Madeline felt so unwell it was as if her heart had been sliced a thousand times by a knife.
“Jeremy, I’m telling the truth!”
“To me. nothing is more important than Meredith's feelings. What rubbish are you spewing?”
His comeback was unfathomable. It was so straightforward it stabbed Madeline’s heart like a sharp sword.
So. to him, the truth was not important. The important thing was that he loved Meredith and that fact trumped everything.
She felt her heart sink like a rock. It was as if she had lost all hope and could only yearn for this man.
Madeline smiled lamentably and said. “Alright. I'll apologize.”
She endured the debilitating pain in her body and bowed her head to apologize to Meredith.
She saw Meredith smirking in secret. That victorious smile was extremely dazzling to her.
She had never thought that Jeremy would ignore the truth for Meredith. The only reason was that he loved her. He loved her so much.
In the days that followed. Madelin never saw Jeremy again.
She wanted to find a job to lift her spirits: she did not want to torture herself merely because
Jeremy did not love her anymore.
Madeline had studied jewelry design and graduated with flying colors. She sent out her resume online, and after a while, two companies invited her for interviews. After comparing the two companies. Madeline chose the company that was closer to home.
She thought she could use th work to distract herself. but she still could not help but think about Jeremy.
Despite how much he resented and despised her.
The early autumn nights were a little chilly, so the employees in the company had already clocked off work. On the other hand, Madeline had stayed back in the office alone to finish up her work.
If she went home, she would still be all alone. Hence. she would rather stay there and numb herself with work.
It was almost ten and Madeline was feeling a little hungry.
She touched her stomach and remembered that she was housing a child in her womb. All of a sudden. she felt warm and satisfied.
When she was about to leave. her phone’s custom ringtone rang.
