Chapter 645
Eloise was too lazy to argue with Karen. She raised her eyes to look at Jeremy’s beautiful but out-of-focus eyes. She sighed and said, “Jeremy, can I ask you just one question? Do you love my daughter?”
This question made Jeremy a little surprised.
“Answer me, do you love Eveline or not?” Eloise asked, her tone quite urgent.
Jeremy’s eyes softened. “Of course, I love her.”
“Well, since you love her, I’ll tell you this. Eveline will return to F Country with Felipe tomorrow and may never come back again.”
Jeremy’s soulless eyes were then tinted with a bit of loneliness and melancholy.
“I know.”
“Just like that?” Eloise looked at the man who had reacted so calmly in surprise.
Jeremy pulled up the corners of his lips into a smile. “Not bothering her and getting involved with her is the last thing I can do for Linnie.”
Eloise was surprised when she heard this.
Seeing Jeremy touching the handrails and turning back upstairs, she took a step forward. “Tomorrow morning at 10:30 AM. It’s your decision whether or not you’ll be there.” After saying these last words, Eloise left.
Jeremy paused as he was heading upstairs, then moved on.
Karen followed Jeremy and repeatedly emphasized, saying, “Jeremy, you must not go. You and Madeline are not a match for each other at all.
“Jeremy, listen to your mother’s advice. There are many women in this world who are better than Madeline. You don’t need to think about her anymore.”
No matter what Karen said, Jeremy ignored her.
Step by step, he returned to the bridal chamber that used to be Madeline and his.
However, there was no longer the remaining fragrance of her—only loneliness and desertion.
He found their wedding album from back then in the dark and stroked the grains of the photo. Jeremy’s fingertips were cold, and the coldness reached his heart.
‘Linnie, as long as you’re happy, I’ll be happy. Even if there will be this gap and regret that I won’t be able to fill up this life.
‘Linnie, I’ve just come to know that there really are people in this world who cannot be together because timing really is important.
