Chapter 762
Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife
Felicity did not have the time to respond when Jeremyâs magnetic voice drifted from inside. âWhoâs out there?â
Felicityâs expression immediately changed into a tired and frustrated one. âWhy are you here again, Miss Montgomery? Iâve told you multiple times before that Iâm the person Jeremy loves. Itâs because we look similar that Jeremy took a liking to you as my replacement. Jeremy and I are back together now, so would you kindly please stop bothering us?â
Madeline was certain that Felicity was acting at that point. She wished to rip apart the womanâs mask when Jeremy suddenly appeared in her line of vision.
Jeremy stared calmly at Madeline with his deep and analyzing peach blossom eyes before averting his gaze to look at Felicity as he spoke in a warm tone, âPack your things quickly. Our flight back to Glendale is in three hours.â
âAlright.â Felicity nodded, the provoking tint in her smile deepening.
Madeline could not believe her eyes as she watched Jeremy ignore her. He even closed the door in her surprised face without giving her another look.
Not only did he fail to recognize her, but he was also being cold and disdainful.
It reminded her of how they started.
However, in comparison to the ruthless person he once was, it was evident that this version of him still loved her deeply.
Madeline knew that there had to be a reason behind Jeremyâs attitude, so she took a cab toward Babyâs Breath Manor to look for Felipe without another thought.
Felipe was indeed at the manor. In the garden, the man was sitting casually with a cup of black tea and a book in his hands.
Madeline stood before him and spoke curtly, âThe plane crash, the missing, and the dying were all fake.
You had Felicity and your bodyguard drag me into the car just so that Jeremy and I wouldnât meet. You separated us so that you could do as you wish, didnât you?â
Felipe placed the teacup down nonchalantly while his otherworldly appearance remained unfazed.
âYour heart mustâve hurt so much when you found out that he died, hmm?â
Felipe sneered at Madelineâs silence. âIt never crossed my mind that youâd still be so in love with him, Eveline.â He stood and leaned toward Madeline, his voice deep and bewitching when he spoke, âIt must hurt, hmm? Watching the man you love so deeply ignore you to defend another woman.
âDo you know how I feel now, Eveline?â
Madeline understood it more or less. âYou did all of that just so that Jeremy and I would never get together? You even killed Lillian, the little girl who called you her daddy, just to get what you want!â
âI didnât hurt Lillian.â Felipe proceeded to deny it. âYouâll know soon enough that while I can be ruthless to anyone, I will never disappoint you.â
Felipe then made a move to leave only to have Madeline stand in front of him. âWhat did you do to Jeremy?â
His smile was faint as his eyes glowed with a deluding tint. âHe wouldnât be flying back to Glendale to get registered with another woman if he loved you so much, would he?â
Madeline had indeed heard Jeremy telling Felicity that they were boarding back to Glendale in three hours, but could they truly be going to get registered?
What happened to the man who claimed that he loved and only had feelings for her?
Madeline immediately booked the same flight back as well.
She and Jeremy had already spent too many years suffering. She refused to let the two of them miss each other again just because of someone elseâs purposeful interference and schemes.
Madeline was sitting two seats diagonally from Jeremy.
She watched Felicity stare elatedly at Jeremyâs face as she sat next to him.
After roughly an hour, Madeline found that Felicity had fallen asleep. She was shocked to see Jeremy cover her with a blanket as if in fear of her catching a cold. He then slowly stood up and went to where she assumed was the bathroom.
Suppressing her own emotions, Madeline immediately rushed over to hold the door just as Jeremy was about to close it.
Jeremy had not the time to react when the door was wrenched open. She marched into the bathroom and the door then closed behind her with a click.
Jeremy looked shocked, but Madeline held him by his collar and pressed him against the isolation board before he could open his mouth to speak. She stared into his eyes. âLet me ask you, Jeremy Whitman. Do you truly not recognize me at all?â
The man suddenly reached up to hold the hand on his collar and squinted his eyes. âI do. Of course, I recognize you.â
