Chapter 1463

She was always imagining the scene of her reunion with Jeremy. However, she did not expect to see the man she loved and the woman impersonating her in such a situation. They had just picked the children up from school and were wandering in the busy streets happily.

Madeline felt as if her heart had been slashed open and the cold autumn wind was penetrating through it.

When she saw Jeremy and that woman holding Jackson and Lillian’s hands to cross the road, Madeline suddenly lifted her hand and rolled down the window.

“Jeremy.”

She could not help but call out his name. However, the voice that came out of her lips sounded as hoarse as the voice of a heavy smoker. At that moment, she was completely stunned.

Even so, it was as if Jeremy had sensed something or heard something. He looked in Madeline’s direction, but at that instant, Madeline shifted her gaze in a panic and quickly rolled up the window.

They were separated by the window but Madeline could feel her face heating up as if a fire was burning her face.

She could vaguely feel the gaze that she was familiar with. However, she did not dare to turn around.

The light turned green at this moment and Madeline saw Jeremy’s tall figure passing by from the corner of her eyes.

At that moment, she felt as if her body had been stabbed by something sharp. Her eyes had turned red, but she was forcing herself not to cry.

That man was right. Getting sad was the most useless thing in the world. She would only see hope and light if she faced it bravely.

Madeline arrived at the front door of Jones Manor in the cab.

After she got out of the car, she saw that the doors were tightly shut.

The wind from the late autumn kept attacking her. The wind felt as if it was seeping into her skin and the coldness was inching into her heart.

She held the urn and walked to the door before pressing the doorbell.

After a while, a maid came to open the door.

“Who are you?” The maid curiously looked at Madeline up and down. The maid thought that Madeline was someone who was terrified of the cold because she was wearing a mask with a scarf. Plus, the only thing she could see was her eyes. If she was not, then she had no reason to wrap her face up so tightly.

“Are Mr. and Mrs. Jones home?” Madeline asked.

When the maid heard Madeline’s dry and hoarse voice, the look in her eyes changed. Perhaps she did not expect a woman with such beautiful eyes to have a voice that was so unpleasant to hear.

“They’re not home. Who are you? What do you want?” The maid started to get impatient.

Madeline did not waste any time. She handed over the urn in her hand. There was also a card that she had written before she came to Glendale.

“Please hand this to Mr. and Mrs. Jones. Please tell them to restrain their grief and accept fate.”

“What? Restrain their grief?” The maid looked at Madeline with a weird look on her face.

Madeline did not say anything more. She placed the urn carefully on the shelf near the door before turning around.

However, the moment she turned around, she saw Mr. and Mrs. Jones coming back in their car from outside. When their eyes met, Madeline pondered for a few seconds before leaving.

What she wanted to say was all on the card.

After Mr. and Mrs. Jones got out of the car, they looked in the direction where Madeline had hurriedly left. “Who’s that woman? Why is she coming out of our house?”

“She looks familiar, but I can’t remember for now.”

Mr. Jones was puzzled as well. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

“I wonder what happened to Rye. He hasn’t been back in so many days. If someone exposes him, I’m worried that he’ll get into trouble again. It was so hard for me to pull the strings to change Rye’s sentence. I hope nothing will happen again.”

“It won’t. There won’t be any problems. Rye is someone who knows to do things within the norms.”

“His norms completely changed after he met Eveline.” Mr. Jones sighed helplessly. When he walked into the door and the courtyard, he saw the maid standing in a daze next to the shrubs. “What are you looking at?”

“There was a woman just now. She left this urn and card before leaving.” The maid pointed at the urn and handed the card over hurriedly.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones looked at the urn nearby and opened the card curiously.

When they saw the contents of the card, Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ visions turned black almost immediately.

They felt as if they had plunged into the bottomless sea where coldness started penetrating their bones and blood.
