Chapter 1452

“Okay, I’ll take you away from here now,” he said and turned around to walk to the yacht.

Madeline quickly went back to the house to grab a bathrobe to put on her body. Then, she hurriedly followed Ryan onto the yacht.

After a while, Ryan started the yacht.

The weight on Madeline’s chest was slowly lifted. ‘Jeremy, I’ll be back by your side soon.’

She thought internally while missing her three children a lot.

She could not imagine what would happen if the woman who was impersonating her did something out of line to Jeremy and the children.

However, when she thought about it, she still believed that Jeremy would not be fooled so easily and that the woman would not brazenly hurt the children.

If she wanted to impersonate her and replace her, she would need to play the part of a good wife and a loving mother.

When she thought about this, Madeline felt more at ease.

Madeline walked to the deck and faced the sea breeze. The cold wind was permeating her skin.

She wrapped the bathrobe tighter around her body and sneezed involuntarily.

It was the middle of autumn and she had just gotten out of the sea, so Madeline felt a bit cold.

She wanted to go back into the cabin of the yacht when she saw Ryan walking toward her.

Ryan had turned on the autopilot on the yacht. When he saw Madeline’s short hair that was messed up by the wind, he saw a kind of elegant beauty that was birthed from the mess.

“Say, why do you think that God let two people meet when he knows that they’ll never fall in love? Also, why do you think he makes the other party fall in love and experience a one-sided affair?” Ryan asked Madeline this question from out of nowhere.

Madeline had also asked herself this question before.

“If all feelings are to be reciprocated in this world, then there will not be terms like broken-hearted and inconsolable,” Madeline said calmly. Her voice seemed to be amplified by the sea breeze as it fell into Ryan’s heart. It was causing his heart to grow colder and colder.

“Ryan, I don’t love you and I’ve never had any feelings for you. I hope you can understand that you can never force feelings because it’s impossible. That’s why a relationship where the couple can be each other’s sunshine is the most precious.”

Madeline went back to the cabin after she said that. When she walked past Ryan, she heard him sigh.

“Eveline, can I hug you for a while?” he asked, looking so humble. “My life will end in 29 days.”

Madeline stopped in her tracks. “You chose this path, so you can’t blame anyone.”

Ryan curled the corners of his lips into a smile. “You’re right. I did choose this path. I wanted to make more money to further develop the Jones family’s business. However, I realized too late that the power and wealth I obtained illegally would turn into dust eventually. Not only that, I’d have to risk my life for it too.”

He lowered his head, his eyes landing on Madeline’s side profile. “Since I’m going to die, why don’t I just indulge myself, am I right?”

“…”

Madeline sensed that something was amiss when she heard this.

She lifted her head to look at Ryan and saw a smile with hidden meaning on his lips.

Madeline felt that Ryan’s smile was problematic, but she did not probe into what Ryan was thinking about right now. When she was about to walk away, she realized that the yacht was heading in another direction.

Ryan’s direction was here, but the yacht was heading in a completely different direction.

Madeline suddenly understood the meaning behind Ryan’s smile. She turned around abruptly. “Ryan, I think you’re really crazy! You’re the one who wanted to play the game and you lost! I shouldn’t have believed you!”

“I didn’t lose. You’re the one who appeared in front of me within the set time of the game.”

“You’re despicable.” Madeline looked down on him.

Ryan scoffed indifferently. “I just want to spend the last moments of my life with you.”

“Just give up! I’ll never spend romantic time alone with a man who’s not Jeremy!” Madeline smiled in determination. Suddenly, she removed the bathrobe on her body and sped to the deck.

Ryan felt that something was wrong as his expression changed. “Eveline, what are you doing?”
