Madison looked out of the window of his car and saw the familiar mansion in the distance. "Thanks for taking me back, Dexter," she whispered appreciatively, looking at him.Dexter softly remarked and smiled at her, "It's nothing, Madison. Remember, we are just here if you need anything."Madison thanked Dexter once more through the car window as she exited, saying, "My tutor will be here, so I'll see you on Monday. Be careful driving." She stepped back and waved at him before walking through the gate.Madison thanked Mila for opening the gate for her and entered right away. She then observed that the car Dylan had driven earlier was parked in the garage. For a moment, she was relieved that she did not believe the words Dylan had said to her. Earlier, she wanted to listen to her emotions, turn back and choose him. However, in the end, her reason won out.The door abruptly opened as Madison was about to enter, revealing Dylan. Madison halted in her steps and gazed at him for a moment,
After speaking with Madison about their misunderstanding, Dylan finally breathed a sigh of relief. With relief came a surge of happiness as he saw her smiling and joking with him just like before. All he had to do now was to confront Scarlett. Perhaps that was why Scarlett kept warning him that she would do something to Madison. It was because she was planning something. "I'm leaving first, darling. I'll take care of something, and I'll be right back," he said goodbye to Madison but was still reluctant to leave."All right, but I might be busy later. I'll have to review my lessons, Mr. Carter. We have a test on Monday, and I don't want to fail," Madison replied, making him pinch her cheek because of her cuteness. After he did so, Madison looked so shy. "I'll help you review when I come back. I'll also buy something to eat. You don't have a class tomorrow, right?" Dylan asked, and Madison nodded and smiled at him."I want ice cream, Mr. Carter," she said coquettishly, and her eyes w
Madison had to wake up early for work. But as soon as she opened her eyes, she shrieked upon seeing an unfamiliar room. Dylan, lying on the couch, jerked upon hearing Madison's scream. His worried face greeted her freaked-out loo. It was only then that Madison remembered why she was not in her room. She watched television with Dylan, who helped her review her notes in his room last night."Hey, are you okay? What happened? Why did you shout?" Dylan asked, eyes scanning the room as though looking for a thief. "Sorry about that, Sir Dylan," Madison apologized with a sheepish smile. "I didn't immediately realize I was in your room."Dylan threw his back on the bed in relief. "Oh, Darling, I thought something bad happened to you," he said and covered his worried face with his right arm. Madison's eyes widened upon seeing Dylan's half-naked and toned body in front of her.Just as he thought he could fall back to sleep for a few more minutes, Dylan was startled again when Madison squealed
Madison could not help but glance at Dylan and Scarlett from upstairs from time to time. While Madison was busy being a housemaid, endless conversation and laughter filled the living room. How Dylan and Scarlett talked could make anyone mistake them for getting back as couples."Jeez! Has it been a year since they saw each other?" Madison mumbled in annoyance. She turned around to focus on her job when she heard a faint laugh."Look who's getting jealous," Emily teased and pointed at Madison. The former even nudged the latter.Rolling her eyes at Emily's nonsense, Madison retorted, "Jealous? I don't need to be." Madison moved the vacuum cleaner to distance herself from Emily. But Emily moved closer and stared at Madison as if confirming something. "Come on, Madi, that's jealousy. Have you fallen in love with Sir Dylan?" "Stop with your nonsense, Emily," Madison replied as she shook her head and explained, "I haven't fallen in love with him." Emily grinned. "Really?" she teased. "Th
When Marco returned from the flower shop, Scarlett was at the mansion's gate. She said that she came to apologize to Madison personally. Dylan knew his ex-girlfriend's presence would make Madison upset. But Scarlett was pregnant and drove to the mansion to apologize, so Dylan welcomed him inside.It did not take Dylan an hour since he left after breakfast. But he could not help but smile when he entered the gate and saw Madison like she had been away from him for years. Unlike him, Madison's face was dim when she turned to them and saw the woman beside Dylan. Her arched eyebrow screamed displeasure. But Dylan reckoned Scarlett would not do anything wrong since he had already talked to her. When Scarlett apologized to Madison, Dylan noticed that the latter was hesitant to forgive. He understood it, and he wanted to validate it. But Madison eventually forgave Scarlett, making Dylan admire the kindness of the woman he now loved.Madison had a lot of work to do, so she left Dylan with Sc
As the days passed quickly, the day of the acceleration test drew near. In a few months, Madison would have to take the exam to be fully admitted into the university she was attending. However, because the institution was still awaiting the results of Madison's acceleration test, her official admission was now on hold.Every day, Dylan assisted Madison in reviewing her studies and patiently explained the concepts she had trouble understanding. He also practiced with her, which helped her comprehend the Italian language more effectively. Like today, Dylan was at her side as she went over her readings in the garden. He had to study multiple contracts, and it was difficult for him to grasp the ins and outs of their business. Still, Dylan was incredibly patient with Madison as he explained things to her. Dylan had kept his promise and never seen Scarlett again since Madison got angry at him. And every time Dylan received a call from Scarlett, he would cancel it and even shut off his phon
It was early morning, and she and Dylan had almost arrived at her hometown. Madison occasionally slept during their journey because she was so excited to see her family and wanted to have the energy to catch up with them. It had been a few months since she last saw them, so Madison felt happy and excited.After seeing the familiar street, Madison yelled, "We're here, Mr. Carter!" and intended to step out of the car before Dylan could pull the vehicle into a sidewalk. However, it was not a good idea because it was already dawn, and she might unintentionally disturb their neighbors' sleep. Her neighbors would undoubtedly spread rumors about this until everyone knew it. When the car stopped, Madison quickly opened it, and she almost fell."Careful, darling," Dylan gently said and quickly supported her. "Don't be in such a hurry. We're already here," He said while observing her make sure she was alright. After confirming that nothing had happened to her, Dylan held Madison carefully and h
Dylan just came from the lake with Madison and her family. The sound of Madison's smiles and laughter as she conversed with her family was music to Dylan's ears. While the family went inside the house, he stayed at the shop to get some air.Shades of blue illuminated the clouds in the sky by now. Dylan smiled as he remembered the pure smile on Madison's lips as she waded around the edge of the lake earlier. He was happy because she let him see and experience the life she grew up in. It was undeniable that it was challenging at first. But he learned to become comfortable with it as time passed.Suddenly, Ruth sat in the wooden chair opposite Dylan, plastering a warm smile in front of him. "I couldn't thank you enough, Mr. Carter. If it weren't for you, Madison wouldn't be able to study again and pursue her dream.""Don't mention it, Aunt Ruth," Dylan replied and promised, "I am serious with your daughter, and I'll do everything for her."Ruth nodded. "Madison was still young when she s
