Madilyn was weeding the garden, but the wild thoughts in her mind were growing out of control.
After snapping out of her daze, she realized that Jonathan had agreed to stay for a meal at her place.
She couldn't help but feel excited.
Madilyn's mother had caught onto her every reaction.
Jonathan enjoyed the scrumptious meal as the dishes were particularly to his taste.
Over the course of the meal, Lorraine and Jonathan did most of the talking, with Lorraine peppering Jonathan with questions about his family.
Madilyn felt really awkward as she listened to them talk.
However, Jonathan didn't seem bothered by Lorraine's questions.
After he was done, he even praised Lorraine's cooking.
Before Jonathan left, Madilyn called out to him and said slightly sternly, “Did you eat the medicine I gave you on time?”
“Yes, I did. My stomach feels much better lately, and the usual burning sensations are almost gone.” Jonathan smiled and thanked her.
In response, Madilyn kept a cool face and asked that he go for another checkup.
Jonathan nodded and bade goodbye to her before leaving for his office.
Madilyn's lips twitched. She wanted to ask Jonathan some questions, but she didn't quite know where to begin.
She wanted to know if his depression was still acting up.
Madilyn had a feeling that Jonathan was actually quite tired, devoting all his energy to work.
Can't Mr. Farwell give him a break?
Then again, Madilyn thought Lucian might not be the reason Jonathan was overworking, as she realized that the man might be overworking to distract himself from depression.
