Chapter 659
Jeremy’s fleeing footsteps suddenly halted, and he heard Madeline’s approaching footsteps.
His heartstrings tightened even more, but he forced a calm smile and turned his face slightly. “Take Jackson away and live the life you want. You’ll be happy staying away from a scumbag like me.”
Madeline walked to his back, the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes getting blown dry by the autumn wind.
Seeing the calm and motionless appearance of the man in front of her, she chuckled again. “Live the life I want? Jeremy, do you know what kind of life I want to live?”
Jeremy lowered his beautiful eyes dimly and smiled. “At the very least, a life without me must be what you want.”
After his voice fell, the air was silent for a few seconds. Then, Jeremy opened his lips lightly.
“Now that we’ve gotten the divorce certificate and I’ve let you go, we’ll have nothing to do with each other from now on. I won’t bother you anymore, let alone pester you.”
As he said, he reluctantly turned his face away with his back now facing Madeline. “Miss Montgomery, I wish you a happy and long life with your loved ones.”
Miss Montgomery.
He called her that.
It felt so distant and alienated.
He walked around the flower bed and slowly stepped into the house. The view of his back appeared free and at ease as though he had put down all of the past.
However, she recalled the scenes of him losing control and hugging her as if he was paranoid, him kissing her side profile, and him whispering sweet nothings in her ear. The words and sentences he wrote in the diary were also vivid.
At this moment though, he said he had already let go.
