Chapter 194
Madeline thought the auditions would take some time and didn’t expect to receive a call informing her that she was chosen right as she left and was waiting for a taxi by the road.
She couldn’t help but smile. They were a lule too efficient. She didn’t know that in the competition among the people with connections, she had become the most powerful one.
Madeline hung up the phone and before she could get a taxi, a car stopped in front of her
Eugene rolled down the window. “Maddie baby, I found you.” He held up his phone, which showed Madeline’s Instagram account. “It’s so cold. How could Caleb bear to let you come alone for an audition so far away? If it were me, I would never let you be in the cold by the road.”
Madeline wrinkled her nose and climbed into the passenger seat. The temperature in the car was comfortable, and there was also a cup of hot coffee in the cup holder next to her seat
Eugene said. “Warm yourself up, Maddie. Your period isn’t over yet. You’ll get cramps if you get cold.”
Madeline picked up the hot drink and warmed her hands. There’s no way you remember my cycle, right?”
“Of course, I do,” he answered. Eugene’s hand was on the steering wheel, with a branded watch on his wrist and a ring on his finger, looking luxurious and unruly “After all, you’re my future wife. Of course, I have to be a qualified hushand. If you’re willing to call me hubby, my efforts
won’t be in vain
Madeline quietly lowered her head to drink her coffee,
Seeing her continue to play dumb, Eugene sighed and said, “Look here.”
Madeline turned around obediently: Eugene untied her scarf and touched her neck, his fingertips sliding along her collarbone to the ring.
Madeline trembled. “Eugene…”
“Luckily, you remembered to wear it” He waved his hand, showing the ring on his finger. “Look. I rejected all flirting from the opposite sex for you.”
Madeline pursed her lips. “It’s fine even if you don’t reject them.”
Eugene’s gaze darkened. Deep in his eyes, a small flame flickered.
It suddenly occurred to Madeline that Eugene was an extremely treacherous person. If she said something wrong, he wouldn’t be polite to her and would even go too far. She quickly coughed and changed her words. “I believe you’re a disciplined man. Even if there’s no ring, you’ll refuse all ambiguous affairs”
Eugene nodded with satisfaction. His eyes filled with malicious amusement, and he smiled. “Do you know about Wesley’s matter?”
Madeline said. “What? Didn’t Wesley go abroad? He should be busy. He’s been keeping a low profile and recuperating since getting injured before. Did something happen again!” Madeline’s heart sank as she frowned. “Did something really happen to Wesley?”
“He meta, tsk… a very troublesome woman, Karen Green Eugene rubbed his lower lip and frowned. “You definitely don’t remember her.
Madeline had never known any Karen. She asked, “Who is she?”
“She was from the orphanage.” Eugene smiled. “Now she’s staying in a sanatorium abroad. Wesley went to visit her, and now he can’t come back all of a sudden. I think he’s really good at getting himself into trouble.”
Madeline nodded blankly. “Was she Wesley’s girlfriend?‘ She didn’t ask much about Wesley’s private life as long as he was okay. Besides, it was normal for him to have a girlfriend at this age.
They
drove to a shopping mall. Eugene parked the car, and the two went to a restaurant together. Madeline followed Eugene and asked in confusion, “Are we eating out today?”
Eugene nodded. “Yeah, you passed the audition, and it’s worth celebrating. He turned around and held her hand. “We have to hold hands outside so we don’t get lost, right?”
Madeline met Eugene’s cunning eyes and pursed her lips in a smile. “Sure. Everything you say is right.”
Fugene mocked, “You seem a little dissatisfied with me.”
Madeline shook her head. “Of course not. You’re overthinking it
Chapter 194
The restaurant staff saw there were guests and greeted them. Please come in and sit. What would you like to eat?”
Eugene thought of the fact that people in Acocester were famous for their ability to eat spicy food. So Madeline, who had lived so long in Acocester. should be the same. “My wifey likes spicy food. Can you recommend some?”
Madeline froze and looked at Eugene blankly, her heart racing. “Wifey?” How could he say such nonsense so naturally!
Eugene rubbed her head. “You’re still getting embarrassed?” He took Madeline to sit in the booth and whispered in her ear. “I’ll be yours sooner or Later anyway.”
Madeline swallowed and drank some water to ease her emotions. She didn’t want to look at that wantonly handsome face again. It was difficult for her to maintain her rationality in front of him.
A hand drooped on her shoulder, and Madeline shuddered. “Eugene, eat your meal”
