Reborn to My Engagement Night (Madelyn and Sebastian) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 There Was No Stopping Her Anymore

Wished

“You’ve already mentioned how chaotic that place is course, I won’t be going. Don’t worry. Madelyn’s smile was so bright that it lit up her face.

However, Selinstian gave her a deep, skeptical look, clearly nor believing her,

Based on his understanding of Madelyn, he knew she wouldn’t ask anything without a reason. If she asked. about something, it can be said with certainty that she had a goal in mind..

However, for this particular task, Madelyn would rathe bear the burden alone than share it with him.

Soon, the two of them finished their meal.

After carefully assisting Sebastian up the stairs, Madelyn then headed for the bathroom to take a shower.

Sitting on the couch outside, Sebastian pulled out his phone and dialed his assistant, Malcolm.

“Mrs. Lockhart might visit the black market soon. Assign some people to shadow her. Ensure she doesn’t get into any trouble. Report back to me immediately if anything comes up.” Sebastian’s voice was chilling enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

“Yes, sir.” Malcolm respectfully accepted the command,

Upon hanging up, Malcolm immediately made another phone call, conveying Sebastian’s instructions to Harriet. He asked her to send her subordinates to follow Madelyn, ensuring the latter’s safety.

“What? You want my people to protect Madelyn?” Harriet was simply astounded.

“Yes. Please act immediately,” With that, Malcolm abruptly ended the call.

At that moment, Harriet wanted to get rid of Madelyn more than anything.

Here subordinates were composed entirely of elite fighters who had undergone rigorous, professional training!

She could not believe Sebastian had instructed her subordinates to protect a mere Madelyn.

Harriet couldn’t help but curse under her breath. Whats wrong with that woman? Why would she leave the house for no good reason? She’s such a handful. That’s so annoying!

Although she was annoyed, Harriet didn’t dare to defy Sebastian’s command.

Thus, even though she was displeased, Harriet had no choice but to comply and send out her subordinates to lend a hand.

However, only two of her subordinates were assigned.

Moreover, the two selected ones were the ones that Harriet usually had the least regard for, believing them to be the most useless out of all her elite fighters.

In the end, Harriet specially instructed, “Dracon and Tigra, listen carefully. You know Mrs. Lockhart’s personality. She always likes to stand in the spotlight. So, you two must not steal her limelight. Assess the situation carefully and only intervene when absolutely necessary. Do you understand?”

“Yes, ma am! The loyal Dracon and Tigra immediately, hedded

– Furlabed

In truth, they were well aware that Harriet had always arbored feelings for Sebastian. Naturally, she had not intended for them to take protecting Madelyn seriusly.

Sending them was merely a formality, nothing more.

Dracon and the Tigra exchanged knowing glances, and neither of them took the task of protecting Madelyn to heart.

The next day. Madelyn went to class.

Throughout the entire class, Josiah fixed his gaze on Madelyn. He appeared to be extremely anxious.

After the class, Madelyn was whispering secrets to Jillian when Josiah shamelessly interrupted, “Hey, hey, hey, what secrets are you sharing? I want to hear, too.”

Madelyn fell silent and rolled her eyes before heading the restroom. Josiah casually followed behind her, feigning indifference, “What a coincidence, I was also thinking of going to the restroom.”

During lunch hour, he stuck even closer to Madelyn, almost as if he couldn’t bear to be a step away from her. It was as if he was worried that she would run off the moment he blinked.

With great enthusiasm, he offered, “Madelyn, what would you like to eat? My treat today.”

When it was time to eat, Josiah intentionally seated himself close to Madelyn. Without uttering a word, he transferred all the meat from his bowl to hers.

With a tone of concern, he said, “You’re too thin, you should eat more meat.”

After observing their interactions for some time, Jillian concluded that Josiah’s behavior was completely out of the ordinary.

Leaning closer to Tristan beside her, she began to speculate.

“What’s up with Mr. Josiah today?” she asked. “He seems off. He’s being more clingy than a band–aid, wouldn’t you say?”

Upon hearing this, Tristan covered his mouth and chuckled softly. “Can you smell the unmistakable stench of love in the air?”

“Huh?” Jillian asked, puzzled.

Suddenly, realization dawned on her. “Oh my god!” she exclaimed. “You’re not suggesting they have that kind of relationship, are you?”

Tristan merely smiled, neither confirming nor denying it.

Jillian felt a surge of shock. Without a word, she immediately gripped Madelyn and pulled her aside. She whispered, “Madelyn, you and Josiah wouldn’t happen to be in that kind of relationship, would you?”

“What kind of relationship?” Madelyn asked, puzzled.

Jillian wondered if there were any hints of romance, but she did not dare to say it aloud. All she could do was blush and mutter. “You know. The kind of relationship between a guy and a girl.7

“What? That’s impossible! You’re overthinking it. Madelyn quickly caught on and immediately denied it without any hesitation.

“Don’t forget, I still have an incredibly handsome man home”

“Oh. That’s true.” Jillian agreed thoughtfully, “I do think you and Mr. Lockhart make a better pair. As for Josiah, he’s still a bit too immature.”

Madelyn let out a sigh of relief before tapping Jillian of the head in a playful manner. “Why, you. Instead of worrying about other people’s business, you should cus on finding yourself a partner, Madelyn

teased.

“1- 1 still have plenty of time. I want to focus on my studies.” A blush swiftly spread across Jillian’s fair face. With that, Madelyn stopped the banter and headed straight for Josiah

With a smile, she confronted him. “Hey, you’ve already been following me around the entire day today”

“Have I? You must be imagining things. Josiah denied with his head held high.

Madelyn found Josiah’s demeanor amusing, yet it warmed her heart to know that he cared.

Yet, with unwavering resolve, she declared, “You don’t need to follow me anymore. I’ve made up my mind. I will most definitely go to the black market.”
