Chapter 1465

The woman walking next to Jeremy stopped walking as well. Her face was filled with a grin that she could not hide. She then asked in a sweet voice, “Jeremy, what’s wrong? What are you looking at?”

Madeline could not believe this. This woman’s voice was almost the same as hers back then too.

However, she never had that tone that was full of pretense.

Jeremy ignored the woman next to him at this moment. He was staring at Madeline absent-mindedly.

For some reason, Jeremy felt as if his heartbeat and breathing were under the control of the pair of eyes that were not far away from him.

‘Could there be another woman with the same eyes as Linnie in this world?’

Jeremy had this question in his heart. He could not help but take a step forward and walk toward Madeline who was quietly standing alone in the rain.

Immediately, the happy woman who was holding the roses had an annoyed expression on her face when she saw Jeremy suddenly walking to a woman who had her face covered while holding an umbrella.

The woman curled her lips unhappily at Jeremy’s back where he could not see before following him.

On the other hand, as Madeline watched Jeremy walking toward her, her heartbeat started to get erratic.

This was the man who she had been dreaming about this entire time. He was now walking toward her, but somehow, she had the urge to back away.

She hoped that Jeremy would recognize her, but at the same time, she was also scared that he would.

He fixed his deep eyes on her, and Madeline felt the grievances that were hidden in her heart about to pour down in torrents.

This was the man she wanted to depend on the most in her lifetime. She wanted to remove her tough armor in front of him and only wanted to be protected and loved by him.

Madeline could not control her emotions anymore. She looked expectantly at Jeremy. Before she could stop herself, she parted her lips.

“Jer—”

“Jeremy, who’s this? Do you know her?”

After Madeline uttered the first syllable, the imposter interrupted her.

The woman walked up to Jeremy and her gaze landed on Madeline’s face.

When the woman saw Madeline with a mask and a scarf as well as the small scar on her forehead, she shifted her gaze coldly. “Jeremy, let’s go home now. The children are waiting for us.”

When she heard this, Madeline’s eyebrows furrowed.

She stared straight at Jeremy as her eyes bled with the desire to say something, but she still swallowed the words down in the end.

On the other hand, Jeremy did not know why but he handed his umbrella over to her with no explanation as he looked at those eyes that appeared as if they could talk.

“For you.” He parted his lips slightly, his tone so gentle.

The woman looked at Jeremy strangely. “Jeremy, is this your friend?”

Jeremy did not say anything. He merely stared at Madeline and noticed that she was also spacing out while staring at him. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Madeline’s right hand to stuff the umbrella into her hand.

“Don’t stay in the rain even if you’re in a bad mood. You’ll get sick,” he advised kind-heartedly.

Madeline’s heart was trembling furiously. The moment Jeremy held her hand, her tears almost escaped her eyes disobediently.

Jeremy was at a loss about what to do as he did not expect Madeline to cry. Plus, he also did not know why his heart would feel the pain of being burnt by her tears.

“Jeremy, let’s go. The rain is getting heavier.” The woman urged again. When she saw Madeline crying, she was even more curious. “Jeremy, does this woman know you? Why is she crying?”

Jeremy finally let go of Madeline’s hand and shook his head. Then, he parted his lips and said to the woman, “Let’s go home.”

Madeline lowered her head dully after she heard that. “Thank you.”

She said softly, but after she said that, her voice made Jeremy and the woman look at her again at the same time.

Madeline felt their gazes on her and smiled. She hid the wedding ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

Then, she held the umbrella Jeremy gave her with her right hand and walked forward.

Jeremy turned around and looked at Madeline’s thin back that was getting farther and farther away. He unconsciously spaced out in the rain for a long while.
