Chapter 1413

She turned to look at the man beside her to see him staring gently at her. Madeline felt her face growing hotter and her heart racing faster.

Despite already being in love with the man for quite some time, she was dazed as if she had been turned into a lovesick young lady.

She looked up to see the professor teaching the subject passionately. Madeline could not help but play along with the man next to her, allowing him to hook his fingers with hers. Their fingers were intertwined until the bell that signified the end of class rang.

Madeline could not imagine how it would be if she and Jeremy had gotten the chance to relive their school days. If the past could be rewritten, she wondered if he would turn into the bossy handsome kid who would surround her every day during and after classes, preventing other boys from coming close to her.

Most likely.

Madeline smiled sweetly. From how bossy he was on the beach yesterday, she would not be surprised if he did anything he could to make her his.

Strolling by the campus where even the atmosphere was filled with youthfulness, Madeline found her mood greatly lifted.

The gloom and worry from moments ago seemed to have been swept away. All she wanted to do now was spend some quiet time with this man.

Jeremy and Madeline spent the entire morning in the university. He even brought her to the canteen for lunch during lunchtime.

There were many couples in the university, but it was the first time the students saw such a pretty and loving pair.

“When did our school have such handsome and pretty students?”

“I’ve never seen them before. They don’t seem like our students.”

“Why would they be wearing our uniform if they’re not our students, then? Are you stupid?”

Madeline and Jeremy shared a knowing smile at the conversation around them.

After lunch, Jermey brought Madeline and left the university.

The two strolled under the trees where rays of sunlight would shine through the leaves. Madeline could not help but tease the man, saying, “Who would’ve thought that Mr. Whitman would be so eye-

catching? They were right. You’re indeed a handsome student. I’m pretty sure the number of girls who liked you back in Glendale University would be enough to surround the campus!”

The man quirked his lips proudly. “Are you sure it’s just enough to surround the campus? Not the entirety of Glendale?”

“Yeah, yeah, enough to surround the entire Glendale. I’m the luckiest one to be acknowledged by the great Mr. Whitman.” Madeline played along in mock annoyance before she chided, “You were the one who wanted to get married to me. Yet you just had to pretend to be the victim and made it seem as if Grandfather was the one who forced you. You’re a scheming man, Jeremy Whitman.”

Jeremy’s smile grew even prouder. “If I wasn’t a little scheming, how else would I be able to marry such a great wife?” He smiled before his gaze turned gentle and his voice grew soft. “You have no idea how popular you were back in school, Linnie.”

“I was popular?” Madeline pointed at herself in disbelief. Looking back, the only people who talked to her back in her university days were Meredith, Ava, and Daniel.

Forget the boys, but not even girls tried to be friends with her.

Jeremy came to a halt as he stared at Madeline’s confused expression. The man then smiled and told her the truth that he had kept away for a long time.

“There were so many boys who tried to pursue you when you first entered university, Linnie. Love at first sight, you know? They tried so many ways to get your contact information and some even wrote love letters for you.”

Madeline was even more confused. “But I didn’t receive any love letters at all, nor did anyone text me their confession. I only remember Dan confessing to me during the graduation ceremony and you ended up thinking that we were together, you doofus.”

“Cough cough.” Jeremy coughed twice as an embarrassed expression spread on his attractive features. He then spoke in a serious tone. “Don’t you know that a jealous man is the pettiest? Daniel completely ignored my presence by confessing to you during the graduation ceremony.”

“Why do people need to acknowledge your presence, though? Nothing was going on between us back then.”
