Chapter 1087
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Jeremy did not know what was the gift Ryan was talking about.
However, he still took the car key and went to the door of the cafe. When he saw Ryanâs car by the side of the road, he slowly walked over.
The sun in the summer afternoon was warm. The rays landed on the car lightly, and through the half-
opened car window, Jeremy saw the breathtaking face that he dreamed about every day.
âLinnie.â
His heart was suddenly full of joy he had felt back then.
Jeremy opened the door quietly and smelled the faint scent of Japanese roses.
âEveline was tired, so I told her weâre coming out to let her free her head. I lit the incense she made, so she should be sleeping soundly now. You can go and stay with her for the last time.â
Ryanâs voice sounded from behind.
Jeremy understood immediately. âThank you.â
âI should be the one thanking you. You completed a difficult task from Interpol and handed the person you love to me. Donât worry, I wonât let you down.â
After Ryan said that, he turned around and left to let Jeremy have this moment.
Jeremy sat in the driverâs seat and looked at the person who was sleeping on the passengerâs seat. He lifted his hand slowly to caress her face, but he did not dare to put his fingers on her even after a very long time.
He was scared that he would wake her up.
He understood that she was exhausted recently. Not just her body, but also her heart.
Jeremy leaned against the chair and looked at the delicate sleeping face next to his. Then, he curled the corners of his lips into a sexy smile.
âLinnie, this is great. I didnât expect to see you for the last time.
âThank you for crashing into my life and lighting up my dull, boring life.
âThis light will never go out in my heart until the moment I die.
âLinnie, my Linnie, I hope I can love you boldly and openly in the next life. I hope I wonât lack the guts to admit my love for you like last time.â
Jeremy looked at Madeline. These few seconds were enough for him to savor it for the rest of his life.
Ryan did not know when Jeremy left. When he came back though, it was already dawn.
Madeline woke up groggily and Jeremy was nowhere to be seen.
Ryan could not tell Madeline about Jeremyâs current condition. This was a promise between the two men.
Jeremy had been acting cold to Madeline and his three children during this period. The reason he did that was so that Madeline and the children would stop missing a cold-hearted man like him.
Madeline opened her eyes and realized that she had fallen asleep in Ryanâs car. She looked out of the window and realized they were in front of a cafe when she saw Jeremy and a strange man.
When she found it odd, she could vaguely smell the signature scent that Jeremy wore lingering in the car.
It was as if he had been in this car a while ago.
However, he was indeed in the car just now. It was just that Madeline did not know about that. When she smelled the scent, she only suspected whether something was wrong with her nose.
Ryan then drove Madeline home. Since he was worried that she would overthink, he randomly started a conversation.
âI heard Lana was arrested and will be punished soon. You can avenge your parents now.â
Madeline was still thinking about Jeremy. When she heard that, she came back to her senses. âI want to go to where theyâve locked her up.â
Ryan did not want to tell Madeline about his real job, but if she met Lana, everything would be exposed.
He contemplated and felt that there was no reason to stop her.
