Chapter 1603

“Linnie.”

The man’s low and soft voice rang out behind her ears.

Madeline slowly lifted her sharp yet beautiful eyes. She then saw Jeremy’s narrow eyes that were brimming with emotions in the mirror.

“Linnie.” Jeremy got closer to Madeline, his warm palm holding her thin wrist tightly.

“Linnie, do you have any secrets? Why are you staying with Carter?”

Madeline lowered her eyes to look at Jeremy’s hand that was holding hers tightly. Then, her icy glare looked into Jeremy’s enthusiastic and expectant eyes.

“If I don’t stay with Carter, should I go back to you instead?” Madeline asked with a cold chuckle. She pushed Jeremy’s hand away. “Why did I marry a guy like you back then? Jeremy, I’ve already divorced you. Let me warn you now, stop pestering me.”

After listening to Madeline, Jeremy felt as if his heart had been struck by lightning. In that instant, his heart broke into two pieces.

Warn.

She said she was warning him to stop pestering her.

She said how could she have married a guy like him?

Jeremy knew he had wronged Madeline before, but he also knew that it was impossible for Madeline to say these kinds of things to him now.

This person in front of him was like a completely different person. The way she talked and acted was different from what he knew of her.

‘Is this not Linnie?’

This thought appeared in Jeremy’s head.

No, impossible.

Judging from the skin contact when he held her wrist earlier and the feeling she gave him, he was 100 percent sure that the person in front of him was his Linnie.

However, how did Linnie become like this?

Jeremy was stuck in an astonished and heartbroken state while he watched Madeline leave decisively.

Judging from what she was wearing, Jeremy was sure that she was attending this party with Carter tonight.

However, he would not allow her to appear on such an occasion with Carter as husband and wife.

Jeremy looked at Madeline’s figure that was getting farther and farther away. He quickly ran behind her and when she was least expecting it, he lifted her up.

Madeline was caught off guard, so when Jeremy carried her away by the waist, she struggled with all her might. “What are you doing? Jeremy, put me down! You scum!”

“Yes, I’m scum, Linnie. You’re right. I did a lot of things that hurt you in the past, but you said you’ll give me another chance to start over.”

“I never said that. Jeremy, you’d better put me down or else…”

“Linnie, there’s no ‘or else’. I don’t know why you’ve become like this but I can tell you with certainty that I’m the man you love the most.”

“Carter is the man I love the most. Put me down now! I want to go back to Carter!”

Madeline’s emphasis felt like tiny needles stabbing into Jeremy’s heart, and the intense pain quickly overwhelmed him. Even so, his grip on Madeline only tightened.

He did not say any more. He brought Madeline to the garage in the underground parking as quickly as he could.

However, Madeline did not give in just like that. She was still fighting back and struggling.

Inside the dim garage, the sharpness in Madeline’s eyes was still clear. She was glaring at Jeremy and looked even more overbearing than him.

“Jeremy, this is my final warning. Let me go. If not, you’ll get into trouble.”

Jeremy gripped Madeline’s hands that were trying to escape and gently curled the corners of his alluring lips. His eyes looked gentle, yet there was intense confidence in them. “Linnie, I’d rather get into trouble than let you run to another man again.”
