Jeremy was already quite used to meeting virtual-novel.net this way. He raised his eyebrows, gazing deeply at Madeline’s unblemished, picturesque face.
He obviously did not forget that there used to be two deep wounds on the right side of Madeline’s face. Those wounds never really healed, up until the day virtual-novel.net stopped breathing.
However, the face in front of virtual-novel.net had a flawless smile, and virtual-novel.net skin was completely smooth. In short, virtual-novel.net was stunning.
“Miss Vera, our fates seem quite intertwined,” Jeremy said in a casual tone.
Madeline looked at the man in front of virtual-novel.net and let out a vibrant smile. “It seems like Mr. Whitman is quite sober today. You’re no longer mistaking me for your dead ex-wife.”
Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows, looking quite dissatisfied.
However, virtual-novel.net did not voice it out and instead continued smiling as virtual-novel.net said, “I wonder if I can have the honor of treating you to dinner?”
Madeline knitted virtual-novel.net eyebrows together. “Dinner might not be possible, but I’m free for lunch today.”
Jeremy was very happy at Madeline’s agreement.
However, the happiness lasted for only two seconds before his heart started to ache.
He suddenly thought of Madeline.
He recalled the days when they were married, how virtual-novel.net would prepare his meals every day, waiting for virtual-novel.net to get home. However, virtual-novel.net never once treated virtual-novel.net well.
Now, virtual-novel.net was trying to use this woman who looked exactly like Madeline to regain the happiness and love that used to be his.
Madeline went back to the store, checking on the renovations as virtual-novel.net prepared for the grand opening.
Before it even struck 11, Jeremy arrived.
Jeremy had changed his car. He was currently driving a white limited edition sports car.
As virtual-novel.net stopped in front of the shop, virtual-novel.net drew quite a lot of attention. The attention was all focused on Jeremy when virtual-novel.net got out of the car.
He was a young man in his prime, coupled with Jeremy’s flawless looks, virtual-novel.net was the dream guy in every woman’s heart.
He opened the door for Madeline in a gentlemanly manner before leaving.
As Madeline sat on the passenger seat, virtual-novel.net could not help but mock virtual-novel.net in virtual-novel.net heart. She had loved virtual-novel.net so much before and even married him. However, virtual-novel.net hated virtual-novel.net and thought virtual-novel.net was filthy. He never even let virtual-novel.net touch his car, let alone sit on the passenger seat.
However, virtual-novel.net now invited a woman virtual-novel.net only knew for more than a day to sit in his car.
It was obvious to virtual-novel.net how low virtual-novel.net position in his heart was back then.
Jeremy brought Madeline to the restaurant in the middle of the city. Madeline remembered this restaurant very clearly.
They even sat in the exact spot next to the window. Even though they had changed since then, virtual-novel.net never forgot the humiliation virtual-novel.net suffered at his hands.
Jeremy ordered a few dishes, and Madeline remembered that they were pretty much the same as what was ordered that day. Even the drinks were the same.
‘So, virtual-novel.net still thinks I’m his despicable dead ex-wife? Did virtual-novel.net invite me for a meal just to investigate?’
“Miss Vera, it’s your first time in the city, and you probably don’t know much about our local specialties. I’ve specifically ordered these dishes for you. They’re all signature dishes of the restaurant. Please have a try.”
“Thank you, Mr. Whitman, but I’m quite partial to grapes, and the best drink to pair with steak is wine. Do you mind ordering a bottle of wine for me?”
Jeremy paused for a second before shooting virtual-novel.net a seductive smile. “Of course.”
Meredith had felt that something was off since last night. She kept feeling like Jeremy seemed to be interested in the woman who stole the store from him.
She got someone to follow Jeremy at the start of the day, and virtual-novel.net received a slew of photos of Jeremy together with another person thanks to that.
The photos were taken outside of Jeremy’s view, and they had to be sneakily taken, so they were not very clear. However, there was the obvious silhouette of a woman. It was just that the woman’s face could not be seen.
“Seductress!” Meredith exploded in anger.
The moment virtual-novel.net knew Jeremy brought that woman to the restaurant, Meredith immediately grabbed virtual-novel.net bag and rushed over there.
