‘Did I do it with him?’Madeline felt her ears heat up. Suddenly, she saw a suspicious mark on her neck when she looked into the mirror.After she finished cleaning herself up, she saw a note that Jeremy left. There was only a simple sentence: [Linnie, I’m going to send Jack to school. You can stay here and sleep for a bit.]He did not mention anything about last night and sounded natural.Madeline looked at the note Jeremy left and started spacing out.She looked at his neat handwriting and suddenly, she remembered the confession she saw on the notebook in the restaurant near Glendale University. [Madeline Crawford, I like you.]Now, Madeline realized that Jeremy was the one who left the anonymous note.He had already taken a liking to her when she was in her first year.However, he hid his fondness toward her.When Meredith impersonated her, he could only stop himself from pursuing her because of the promise he made in his childhood.Madeline left the hotel, and when she st

Felipe was looking at the time on his watch when he heard Madeline say that to him.He turned around to look at her in disbelief. “Eveline?”Madeline rode her horse closer to him and smiled softly. “It’s decided, then. We’ll go back to F Country next week with Lily so that we can live a happy life with just the three of us.”Felipe was obviously taken aback by Madeline’s answer.She was agreeing to go back to F Country with him.The three of them.That statement went to the deepest part of his heart.However...He watched as she rode away with her horse, and his expression changed. After that, he quickly took out his phone and called a number, but the person on the other end did not pick up.Felipe did not hesitate before calling Cathy.After Cathy received his call, she knew that Felipe wanted her to do something for him. Even though she was curious, she still did it.Madeline rode into the distance with her horse.She recalled the events that happened over the past few da

Felipe’s eyes glinted, and when he was about to say something, Madeline quickly walked over from behind him.Jeremy looked at Madeline. “Linnie…”Slap!Madeline slapped Jeremy heavily across the face.Jeremy’s face was turned to the side from the slap and the excruciating pain crept into his heart.Madeline glared at Jeremy with tears in her eyes. She was biting her lip tightly. “Even if you didn’t want to kill Lily, she still went missing under your care. You won’t be able to get away from this responsibility no matter what you say!”Her eyes looked pained. “Jeremy, why do you have to make me hate you?” Madeline said before turning around. Then, Felipe chased behind her.Jeremy did not even get to see Lilian for the last time before she was brought into the car.After a while, everything around him plunged into silence. Jeremy stood there alone while stuck in a daze.He had not protected the woman he loved back then and caused her to die in his arms. Today, he made the same f

She lifted her hand to touch her stomach. Then, a pleased smile blossomed on her face.After Cathy left, Felipe picked up the colorful shell that he had been keeping for years.“Eveline.”He called out to Madeline’s name as a cheeky face appeared in his mind.He would not forget how a ray of light had appeared in his dark life after he met her by the beach.“I won’t let you go back to Jeremy again. You’re mine.”He held the shell as a wave of emotions appeared in his eyes.That day, the reason he said he wanted to bring Madeline to clear her head in the equine park was to prevent her from having any contact with the outside world so that his plan would carry out smoothly.He knew he could not hide the fact that he had drugged Madeline, so he needed to admit it.He also knew that Madeline would not want to go back to F Country with him as he could sense that she started to develop feelings for Jeremy again. That was why he planned to create a conflict between Madeline and Jerem

Time passed and the sky started to turn grey. Then, it started drizzling.Jeremy could not wait. He got out of the car and was about to barge in when he saw Cathy walking toward him with an umbrella.Jeremy remembered Cathy because she was the one who had shown him directions the last time.His instinct told him that Cathy was someone he could trust.Cathy walked in front of him and advised him, saying, “Mr. Whitman, you should go. Evie doesn’t want to see you.”“I have to see her. I have something important to tell her.” Jeremy insisted, his gaze unflinching. “Tell her that I’ll wait for her here until she wants to see me.”Cathy frowned as she found this difficult to manage. When she saw the resolution in Jeremy’s eyes, she felt so envious and heartbroken at the same time.“Mr. Whitman, Evie really doesn’t want to see you. She won’t want to see you even if you wait here until nightfall.”“Then I shall wait until nightfall.” Jeremy insisted. He lifted his head to look at the l
