The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1937

Chapter 1937 Reading Into Things

In the dark of night, Jonathan's car stopped outside Madilyn's mansion.

Rapidly, he left the car and opened the door for her.

However, Madilyn disliked that. “You don't need to treat me so politely, Jonathan. I have hands, you know? I can open the door myself.”

Even though he was acting gentlemanly, it made her feel as though the distance between them had been expanded.

Jonathan smiled. “It's a habit. Ever since I was a child, my parents reminded me to mind my manners and etiquette. Since you don't like it, I won't do it again.”

“Okay!” A faint grin settled on Madilyn's countenance. “Tonight's movie was incredible! Thanks for the recommendation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known I love science fiction films!”

Honestly, she would've said she enjoyed the movie, even if it was terrible. Anything she did with him would always be romantic.

Jonathan beamed as though he had just received an award. “I'll invite you to the cinemas again if there's a new one coming out next time. Oh yeah, how has your mother been?”

Nodding, she wondered if she should invite him into her home. Mom should be asleep by now. If I let him in, it'll just be the two of us in the living room. Would that make my intentions too obvious?

Just as she was about to speak after gathering her courage and recalling her best friend's encouragement, Jonathan's phone rang.

He glanced at the device before turning to Madilyn. “I'm sorry. I need to take this call.”

After nearly two months, he had almost forgotten about Coralie.

Coralie still spoke coyly and cheerfully. “It's been a while, Jonathan. Did you miss me?”

Stunned, he wasn't sure how to answer.

“I'm just messing with you, hehe. I'll arrive at Horington by plane tomorrow. You should be able to pick me up, right? I'm here alone this time, so I'll need to rent a place. I'll be counting on you to help me out.” Her tone seemed to suggest she was simply telling him her plan instead of seeking his approval.
