Chapter 788

Her heart was in pain, but her expression was indifferent and even dismissive.

‘It’s pretty good.

‘To have him hear this, it’s pretty good.’

“Jeremy, did you hear that? Did you see it? This is the true face of Eveline Montgomery! She deliberately approached you just to get revenge! Jeremy, be a little clear-headed. Don’t be fooled by this woman again!” Karen yelled at Jeremy angrily and anxiously.

Madeline stepped forward unhurriedly and continued walking downstairs.

When she passed by Jeremy, she paused. “Jeremy, I—”

“I know, you were just pissing my mom off on purpose,” he said while smiling faintly, handing the baby’s breath to her. “Linnie, this is for you. I bought them from the flower shop I passed by when I came back.”

Madeline looked at the flower bouquet he handed over and her heart hurt more.

“Are you heading out? Where to? I’ll send you there.”

“No need.” Madeline opened her lips impassively, her gaze even more contemptuous. “I’m going to look for your Uncle Felipe now. Do you want to follow me? What for? To see me romancing him?”

“…” Jeremy looked at Madeline dumbfoundedly. “Linnie, don’t joke with me like this.”

“I’m not joking with you. What I said to your mom just now is all true.” Madeline chuckled. “I’m lying to you, silly. My love for you disappeared as early as four years ago. I married you just to piss Felicity off, got it?” Madeline said brightly with a smile before turning around aloofly.

However, as soon as she turned around, the rim of her eyes turned red uncontrollably.

Just as she walked to the garage, Jeremy chased after her.

He held her with a nervous expression, his eyes full of confusion. “Did something happen? Linnie, tell me. There’s no way you don’t love me. If you don’t love me, yesterday night, you wouldn’t have—”

“I was just in a moment of confusion last night, so don’t take it seriously.” Madeline pushed Jeremy away who was blocking her and knocked the flower bouquet in his hand to the ground.

“Jeremy, what you said to me back then, I’ll return them to you. If I’ve loved a man like you once, I’ll never love you a second time. That’s because you’re not worthy.”

Madeline got into the car on her own and left quickly.

The car tires ran over the baby’s breath that had fallen to the ground, leaving a bewildered Jeremy behind.

Madeline’s words were like ice cones, stabbing his heart harshly.

How could it be?

He could not believe that what happened just now was real.

She obviously cared so much about him during this time. She had embraced him sweetly last night, but now…

Madeline drove the car, looking at the man who was in a daze through the rear-view mirror as tears slipped quietly from her eyes.

She gripped the steering wheel tightly and slammed on the accelerator.

Madeline arrived at Felipe’s villa in no time.

Unlike yesterday, he had returned to his usual calm, elegant, and noble appearance.

He seemed to have expected Madeline’s arrival. His deep smile was paradoxical. “Eveline, I knew you’d come, so I’ve already prepared a gift for you to enjoy.”

He smiled and turned on the computer again…
