Chapter 625
With the outer layer of her sleepwear opened, cold settled in.
As bewitching was the aura Felipe oozed, Madeline’s mind was very clear.
She grabbed Felipe’s hovering palm and curtly rejected. “I’m sorry, Felipe, but I don’t think I’m ready yet.”
Madeline fled decisively from Felipe’s arms.
Madeline found it much easier to breathe now that distance had been restored between them.
Reining his displeasure in, Felipe got up and apologized. “I’m sorry, Eveline. I’ve overstepped.”
Madeline shook her head. “It’s not your fault, it’s mine. I’m sorry I can’t remember what happened and the feelings I once had for you back then. That’s why I…”
“It’s alright.” Felipe comforted her with a smile. “Don’t force yourself, you’ll remember it one day.”
“Thank you, Felipe.”
“You don’t need to thank me, silly. While we haven’t gotten registered, we’ve already had our wedding ceremony and as far as my heart is concerned, you’re my wife.”
Felipe walked over to hug Madeline and run his fingers through her silky locks. “Don’t think too much and get some rest.”
“You too.”
Felipe nodded lightly. “Goodnight.”
He smiled and turned, but by the time he left Madeline’s room, all traces of the smile had vanished from his face.
While Madeline’s rejection did not mean she still harbored feelings for Jeremy, it was enough proof that she did not harbor them for him.
A fierce look flashed through his eyes before they reverted to being warm and gentle.
‘Eveline.
‘You will fall for me. I’ll make sure of it.
‘It’s a decision I made ever since the moment I saw you.’
