Chapter 698
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife
âMadeline, you insufferable b*tch!â Meredith clenched her fists and tried to suppress the rage inside her that was threatening to burn everything in her way. The flames in her eyes were burning brighter and brighter. She wanted so badly to burn Madeline into ashes.
Jeremy pulled Madeline into the elevator. Now, there were only the two of them in the enclosed space.
âLinnie, I knew youâd come.â It was as if Jeremy knew what was going to happen and was not surprised about Madelineâs appearance.
Madeline could already figure things out after listening to him. âYou knew I was following behind you, so you also intentionally left the door open for me, right?â
Jeremy nodded. âI just wanted to see what Felicity was trying to do.â
âSo have you seen it now? She likes you and is even presenting herself to you.â
Jeremy smiled and looked at Madeline after he heard that. He could sense a hint of jealousy in that sentence.
He took one step closer to her. âLinnie, youâre concerned about me.â
Madeline scoffed nonchalantly when he said that. âJeremy, youâre overthinking things just like Felicity.
Iâm not concerned about you.â
After she said that, the door of the elevator opened. Madeline walked out of the elevator without even turning back.
Jeremy chased after her all the way to the parking lot. âLinnie, Linnie!â
He kept calling her name despite her ignoring him, his tone still gentle as he followed her patiently.
He was experiencing what Madeline went through back then by being so patient and careful.
What was his experience right now compared to what she had gone through?
It was nothing.
When he saw Madeline getting into the car, he quickly climbed into the passenger seat.
âWhy are you here?â Madeline stopped starting the car. âGet out.â
Jeremy did not dare to go against Madelineâs wishes. However, at this moment, he decided to go against her.
âJeremy Whitman, I asked you to get out.â
âLinnie, letâs not fool ourselves, okay?â he said all of a sudden.
Madeline looked at his clear eyes in confusion before frowning. âFool ourselves? What do you mean?â
Jeremy looked into her confused eyes with a solemn gaze. âLinnie, I love you. I donât want to lie to myself that I donât care about you so that I can give you to Felipe.â
He got slightly closer to her and continued, âI hope youâll do the same, Linnie. Stop lying to yourself. I know you still have feelings for me and thereâs still a spot for me in the deepest part of your heart.â
Perhaps Jeremyâs eyes were too bewitching, so Madeline was stuck in a daze for a few seconds before coming back to her senses. With a smirk, she said, âJeremy, I feel nothing for you. The person I like is Felipe.â
Jeremy shook his head after she said that. âThe person youâve liked this entire time is me. Even if youâve lost your memories and have forgotten how you used to love me, it still wonât stop you from developing feelings for me.
âItâs because I still exist in your heart, Linnie. Thatâs why you saved me without hesitating when I was almost hit by the car. Thatâs why you frantically screamed out my name at that moment. These are the best proof of it.â
Madelineâs eyes glinted ominously when she heard that. Then, she averted her eyes from him and said coldly, âJeremy, shut up. I have no feelings for you. I told you, I donât want to owe you anything.â
She was starting to not make sense as she chased him away. âGet out.â
However, Jeremy reached over and grabbed her before putting his face close to hers. âLinnie, stop lying to yourself. You still love me.â
Madeline glared at him angrily. âJeremy, Iâm going to tell you one last time. I donât. The person I love is Feli⦠Huh?â
Before Madeline could utter the last syllable, Jeremy leaned down and captured her lips in his.
