Chapter 205
As she laughed, she started stumbling, half her body leaning
against Roderick.
“Did you see it? Jason’s face, oh my god…”
“I’m coming to the office tomorrow, haha. I have to see how
Jason cleans the toilets. I need to take a couple of pictures.”
Roderick was smiling. Seeing the tears of laughter in her eyes,
he pulled out a tissue and wiped them for her.
Once Madeleine caught her breath, she looked at the bento box
Roderick had put on the table.
She leaned over, took the half fried egg from the top, and
placed it on the lid.
“Hurry up and eat, it’s getting cold. You haven’t been eating
properly lately. Don’t come whimpering to me when your
stomach hurts again.”
Roderick’s eyes were fixed on the fried egg. He knew she was
doing this out of concern, not wanting him to eat it, and he
couldn’t help but smile.

After hearing her words, he frowned.
“When did I ever whimper?”
“You haven’t? When we were kids and we fought, you scraped
your skin a little and looked at me with teary eyes. I still
remember that.”
Roderick was silent for a moment, then finally said after a while:
“Madeleine, is it possible that I was just playing the victim to get
your sympathy back then?”
“Huh… what?”
Madeleine’s jaw nearly hit the floor.
Seriously, what kind of decent person plays the victim like that!
At the time, she was so scared Roderick would go tell his
parents that she kept covering his mouth to stop him from
crying.
And now he’s telling her he was just playing the victim?
!
God, is there any way to go back in time and tell that little boy

named Roderick that he was setting a bad example…
Roderick just smiled without a word and picked up his food to
continue eating.
Kirsten’s cooking was reliably delicious, same as usual, but
maybe because Madeleine brought it today.
It tasted especially good to him.
If it wasn’t too tiring for her, he really wished he could eat food
she brought him by hand every day.
“Have some water.”
Seeing Roderick finish his meal, Madeleine handed him a glass
of water and asked him with a serious expression, resting her
chin on her hand:
“When did you do all this? How come I didn’t know?”
“Hmm?”
Roderick took a sip of water, not understanding for a moment.
“The stuff with the Klein family. You never mentioned it to me.”
“Did I need to?”

Roderick raised an eyebrow with a smug look.
“From the moment you told me how Jason bullied you, I’ve
been planning how to destroy him.”
Hearing this, Madeleine felt both sweet and bitter.
The sweetness was from feeling Roderick’s love so completely.
The bitterness was her regret that this man loved her so deeply,
but she was only now able to return his love.
She blinked, trying to keep her tears from welling up. Then she thought of something and quickly sat up straight.
“Wait, for you to go against The Klein group, the Livingston
Group must have paid a heavy price, right?”
She frowned. “The Klein Family still has some weight, after all.
What did you trade with the banks and investment firms?”
Roderick put down his glass of water and said casually, “It’s
nothing. Everything is under control.”
“Stop lying to me. Spit it out.”
“Hmm… just some trading of favors. It’s completely normal in business, don’t worry.”

He ruffled Madeleine’s hair. “Compared to you getting hurt,
nothing else matters.”
Madeleine was speechless.
This man loved her even more than she had imagined.
She couldn’t help but bury herself in Roderick’s arms. Madeleine
sniffled, the tears she’d been holding back finally spilling out.
