Chapter 647
The sound in his ears put a sudden stop to Jeremy’s search.
He felt a touch of surprise as he gently lifted his eyes that could no longer capture any light and color. “It’s you? When did you return to Glendale?”
“Yesterday.” There was suddenly light in Jeremy’s bleak eyes after he received that answer.
He slowly stood up, facing the man before him. “Is Linnie back with you too?” Felipe looked at Jeremy who was blind, then looked down at the wedding ring he had just picked up.
He played with it with his fingertips with interest, only to lift his lips. “Yes, Eveline came back with me too.”
As he spoke, Felipe saw the joy in Jeremy’s eyes. He smiled, saying, “Eveline and I are here to bring Jack back to F Country this time.”
His answer had very simply and decisively shattered the shade of joy on Jeremy’s face. “Eveline doesn’t want to see you again, so you’d better not appear in front of her, especially with the way you are now.”
“With the way I am now?” Jeremy laughed lowly. “Are you afraid that I, a blind man, would steal Linnie from you?”
Felipe’s sharp brows knitted into a frown unhappily. “Jeremy, you were not a qualified husband before and I hope you can be a qualified predecessor now. A qualified predecessor should be the same as dead.”
Jeremy’s gaze sank, and without answering Felipe’s words, he stretched out his palm nimbly. “Give me back the ring.”
“I can give the ring back to you, but you’d better remember what you said and don’t bother Eveline again.”
“I know what I’m doing, I don’t need you to tell me that.” Jeremy’s voice had become colder. “Give it to me.”
“Eveline and I will return to F Country in a week. I will have someone send you the ring then.”
Hearing this, it was obvious Felipe did not want to return his ring now.
Jeremy frowned. As he was about to reach out to pull at Felipe’s collar, he suddenly heard the sound of a car coming from a distance.
“Eveline is back,” Felipe said leisurely, smiling at Jeremy whose expression had changed slightly.
