Chapter 99
“Maddie, I have been missing you since you left us. I know it wouldn’t change anything, but I didn’t use you at all. I just missed you very much, so I came to see you.
Lucas had always been firm and unyielding. He was tough with limited abilities but had a strong temper,
He was a little arrogant.
Now, he bent his back slightly and reached out to pull Madeline’s arm. “Maddie, I’m really sorry! Please give me a chance. Don’t be so cold to me. I really feel bad.
Madeline turned sideways slightly and avoided Lucas‘ touch with a hint of disdain. “Stop pretending. If the Larson family hadn’t been in a bad situation now, you wouldn’t have come to me humbly. Do we have any feelings between us? Never. So don’t ever pretend to be with me. Just seeing you makes me feel disgusted.”
Lucas‘ pupils shrank slightly. A sense of numbness was transmitted from the painful heart to his whole body even the tips of his fingers were crisp and numb
He never thought that the timid Madeline, who used to follow behind him and silently accompanied him through every night in the game without ever receiving his care, would now treat him with disdain, almost like trash.
For Lucas, it was painful and depressing
His eyes suddenly turned red. I’m not. I never… Maddie, I swear my life that I have never used you.”
Madeline sneered. “Your life is worthless. Don’t swear in front of me. Well, if you’re bored and want to keep acting here, go ahead. I’m busy and don’t have time to deal with you.”
Yohannes held Madeline’s shoulder and took her to his left hand. He stood on the side near Lucas.
His voice was extremely cold. “A person like you doesn’t deserve to appear in front of Maddie. Get out of here!”
Who are you? Why did you say y that to me?” Lucas‘ anger flared. “You’re just an outsider. Do you even know my relationship with Maddie? We are the closest family. No matter how deep our misunderstanding is, we share the same blood.”
Yohannes lowered his head and smiled. His shoulders were trembling. “Haha… This is the biggest joke I’ve heard today, Bloodline? Do you know who was there for Maddie when she needed help? It was me. We have no family link, but I am her best brother.
Yohannes straightened up and looked at Lucas coldly. “Outsider? You’re the outsider.”
Madeline looked at Yohannes in surprise.
Aren’t they unfamiliar?
Lucas clenched his fists. “Maddie, would you rather believe such an outsider than go home with me?”
“Yes.” Madeline did not hesitate. “He cares for me, while you only hurt me.”
Lucas‘ eyes burned with jealousy, wishing he could tear the pretty boy apart.
“This person has deceived Maddie so much. And Maddie humiliated me in public for an outsider. We are real siblings
“What kind of brother is he to you? Is he related to you by blood?”
Madeline did not expect Lucas would say something she had been thinking about day and night
“What about Winslet What kind of sister is she to you? Is she related to you by blood? You pushed me to the brink because of her, and now you’re talking about blood relations?”
Lucas was stunned.
Remembering the past incidents, they were now tragically repeating to him.
“Yeah. It turns out that I was misunderstood and despised. Did this kind of thing often happen to Maddie before?”
His throat was full of bitterness. I’m sorry…
Chapter 99
Madeline shook her head. Her last bit of patience disappeared, and she became very indifferent.
“We’re leaving. Yohannes, let’s go.”
Yohannes glanced sideways. It was the first time Madeline called his name after they met.
He stretched out his hand and pushed Lucas aside. “Get out of my way,” he said in a light, cheerful tone.
Madeline was silent the whole time.
Yohannes noticed her emotions and did not ask more questions.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Yohannes walked toward his car. He looked back at Madeline. “If they dare to harass you again, just tell me on WhatsApp
Madeline gave a nod in response. “Okay. Drive safely and take care.”
Yohannes nodded. Their relationship was not worth a step further.
They had a long time ahead of them.
“TI get back to you as soon as possible. After all, it’s a script you recommended. Choose a role, and then consider a suggestion fee.”
Madeline raised her eyebrows. “Suggestion fee? That’s starting to sound valuable.”
Seeing Yohannes driving away, she stood aside and waved her hand with a faint smile.
Yohannes saw Madeline standing there for a long time through the rearview mirror. He felt heavy–hearted and could not say much Could a broken mirror be joined together? It was not that easy.
But he was ve
was very patient and would like to take it slow,
It would happen eventually… sooner or later.
