It was still not her."That's good." Madeline smiled, satisfied. "I heard that Mr. Whitman hates Madeline very much. She has been dead for three years. Why do you still keep her old clothes in your room? "Jeremy locked his gaze on Madeline's face when he heard these words. "How do you know that these are my ex-wife's clothes?"Madeline smiled calmly. "This is a very simple guess, isn't it?"Hearing this rhetorical question, Jeremy smiled. "That's right."At the same time, Meredith contacted Tanner who had just come out of the hospital.Tanner had not gained anything last night, having been scared to death by the sudden appearance of a ‘ghost’. He was also severely beaten by Jeremy until he lost a tooth. He had simply suffered double the loss.He came out of the hospital as soon as he heard that tooth fillings cost tens of thousands of dollars.Where was he to get so much money as a quack? When he received a call from Meredith, he felt as if an opportunity had come.Meredith w

Seeing Tanner charge over, Madeline thought of the atrocities he had done to her.After a flash of a moment, when she had finally reacted to counterattack, a gust of wind roared from behind her all of a sudden.Jeremy's warm palms held onto her shoulders tightly, bringing her to the side.Madeline was instantly surrounded by a familiar yet unfamiliar warm breath. Before she could see clearly, she saw Tanner swiping the air before hitting the tree. It was followed by Jeremy's right hand twisting him around.Tanner suddenly screamed, "Ow, ow!" However, Jeremy did not let up. He lifted his foot to Tanner's knee and kicked him viciously, forcing Tanner to kneel down before kicking him away.Madeline thought that Jeremy wanted to continue to teach Tanner a lesson, but he suddenly hugged her tightly, worried."Don't be afraid, I’m here. I won’t let anyone bully you again."His gentle voice slipped into her ears like water in the night. It was so unbelievably gentle, carrying a trace o

The person who looked for Tanner must have been Meredith.Madeline knew it very well, but she did not think Jeremy did.He had always believed in Meredith blindly.It was also because he had indulged Meredith again and again that it brought her such deep pain previously.However, if he really wanted to cover for Meredith, why did he take the extra effort to ask Madeline to pretend to be who she was back then to worm facts out of Tanner?Madeline thought that Jeremy would leave right away, but she did not expect him to follow her to the door of her apartment.“Can I go in and sit for a while?” Jeremy parted his lips lightly, requesting.It was already late at night. Madeline wanted to refuse, but she glanced at his bleeding hand and decided to open the door to let him in. “Come in.”She did not think she was feeling sorry for him. She just wanted to get some information from him.Madeline brought out the medical kit. Seeing the man sitting impassively on the sofa, she walked in

As Madeline’s voice fell, Jeremy’s embrace then became empty.A sense of endless loneliness occupied his heart for a moment. He seemed to have just gotten back from getting lost.Looking at the face in front of him, Jeremy realized that he had lost his cool just now.He had even shown her that depressed and gloomy side of his that no one knew. Moreover, he had craved for her hug so much, even longed for her to feel sorry for him and hug him tight…This was something that had never happened before.Yet he knew that he was only like this all because of this face.This face that was almost identical to hers back then.“Didn’t you say you’d arrive tomorrow? Why are you back so sudden?” Madeline brought Jeremy back to his sense with her somewhat cheerful voice.Only then did he realize something and remembered what she had just said. ‘My fiancé is here.’Fiancé?“Is there a guest home?” A man’s voice was heard.Jeremy frowned. Although this voice was not particularly familiar, it

Madeline shook her head. “I still didn’t handle it well enough. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be suspecting me again and again for being his damned ex-wife.”Madeline carried bitterness in her emotions when she said the last two words, but she quickly smiled at Felipe faintly.“Don’t worry about me. I’m no longer the silly and stupid Madeline Crawford. I won’t disappoint you with the chance of rebirth that you’ve given me.”Felipe curled the edge of his lips and smiled. There was a touch of mystery in those bright and deep eyes.Madeline helped him to take off the coat that had been dampened by rainwater and got him new toiletries.He took a shower and put on a white bathrobe, wiping a few strands of his wet hair with a dry towel.He entered Madeline’s room naturally. Seeing the cutie asleep on the bed, Felipe bent down slowly and dropped a loving kiss on Lily’s cheek.“Felipe, I’ve cleaned up the room.” Madeline entered the room softly.Felipe turned and walked toward her. “I’ll be g

In the crowd, there was suddenly an overly familiar voice that came from nowhere.Madeline’s heart was in her mouth all of a sudden and her heartbeat also increased. Yet, her face revealed no reaction. She walked toward Jeremy without even a single ripple.“Mr. Whitman, did you deliberately bring me here for breakfast?” She smiled, the morning rays after the rain falling on her immaculate and delicate face, shining beautifully.Jeremy seemingly glanced in a certain direction, then nodded. “Won’t my future aunt-in-law show deference in a public setting? Or are you worried that Uncle Felipe will be jealous?”“Why would Felipe be jealous because of such a thing?” Madeline smiled calmly, but her heartbeat was erratic.She could still hear that familiar voice calling out ‘Maddie’ again and again.That voice, accompanied by rapid footsteps, got closer and closer.However, she just calmly followed Jeremy’s footsteps to the breakfast shop.“Maddie!”At last, just when Madeline was abo

Jeremy sneered lowly, his slender, dewy eyes looking at Madeline’s elegant back. “You really think she’s Madeline?”“Nonsense! Of course, she’s Maddie!” Ava affirmed without a doubt. “Jeremy, I’m telling you, don’t think about hurting Maddie anymore. If Maddie gets hurt again, I’ll fight you tooth and nail this time!”Hearing Ava’s warning, Jeremy suddenly curled his lips in self-mockery.A friend who would fight tooth and nail for her.However, what about this husband?Jeremy did not say anything. He then got into the car and started the engine.Madeline was seated in the car. She caught a glimpse of Ava’s dejected figure in her peripheral vision. She gradually became smaller and smaller in the rear-view mirror, and her heart hurt more and more.‘I’m sorry, Ava.‘Now is not the time to acknowledge you.‘I’ll offer you a humble apology after I take my revenge.’Madeline recollected her attention. When the car passed by an intersection, she requested. “Stop the car.”Jeremy l

Just as an accident was about to occur, Jeremy reached out and grabbed Madeline’s wrist, pulling her into his arms with all his might.The car that ran the yellow light whizzed past Madeline’s side.As Jeremy had been too forceful, he lost his balance and fell backward. The person in his arms fell to the ground with him, leading to a heavy crash.“Don’t be afraid, it’s alright now.”Madeline vaguely heard Jeremy said.She wanted to get up but was enveloped tightly in Jeremy’s embrace. His right hand was pressed on the back of her head as though it was a subconscious act of protecting her.Madeline just lay on Jeremy’s body. Her nose picked up the unique fragrance on his body. It was a familiar scent in her memory.She felt her heartbeat and breathing going a little erratic. She did not know if it was the shock from almost being hit by a car just now.When a breeze blew over, Madeline recovered her heartbeat and breathing. “Mr. Whitman, you can let me go now.”Upon hearing her
