Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 763

Chapter 763

Madeline’s eyes shone with hope at Jeremy’s response. “You remember me, Jeremy? Then why did you—”

“Felicity told me that you’re one of my crazy fans who did plastic surgery to look like Felicity just to get my attention.”

Madeline initially thought that Jeremy only said such words before to get closer to Felicity so that he could investigate the truth of her identity. She thought that he was just pretending that he did not recognize her, but his reply proved her wrong.

Madeline had no other option but to accept such was the fact as she stared into Jeremy’s cold eyes. The Jeremy before her no longer recognized her.

“I hope you’ll be more rational, miss. Feelings are not something to be forced. Even if you’ve done plastic surgery to look like Felicity, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re not the person I love,” Jeremy added.

Letting go of Madeline’s hand, he turned and left without looking back.

His cold rejection was a replica of how he used to be.

Staring at his retreating figure, Madeline spoke calmly, “I don’t know what they did to you to make you forget me and think that the person you love is Felicity, but everything I’m going to say next is the truth, Jeremy. Ever since we first met over a decade ago, the only person you’ve ever cared for is me.

“Over the past few years, we’ve both become victims of the other’s schemes and plots. You’ve made a horrible mistake once, causing our family to break apart, and for that, you’ve also knelt in front of me and apologized. I gave you the chance to make up for it. Are you really going to make the same mistake again today?”

Madeline walked toward him.

“I can tell you with certainty, Jeremy, that you’ll regret everything you’re doing and saying to me right now should you wake up one day and remember the past we shared.”

Jeremy’s footsteps halted at the word ‘regret’.

His fingers were on their way to open the door, yet they seemed to have frozen mid-air.

Realizing that Jeremy seemed to be persuaded by her words, Madeline walked to stand behind him. “You refused to believe whatever I said back then, Jeremy. Are you going to reject me again now?”

“Are you alright?” he asked caringly before he realized what was going on.

With effort, Madeline finally got onto her feet and looked up at the man who was holding her tightly. Her lips parted as she wanted to reply only for the plane to sway. Weightlessness overcame them.

Madeline could hear passengers screaming in fear outside.

Were they truly about to crash?

In a moment of panic, Madeline felt Jeremy’s arms tightening around her. His warmth and scent engulfed her. She had never felt safer despite the danger of their current crisis.

Madeline suddenly curled her lips into a smile.

She reached out to loop her arms around his waist, tightening them slowly as she pulled the man into a tight hug.
