Chapter 1114
‘Are you just an illusion that I conjured?
‘No, you can’t be. You must be around here.’
Madeline felt anxious. She looked around in hopes of finding Jeremy.
He looked so real just now, but now it was as if he had vanished and disappeared into thin air.
‘Jeremy.’
Madeline continued walking in confusion. When she walked past the staircase, a familiar hand reached out and grabbed her thin arm.
‘Jeremy!’
Madeline felt her heart stop for a second. Before she could see clearly, Jeremy pulled her into the staircase.
The man’s tall body towered over hers while his amber eyes were staring into Madeline’s confused and delighted ones under the dim lighting.
Madeline widened her eyes and lifted her hand to caress the face that was fairer than before.
“Jeremy, is that really you?”
She ran her fingers across his face shakily.
Before Jeremy could answer, she leaped into his arms and held his waist tightly.
“Jeremy, you’re still alive! This is great!
“I missed you, Jeremy. I missed you so much…”
Madeline poured out all of her longing and passion in her mind from these six months as she held him tighter and tighter.
She was so scared that she might be hallucinating again. She was scared that he would disappear from her sight, so she needed to hold him close and not let him disappear from her world again.
Even though she did not know why his appearance had changed so much, the feeling and the warmth of this hug told her that this was the man she loved the most.
After he said that, he leaned down and kissed Madeline on the lips.
Madeline opened her teary eyes and was stunned for a few seconds. However, she was submerged into the man’s gentle kiss soon after. She could feel him pulling her emotions arbitrarily…
The second Madeline closed her eyes, Jeremy opened his and looked at the exit of the staircase.
Ryan appeared in his vision at the same time and their eyes met.
Jeremy smirked slightly and continued to hold Madeline to deepen the kiss.
The party ended two hours later, and during this period, Madeline kept holding Jeremy as they sat on the staircase.
She did not want to let him go, and she did not feel that time had passed until Ryan sent her a message telling her it was time to leave. When that happened, Madeline remembered something.
“Jeremy, I need to go out with Rye. I’ll come to you after,” she said while getting up.
Jeremy grabbed her wrist and slowly stood up as well. “If you don’t want to never see me again, come home with me.”
