Chapter 953
Jeremy was about to exert more strength, but after hearing Madeline’s comment, his grip loosened.
He stared at her cloudy eyes, and he was eventually lost in his thoughts
Right then, Madeline’s tears fell on the back of his palm. The temperature of her tears seeped through his skin, traveling all the way to the bottom of his heart. The warm sensation made him snap out of it and return to reality.
“Stop treating me as your dead husband,” said Jeremy coldly as he released his grip.
“Cough, cough.” Madeline choked and gasped after she was released.
His grip on her neck earlier was indeed painful, but it was nothing compared to the disappointment she felt from his cold and heartless orbs.
Despite what she was going through, Madeline remained fearless. “The person who you care most about right now is Lana, am I right? If anything were to happen to my kid, I’ll make sure she pays the same price too!”
Jeremy looked at Madeline’s sharp gaze with a look of disapproval on him and chuckled. “Just by yourself?”
His eyes glittered with disdain.
Madeline looked back at him, stern. “I dare you to try me.”
She spouted out those few words, turned around, and left the scene.
Jeremy yanked Madeline back into his arms with his breath engulfing her. “Do you think you’ll be able to get away from here after showing up?”
“What about it? Are you thinking of finishing me as well?” Madeline was not the slightest bit afraid of him.
She thought Jeremy was up to no good. However, he raised his hand and touched her on the cheek gently. “I need you for a favor. If you can do it, I’ll let you go.”
He was speaking in a domineering tone, yet his eyes were serious about what he was saying.
Madeline glanced at him with a cold stare. “Helping you out means helping Lana, that maniac, to carry out some evil doings… I’ll never do such a thing.”
“Hmph.” Jeremy giggled. “What do you think I’m planning to make you do?”
