Chapter 671
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madeline saw Felipeâs back that was facing her. His body was tall and slender, but a chilling aura spilled out from his body.
On the other hand, Jeremy was sitting on the chair calmly. His side profile appeared gentle and quiet.
A while later, Jeremy opened his mouth and said lightly, âThat is mine and Linnieâs memory. Itâs unrelated to you.â
âUnrelated?â Felipe chuckled arrogantly. âEveline is my wife now.â
The word âwifeâ pierced into Jeremyâs heart. He pressed his thin lips tightly together and looked forward silently, not refuting anything.
Seeing that Jeremy was silent, Felipe raised a corner of his thin lips and smirked deeply. âJeremy, you were the one who didnât cherish her at the beginning, so donât you ever hope to take Eveline back today. You donât deserve Eveline at all.
âStop having any hopes toward Eveline. She no longer belongs to you. You should stop being two-
faced and trying to get close to her again.â
Listening to Felipeâs shocking words, Jeremy raised his delicate eyebrows unhurriedly.
âTwo-faced?â Jeremy smiled and said with a low voice, âWhat do you mean by that?â
âStop pretending to be stupid in front of me. You agreed that youâll never disturb or pester Eveline ever again, but the truth is that you keep looking for opportunities to approach Eveline again and again. You let her know about your blindness and let her think that the reason behind your blindness is because of her. Youâre making her feel that she owes you. Thatâs why she has been reluctant to return to F Country with me for such a long time now. Isnât this what youâre wishing for?â
Madeline was surprised when she heard this.
Unexpectedly, Felipe already knew about Jeremyâs blindness.
She did not even expect that Felipe, who had always been gentle and noble, to have such a cold and hostile side.
Madeline did not know whether she should continue to eavesdrop, but as she was about to turn around, she heard Jeremyâs voice.
âOn the island that day, from the moment I handed Linnie to you, I had already made up my mind. Iâll never take the initiative to look for her or to see her again in my life.â
His voice was soft like the wind that blew past her ears, but his light and soft voice fell heavily into her heart.
Madeline stopped in her footsteps. Her eyes widened as she was stupefied.
âOn the island that day, it was Jeremy who passed me to Felipe?
âHow could it be? Didnât he leave me behind without looking back?â
âFelipe, as long as you can give Linnie happiness, Iâll be a rightful predecessor as you wish and withdraw from Linnieâs life like a dead person. Iâll fade out from her memories.â
He said this so calmly, but only he himself knew the pain in his heart.
In the next second, however, Jeremyâs tone turned sharp and aggressive.
âBut if you canât give Linnie the happiness she wants, Iâll take her back from you even if Iâm blind.â
âThen, you would be better off as a dead person. Otherwise, the next time you meet her, there might be other missing parts from your body or it might even be the people around you who will be missing something.â
Felipeâs words were obviously threatening.
Only when Madeline heard the sound of footsteps approaching the door did she then come back to her senses. She hid quickly behind the stone pillar.
Felipe did not notice Madeline and drove away.
Madeline walked to the gates again and in a glance, she saw Jeremy who was still in the courtyard.
Under the warm autumn light, he sat quietly. A layer of haze lingered around his jade-like and gentle face.
Madeline noticed him moving his lips, saying her name gently, âLinnie.â
At this moment, Madelineâs heart broke in silence.
She saw Jeremyâs cell phone that was placed on the side table. Madeline took out her cell phone expressionlessly and dialed Jeremyâs phone again.
When the phone rang, she saw Jeremyâs facial expression changing.
It was the special ringtone he had set for her. In addition to the three calls not long ago, this was the fourth call.
He was worried if Madeline was looking for him for an urgent matter, but he did not have the courage to answer it. As such, he only listened to the ringtone while his eyes became filled with loneliness.
âWhy arenât you answering my call?â Madelineâs question suddenly rang out.
