Chapter 1037
The words he uttered from his lips were filled with intense dissatisfaction.
His cold eyes had the same dismissive feeling as back then.
Madeline looked at this resolute and stern face without any expectation or light in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’ll never come to you again. You’re no longer the one I love. The moment you chose Lana, I had already given up on you.”
“That’s for the best,” Jeremy sneered with the corners of his seductive lips, “I don’t want to be thought of by you anymore. Do you know that in the past few years, I really grew tired of your attachment to me?”
Tired.
It turned out that he had been tired of her love and attachment toward him since a long time ago.
Madeline’s cold heart shuddered again.
At this moment, her cell phone rang. Ryan was calling.
Madeline picked up the call and Ryan’s gentle voice sounded. “I’m downstairs Whitman Corporation. Will you still take long?”
Madeline adjusted her emotions and replied, “Ryan, I’ll head down right away. Please wait for me for a few minutes.”
“Don’t worry. If the one who’s waiting is you, I won’t ever feel tired after waiting.” Ryan’s profession of his love for her fell into Madeline’s ears and also into Jeremy’s.
He turned around without any surprise and looked straight out of the window casually, but he could not help but look toward the door downstairs.
He vaguely saw a silver-white car parked at the entrance. It was Ryan Jones’ car.
Jeremy was in a daze when he suddenly heard Madeline’s audible warning coming from behind him.
“Jeremy, you’d better not think that Lana will still have a good life to live. With every passing day that my parents’ grievances are not avenged, she’d better not think of continuing to be at ease.”
His gaze changed when he heard those words, and when he looked back, Madeline had turned around and was walking toward the door. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
Jeremy watched Madeline’s figure walking away and endured the pain of being eaten away by the toxins. He did not return to the desk until the figure in his pupils disappeared. Then, he took out a painkiller from the drawer and swallowed it.
He observed the security footage of the building’s entrance, and it did not take long before Madeline got into Ryan’s car and they left together.
Jeremy continued looking at the screen even when she had left, his eyes looking gloomy.
‘Linnie, how could I not love you?
‘How could I?’
‘You’re the woman I have engraved into my life—into my bones and blood.
‘It’s just that destiny has to arrange things like this, arrange for you and me to have no future together.
‘I don’t regret meeting you in this life. Only you have allowed me to gain true happiness.’
