Jeremy was already quite used to meeting her this way. He raised his eyebrows, gazing deeply at Madeline’s unblemished, picturesque face.

He obviously did not forget that there used to be two deep wounds on the right side of Madeline’s face. Those wounds never really healed, up until the day she stopped breathing.

However, the face in front of him had a flawless smile, and her skin was completely smooth. In short, she was stunning.

“Miss Vera, our fates seem quite intertwined,” Jeremy said in a casual tone.

Madeline looked at the man in front of her and let out a vibrant smile. “It seems like Mr. Whitman is quite sober today. You’re no longer mistaking me for your dead ex-wife.”

Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows, looking quite dissatisfied.

However, he did not voice it out and instead continued smiling as he said, “I wonder if I can have the honor of treating you to dinner?”

Madeline knitted her eyebrows together. “Dinner might not be possible, but I’m free for lunch today.”
