Chapter 1073

Chapter 1073:

Before Albertine could finish her words, she was interrupted by Madisyn’s gentle embrace.

She was so surprised that her round eyes widened. As far as she could remember, a hug was a friendly way of greeting people. However, no one had ever hugged her before.

Madisyn hugged her after seeing the gift. Did this mean Madisyn didn’t hate her gift?

“Miss Johns?” Albertine’s voice was soft. It was as if she feared Madisyn would stop hugging her. She still wanted to savor such a wonderful experience.

At this moment, Madisyn’s emotions had calmed down a lot. She let go of Albertine, but she was still moved. “Albertine, thank you. I need this gift so much.” Madisyn’s silence just now wasn’t from displeasure but sheer astonishment. Albertine’s gift was the Liliuma she had been looking for for years. It was the one her mentor always told her to find. She couldn’t believe Albertine handed it to her today.

When Albertine heard Madisyn’s words, her cheeks flushed, and a shy smile spread across her face. “You’re welcome, Miss Johns. I’m glad you like it.” Madisyn stared at the Liliuma, admiring its unique appearance. The branches, devoid of any flowers or leaves, were an intricate maze of twists and curves, shimmering with a frosty silver-white hue that seemed almost otherworldly.

Her thoughts drifted to her mentor’s book, the one that contained meticulous notes on the plant’s growth and care. She couldn’t help but smile as she reflected on the parallels between the Liliuma and Albertine.

At first glance, the Liliuma looked plain. But inside its branches was a warm, soothing liquid.

The four of them enjoyed their meal.

After saying goodbye, Madisyn carefully placed the large box in the trunk of the car.

It was Andrew’s first time seeing her value a gift like this. He realized she must really like it.

After helping Madisyn close the trunk, he casually wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pulling her closer. He hugged her tightly and whispered in a deep voice, “Honey, I can give you lots of gifts.”

Madisyn broke free from his embrace, looked at him, and asked briskly, “Do you want to know what gift Albertine gave me?”

Andrew’s eyes deepened. He asked, “What is it?” Madisyn wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned closer to his ear, and whispered something.

Andrew raised an eyebrow, looking surprised. He must admit, he didn’t expect someone as carefree as Albertine to give Madisyn such a thoughtful gift.

At that moment, Ailyn was particularly anxious. Since the Liliuma was missing, she didn’t dare to face Madisyn. She wasn’t even sure if Madisyn had already left the hotel and Mafelen.

Ailyn wanted to check the manor’s surveillance footage to see if Madisyn had sent someone to dig up the Liliuma. But surprisingly, she was blocked by the servant managing the manor’s monitor room.
