Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 25

When Ava heard this, she became worried. “Madeline, Crawford, what on earth are you saying?”

“I’m serious.” Madeline smiled lightly. She looked at the azure ocean in front of her, and the beautiful memories resurfaced in her head once again.

“This is where Jeremy and I pledged our love to each other,” she said before quickly correcting herself, “Or rather, this is where my one-sided love began.”

Ava was stunned. Then, her brain registered what was going on. “So this is the place where you first met each other.”

Madeline nodded and closed her eyes. The sunlight shone down on her round but bony face. “Back then, he told me, ‘Linnie, when we grow up, I’ll take you as my bride’.”

Madline said before slowly reopening her eyes. Subsequently, tears escaped her eyes and silently rolled down her cheeks.

Ava was furious. “All men are liars! Jeremy knew how to lie to girls at such a young age; you even fell into his trap!”

“Yeah, I thought he was sincere. Not only did I think that, but I even thought that he was serious.”

“Maddie, just give up. That man is not worth your love,” Ava advised. She felt sad at the thought of how invested Madeline was in him.

However, Madeline smiled. “Ava, it has been 12 years. I can’t let him go.”

Her love for him was bone deep. It was in her every breath.

How could it be easy for her to just let him go?

“So, you’re willing to sacrifice your life for that man?”

After Ava said that, an icy gust of wind howled, and its coldness spreaded throughout Madeline’s heart.

“As long as he’s happy.”

She had lost herself ever since she fell for him when she first saw him.

“Maddie, I don’t think I’ll have the chance to give birth to the child.”

Madeline felt humiliated, and at the same time, angry for Daniel. “Dan and I are innocent. Mr. Whitman, please respect your wife and your old classmate.”

After she said that, she felt a cold air around her.

“Wife? You still remember that you’re my wife? Then why are you still talking with your old flame at my front door?”

The man’s question made Madeline weary. She did not want to explain herself anymore, but she did not want to involve Daniel in it. “Jeremy, I’ll tell you once more. For the last time, I’ve only had one man my entire life and it’s you!”

After she yelled at Jeremy hysterically, she turned around and ran back into the house.

After a while, Jeremy entered the house as well.

His face was dark, and there was a layer of ice on him.

Madeline thought that Jeremy would humiliate her again. However, he said to her in an oddly calm manner, “Madeline, let’s talk.”
