Chapter 392 Laying Out Their Cards
Jeremiah remained silent. His dark eyes, behind the mask, were deeply fixated on her.
Raylee moved a bit closer to him.
She tiptoed, helping him to remove his mask.
This time, he didn’t refuse.
Even though she already knew he was Jeremiah, yet seeing his face with her own eyes still filled her with nervousness and
excitement,
She lifted her hand, gently caressing his face and feeling every inch of it with her palm,
His dark, thick eyebrows, deep–set black eyes, straight nose, and thin lips….
She meticulously scrutinized every feature of his face, leaving no part untouched.
The man who had died had reappeared before her, giving her a surreal feeling.
All this while, the scene of Jeremiah leaping into the river with a gunshot wound haunted her in her dreams, much like at recurring nightmare.
Even up to that day, she would occasionally dream about him.
Unexpectedly, he had transformed into another man. He was always by her side and even became the man who shared her
bed.
Indeed, art has its roots in life. Even TV dramas can’t come up with a script like this.
Unbeknownst to Raylee, tears had already started to pour down her cheeks.
ry moment, her emotions were incredibly complex.
At that very
There was excitement, sorrow, confusion, and uncertainty.
She was certain that she was deeply in love with Leonardo. Yet, when faced with Jeremiah, she wondered if her love for him would still be just as unwavering.
Jeremiah used the tip of his finger to gently wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, his voice showing a hint of choking.
You’ve dreamed of unmasking me. Now that it’s done, how do you feel? I’m no longer the enigmatic Mr. Foucault, but rather, the illegitimate son of the Lorimer family; your former fiancé who had deeply hurt you. Now that you’ve uncovered. my deepest secret, do you still love me? Can you still forgive me?”
His tone was humble, even laced with a hint of anxiety. It was clear he feared losing her love.
Despite being a proud man, he lowered himself in order to plead for her love.
Do I still love him? Why wouldn’t I? Since it’s Jeremiah, what is he not capable of? So that if he’s an illegitimate child? Does that make him any fri of a person?
He has been fond of me since we were children. The year I turned fifeen, he committed a murder to save me, which landed him in prison. He was men confined in the notorious District Nine Prison. As Lieetered on the brink of death at the graveyard, he rescued me. He nursed me back to Aralth, giving me a second chance in life. Even now, when I’m gravely ill, he leaves no stone unturned to find experimental data, researching new medications to save my life. The evidence of his love for me is just overwhelming. What reason do I have to not love him? When he saw Raylee remain silent, the anticipation in Jeremiah’s eyes gradually faded, his tone carrying a hint of dejection. “I knew it. I never could’ve faced you as my true self. How could you possibly love me when you harbor such hatred for me? I was presumptuous, and my expectations were too high. I made a mistake. I thought that by changing my identity and loving you with all my heart, I could make up for the past mistakes. No matter what, Ray–Ray, I have no regrets loving you. I beg you to stay by my side until I’ve cured your illness. Once you’ve fully recovered, I’ll give you back your freedom.
“Beg me” With teary eyes, Raylee looked at him.

“Why are you begging me? Why lower yourself to that extent? Whether you’re Jeremiah or Leonardo, you’re the man I love the most. “I’ve said it before, be it the past, present, or future, you are my husband, and that will never change!”
“Ray–Ray.” Jeremiah said, lowering his gaze, “but I’ve betrayed and deeply hurt you so many times. Whenever I think about all the things I’ve done, I can’t bring myself to meet your gaze. I feel guilty toward you, I’m sorry.”
Raylee suddenly embraced him, unable to hold back her tears.
“That’s all in the past; let’s not bring it up again. All I know is that I love you and you love me, and that’s enough. Life is so short, especially mine. To put it bluntly, I might not even see tomorrow. What’s the point of being hung up on past misunderstandings and mistakes? I don’t want to die with bitterness and resentment. All I want is to be with you. Every additional second of beautiful memories with you is a win for me.”
