Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 40

Yale and Madrigal waited until nine o'clock in the evening before Zoe came back. As usual, Yale immediately prepared slippers and tea for him.

But Madrigal was not as smart as her mother. "Dad, what happened to the city construction project?"

"What?" Zoe was about to drink tea, but he put down the cup in his hand.

"Madrigal is being anxious. You know, Quarmy has been preparing for it for a long time, and Jenny has been calling Madrigal to ask about the reason, but Madrigal doesn't know how to answer her." Yale said.

Zoe sneered. "Why did Jenny ask you for the reason? The bidding is a matter of the municipal party committee. What do you, an ordinary person, know?"

Zoe was unhappy to hear Jenny's name so he said it in an impolite manner. Madrigal didn't know what to say after being asked by him. Yale quickly explained, "She may want to get some information from you..."

"The bidding is carried out in a fair and just way. If she has any questions, she can question the City Construction Bureau and the municipal party committee, she will be answered by a special person. Why did she ask you guys?"

Zoe was not a fool. He knew exactly what Jenny was up to. She liked Madrigal because of his position. Everyone knew that Mayor Jane's daughter was Quarmy's girlfriend. But three years had passed, Quarmy didn't mention the engagement with Madrigal. If he didn't come personally to talk to Jenny this time, he didn't know when they would be engaged.
