Chapter 906
Madeline returned to the car. The air in the basement made her mind less chaotic than before, but her hands that were holding the steering wheel were shaking.
She persuaded herself to calm down, but she had no strength to drive anymore.
Her mind was now filled with images of Jeremy and Lana kissing each other.
The woman’s triumphant smile and the man’s disdainful eyebrows resembled his cold attitude toward her back then.
Yet, Madeline kept feeling that Jeremy had a reason for his behavior today.
She was incapable of driving now, so she had been waiting in the car.
She did not know how long she had been waiting. She imagined Jeremy and Lana still being in the same room at this moment, imagining what they might be doing. Madeline’s heart hurt.
She could not sit here and wait.
Madeline got out of the car and was about to take the elevator up when she saw Jeremy walking toward where she was.
The man was now neatly dressed, looking awe-inspiring and elegant.
“Jeremy,” Madeline called out to him.
Jeremy paused after hearing her voice.
He raised his eyes and saw that Madeline, who was standing not far away from him, was looking a little pale. His eyes turned bleak.
“Linnie, why are you here?” He quickly walked to her.
His gentle tone was completely opposite to the indifference he displayed earlier.
Madeline looked at the handsome face in front of her and tried her best to soothe her emotions that were about to lose control. “Jeremy, why are you deceiving me and secretly being with Lana?”
Jeremy felt guilty when he thought about how Madeline might have found out about him having dinner with Lana not long ago.
“Linnie, I didn’t mean to lie to you,” he explained, reaching out to hold Madeline’s hand.
