Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 547

Chapter 547

Madeline asked in disbelief and looked at Jeremy carefully.

In her head at that moment, this was the man she loved but who did not love her back. In fact, he hated her.

Jeremy saw Madeline’s perturbed gaze. He held her hands and looked at her lovingly. “Linnie, don’t be afraid of me. I’ll never do anything to make you sad ever again.”

Madeline stared at Jeremy blankly, unable to believe that those words had sounded from his lips.

Not long ago, he was fierce and angry when he grabbed her by the neck and said he wanted to avenge Meredith. His icy eyes had pierced through her bones. They were like ice picks, but now…

“Jeremy, a-are you okay?” Madeline was worried.

Jeremy looked at her with a pain in his chest. “Linnie, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have believed Meredith’s lies. I’ve wronged you. I shouldn’t have broken your heart again and again.”

Madeline’s eyes lit up. “Jeremy, are you saying that you finally believe me? So you believe that I didn’t hurt Meredith?” she asked him repeatedly, and there was a strong desire to be trusted and understood in her eyes.

Jeremy felt the immense guilt in his heart again.

His heart hurt even more, but his eyes are full of warmth and determination. “Linnie, I believe you. I’ll believe every word you say in the future. Forgive my ignorance before. Please, will you let me make it up to you?”

Madeline’s eyes turned red as tears flickered in her eyes.

As she looked into Jeremy’s devout and earnest eyes, she nodded. “Okay.”

Jeremy thought he would be happy after receiving her forgiveness, but there were only ten folds of the pain and hatred in his heart.

He was hurting for Madeline and the hatred was directed at himself.

Why should she forgive him for all the pain she had endured because of him?

How much love did she have for him that she could love him without any hesitation?

Madeline’s eyes widened in surprise. Images of Jeremy treating her coldly and his disdain for her flashed in her head. It was completely opposite to the Jeremy who was standing in front of her at this moment. She frowned, saying, “But Jeremy, previously…”

“Linnie, I’ve done a lot of wrong things. I’m not in the position to ask for your forgiveness, but there are some things that I’ve kept inside for a long time that I must tell you today.”

Jeremy interrupted her and brushed her picturesque eyebrows with his warm fingertips. There were deep sadness and guilt overflowing from his eyes.

If Madeline’s memory had gone back to six years ago, then it would be as if God had given him a chance to redeem his sins in the past.

“Linnie, after I broke off with you years ago, I’ve always thought about you ever since. I’ve even tried looking for you but I could never do so.

“12 years later, I accidentally met a girl on campus. The girl slammed into my arms ignorantly. When she raised her head to apologize to me, I had butterflies in my stomach for the first time, and that girl was you.

“But I was foolish. I was so stupid that I didn’t recognize that the girl was the little Linnie I’ve promised to spend the rest of my life with. And at that time, a bad girl appeared and told me that she was little Linnie, so I was fooled…

“In order to fulfill my promise to little Linnie, I forced myself to avoid you, treat you coldly, and pretend not to like you. I even indulged the bad girl who impersonated little Linnie willfully but ended up hurting the actual person who I really loved.”
