Chapter 649
“Linnie?” he called out tentatively, his nervous heart beating rashly in his heart just like the day he met Madeline in college. He actually felt on edge.
Jeremy did not know whether he should be happy or not. God had given him a chance to see the most beloved woman in his life again, but he could not see anything.
Madeline looked at the handsome face in front of her, her delicate eyebrows becoming a little less cold and a little more gentle.
She walked toward him calmly. “It looks like your leg is alright.”
Hearing Madeline’s voice, Jeremy’s heart was filled with incomparable satisfaction.
It was just that her words had slightly startled him.
Could it be that Linnie had come here specifically to see if his injury was healed?
Thinking of this, a smile overflowed from Jeremy’s lips, but he was only happy for a few seconds when Madeline’s cold voice followed, “I have nothing to do with you anymore, so I don’t want to owe you any favors.”
Jeremy’s heart went cold, but he kept a smile on his handsome face. “Linnie, you’ve never owed me anything. I, on the other hand, owe you too much.”
“You don’t owe me anything. If it’s a life, you’ve already paid it back last time. If there’s anything you owe to me, it’s a divorce certificate. You still owe me that.”
Madeline walked toward him. “I’ll be staying in Glendale for a week. I hope that you can take half a day to follow me to the town office, Mr. Whitman.”
After listening to Madeline’s words quietly, Jeremy nodded with a smile, unsurprised. “Okay.”
His answer sounded very straightforward. It was as if he felt no more nostalgia.
Madeline’s heart sank somehow. She looked at Jeremy’s beautiful, soft face. His pink lips were slightly parted.
“Alright, it’s a must.”
Jeremy responded with a smile, hiding his reluctance and nostalgia in his heart without a trace. “I have something to do. Grandpa is still in the yard. You can go and talk to Grandpa for a bit,” Jeremy said, about to turn around.
Madeline suddenly found it a little strange. Although Jeremy had looked in her direction, his sight and focus did not stop on her.
It seemed that he did not look at her even once.
Madeline watched Jeremy turn around and walk slowly into the house, feeling puzzled.
His left hand dangled in front of him, and his ring finger looked bare.
