Chapter 64
But then, Edward recalled seeing Madeleine in Australia; she
seemed like a different person, as if she’d learned a new trick
for playing hard to get.
So on an impulse, Edward changed his plans and came to the
amusement park to see for himself what game this woman was
playing.
“Edward, what are you thinking about?
You’ve been distracted ever since we got here.”
The pretty woman with short hair pouted, displeased.
Her name was Fiona Bell, the granddaughter of a national
furniture tycoon, and her grandfather had been subtly trying to
set them up lately, though Edward hadn’t agreed or refused.
He was never short on women; any one he took an interest in
would eventually fall for him.
That was why he was confident Madeleine was just playing
hard to get.
Chapter 64
Edward put his arm around Fiona’s and comforted her in a low
voice.
After just a few words, she immediately beamed with joy and
threw herself into Edward’s arms.
“I knew you were the best to me. Then you have to ride the
Ferris wheel with me.”
“Be good. I have some work that just came up. I’ll have
someone take you home first.”
Fiona’s smile froze.
“Didn’t we agree you’d spend the day with me?”
“My fault, my fault. It’s my bad. How about I make it up to you
double tomorrow?”
Fiona pouted. Although she was unhappy, she still said, “Alright
then. A man’s career comes first. I’ll forgive you.”
Edward chuckled and waved over the subordinate who had
been following them to take Fiona home first.
The subordinate agreed without a word, but he found it very
strange.
Chapter 64
He heard that Fiona had studied interior design since she was a
child and had even won many international design awards.
Rumor had it she was the future successor of the family
business.
Why would such a thoughtful, profound, and extremely
intelligent woman seem to lose her wits every time she saw Mr.
Carroll?
It wasn’t just Fiona; it seemed all the women around the CEO
were like that.
Even though they were shining stars in their own fields, they
became dim and dull around the CEO, as if they only shone for
him.
The subordinate thought to himself and couldn’t help but sigh
internally.
What else could you expect from their Mr. Carroll? Truly a role
model for all men.
It was cool in the lounge. The person in charge of the
amusement park came in and fussed over Madeleine, afraid
she might be uncomfortable in any way.
Chapter 64
The medical staff checked and found a small bruise on
Madeleine’s calf from the bump.
“Huh, I didn’t even notice. It doesn’t seem to hurt much.”
“It doesn’t hurt now, but it will if you touch it.” •
As Roderick spoke, he took the Herbal Bruise & Pain Relief
Ointment from the medical staff, warmed it in his palm, then
supported Madeleine’s leg with one hand and gently rubbed it
with the other.
Rubbing out the clotted blood would help it heal faster.
Madeleine felt a little awkward at first, but seeing Roderick’s
serious and focused expression, devoid of any lust, she no
longer felt embarrassed.
Kevin couldn’t be of much help on the side, so he just kept
puffing his cheeks to blow on Madeleine’s wound.
“Does it still hurt, Mommy?” .
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. Thank you, my Maddie.”
Hearing this, Roderick’s movements paused for a moment, and
he looked up at Madeleine.
Chapter 64
Madeleine immediately said to him, “Thank you too, Ricki.”
Roderick didn’t say anything, but his slightly stern face seemed
