Chapter 234 Listening To Your Heartbeat

Frushed

“Wow, Madelyn. | didn’t expect you to have this trick your sleeve. This time, Josiah was thoroughly impressed.

At that moment, Madelyn was panting heavily. Dismissively, she waved her hand and said, “What's the big deal?

If | wasn’t worried about making enemies, I'd have loved to pick a fight with them.”

After she finished speaking. Madelyn glanced around and noticed a faucet not too far away.

Immediately, she walked over and vigorously washed Her face a few times with the scoops of water she had

collected.

“Con, is this really necessary?” Josiah was grumbling on the side, finding it hard to watch. “Can’t you wash

up after we go home?”

Madelyn, however, waved her hand. “No, | can’t go hlooking like this.”

Having said that, she thoroughly washed her face several times with great effort. She then took out a mirror from

her bag and checked, ensuring that she had completely removed her makeup. Only then did she consider it

done.

By the tthey returned to the Thornton residence, it was well past midnight.

Madelyn, carrying her change of clothes, swiftly entered the house. It had been an exhausting day, and she

needed to get ssleep as soon as possible.

The moment she pushed open the room’s door, she was shocked! The bag she was holding, filled with her

disguise, almost slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor.

“S-Sebastian, why are you here?” Madelyn asked, her voice faltering inexplicably, a hint of unease creeping into

her tone due to her guilt.

At that moment, Sebastian was casually seated on the couch, his legs crossed. The way he looked at Madelyn

was particularly intent.

“Why did you return so late? Where have you been?” Even his voice was icy cold to the extreme.

In reality, ever since Sebastian couldn't find her at Lockhart Villa in the afternoon, he had been waiting over here

for her.

From seven in the evening to the stroke of midnight, a total of five hours, he had been quietly waiting for her

right here....

Madelyn bit her lip helplessly, feeling utterly embarrassed.

However, just yesterday, she had promised Sebastian she wouldn't go to the black market. If she were to admit

she had gone there now, wouldn't Sebastian be furious?

With this in mind, Madelyn took a deep breath, steeling herself before saying, “L... I've been rehearsing at school

all this time.”

She was lying

her at the rehearsal venue.

It seemed like she was hiding something from him aga

Where could she have possibly gone in the middle of the night?

Could she have visited a place she shouldn't have?

Findened

However, upon careful thought, he didn’t recall the people Harriet had sent to trail her reporting anything to him.

Sebastian could only muster a faint smile. “It’s good that you're back.”

Hearing him say this, Madelyn finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Well, I guess I'll go take a shower first then. I'm all sweaty.”

After speaking. Madelyn went to fetch clothes from the wardrobe. Seizing this moment, she swiftly stashed the

bag she was holding into the closet. Then, she took out her usual pajamas and hurried into the bathroom.

Sebastian had always been keenly observant, so there was no way he hadn't noticed her subtle actions just

THOW.

He simply didn’t expose her.

At that moment, taking advantage of Madelyn’s absence as she went to bathe, Sebastian couldn't help but

squint his eyes. He rose from his seat and walked toward the wardrobe.

Upon opening the wardrobe, he spotted the bag.

Sebastian crouched down, slightly opening the bag to take a peek inside. Why he saw was a chaotic mess. filled

entirely with props used for disguises.

Wigs, studded leather jackets, leather pants, earrings, eyeshadow, and so on.....

Has she gotten involved in the underworld?

Sebastian couldn't help but slightly furrow his brows. Then, without any hint of emotion, he quietly returned the

object to its original place and closed the wardrobe. He then continued back to the couch, resuming his focus on

his laptop, pretending to be oblivious to everything.

After a while, Madelyn finally emerged, having finished her ablutions.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she walked over and sat down on the couch. Leaning over, she comfortably

nestled herself into Sebastian's embrace.

While wrapping her arms around his waist, she playfully coord, “What brings you all the way here today? Could it

be that you've missed me?”

Sebastian was being held so tightly that his whole body felt somewhat stiff.

With a slight clearing of his throat, he admitted awkwardly. “I ctoday because of business matters. As you

know, our families’ companies have always had ongoing business dealings. | was here to discuss those affairs.

Dad askedto stay for dinner, so | just decided to stay here.”

“Huh? So that’s why...” Upon hearing this, Madelyn was visibly disappointed. “I thought you cspecifically to

see me. It seems | was overthinking it.”

Sebastian gave a slight smile, not saying a word.

-Right, your injury! How's your injury? Lettake a look,” Madelyn suddenly said with concern

Without paying any heed to Sebastian's expression, she proceeded to unbutton his shirt.

His impressive and well-defined muscles were perfectly displayed before her eyes. However, Madelyn showed no

interest in admiring them. Her gaze fell directly on his arms and chest, for she remembered that he had been

injured there before.

Seeing her so anxious, Sebastian actually felt somewhat comforted.

“Huh? The wounds have healed already. How did it happen so quickly?” Madelyn thoroughly inspected him once

more, finding to her astonishment that there were barely any injuries left.

At that moment, her gaze finally settled upon his nearly perfect masculine form....

“Um, since you're all right now, let's go to sleep quickly. As soon as the words fell, Madelyn’s face turned red

from bashfulness. She quickly slid into the bed and burrowed under the blanket, leaving only Her head

Sebastian found it rather amusing.

Following that, he also removed his coat and lay down.

To his surprise, the very next moment, the woman beside him latched onto him like an octopus.

Her slender legs instantly wrapped around him, and her hands were draped over his body as Madelyn held onto

Sebastian tightly.

“Could you... maybe loosen up a bit?”

Sebastian felt somewhat helpless at her lack of control over her strength. Was she trying to strangle him to

death?

Madelyn, however, nestled in his embrace while chuckling softly. “No, | want to hold you tight. You have no idea

how overjoyed | am that you chere. Now 1 won't have to spend sleepless nights missing you.”

She couldn't sleep because she was missing me? Is that really true?

Sebastian found it somewhat hard to believe.

At this moment, Madelyn seemed to be tired. Suddenly, she changed her position, laying directly on top of him.

Sebastian couldn't help but grunt softly. Although Madelyn was petite and light, the weight of her entire body

pressing down on him was still noticeable.

Suddenly, Madelyn whispered softly. “Sebastian... is it okay if | just lay on you like this?”

Sebastian was slightly taken aback.

At that moment, Madelyn shifted slightly, resting her face against his chest. With a sweet, infatuated smile. she

said, “Listening to your heartbeat is truly comforting.”

A wave of warmth coursed through Sebastian at the words.

A thought suddenly struck Sebastian, about how wonderful it would be if this moment could last forever.

However, in the very next moment, he felt uneasy.

His lower body was clearly reacting to the position!
