Chapter 51. Cry

Raymond’s POV

The next words caught in my throat, and I paused.

Even though I had spoken through my lips, careful not to attract attention, I could still feel the curious gazes darted towards us.

Madison’s visage grew downcast, and she gave me a look of disbelief. A hint of guilt rose from my heart, and my brows began to furrow.

“W…Why would you say that?” Madison’s voice shook as she questioned, and her eyes turned slightly misty.

I gritted my teeth, feeling rueful. I knew, I should not have said that, but I had not been able to restrain myself.

Jealousy gripped at my heart like a dark vine, twisting and filling my heart with inexplicable thoughts.

“Madison…” I trailed off, unsure of how to complete my sentence.

Madison gave a bitter smile, one even worse than crying, “It is fine.”

Yet, her response made me even more annoyed. Couldn’t she give an explanation on her actions and at least, give a reply to my statement?
