Madeleine raised her browse wryly, “Hey, did you get trapped by his handsome look?”
“Kind of…”
Madeleine said more wryly, “Oh, now you are part of those who only focus on guy’s looks.”
“Yes, indeed. I have always been. Don’t you know that?”
Madeleine was rendered speechless, “Okay, stop. Carson is so much different from me. I have been
working with him for almost three years. He showed no feelings for me before. But now his feelings
seem to pop out from nowhere. Every lady including me would be definitely scared. Why don’t you
assume that he may try to approach so as to exploit my talent only. When my talent runs out, he may
just simply dump me. Won’t you feel sorry for me if that happens?” said Madeleine with a serious face.
Ophelia was speechless.
“Madeleine, your assumption is so…” Ophelia couldn’t even figure out how to refute.
Then she continued, “I would probably be convinced if you only assumed that he approached for your
nice look and body only. But how could I believe that he approached for your talent? Come on, he owes
a company! I don’t think he would be that weird enough to do so.”
Even Madeleine deemed her own assumption too ridiculous. So she also had no idea how to make it
more reasonable.
“Okay, just stop thinking about this nonsense. Now I think that your Cupid has arrived. Before that, I
was even worried if you would remain single forever. Wow, but I have never expected that you actually
attracted such a charming guy. Now I am much more relieved.”
Madeleine refuted, “Hey, what do you mean? Did you think I attracted no guy before that?”
“Besides working and sleeping, you did nothing but to hang out with me all the time. I once tried to
make a match for you. But you refused because you deemed it easy to get a guy. So you figured out all
kinds of excuses to refuse to meet those guys I introduced to you. So do you think I can still stand by at
ease if you insist so? I felt like being your mom hoping that you could meet your Mr. Right ASAP. That
really made me worried during those days. Now I finally notice someone trying so hard to capture your
heart. Of course that relaxes me a lot.”
Madeleine showed no response.
Ophelia smiled. Before she could continue, her phone rang. She picked it up and noticed that it was a
call from Tassach.
She took a look at Madeleine, who was still driving. At this moment, Madeleine also asked, “Girl, who is
it?”
“Tassach.”
Madeleine couldn’t help frowning, “Why does he always pester you? A golden bachelor like him should
never have an affair with a married lady. Is he crazy about damaging your marriage? I just can’t
understand why those rich guys fancy playing dirty to take away someone else’s wife.”
Ophelia was speechless. She then picked up the phone, “Hello, Tassach.”
Tassach’s weak voice sounded through the line, “Ophelia, are you home?”
Ophelia replied, “Now I am with Madeleine. Perhaps I need to stay in her apartment tonight. How are
you feeling now? Are you good?”
“I am fine. Thank you for visiting me today. Can I meet you?” Tassach still asked for it after hesitating.
Ophelia frowned, “When?”
“Now.”
Ophelia frowned even more, “Tassach, stop kidding. You just went through an operation so now you
need a rest. Let’s make it another time after you discharge from the hospital.”
“Now I am standing outside your community. If you refuse, I would like to wait overnight.”
“Tassach, stop it! Get back to the hospital. You can’t get out after operation!” Ophelia was rendered
anxious. She didn’t expect that Tassach also had his unreasonable side. He actually wanted to meet
her regardless of his own health.
“Ophelia, I am waiting for you outside your community. I would like to stay for a whole night even if you
refuse to come.” After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Hearing that, Ophelia was annoyed.
“Tassach is now waiting for me outside my community regardless of his own sick body. He said he
would stay for a whole night even if I refuse.” Ophelia sighed. Then she continued, “Madeleine, make a
turn and send me home.”
Madeleine thumped on the steering wheel, “Damn! That idiot! Does he still deem himself a little kid?
How could he play such childish tricks! He is still single so it does no harm to him even if the public
know it. But you might probably be accused by the Chambers again! That man is so foolish! Just forget
about him! He only worsens your situation every time he comes to you.”
“Madeleine, no! Send me home! He got into the hospital because of gastric perforation a few days ago.
If he stays out for a whole night without seeing me, it would only do more harm to him.”
Madeleine seemed to be a bit moved. But she still insisted, “Whatever! Why should we care since he
doesn’t even care about himself?” Though she said so, she still made a turn.
Madeleine continued on their way there, “Girl, you should be harsh to a man like him, who always
pesters you. Your continuous compromise would only get him trapped. It would be hard to tackle if it
goes on like that.”
Ophelia rubbed against her own head with fingers, “Madeleine, I know. But after all, he was the first
one I loved. To be honest, I don’t have the heart to be cold to him.”
