times.
He said he was disgusted by her, but he still could not stop himself from touching her.
It turned out that he was just unable to restrain his emotions, but when he found out about it, it was too late.
Jeremy gathered his thoughts and looked at the tombstone. “She looks just like you, so I keep having misconceptions. I hugged her last night, but I was really hoping she’s you.”
His tone was filled with so much emotion and gentleness that had never been there before. Then, he closed his eyes.
“I really hope that she’s you…”
Jeremy turned around after a while. His body left a trail of loneliness in the morning sun.

Madeline left the kindergarten and went back to her shop.
It was still early, so it was not opening time yet. However, she saw a lot of people gathering in front of her shop and even the media was here.
She thought maybe this was the effect of what happened last night, so she walked in through the back door. The moment she sat down, she received a notification of a viral tweet.
She clicked inside and saw the video that Felipe played last night being retweeted furiously.
Everyone was going to Meredith’s profile to curse at her.
She was the young lady from the Montgomery family, but she went as far as doing something so despicable. It was such an irredeemable dark past!
Someone even felt bad for Madeline’s previous self. She had been wrongly accused and was forced to suffer in silence. Plus, she was even cyber-bullied for some time. It was so lamentable now that she was dead.
Even though justice arrived late, it still managed to prove her innocence.
Madeline was reading the comments. She felt conflicted, but at the same time, she felt rather pleased.
