Chapter 171
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 171 Many university students were sitting in the restaurant. It was pretty lively.
Madeline rested her chin in her hand, watching the bubbling ing stew in front of her.
you thinking about?ââ
Amid the rising steam, she helplessly urged Gavin, âGavin, why donât you eat? What are y Through the hazy steam, Gavin looked at Madeline. He still smiled but sighed, Tm wondering if you really donât care anymore or if youâre just pretending to be calm.â
âItâs the former,â Madeline answered earnestly, I really donât care anymore.
âBoss, serve all of your signature dishes,â Gavin ordered.
The restaurant owner looked at Gavin and hesitated, âAnyone else will come? Should I get you a bigger table?â
âNo, just the two of usâ Gavin waved his hand and said, âHurry up The restaurant owner scratched his head and did not think much of it.
Madeline muttered. Thereâs only the two of us. Why order so much more! Donât waste,food.â
âIâm happy today, so I want to order more. Anyway, it wonât cost muchâ said Gavin. He added, âWhat would you like to drink? Iâll go out and buy for you!
âNo need. We have drinks here,â said Madeline.
âItâs okay. I wonât be long Gavin put down the food and went out to buy a drink.
While wailing at the coffee house, he leaned aside with a smile on his face. He was sending a message to Phantom Organizationâs chat group.
Gavin wrote: [Today, Jacob came to the Larson residence to ask for Madelineâs forgiveness. He was humiliated by us and looked like a drowning dog. Iâm so excited.]
Someone replied immediately. Wesley wrote: [Something even more thrilling is coming up soon.
Gavin took a closer look and saw that Wesley had sent a photo. He was wearing a cap and a black mask, hiding in the seat of a plane. He was holding up a ticketâan international flight ticket.
Gavin stroked his chin and wondered, Wesley is going abroad again. What is he planning to do? Will it be something that cheers me up?â
He suddenly sneered maliciously, thinking, âGoing abroad... Could he be up to something shadyâ
âSir, your drink is readyâ the shop worker said.
Gavin put away his phone and went back to the restaurant happily with the drink.
Wesley turned off his phone on face completely.
the p plane. As it started moving, everything outside began to disappear. He pulled his hat down more, hiding his Although he kept his distance from Madeline, trying to keep her out of his world, it did not mean he could ignore what was happening to her.
Can Winslet really escape and start over just by going abroadt Even if she went abroad, she canât escape from me! Want to start a new life after hurting Maddie? Sheâll have to wait for the next lifetime! Wesley thought.
When Madeline woke up, it was even colder outside. The weather was gloomy, with a drizzle and the windows covered in a layer of mist, Madeline got up, turned off the air conditioner, and wiped the glass beside the window.
A man was standing on the road below the window, Madeline frowned and thought, Jacob? What a bummer!
Madelineâs phone had received countless calls, and she had long since blocked Jacob. When she opened the spam filter, she discovered that the Larson family had called her many times.
12:16 PM Chapter 171 âWell, it seems that the Larson family has been having a hard time recently,â Madeline said while stretching. She threw her phone on the bed and went out in slippers.
Nolan sat on the couch with his knees crossed with a book resting gently on top. He looked relaxed.
Madeline took a closer look and found that what he was holding was not a book but a property purchase contract.
âNolan, are you going to buy a house?â she asked.
Nolan nodded. âI slept with Gavin last night but couldnât fall asleep, so I kicked him out and had him stay at a hotel.
He handed the contract to Madeline and said, âItâs still too small to live in, so I plan to buy a penthouse here. The house should be bigger so that Gavin doesnât have to go out and stay in a hotel all the time.â
His concern for Gavin was just an excuse. After staying here for a few days, he found the place too cramped. There was no s space to store things properly or for a dedicated workspace. It was too inconvenient However, he did not want to directly tell Madeline to change the living environment in case she would think too much. It was better to use Gavin as an excuse.
Madeline touched her chin and said, âWell... youâre really thoughtfulâ
She took the contract and put her hands on her hips, saying. âThis residential area is opposite our school. Itâs quite expensive.
The penthouses over there are riverâview units, right at the subway entrance. It must be costly, right?â
She pointed at the contract and asked, âThere should be ordinary units too. Do you have to buy a penthouse!â
Looking at the exaggerated estimated price, Madeline could not help but advise, I probably wonât live here for long...
As she spoke, she took a closer look. âWhy is my name on this contract? Owner is Madeline Larson?â she thought in shock âNolan, why is the ownerâs name me?â Madeline looked at Nolan in confusion. âYou bought this house under my name?â She suddenly understood. âOh, you probably donât have the eligibility to ity to buy a house here,â she said.
Nolan smiled faintly and said, âNot using your name. Itâs for you. If you donât want to live here in the future, either sell it or invest and rent it out. If you donât want to deal with it, just take it as a place to stay in Acocester.
Madeline could not help but feel amazed. Acocesterâs houses were considered expensive compared to other firstâtier cities in the country. Furthermore, this penthouse cost more than 6.8 million dollars. The price was so exaggerated She hurriedly refused, âNo need. If you need a place to stay, we can just rent the one next door.â
Madeline returned the contract to Nolan. âI know the difference between 6 million dollars and 600 dollars a month.â
Nolan shook his h hrad dotingly and patted the seat beside him. Madeline sat down next to him.
Nolan took Madelineâs hand, lowered his head gently, and slowly explained. Iâm doing this for your own good. Just accept it. You donât have any properties in Acocester, and with the housing restrictions here, if you want to buy, itâs better to buy a topâclass one. Otherwise, it would be a waste to use up your buying eligibility on something lesser, wouldnât it?â
Madeline raised her eyes and saw Nolan looking at her gently, his eyes filled with patience and care as if he were sincerely explaining things to her The corners of his eyes slightly lifted, showing his concern for her future. He always cared deeply for her.
Though usually rational, he was generous and sometimes even impulsive when it came to her.
Madeline said, 1. âNolan, donât be impulsive: She thought, How could he so casually buy me a house worth 6 million dollars?
Madchor looked at him seriously. âThink about it again.â
âItâs just a small sum of money. Co sign the contract this afternoon and remember to bring your ID card Nolan gave the contract and bank sand to Madeline, adding. âThe password is your birthdayâ
