Chapter 822
“Were you expecting my kiss, Mrs. Whitman?”
“…”
“How very unfortunate. Now, I only kiss the woman I love.”
A sense of tease could be seen in his smile while his eyes glittered scornfully.
Madeline felt heartbroken, but she replied in a composed manner, “Did you really think that I was anticipating your kiss? I was just going along with your act. Jeremy, all you want is to hear me saying that I love you and am missing you, right? Unfortunately, how much I used to love you has now become how much I hate you. Got it?”
She put on a smile, avoided his gaze, and left the scene.
Stunned, Jeremy left his hand hovering in mid-air. The sparkle in his smile and eyes gradually faded away.
…
Time had passed, and it was already Saturday.
Madeline put on a neat gown. Holding onto Felipe’s arm, they both arrived at Jeremy and Yvette’s engagement ceremony.
She thought there would be a huge crowd at Jeremy’s engagement ceremony, yet only a few showed up.
Aside from her and Felipe, there were no outsiders here.
“I don’t fancy a crowd, hence the simplicity of the engagement ceremony,” Yvette explained with a smile, “Jeremy said Mr. and Mrs. Whitman are the two most important people in his entire life. That’s why we must include you both in our engagement ceremony.”
Felipe wore a smile. “Since Jeremy has said as such, I guess Eveline and I will witness it till the end.”
Just when he was done speaking, the chauffeur entered the hall at a fast pace.
The chauffeur whispered into Felipe’s ear, and the man’s expression instantly darkened
“Eveline, something urgent came up. I’ll just go out and make a quick call.”
“Alright.” Madeline nodded with a fake smile and sat at a corner by herself.
‘Wedding gown, bridal bouquet, and him.’
