Margaret had just fed Dalton some milk. He looked drowsy as he happily leaned on Madelyn's shoulder.
Upon noticing that Dalton was sleepy, Madelyn took out a shopping card, that she had not used for a long time, from her wallet and handed it to Mya, "He gave me this shopping card, and | rarely use it." Mya waved her hand to reject it, "No need. Actually, | came out with you this time to relax with you. Moreover, you've already made me very happy by buying all these beautiful clothes for me." At the entrance, Mya tiptoed and hugged Madelyn lightly, "If you miss me, just call me and I'll come to be with you right away." Madelyn responded, "Sure. I've already arranged a car for you. Send me a text when you're home." Mya let go of her and nodded, "Okay." The bodyguards put the stuff in the trunk. Mya then got in the car and left. Just when Madelyn was about to leave too, a luxury Rolls-Royce pulled up next to her.
Before Kevin could get out of the car to open the door for Zach, Zach had already gotten out of the car.
Madelyn thought, ‘Zach knew | was shopping at the mall. But | didn't think he'd still come over at this hour." Zach took Dalton from Madelyn's arms, "Why didn't you call me when you wanted to go home?" Madelyn coldly looked at him, "I didn't want to disturb you. Let's go back now." Her words and tone sounded distant.
At that moment, a girl in a mini skirt got out of a taxi not far away, "Mr. Jar..." She did not say the latter part of Zach's last name, as she noticed Madelyn beside him. She was blown away by how elegant Madelyn looked, with a sort of otherworldly beauty.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKevin noticed the girl too. He was anxious as he thought, ‘Oh no, why'd she follow us?" He then nervously looked at Madelyn, but it seemed like Madelyn had not noticed the girl.
After working for Zach for so long, Kevin knew how to handle certain situations. When he was about to get out of the car to handle the situation, he saw Melanie walking very quickly toward Zach. Kevin began to worry.
Melanie stood below the steps and looked up, "Mr. Jardin..." Her voice was clear, soft, and with a hint of caution.
Margaret thought, "Oh my goodness, what's going on? What's happening? Who's this?!" Madelyn coldly looked away and silently tried to leave. However, at that moment, Zach held her waist and did not let her go.
Melanie, with unexpected courage, lifted the handbag in her hand and said, "Mr. Jardin, I'm sorry for disturbing you. This is the suit you left with me last time. There's some jewelry too. The gifts are too expensive. | can't accept them. Please take them back." Melanie was indeed rash and completely unaware of the chilliness emanating from Zach. He said, "Ignorant fool." His tone was cold and emotionless.
As the atmosphere grew tense, Melanie looked wronged and was about to cry.
Zach said, "Kevin!" Kevin immediately stepped forward, "Mr. Jardin, don't worry. I'll handle this right away." Zach walked to the car with Dalton in his arms and opened the door of the front passenger seat. Madelyn bent down to sit in the car.
Melanie stood there completely stunned as she watched Zach walk away. She did not know what to do.
Kevin said, "Ms. Bunton, you should have been more aware of the circumstances and known what you should and shouldn't do.
Ms. Jent was even standing here just now. | can no longer help you. According to our previous agreement, we'll withdraw all our support for you." The last sentence put Melanie in an uncomfortable situation.
She responded, "It's not like that. | didn't have any bad intentions. | just wanted to return the things to Mr. Jardin. | didn't know..." Kevin squinted. He was unhappy with her, "You had a chance just now. Now that you've made the situation so awkward, do you think you can continue to stay in Ventropolis? "You! Watch out for yourself." To Kevin, Mya was already very foolish, but he had not expected someone could ever act as foolishly as Melanie had.
Kevin returned to the car and drove toward Southern Haven Villas. There were several black cars with bodyguards inside following behind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was quiet inside the car. Madelyn stared out of the car window. And after a while, she could feel her hand being held.
"Actually, there's nothing between me and her." Madelyn calmly withdrew her hand, "Okay." Her response was nonchalant.
Zach replied, "If you want to go shopping, I'll accompany you." Madelyn responded, "It's fine. The weather's too cold. | won't go out again for now. You can focus on your matters. You don't need to care about me." She rejected him completely.
Perhaps Madelyn was used to never asking for anything from Zach.
She thought, "Whether it was in my previous life or this life, Zach has never changed. He has countless women around him. The only feeling he has for me is possessiveness. He doesn't truly like me.
"He constantly tells lies just to keep me by his side. He's never changed. He makes me feel disgusted and numb..." On the way back, Madelyn did not say a word to him again.
Dalton was becoming more and more attached to Madelyn. When they arrived at Southern Haven Villas, as soon as the car stopped, Madelyn carried Dalton and got out of the car without waiting for Zach. When she walked into the villa, a maid immediately welcomed her. The maid was holding a plate of pastries as she said, "Mrs. Jardin, the macarons you wanted are ready..."
