All Chapters of He Chose His Love, I Chose My Career: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

A week ago, the CEO of Bloomberg Group released a single evening gown featuring only the finest materials in the entire world and the most complicated and impeccable needlework ever. He wanted to create the most unique gown ever created for his lover, and he named it "Lovelace".Lacey Houston was currently wearing "Lovelace" on her. Of course, "Lovelace" had to mean "Love" and "Lacey". He had simply named the gown after her, making it a bold proclamation of his eternal love for her.The cameras were pointed at both their faces. He was tall, dark, and handsome, whilst she was beautiful and stunning. They also seemed intimately close to each other.Madeline Carlton's lips tugged upward slightly in a self-deprecating grin when she saw that. They were perfect for each other. But that only made Madeline's situation seem even more like a sick joke.Half an hour later, footsteps sounded at the door. Madeline remained seated on the couch and didn't get up to welcome the newcomer home. Inst

A short while later, the bathroom opened with a soft click. Timothy walked out, still drying his hair with a towel. He found it weird when he realized that Madeline was still sitting in the living room.Just as he started walking toward her, Madeline caught sight of him and immediately shifted her gaze away. She quickly got up and went into the bedroom first. However, as soon as she got into bed, a firm, strong hand grabbed her by the waist as Timothy's chest rested against her back.He held her in his arms and asked in a low voice, "Has work been exhausting for you? You don't look too happy today.""A little," Madeline answered perfunctorily. She drew her arm out from his hug and tried to shake him off, but Timothy only hugged her even tighter than before. His lips traveled dangerously close to her earlobes as he whispered, "Don't worry. I know of a way to cheer you up."Then, Timothy's hands started wandering down Madeline's body. She immediately froze, her eyelashes shaking un

Madeline's mind was in a mess. She went back to her seat and listened as the auctioneer introduced the origin of the ring as a video played overhead, explaining the intricate design work woven into the ring.The video went on for quite a while, and Madeline was dazed all throughout. It wasn't until everyone started raising their paddles and an assistant asked Madeline whether she needed any help that she finally snapped back to the present.She couldn't help thinking that the ring being there had to be some kind of mistake. She raised her paddle at once, intending to get it."13,500,000 dollars!"A familiar voice suddenly shouted the price, and Timothy walked out from behind the video screen with his paddle in the air. With three strikes of the auctioneer's gavel, he easily won the bid for his own ring.Everyone on the ground was confused. Why would someone donate their belongings only to bid for them again?Timothy grinned and took the microphone from the auctioneer's hands to e

When Mimi ran off again, Madeline said slowly and surely, "Mimi was my birthday gift. It's just that I was immunocompromised at that time, and I'd get itchy rashes all over my skin as soon as Mimi came near me."My boyfriend felt sorry for me, so we decided to give Mimi away, although it broke our hearts. He told me that he'd given it to his old college friend. Turns out, it's you!"Maybe I should reintroduce myself to you, Ms. Houston."Madeline then straightened her clothes and flashed Lacey a smile as she formally said, "Hello, my name is Madeline Carlton, and I'm Timothy Bloomberg's girlfriend."Lacey looked elsewhere and said faintly, "Ha, I never thought you'd be smarter than I imagined."Madeline chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Well, if my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend did everything she could to make public appearances with him, made up random excuses every time to call him away, or even pretended to bump into the actual girlfriend and called it a coincidence… Any woman

Timothy sensed something was off and bolted out. "Maddie, what's wrong?"The concern in his eyes didn't seem faked. It was almost as if he would die on the spot if something were to go wrong with Madeline. He was seemingly desperately in love with her, yet he was also the one who'd kept so many things from her.Madeline tried to rein in her emotions. "Nothing's wrong. I just couldn't catch my breath for a second."She looked up at him. "Weren't you away on a business trip? What are you doing here?"Timothy looked rather diffident as he smiled and said, "I wanted to surprise you. I didn't expect you to run right into me."He helped rub her chest. Then, he took her home so she could rest until he was sure she was fine.On the way home, he kept talking about interesting things he'd noticed, not mentioning Lacey even once. However, nothing he said cheered Madeleine up.He asked carefully, "Maddie, are you angry?""No," she said, finally breaking her silence. "I'm just thinking abou
