If it was him, what identity was he using to help her repay her debt? Her husband?
However, Madeline’s expectations were soon crushed. The other party stated a name—Daniel.
Madeline called Daniel immediately. After a while, he arrived.
When Madeline told him about this, he let out a sigh of relief. “I thought something bad happened to you, Maddie. It turns out it’s about this. It’s nothing. You don’t have to put this to heart.”
“It’s not nothing.” Madeline looked at Daniel seriously. “Dan, I don’t know when I’ll be able to pay you back. Thank you so much.”
“No rush. I don’t need the money urgently.”
“I know you don’t, but—”
“If you really want to thank me, Maddie, then you can treat me to a meal. I came here with an empty stomach.” Daniel interrupted Madeline. He looked at her intensely with a gentle gaze. “I’m happy to be able to share your burdens with you.”
Madeline could detect the intimate kind of love between a man and a woman in Daniel’s eyes.
She averted her gaze abruptly and nodded. “Okay.”
Madeline just got out of prison and did not have much money. She was afraid that she would not be able to treat him to one meal.
However, Dan had thought about this and said he wanted to eat taco with hot sauce.
He was the young master of a rich and influential family and yet, he was eating taco with hot sauce on the side of the road. Madeline was feeling apologetic, but Daniel found a place to sit down carefreely. “You have no idea right, Maddie? I love taco with hot sauce, so I always ordered taco with hot sauce when I was in university.”
Despite Daniel’s explanation, Madeline also knew that the reason he did this was so that she would not break her wallet.
When Madeline thought about this, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
