Chapter 202
It was quiet. Only the sound of snow could be heard. Madeline was sleeping soundly
Cavin took out his laptop and began writing a small program to assess how much of a threat each person in the Phantom Organization was to horn.
After processing the data, the Al confirmed it Eugene was the biggest threat with a score of 92.
Gavin tapped the keyboard. “He’s definitely my biggest rival in love.”
Meanwhile, in Eugene’s room, he was reading a book with big letters on the cover, “Caring Men are Adored“.
He stroked his chin, having read from self–improvement to cooking skills. He even made notes with a pen on the pages.
“To win a woman’s heart, you must first win over her taste buds.”
“A man should keep a low profile, becoming an important foll for a woman. He should do well both in society and at home but never overshadow
“Women are gentle and need warmth and care. Never let them feel defeated.
Eugene thought the knowledge in this book was truly excellent. He glanced at the author’s name, which was Treasure Husband“. He nodded, took out his phone, and bought all the books by this author, over 30 in total.
Despite so many books, he believed that with patience, he could fully understand what he needed to become the perfect husband.
Madeline woke up very late. She had been able to sleep more during the winter lately. When she came downstairs, as expected, she saw Gavin and Eugene sitting across from each other at the dining table. The food on the table looked like a feast
Madeline carefully looked over the table before settling into a neutral position. “You all got up early today. This weather is perfect for sleeping in, why not sleep a bit more?”
Eugene stroked his chin, thinking, “Maddie’s first words today were about sleeping in. Is she suggesting that I should join her!
Gavin held his cup, thinking, Maddie sits in the middle. It seems she treats me and Eugene the same way, I’ve spent so much time with her. That’s too disappointing
more annoyed because he found that Madeline was sitting a whole four inches closer
Gavin tightened his grip on the cup, his expression becoming m to Eugene.
Grinding his teeth, he thought, Don’t underestimate those four inches. It means she favors Eugene. Is it just because he’s such a shameless flirt? Gavin was furious
Madeline sensed the unusual tension between the two guys It was overwhelming for her. She felt like she was stuck in the middle
She thought, Luckily, there are only two of them. If the twelve guys were all here, I would be crushed under the pressure:
Just thinking about it made Madeline shiver. She quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of the scary imagination
“Madeline,” Eugene said, casually touching his finger to show off his ring, “It’s pretty cold. My hands are freezing. I’ve been weak and afraid of cold since I was a kid, always feeling chilly all over, he sighed.
Without thinking. Madeline replied. “Are you really that weak? I remember Nolan was the sickly one. You were quite strong as a kid.”
Eugene paused in shock, thinking. Did she just call me strong?
Gavin noticed the ring too. He had already seen the two rings hanging around Madeline’s neck yesterday.
Gavin pretended to be cool, but he was angry.” Im done eating Maddie, you should eat more.”
Seeing Cavin
storm upstairs with an upset face, Madeline quickly followed him. “Gavin, what’s wr
wrong!
gets grumpy so easily. Looks like I overestimated him. He’s not a threat: Eugene felt
Eugene clicked his tongue, thinking. What a sensitive kid! He gets g he had gained the upper hand.
Ten minutes later, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw a message from Gavin. [Look at you. You’ve made me angry, and now she’s got to stop rating and come cleer me up]
Eugene was speechless.

Upstairs, Madeline listened to Gavin complain about his grievance.
She sighed, “Come on, you’re a sunny boy. Don’t let things like this get you down. Besides, we’re just friends.”
Gavin pursed his lips, looking at Madeline. “I don’t care. Just throw the rings away.”
“Throw them away? That’s improper Madeline hesitated for a moment..
“Then I’ll let myself starve!”
Madeline quickly took off the necklace. “Here, take it and do whatever you want with it.” She felt so tired dealing with them. She even thought about renting a fake boyfriend just to stop them from fighting over her.
Madeline had never expected her life would become like this. It was beyond her wildest imagination.
“Since you gave it to me, I won’t throw it away, Gavin said as he took the necklace and admired the two beautiful rings. “After all, it’s a thoughtful gift from Caleb and Lucas.”
He grunted softly. “I’ll keep it safe for you, but I won’t let you wear it. Whenever we’re low on money, we can sell these rings. They should be worth something”
Madeline nodded. “As you like.
