Chapter 756
“If you may, Miss Quinn.” The bodyguard opened the door. It seemed that regardless of her willingness, they were not going to let her leave.
Just as she was forced into the car, Madeline found Jeremy waiting by the hotel gates with a warm smile and a bouquet of baby’s breath.
He arrived three minutes after her.
They would have met had she not been forced into the car.
Felicity’s gaze fell on Jeremy as well. “What a shame. Looks like you aren’t destined, after all.”
Madeline grew cold.
Felicity knew about the bet she made with Jeremy moments ago.
Felicity smiled at Madeline’s shocked expression. “Looks like you don’t know anything about Felipe at all, Eveline.”
“What do you mean?”
“Hmph.” Felicity scoffed, her gaze hardening. “You’ll know soon enough.”
Then, the car drove away.
Staring at Jeremy who stood by the hotel gates, Madeline felt a heavy weight of loss fall over her heart.
She wanted to roll down the window to call after him, but the windows were locked. She wanted to call him, but the bodyguard had taken her phone.
She stared in the direction Jeremy stood as the distance between them grew until he vanished from her sight.
With the bouquet of baby’s breath in his hands, Jeremy waited patiently as seconds and minutes passed until it gradually exceeded the agreed time.
Joy slowly vanished from his eyes as his heart grew cold.
“Is this truly the end for us, Linnie?” He refused to accept such an end, for there was no way he had no destiny with the woman who he experienced so many life-and-death experiences with.
