Chapter 1053

In fact, Jeremy already knew who had come over when he heard the familiar footsteps.

The moment he looked back, it was indeed Madeline he saw.

This was the woman he wished he could merge with into his own blood and life.

Madeline did not even spare Jeremy a glance, however. She walked straight to the two children. With a gentle and loving smile on her face, she touched the two cute and rosy faces. “Jack, go on in with your sister. Mommy will bake a cake for both of you in a while.”

Jackson nodded obediently. He held Lillian’s fair and tender little hand with his own small hand, glancing at Jeremy before turning away.

After watching the two children enter the house, the smile on Madeline’s face gradually dissipated.

“How dare you still come to see Lillian?” Madeline mocked him sarcastically. “Have you seen it now?

Lillian can’t speak anymore. Are you satisfied with your girlfriend’s master plan?”

Jeremy did not respond to Madeline’s words. He only walked past her and gently put the small ball that was in his hand at the doorstep.

After leaving the ball, he walked off indifferently.

Madeline walked over to pick up the ball and threw it to Jeremy’s back.

The small ball was very light, but it felt as heavy as hundreds of pounds when it hit Jeremy’s back.

He stopped and heard Madeline’s approaching footsteps.

“There’s no one here now, Jeremy. Can’t you tell me now? Why on earth are you staying with Lana?”

Madeline’s tone was obviously less aggressive and had turned softer.

“I don’t believe that you can really be so unfeeling. Even if you really don’t love me anymore, you wouldn’t be so cold to the children. The more you’re being so deliberately ruthless, the more suspicious it seems.”

Madeline walked up to him and looked at the man’s cold expression, her gaze sharp. “Jeremy, answer me. If you’re facing troubles, it’d be good enough if you just blink as a response.”

After she finished her sentence, the air went silent for a bit.

After a long interval, Jeremy smiled and raised the corners of his lips. “Eveline, you asking me this means that you still miss me and are hoping for something from me, right?”

He asked her in reply, a similar mocking expression appearing on his handsome face.

“You’re already a bride-to-be who’s going to marry another man. Stop having any more fantasies about me. Instead of us torturing each other, it’d be better for us to let each other go. You go be Madam Jones and don’t bother with who I’m with.”

“Is this the truth in your heart?” Madeline asked earnestly. Her eyes were shimmering as she still held the last glimmer of hope toward him.

Jeremy looked at the pair of beautiful eyes blankly and nodded when he thought of the few remaining days he had left.

“Eveline, I really loved you.”

‘So, so much.’

Once he was done talking, he brushed past her.

Madeline smiled and chewed on what he said—‘loved’.

It was merely ‘loved’.

After returning to the car, Jeremy began to cough non-stop. The tissue he used for wiping up was dyed with a large patch of dark red blood.

His hands that held the steering wheel trembled involuntarily as well.

The poison developed by Adam was really destructive.

However, he would rather die than rely on the cigarettes given by Lana.
