Chapter 1616
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âYeah, itâs that handsome uncle. Iâm taking you to see that handsome uncle now.â
âWhy are we seeing him?â The little guy still had a dumb look on his face.
Cathy smiled and was stumped for words.
Right, why were they here to see him?
Was it to not let him die with regrets?
When she thought about this, Cathy felt as if her heart had been stabbed by needles. Once again, her heart was in tremendous pain.
When Felipe heard that someone was here to visit him, he thought it was Jeremy. He wanted to ask Jeremy to send a message to the old master for him, but when he went to the conjugal room, he could not believe what he was seeing.
âCathy?â
His eyes were filled with astonishment. He could not hide the surprise from overflowing from his eyes.
Cathy looked indifferently at the man whose face was filled with joy. He looked very haggardly to her, and his beautiful black eyes looked bloodshot. However, since he was happy, he looked pretty energetic now.
After looking at him for a while, Cathy recomposed himself. She averted her gaze and spoke as if it was no big matter.
âI heard youâre getting the death penalty soon. Even though I donât remember what happened back then, I heard from them that we had a special relationship. So, for the sake of that, Iâm here to bid farewell to you.â
Felipe looked straight at Cathy who was sitting opposite him. Although her words were making him feel a sense of loss, he had nothing to ask for now that he could see her again.
âOh, I see,â Felipe smiled and said, âThank you for coming to see me, a heartless rat who has done so many evil crimes, even after knowing that I had hired someone to kill you.â
After Cathy heard that, she smiled softly. âYou didnât betray me, you just didnât love me.â
Felipeâs dull eyes started lighting up after he heard that.
âFelipe, you donât have to feel bad. You canât force a relationship. It was my wishful thinking back then for wanting to get you to reciprocate my feelings. I asked for it. Now that weâre here, I donât want to stubbornly pursue this matter anymore and I donât blame you. The reason I came here is to say goodbye to you.â
After Cathy said that insipidly, she lifted her gaze to look into Jeremyâs eyes.
âI hope you can do proper things in your next life. Donât touch those limits that you shouldnât touch.â
âNext lifeâ¦â
Felipe started to fantasize about this word.
He looked at her and asked with a light smile, âI donât care whether I will have a next life. I just want to know if Iâll get the honor of seeing you again in my next life.â
After he said that, a long silence followed.
After a while, the children next to Cathy could not keep silent anymore.
âMommy, whatâs happening?â
âMommy, what are you and this handsome man talking about?â
When Cathy heard the childrenâs naive and untainted questions, she came back to her senses.
She saw Felipe having his eyes on the childrenâs faces. She was worried that he would detect something, so she said decisively, âI almost died because of you in this life, so if thereâs a next life, I hope to not see you again.â
Her straightforwardness was like a sharp knife that penetrated Felipeâs heart.
He looked at her, and the brim of his eyes started to get wet and red. In the end, tears started falling from his eyes.
He did not expect to cry in this kind of situation. However, he did not want to hide his emotions anymore.
He was tired.
He did not have much time either.
He did not want to pretend anymore. Back then, he had wanted to have a moment like this so he could show his weaker side to her.
Cathy did not expect Felipe to cry. In her impression, he had always been cold and heartless. It was as if the word âtearsâ had nothing to do with him at all. However, at this moment, he was crying.
Cathy did not want her emotions to be affected as well, so she said coldly, âItâs getting late and I only passed by this place coincidentally when I was on my way to send the children to daycare. Iâve said everything I needed to say.â
She said and got up to turn around decisively. Her back was turned against him when she took the hands of the children.
However, when she was about to take a step forward, she suddenly stopped.
