Chapter 1553
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Hearing the word Jeremy uttered, Madeline was completely stunned.
She widened her stunning eyes that were filled with shock as she looked at the man who was slowly standing up. Despite the height difference, their eyes would always meet in the same straight line.
Madelineâs heartbeat was chaotic, and so were her thoughts. However, she had clearly seen Jeremyâs frivolous gaze a second before. Yet, at this moment, it had gradually become affectionate and soft.
âYou havenât forgotten what I said, right, Linnie?â
His voice was as soft as the spring breeze as it brushed past her ears.
âThat day, after having a candlelight dinner with you and watching the fireworks on the street, I said that no matter how the years change or whether your beauty fades, youâll always be the most perfect and flawless woman in my heart.
âNo matter what you become, youâre the only one I love in my life.â
What Jeremy said that night was spilling out from his lips again.
The corners of Madelineâs eyes started to feel warm uncontrollably.
It turned out that at that time, he had deliberately said those words.
It was because he had long felt that she was his Linnie, so he was telling her that on purpose.
âLinnie, no matter how ugly or unbearable you look, youâll always be my Linnie. Only you can move me in this world.â
As Jeremyâs words fell, the tears in Madelineâs eyes also came streaming down.
Jeremy bowed his head and pressed his lips gently on the corner of Madelineâs eye that was soaked with tears.
Madeline felt her heart tremble as she closed her eyes softly.
âIt turns out that he already knows.
âHe felt everything and saw through everything from the beginning.â
That was why he got close to her, got intimate with her, and said all those words that sounded frivolous and amorous.
He did all of those because he knew she was the person he loved.
That was all.
Jeremy kissed away the tears in the corners of Madelineâs eyes. He reached out his long fingers and hooked them to the strap of the mask behind Madelineâs ear.
Madeline did not hide from him. She allowed him to take off her mask just like that.
Then, what came into his vision was a fair, pristine, and flawless face with no makeup.
Although Madelineâs face had already been tattooed in his heart, at that moment, a stunned glint still flashed across Jeremyâs eyes uncontrollably.
At the same time, he felt a hint of joy and luck.
It was because he thought of the earlier time when he accidentally saw her face that was full of scars which caused him so much heartache.
Jeremy pulled Madeline into his arms and hugged her tightly.
âLinnie, youâve suffered so much.â
He was in distress. He did not know what exactly had happened to her, but he was sure that those experiences must have been quite painful.
What had happened and what could have disfigured her face like this?
Yet, for Madeline, she felt safe and blessed while nestling in Jeremyâs chest at this moment.
âWhen did you find out?â Madeline asked with a tearful smile, âYou already knew, so why didnât you expose me?â
âIt was the day you looked at me in the rain. At that moment, I felt that my heartbeat was not right,â
Jeremy explained, âI couldnât stand to see you getting caught in the rain, so I gave you the umbrella.â
Madeline was pleasantly surprised and pleased to receive this answer.
It turned out that he had a feeling about her from the very first glance.
