Chapter 674
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Madelineâs beautiful eyes looked up a little as she glanced at Felicity who had a smile on her face.
âYouâre Ms. Walker, right? Iâve always talked like this. If you donât like the way I talk, perhaps you can choose to not listen to me. Besides, youâve said so yourself that Iâm Jeremyâs ex-wife. Since Iâm his ex-
wife, why should I be nice to my ex-in-law?â
ââ¦â
Felicity did not expect Madeline to be so witty and was speechless for a while. She could only look at her with a helpless and hurt facial expression.
Karen did not want to be embarrassed in front of Felicity and raised her hand to teach Madeline a lesson.
However, when she stretched out her hand, Jeremy said, âWhat are you trying to do?â
Felicity was expecting Madeline to get slapped and did not expect Jeremyâs prompt appearance. âMiss Montgomery, are you here to see me?â he asked Madeline.
Madeline looked at him. âYes.â
Jeremy seemed to pause before he casually said, âIf I remember correctly, you just said that we wonât ever meet again, Miss Montgomery.â
âIf I remember correctly, Mr. Whitman, you seem to have said that Iâll always be in your heart.â
ââ¦â
Upon hearing that, Jeremyâs facial expression changed. He suddenly remembered the words he uttered in the direction where Madeline had left.
âCould it be that Linnie was still there at the time?
âDid she hear what I said?â
Looking at the lively back and forth between Madeline and Jeremy, Karen and Felicity were both confused and displeased.
âJeremy, Iâve invited Ava and Dan to meet and have dinner tonight at a restaurant near Glendale University. Iâll wait for you there until ten oâclock.â
When Madeline saw Jeremy thinking deeply about it, she dropped the bomb on him and turned away before he could respond.
Karen immediately persuaded. âJeremy, you must not go! Youâve already broken up with her. Besides, Felicity will be jealous if you go.â
âJealous? Why should my doctor be jealous?â Jeremy smiled before going upstairs.
That night, Madeline and Ava were drinking in a small restaurant near Glendale University again.
Daniel sat by the side and looked at Ava from time to time.
She did not seem to remember what happened after she got drunk.
However, his memory of it was still fresh. Every night before going to bed, he could not help but think of the accidental kiss and her confession.
âDan, is there something on Avaâs face? Why do you keep staring at her?â Madeline asked on purpose.
At the same time, Daniel and Ava were taken aback by her remark.
Ava looked up curiously, meeting Danielâs slightly uneasy gaze. She then felt around her face. âDan, is there something on my face?â
âNo.â Daniel quickly denied it. âItâs just that the two of you are drinking a lot. Iâm just worried that the two of you will get drunk again.â
âYou have to enjoy a little! Sometimes itâs nice to get drunk. Come on, Maddie! Letâs have another shot!â Ava boldly took another shot.
Following Avaâs lead, Madeline drank a few more shots as well. When she glanced at the time, she noticed it was past nine oâclock and her phone had not rung yet. Jeremy had not shown up either.
For some reason, she felt a little empty inside.
Time slipped away silently, and it did not take long for Ava to get drunk again after drinking too much.
Madeline thought it was nice to be drunk. There was a saying that if the woman did not get drunk, the man had no chance. She looked at Daniel with great interest.
âDan, you can send Ava back first. I want to stay here for a little longer.â
Although Daniel wanted to do that very badly, he was worried about Madeline being alone after getting drunk.
However, Madeline insisted. As such, he had no choice but to take Ava back first.
Madeline sat there alone, drinking until it was ten oâclock.
After looking at her silent phone, she slowly walked out of the restaurant.
It was drizzling, and the cold chill that accompanied the night sky blew past her.
Suddenly, people in twos and threes hurried past. When Madeline looked over by chance, she heard them say, âThereâs a car accident ahead!â
âWas the man blind? The car ran straight to him!â
âThat sounds horrible. He wonât be able to survive after losing that much blood.â
Madelineâs heart jumped when she heard that.
The man who was hit was blind?
âJeremy?â The name popped up in her head. She turned around in a panic and ran to the scene of the car accident while braving the rain.
