Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88 

Those who were shameless were unstoppable. 

That was what flashed through my mind when I saw Jewel walking toward me. 

A mistress with a shred of moral conscience would avoid the wife at all costs. But nowadays, with declining social standards, here she was, brazen and 

unapologetic. 

Jewel had this air about her as if she needed to flaunt herself to prove how 

superior she was. 

“Madeline, what a coincidence! Are you having a meal here too?” Jewel said, though her eyes were me. To be precise, her gaze 

fixed on Brandon besin. hadn’t left him since she approached us. 

-I didn’t need to elaborate on how captivating this man was. Everyone turned their heads to look at him, even the elderly ladies. What happened earlier in my neighborhood was the best proof of that.

“Of course. Why else would I be here? To sightsee?” I replied curtly. I had no patience for her. 

It wasn’t that I was petty, but I couldn’t stand her shameless attitude. She could act like a b*tch while trying to maintain an innocent image. 

If she had admitted her feelings for Chris and wanted to be with him, I would’ve 

let them be. 

Instead, she opted for a more indirect approach, provoking me. As a result, her current distress was solely her own making. 

Sure enough, my harsh words made her face show a mix of hurt and embarrassment. With Chris absent, who was she putting on this act for? 

Could it be for Brandon? 

Humans possessed a degree of narcissism, which led them to believe they were the most appealing individuals. 

Jewel, with her decent looks, likely had an even higher opinion of herself. 

Especially now that she was a young widow, lacking a man and desperate to

find a good one. 

But hadn’t she already hooked up with Chris? 

Why was she still on the prowl, eyeing a better catch? Or was it that she only had a thing for any man around me? 

Despite nothing going on with Brandon, I still didn’t want Jewel to set her 

I sights on him. 

Seeing Jewel’s flirtatious look, I smirked mockingly. “Ms. Massey, are you here for their healthy menu? The food here is indeed very good, perfect for pregnant 

women like you.” 

Jewel looked chagrined, and she shot a furtive glance at Brandon. 

I laughed. It was obvious her behavior aimed to attract Brandon’s attention. 

This woman, 

while keeping Chris hooked, would flirt with any attractive man she saw. Was she hoping to play the field and choose the best option? 

It surprised me that Chris wasn’t her sole target. This discovery made me feel unexpectedly pleased. How would Chris feel if he ever found out he was just one of Jewel’s many prospects?” 

“Are you two dining with us? Please follow me.” The waiter approached.. 

“Yes, please get us a good spot,” I replied, walking away without saying another word to Jewel. 

Knowing Jewel’s intentions, I leaned closer to Brandon as we walked side by side. But I misjudged my balance and stumbled a little. 

Brandon, quick to reach, grabbed my shoulder to steady me and didn’t let go until I shrugged it off. Then he took his seat at the table the waiter had set for

Brandon never asked about Jewel. His sense of boundaries and propriety
