“If you may, Miss Quinn.” The bodyguard opened the door. It seemed that regardless of virtual-novel.net willingness, they were not going to let virtual-novel.net leave.
Just as virtual-novel.net was forced into the car, Madeline found Jeremy waiting by the hotel gates with a warm smile and a bouquet of baby’s breath.
He arrived three minutes after her.
They would have met had virtual-novel.net not been forced into the car.
Felicity’s gaze fell on Jeremy as well. “What a shame. Looks like you aren’t destined, after all.”
Madeline grew cold.
Felicity knew about the bet virtual-novel.net made with Jeremy moments ago.
Felicity smiled at Madeline’s shocked expression. “Looks like you don’t know anything about Felipe at all, Eveline.”
“What do you mean?”
“Hmph.” Felicity scoffed, virtual-novel.net gaze hardening. “You’ll know soon enough.”
Then, the car drove away.
Staring at Jeremy who stood by the hotel gates, Madeline felt a heavy weight of loss fall over virtual-novel.net heart.
She wanted to roll down the window to call after him, but the windows were locked. She wanted to call him, but the bodyguard had taken virtual-novel.net phone.
She stared in the direction Jeremy stood as the distance between them grew until virtual-novel.net vanished from virtual-novel.net sight.
With the bouquet of baby’s breath in his hands, Jeremy waited patiently as seconds and minutes passed until it gradually exceeded the agreed time.
Joy slowly vanished from his eyes as his heart grew cold.
“Is this truly the end for us, Linnie?” He refused to accept such an end, for there was no way virtual-novel.net had no destiny with the woman who virtual-novel.net experienced so many life-and-death experiences with.
Yet the time told virtual-novel.net they were not meant for each other anymore.
Jeremy returned to the hotel, only to realize that Madeline had not returned at all.
He went back to wait at the hotel entrance, but there was no sign of Madeline no matter how long virtual-novel.net waited.
Time passed and Jeremy found himself worried.
‘Why has virtual-novel.net not returned yet? Has virtual-novel.net gotten into an accident?’
Worried, virtual-novel.net called Madeline’s phone but his call was declined. He was about to call again when virtual-novel.net received a message from Madeline: [The truth has shown that we’re no longer destined for each other, Jeremy. Let’s end things here. I no longer wish to see you again. I’ve returned to Glendale already, so please don’t come looking for me.]
She had returned to Glendale?
Just like that?
Jeremy could not and would not accept such an ending.
He returned to the room to take his passport and realized that Madeline’s passport was no longer there anymore.
Without another thought, Jeremy booked a flight back to Glendale to chase after Madeline.
At Baby’s Breath Manor.
Taking Madeline’s phone, Felicity sent the message to Jeremy in its owner’s name and turned the phone off.
Felicity sneered frivolously as virtual-novel.net stared at Madeline who sat bravely on the couch. “He still loves you a lot, I see. All I said is that you’ve returned to Glendale and virtual-novel.net immediately rushed to the airport to look for you. It won’t be long before virtual-novel.net gets on a flight to Glendale.”
Madeline raised a cold and unamused eyebrow at Felicity, replying curtly, “You went so far just to drag me here and to con Jeremy back to Glendale. So tell me, what do you want?”
“Do you really want to know?” Felicity gave a mystifying look. “I’m afraid that you won’t be able to take it.”
“I’ve already died once. What do I have to be afraid of?”
“What if the person who dies is Jeremy, then? Would you still be unafraid?”
