Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1996

CHAPTER 1996 KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU

It was getting late, and regardless of how impatient Madilyn was, she couldn't disturb a pregnant woman's rest at that hour, so she decided to wait until tomorrow.

As the night grew darker and the coldness began to set in, Jonathan quickly took off his coat and draped it over Madilyn.

“Do you feel cold? Should I take you home now?” Jonathan uttered in an undertone.

Only then did he realize that Madilyn was already dozing off. He flashed a faint smile and changed his posture.

“Let me carry you,” Jonathan said. Without waiting for her to agree, he immediately scooped up her petite body and headed toward the car.

Madilyn was indeed tuckered out. After being carried into the car amidst her drowsiness, she felt warmth enveloping her, brought about by a blanket that appeared out of nowhere.

She could sense Jonathan tidying things up around her in her groggy state, and a sense of security washed over her, allowing her to drift off to sleep.

After an uncertain amount of time, Jonathan softly called out. “Maddy, Maddy. We're home.”

Madilyn gradually woke up, feeling a little lightheaded. However, the moment she heard that affectionate term of endearment, she sobered up in a flash and grinned at him. I'm officially Jonathan's girlfriend now.

“Why did you bring me home?” All of a sudden, she felt reluctant to part with the man, wanting to spend more time with him.

“Well, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to go directly to a hotel, right?” A hint of passion gleamed in Jonathan's eyes, prompting Madilyn to feel flustered.

No way. That would indeed be inappropriate.

Still, she managed to think of a way to phrase her thoughts. She pouted and said, “I meant I'm hungry.”

“All right. Let's go have some supper, then,” Jonathan responded decisively, restarting the car and turning the vehicle around.

Madilyn got up from the back seat and climbed into the front passenger seat, giggling. “From today onward, this car's passenger seat is exclusively reserved for me.”

“No problem. From now on, this car will only pick you up. Oh, and Mdm. Xander as well.” Jonathan's voice was deep and magnetic, sounding particularly pleasant.

The joy that had settled in Madilyn's heart once again surged.

Early the next day, Roxanne was woken up by a phone call from her best friend.

Listening to her best friend recounting Jonathan's confession last night, Roxanne also found it incredible. However, at the same time, she felt genuinely happy for them upon finding out they had finally confirmed their relationship.

In the end, Madilyn hesitated for a while before mentioning the purple wishing bottle.

“Jonathan and I are just curious. You can just ask him about this matter casually. It's been more than a decade, and with how outstanding Lucian was, he must have charmed a lot of girls during that time, so this isn't at all surprising! Anyway, I hope I won't cause any conflicts between you two by telling you this. Ah! I shouldn't have mentioned anything. Look at me, always poking my nose into others' business. Don't let this sow any discord between you and Lucian after all you've been through to be together.”

Regret churned within Madilyn's chest after she finished telling Roxanne about everything. Some things should be kept a secret forever. So many years have passed. Perhaps Lucian has already forgotten about it.

Unexpectedly, Roxanne burst into laughter.

“Roxanne, why are you laughing? Be serious. I really don't want to see Elektra's incident repeat itself. Lucian is too outstanding, so you must always keep your wits about you,” Madilyn reminded sternly.

However, Roxanne continued giggling and finally stopped after being yelled at by Madilyn.

Subsequently, Roxanne replied nonchalantly, “About that... Will you believe me if I tell you that purple wishing bottle belonged to me?”
