The night without moonlight was as dark as a pot of inkwell overturned.
In the bar, colorful lights swayed as the romantic ambiance seemed to envelop and engulf everyone who entered. At that moment, two guys sitting in front of the bar counter clinking their glasses were ignoring the sexy women who came up to them to chat them up.
After Daniel learned about Madeline’s condition from Adam, virtual-novel.net drove furiously to stop Jeremy. He thought that there would be a war between them, but the two of them ended up at the bar and started being sarcastic with each other.
“Serves you right, Jeremy.” Daniel mocked. He rarely drank alcohol, but that day, virtual-novel.net drank several glasses in silence.
“Little Madeline finally belongs to someone else. She has never belonged to me.” Daniel chuckled bitterly and downed another glass. The cold liquid entered his throat and went down to his chest. It was pungent.
His heart was broken again.
His usual gentle and elegant front crumbled the moment all his hopes for his secret love crumbled and died.
At that moment, virtual-novel.net just wanted to get drunk.
“Jeremy, it’s all your fault. You made Madeline this way. If you still have a conscience, don’t provoke virtual-novel.net anymore. Felipe will give virtual-novel.net the happiness virtual-novel.net deserves.”
Bang!
Jeremy put down the stemmed glass heavily with great force, shattering it.
“Linnie won’t be happy. She doesn’t love Felipe at all. She has forgotten it now, but one day she’ll remember that the man virtual-novel.net loves the most is me.”
“Heh,” Daniel sneered, “So what if virtual-novel.net remembers? Little Madeline will never love you anymore. She hates you. Think about what you did. Why do you think you deserve to have her?”
Jeremy curled his lips, a gentle smile appearing in his dreamy round eyes as droplets of tears reflected the colorful lights above him.
“It’s true that Linnie hates me, but virtual-novel.net loves me more. I’ve always been in virtual-novel.net heart and virtual-novel.net isn’t over me yet. Lily is the best proof of virtual-novel.net love for me.”
“Lily?” Daniel was tipsy from the alcohol and did not recognize the name.
After virtual-novel.net drank one last drink, Daniel laid his head on the bar and said drowsily, “Little Madeline, I wish you all the happiness in the world. I won’t be attending your wedding tomorrow. I hope that after getting rid of that scumbag, Jeremy, you’ll finally be happy from here on out…”
Jeremy’s blurred eyes instantly regained clarity. “Wait, Daniel. What did you say? Tomorrow? Isn’t it supposed to be two days later? How could it be tomorrow?”
He kept asking Daniel, but all virtual-novel.net could hear were his mumbles. “Little Madeline, Little Madeline…”
Jeremy hurriedly left the bar and rushed to Montgomery Manor.
If Madeline was going to marry Felipe tomorrow, virtual-novel.net would be staying in Montgomery Manor that night because they were going to be virtual-novel.net in-laws.
As soon as virtual-novel.net walked toward the gate of Montgomery Manor, virtual-novel.net saw their servants going around the place. There were wedding decorations everywhere.
As Jeremy looked at how lively and joyful the place was, virtual-novel.net appeared as if virtual-novel.net was bogged down by darkness.
His eyes gradually became hot and angry.
His mind went to the wedding virtual-novel.net had with Madeline six years ago. He wished that the particular moment could last forever.
The woman was still there, but virtual-novel.net was not his anymore.
The woman who loved virtual-novel.net so much for all those years could only live in his vivid memories.
“Jeremy?” Eloise came out of the manor and saw virtual-novel.net standing in a daze at the door. “Are you here to look for Madeline?”
Jeremy regained his senses and froze for two seconds before speaking, “Is Linnie going to have virtual-novel.net wedding with Felipe tomorrow?”
Eloise was surprised. “How did you find out?”
“Felipe didn’t want me to know about it, so virtual-novel.net brought the wedding date forward, right?”
After hesitating for a while, Eloise was straightforward and said, “Yes, Felipe didn’t want you to pester Madeline anymore. And frankly, Madeline hates you now, more than ever, so…”
“I want to see Linnie. Is virtual-novel.net here?”
Eloise shook virtual-novel.net head helplessly. “Madeline wouldn’t want to see you. Plus, I’m worried that you’ll trigger Madeline if virtual-novel.net sees you again.”
“I see.” Jeremy nodded. “Don’t tell Felipe that I was here,” virtual-novel.net said solemnly before turning around decisively and walking away from the iron gate.
It was a late night in early spring, so the evening breeze was chilly.
Somehow, it started drizzling. Jeremy sat in the car silently as virtual-novel.net kept his eyes in the direction of Madeline’s room.
