Madeline never expected to see the day when Jeremy would kneel for her. It would be a lie to deny that she was shocked, but as shocked as she was, it would be more fitting to claim that she found the situation absurd. The man before her was one of noble status and his name was known throughout the entirety of Glendale. It was a given that anyone who crossed paths with him would treat him with respect, while some went the extra mile to get on his good side. It was hard to imagine such a man kneeling in front of her, in front of the woman he had once cast away. Madeline lowered her aloof gaze to stare at Jeremy’s handsome face, his knitted brows radiating the sorrow he felt. “Who would have thought that the young master of the greatest family would kneel for the woman he had once tossed away? Don’t you find it hilarious, Mister Whitman?” Jeremy took Madeline’s mockery in stride. “I would do anything for your happiness.” “Hah.” Madeline scoffed. “You’ll make me very happy if

Madeline was taken by surprise when she found herself being held tightly in Jeremy’s arms. She had not the chance to avoid him.A smudge of anger tinted Felipe’s gentle features. “Let go, Jeremy. Stop bothering her. Vera’s my fianceé.” “You’re very well aware who exactly I’m holding in my arms, Felipe, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that Madeline and I are still legally married. Don’t become a homewrecker.” Felipe’s expression darkened. Jeremy tugged lightly on Madeline’s waist with a faint smile. “Let’s go, darling.” “...” Madeline had half the mind to struggle only to realize that several parents were watching her and Jeremy. Remembering how happy and proud Jackson was as he introduced her and Jeremy moments ago, Madeline relented. Sparing Felipe and his cold eyes a glance, Madeline followed Jeremy into his car. It was only after they had left the kindergarten perimeters that Madeline requested Jeremy to stop his car. He listened and stopped by the road

The document was formatted as if it was a diary. Clicking into it, the first thing Madeline saw was the date above. It was dated three years ago, the day after she had ‘died’. Its content left Madeline tongue-tied. [I never thought you would leave me like this. You wouldn’t, right? This must be a prank, right? Don’t joke about things like this, Madeline. It’s not funny. [You said you loved me, that you’d bother me forever. Why is your forever so short? It can’t be. I refuse to believe that it is… [You must be doing this on purpose, Madeline. You’re doing this so that I would never forget you and miss you forever. You’re sly, but I won’t fall for it. [Madeline… [Madeline…]“...” Everything afterward was just her name typed again and again. Her hand that was on the mouse trembled lightly. While she could clearly read the words typed in the document on her screen, Madeline found herself unable to imagine how Jeremy must have felt while he wrote it back then.Nor d

Madeline’s eyes flared as she clenched her fists tightly, her tone sounding determined. “Lily is not related to you in any way, Jeremy! Stop your wishful thinking!” Her control over her emotions loosened as she fought to deny. “It’s because you hurt me so thoroughly, you b*stard, that I gave myself to Felipe. He was the only ray of light in the darkness you put me in!” Madeline met Jeremy’s growingly somber gaze. “Lillian is Felipe’s and my child. She will never have a person like you as her father, so stop lumping Lily with the likes of you!” With that, Madeline raised her hand to push away the man in front of her. Without realizing how boneless his legs had gotten, Jeremy felt himself stagger backward at the push. Madeline took her bag and left the villa without another look. Sitting in the taxi she hailed to head home, Madeline’s mind began to take a trip down an agonizing memory lane… Picking up her weak body, Madeline had Ava bring her to Jeremy and Meredith’s enga

Jeremy felt a tug on his heartstrings. He immediately tried to call Madeline once Felipe’s call with her ended, but it was without doubt that Madeline had already blacklisted his number. Felipe chuckled lowly. “Don’t waste your energy. Madeline loves me now. All she feels for you is hate.” Jeremy’s expression darkened. “What happened to Madeline, Felipe? What did she tell you?!” “None of your business,” Felipe replied coldly, “You have no right to ask about Madeline again.” “Who cares about what’s going on to that woman?!” Karen hounded confidently at Felipe from behind before Jeremy could speak and held her son back.“That Madeline helped Felipe. It’s their fault our family’s like this now, Jeremy. Why are you still thinking about her? What’s wrong with you? Did you forget how much you hated her in the beginning?” Jeremy snatched his arm back in annoyance. “Leave your nose out of Madeline’s and my business.” “Jeremy, Jeremy!” “Stop shouting,” Old Master Whitman fina
