Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 263

Chapter 263

His deep and seductive voice slid into her ear before landing on her heart.

Madeline did not expect Jeremy to ask such a question.

There was visible shock on her face. Despite feeling taken aback, she was still calm. "Jeremy, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Of course, I know what I'm talking about." He lowered his voice to make it sound even more alluring.

"I'll be marrying Felipe soon, so why would I like you?" Madeline said coldly, pushing him away.

However, Jeremy merely grabbed the hand that landed on his shoulder.

"Do you really not like me? Then why did you come looking for me in the hospital last night and tell me that you're worried about me?" he asked, "You were concerned about me. Plus, I don't think you like my uncle all that much," he said as his dark eyes lingered on Madeline's face. He could feel his heart skipping a beat.

Despite knowing that they were two different people, he still could not ignore this face of hers that looked exactly the same as Madeline's. Even though he knew by doing this, he would still be unable to soothe the wound in his heart.

Madeline was Madeline, and in his heart, she was not like any other. At the same time, she was his true love who he could never get back again.

After a moment of silence, Madeline took a deep breath. Then, she raised her beautiful eyes and looked into Jeremy's gaze.

"Mr. Whitman, you're an exceptional man. However, I will never like a man who could be so cruel to his ex-wife."

While looking at him, the fire of resentment was burning behind her eyes.

"Even though I look like her, I won't repeat the same choices as her."

She would not.

She would not let herself fall into this man's traps again.

The reason she came back to life was to destroy him! She was not here to ruin herself once again!

After the silence, Jeremy chuckled and asked, "Do you know what choices she made back then?" he said while letting go of her hand. He then turned his back toward her and lowered his voice. She could not replace any emotions in his voice. "Aside from her, no one would be able to go through the same things she did."

'No one would love me as much as she had. In addition, no one would be able to make me lose sleep every night like she was.'

However, Madeline did not understand what Jeremy was trying to say. She did not ask. She just felt that he looked desolate right now.

She looked at him with a cold gaze before lifting the corners of her lips.

It seemed that by playing hard to get, Jeremy had sensed that she 'liked' him.

Very good.

She wanted this.

Madeline smiled in secret. She parted her lips slowly, "Jer-"

"Maddie!"

Before Madeline could finish, she heard Ava calling her name.

She turned around and saw Ava running over along with Daniel. Why were they here?

"These two are so annoying." Madeline deliberately complained about them.

Ava ran over to Madeline and started taking breaths. "Maddie, I don't know what happened to you, but you must have lost your memory. If not, why would you still want to stay with this piece of trash?" She pointed at Jeremy and said that sentence through gritted teeth.

"If you've lost your memory and forgotten everything, I can tell you just how despicable and cruel this piece of trash is!

"In order to make Meredith happy, he humiliated and tarnished your reputation repeatedly. He hurt you so badly that you were bruised all over! He even suspected your innocence and denied that you gave birth to his child. He kept saying that child was a b*stard child and even killed it with his own hands!

"Maddie, you can't repeat the same mistakes again! Please, I'm begging you, don't stay with him. Come with me!"

Ava's eyes were red after she said that.

However, her words were like knives that sliced across Madeline's heart-it was so excruciatingly painful.
