Chapter 1121

Ryan had just picked up his glass of water when he heard that. His hand was now frozen in mid-air.

There was a faint smile on his handsome and elegant face. “Jeremy, I think you may have misunderstood.”

“Have I?” Jeremy smiled profoundly. There seemed to be a dark tide in his amber eyes. “If you don’t want me to misunderstand, give me back my woman.”

Ryan understood what Jeremy was talking about. Then, he took a sip of water. “Even though your appearance has changed a lot, you’re still as possessive and overbearing as usual.”

“You’re also one of the reasons why I became like this,” Jeremy retorted.

The smile on Ryan’s face froze. “I think you’ve found out a lot. However, I don’t think you’ve gotten all of the information yet. There are some things that you’ll never know.”

Jeremy lifted his eyebrow. When he was about to say something, Madeline returned.

“What are you boys talking about?” Madeline smiled slightly and asked. Then, she walked over to where Jeremy was sitting. Before she could sit down, Jeremy stood up abruptly and held her hand.

Madeline looked at him in curiosity. “Jeremy, what’s wrong?”

Then, Jeremy leaned down and pressed his lips against Madeline’s right in front of Ryan.

Madeline was shocked by the sudden kiss. Then, she heard Jeremy say, “Ryan and I are done talking.

You’ll sign the divorce papers tomorrow.”

That fast?

Madeline was in disbelief, but she did not suspect anything.

She looked at Ryan who got up with a smile. “Yeah, Jeremy and I have reached a compromise. Let’s sign the divorce papers tomorrow.”

Ryan answered without hesitation, making Madeline feel touched and glad. “Thank you, Rye.”

“Protecting you and your family is one of my tasks. I’m happy now that I’ve completed my task,” Ryan said, getting ready to leave. “You guys just reunited, so you should spend more time together. I’ll get going now.”

Madeline wanted to keep Ryan here, but then she heard Jeremy say, “Bye.”

Ryan smiled and looked into Jeremy’s eyes before turning around.

After Ryan left, Jeremy sat back down and picked up the menu.

When he noticed Madeline looking in the direction where Ryan left, he pulled her back to him. Then, he stared at her with his alluring eyes. “Why are you still looking at him? Are you unwilling to let him go?”

“…” Madeline felt that perhaps they had been apart for too long and that was why Jeremy was suspecting their relationship. That would explain why he was getting jealous so easily now as well.

She did not want to be mad at him. Life was long, but the time they were about to spend with each other was too little.

Madeline held Jeremy’s hand. “It has been so many years now. Don’t you know who’s the person I feel the most unwilling to let go of?”

After Jeremy heard that, the coldness in Jeremy’s eyes faded.

He ordered some food that were all Madeline’s favorites. He still remembered Madeline’s preferences as clear as day.

On the way home, Madeline looked at Jeremy and said while they were waiting for the red light, “Jeremy, stop ignoring Lily. Even though she still doesn’t know that you’re her father, she really likes you.”

Jeremy looked at the blinking red light as a countdown started appearing in his head. Then, his expression became grim.

Madeline noticed that he was ignoring her, so she looked over curiously. “Jeremy, did you hear me?

Lily is our daughter. She’s still traumatized after what Lana did to her, so that’s why she can’t speak.

You’re her birth father and she needs the love of a father, Jeremy. Jeremy?”

Jeremy’s indifference concerned Madeline. She reached over to try to hold his hand when suddenly, Jeremy grasped her wrist tightly.

He was holding her hand extremely tight, making her frown in pain. Then, she saw the malice in Jeremy’s eyes. The sight of him looked extremely horrifying.

“Stop talking,” Jeremy uttered those two words impatiently, looking at her as if he was looking at an enemy he resented.
