Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 880

Chapter 880

She had heard everything he said. She could feel the regret and remorse oozing from Jeremy, as well as his internal conflict when it came to forgiving himself.

Staring at his back that was mere inches away, Madeline no longer felt that they were miles apart.

Leaning over, she lifted her arm to hold Jeremy from behind.

Deep within his own self-blaming throes, Jeremy was stunned when he felt Madeline suddenly pulling him into a hug. Warmth seeped into his chest.

“I know you can’t forgive yourself for the things you’ve done to me, but I mean it when I told you I don’t hate you anymore.

“Let’s just live happily together for the rest of our days, Jeremy.”

Madeline’s clear voice drifted into Jeremy’s ears, falling into his heart like melodic notes.

He turned to face her, his chiseled features against Madeline’s ethereal and small face.

The two pairs of eyes locked. They were engulfed in comfortable silence.

His slender finger traced her brows as he got lost in her beauty.

“I love you, Eveline Montgomery.”

Madeline curled her lips into a smile as she pressed her forehead against Jeremy’s. “Yeah, I know.”

Jeremy yearned to hear an ‘I love you’ echo from Madeline’s mouth, but he found himself content at that moment to have Madeline’s forgiveness instead.

The following day.

Madeline wanted to book a flight back to Glendale, but Cathy seemed to plague her mind.

She called Cathy who answered but rejected Madeline’s suggestion. “You guys should go back, Evie. There are still things here that I need to do.”

Madeline felt uneasy. “Felipe is dangerous, Cathy. You can’t stay by his side anymore.”

“It’s because he’s dangerous that I need to stay by him.” Cathy’s tone was meaningful. “I think I understand how you felt back then, Evie, but Felipe is not Jeremy. I have to pull him back to the light. I can’t bear to see him make mistake after mistake like this.”

Cathy then hung up the phone. Madeline called again, but her phone was turned off.
