Chapter 192
In the capital. Madeline wake up at 8 pm to a quiet winter night. She stretched lazily, feeling warm and comfortable all over. The hot water boule in the bed had long lost in warmth, but someone had taken it out and placed it on the bedside table. She went downstairs and save Caleb and Lucas shring on the couch.
Caleb's face was cold and expressionless. But Eugene, on the other hand, was gently smiling, resting his chin on his hand. His affectionate eyes quickly fell on Madeline, and he said, "Maddie, I left you some mushroom soup to replenish your energy. "Mrs. Ziegler, bring some mushroom soup for Maddie." He commanded Caleb's housekeeper naturally, not treating himself as an outsider at all
Madeline walked over and noticed the two sitting far apart. She cleared her throat and sat between them. Good job' She silently gave herself a thumbs-up for her survival instincts.
However, Caleb and Lucas didn't let her off the hook. She knew the real test had just begun when she heard Caleb say, "Maddie, here are two gifts for you just choose the one you like."
Only then did Madeline see that there were two boxes on the table, which seemed to be ring boxes.
She instantly became alert. "Caleb. It's not a holiday today. Why are you giving me a gift? How about giving it to me next time? You all have been so good to me. I'll feel guilty accepting more gifts."
Eugene propped his chin on his hand and said gently. It's okay. It's not anything valuable, just a little trinket. Just pick the one you like. No need to feel any pressure."
Seeing Caleb's cold look on her left and Eugene's cunning smile on her right, Madeline took a deep breath and turned to Sarah "The mushroom soup smells good. I'm so hungry. Could you get me some side dishes?" she asked.
She rubbed her belly and walked toward the dining table, murmuring, "What's for dinner tonight? Is there anything I like!"
Sarah felt uneasy, thinking. "Ms. Larson, you're putting me in a tough spot by using me as a shield.
Fortunately, Caleb and Eugene didn't follow Madeline to the dining table. Sarah soon brought all the food on the table.
The weather was cold, and Madeline was indeed hungry at that moment. After having a few anouthfuls of mushroom soup, she got distracted and started playing with her phone.
Then, she saw several messages from Gavin, saying: I'm telling you, stay away from Eugene. He is not a decent person.
[He is a shameless and unreasonable man. My dear Maddie, don't fall into his trap.II
[Forget it. I'll book a flight and come over, too. Otherwise, this rascal will definitely play tricks on you. He's such a schemer!]
-Looking at the message, Madeline could already think of Gavin's expression when he sent it. She smiled and texted him back (1 don't think so.
Caleb and Lucas are here already.]
Gavin replied immediately. The strongest relationship in the world is a triangle, so as long as I come here, three people will be very peaceful. Trust me!]
Madeline shook her head and didn't reply. She put her phone aside and began to eat attentively. After the meal, she still had to face a choice..
She tugged at her collar and touched her neck. Look, does it look good? I was tired of wearing the same necklace. Now I have a new one. Isn't it a good idea?"
Madeline grinned, thinking both diamond rings were beautiful and perfect to make them a pendant.
Madeline said sincerely. "Don't you all praise my necklace?"
Eugene smiled binerly and rubbed his temples. "My beloved Madeline, it shouldn't be like that. But..." He paused slightly. "Since you like to wear it in such a way. I'll approve it as you wish" He smiled recklessly and looked extraordinarily handsome. "After all you are the head of our family."
Caleb nearly crushed the glass in his hand. He thought, Cavin was absolutely right. This man is such a shameless sweet-talker. He's indeed a tough character
He had never expected Eugene to dare to pretend to be a virtuous gentleman in front of Madeline, utterly unscrupulous. With a cracking sound, the glass in his hand split. However, Calch didn't seem to notice it. He looked indifferent and said, "Madeline, make sure you lock the door before bed tonight. Don't let others. 10 40 AM

take advantage of it. Not everyone is as innocents G
Then, he wiped the coffee on his hands with a tissue and went upstairs to the bedroom.
Eugene sat on the couch with a fan smile, holding the remote control "Madeline, watch TV with me tonight. Do you asked, a hint of scheming in his eyes. Madeline immediately knew why he wanted to watch horror movies. So she replied firmly, "No, thank you."
like horror movied?" he
But Eugene smoothly stood up and placed his hand on Madeline's shoulder to stop her. "Then, let's pick a movie together. You can watch whatever you want. You've been sleeping all afternoon. You can't be sleepy now, can you?" He narrowed his eyes and looked at her deeply. "You're not a sleepyhead, right Madeline couldn't stand his gentle tone and rubbed her arm. "No, I need to take a shower."
"Let's go together?" Eugene said with a gesture.
Madeline pursed her lips and said solemnly. "No! Lucas, you're really a little indecent. You can't go on like this. You have to restrain yourself!" Madeline turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait." Eugene held her waist from behind and put his chin on her shoulder. He spoke softly in her ear, his deep voice causing her heart to flutter. "Maddie, I've decided to marry you long ago. I've been waiting for you for so many years. I'm only indecent with you." till be
He removed his hand from her waist, pulled her back to face hirm, and placed her hand on his chest. With a clear and carmest gaze, he said. "Ill upset if you keep saying that."
Madeline hesitated and responded, "I got it, Lucas."
After Madeline left, Eugene smirked and leaned against the couch
He touched his chin and muttered, "Maddie is still very defensive. It seems these tricks aren't enough for her. He squinted his eyes and lazily propped his cheek on his hand. "Tsk. How can I catch the others off guard and win her over?" He wasn't a decent man. H
