Chapter 549
As he called out her name, the tenderness in Madeline’s beautiful eyes disappeared in an instant and was replaced with a thorny edge.
“It’s you?” She looked at Jeremy with a solemn expression and uncertainty in her eyes. “Where is this place? Why did you bring me here?”
When Jeremy heard what she said, he instantly understood that Madeline had switched her identity—the identity that did not have him in her memories.
It was obvious that this identity of hers did not have the memories of her previous identity. Otherwise, she would not look at him so coldly.
If she had them, she would remember that they had been getting along very well for the past two days.
Jeremy’s short-lived joy was like the fireworks blooming in the sky. After the explosion, there was only icy coldness left.
In a daze, Madeline broke free of his hands, turned, and walked away.
Jeremy returned to his senses and hurried to catch up with her. “Linnie, where are you going?”
“Don’t call me that. We’re not that close,” Madeline replied indifferently without turning around.
The place was crowded and Jeremy was afraid that he would lose Madeline again, so he decisively pulled her back. “Linnie, don’t go.”
Madeline, who was held back by him, glared at Jeremy with displeasure. “If Felipe’s still your uncle, you should respect me as your aunt.”
When she mentioned that, the gentleness in Jeremy’s eyes turned into possessiveness. “You’re not my aunt. You’re my wife. You’re my woman.”
“Heh.” Madeline chuckled. “You’re being ridiculous. I don’t even know you.”
She shoved his hand away again with annoyance.
However, when Madeline looked around, she looked troubled.
‘Where is this place?’
It felt as if Felipe was her savior, the man who made her feel safe.
Jeremy looked at him, his gaze meeting Felipe’s that always seemed to be gentle and smiling. “You know very well whether what I just said is the truth or not. Linnie will recover and realize the truth one day.”
“The truth?” Felipe chuckled. “The truth is that you’ve hurt her with exceptional cruelty. The truth is that she hates you.”
The two points that Felipe made were indeed true and Jeremy did not want to deny it.
However, when he saw the bookmark just now, he was sure that Madeline still cared for him deep down.
Otherwise, she would have thrown the bookmark out a long time ago so that she would break off all ties with him.
“Vera, let’s go.” Felipe turned around and took Madeline’s hand. “You’ve been missing for two days and your parents have been very worried about you.”
‘Two days?’
