Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Thomas paused Asking for 500 thousand dollars made him extremely embarrassed. The taxi arrived. He laughed self–

deprecatingly, shook his head, and got in the car. He wouldn’t be at ease even if he took the money.

Conner watched the car drive away, frowning. He found the situation tricky.

Tuna helped Vanessa our and reproached Conner, “Why did you talk to him! He got us into trouble. He’s such a jinx. We get into trouble whenever we meet him.”

“That’s right” Vanessa’s cheek hurt. Look at my face. Dud, you still have the mood to talk to him. I’m in trouble because of Madeline. When I get a chance. I must get back at her and let her know what the turn of the tide means. Ouch. Her face hurt again due to her dramatic expression. Dad, take me to the hospital”

Conner let out a sigh. ‘Do you still want to take revenge! Behave yourself. Don’t mess with her, and try to avoid her. If it happens again, she may not only slap you in the face. Seeing that Vanessa pursed her lips resentfully, he knew she wasn’t convinced.

Although Tiana was angry, she also sighed. Thomas is so lucky to have such a powerful daughter who hooked up with Caleb.

Why should such a fool be so lucky? It’s unfair.”

Conner, Tiana, and Vanessa got in the car and went to the hospital Sharon finally came out of the hall with her tail between her legs. She hadn’t figured out how to face the Larson family yet. She could imagine how angry Ruth would be Sharon went to the parking lot with her car keys. As she got into the driver’s seat, someone grabbed the door. With a scream, she was pushed into the car. Then, a rough man got in and took her seat.

“Who are you?” Sharon hurriedly crawled to the passenger seat and raised her hand to open the door.

Click!

The car door was locked.

The man sneered. “My boss ordered me to make you suffer a little. Just wait. It’s going to be fun Sharon’s face turned pale with fear. “Who is your boss! Caleb? Let me go. I can pay you as much money as you want “Hat I don’t care about your stinky money. The man slammed on the gas pedal. “We only want your life, not your money.”

Sharon couldn’t help trembling. “Help! Help!” she screamed, but her loud shouting was to no avail The car sped away, heading for an abandoned factory in the remote suburbs.

Meanwhile, Caleb took Madeline home.

As soon as Madeline got home, she went into the bathroom and soaked in the bathtub in a daze She had gone there to have fun today, but she hadn’t expect to see Thomas being bullied and excluded by the Larson family.

She didn’t know that Thomas had such a relative.

Madeline chuckled. “It’s none of my business. He only cares about his interests. Now, he is treated the same way by his family.

His brother also only cares about interests and not him”

She found the scene familiar. She had once been in a similar situation. But this time, the one who was despised was someone who used to be high and mighty.

Madeline changed into comfortable pajamas.

Caleb sat on the couch reading financial newspapers while a housekeeper made and poured coffee for him.

Madeline’s body seemed steaming after the shower. She smelled nice, her cheeks rosy Caleb waved his hand and said, “Maddie, come here.”

Madeline walked to the couch and sat down. “Caleb, aren’t you going to sleep? It’s already nine o’clock in the evening. Don’t you usually maintain a healthy lifestyle!

Caleb smiled. Ir wondered when he had ever maintained a healthy lifestyle. Usually, he just returned to his room early to take care of things, Chapter 153 to sleep Caleb touched Madeline’s wet hair and asked. “Why don’t you dry it?” He then instructed the housekeeper, “Bring the hairdryer over.”

Madeline touched her hair in confusion. “I can’t be bothered to blow dry my hair. I’ve wiped it briefly with the towel. It will dry on its own later, anyway “It’s winter now” Caleb smiled helplessly. After the housekeeper brought the hairdryer over, he personally dried Madeline’s hair.

Madeline huddled on the couch with her back to Caleb. The hairdryer hummed, and the air was warm. She couldn’t help but yawn relaxedly and leaned on the couch with the pillow in her arms.

Caleb’s fingers ran through Madeline’s hair as the hot air blew. He lowered his eyes, and his usually cold face looked particularly calm and peaceful. Looking at the petite and lovely Madeline, he was happy to live a simple life like this. He ruffled her hair, and after drying it, he found that she had fallen asleep.

The housekeeper asked, “Should I wake Ms. Larson up?”

Caleb raised his hand and said, “You can go now.”

The housekeeper didn’t dare to say anything more and left quietly.

Madeline’s breathing slowed down, and the hairdryer’s hot air made her ears and cheeks warm and rosy. Her lovely face and closed eyes made Caleb want to lean closer and stroke it.

Caleb lay Madeline on the big couch, turned up the air conditioner’s temperature, and brought a blanket to cover her. Then, he lay down next to her. It was inevitably a little crowded, but he smiled.

After the lights were off, everything fell into darkness.

Caleb rested his chin on the top of Madeline’s head and stroked the back of her head.

“Hmm...” Madeline turned over, moved slightly, leaned in Caleb’s arms, and continued sleeping.

Caleb didn’t dare to move for fear of waking Madeline up. Her head rested on his arm, and her unique scent filled his snose. It was warm.

His eyes wandered from her hair to her lips, and he caressed her pink and soft lips. He chuckled, closed his eyes, put his hands on her back, and fell asleep holding her.

The night was long yet short. It was seven o’clock in the morning when Caleb woke up. He only felt that the night had passed too fast.

The housekeeper came to make breakfast. She thought no one was in the living room, and when she saw Caleb and Madeline sleeping in each other’s arms on the couch, she was so shocked that her legs almost went weak. “Mr. Sinumons...

Caleb raised his hand and motioned for the housekeeper to keep quiet. Frightened, the housekeeper stepped back and went out.

Hearing the noise, Madeline stretched herself and opened her eyes. She had slept soundly all night, feeling particularly warm and comfortable. As she woke up, she found herself in Caleb’s embrace, her head resting on his arm. She raised her head and bumped into his chin.

Madeline’s sleepiness disappeared in an instant. She pulled the blanket and asked, “Why did I sleep here last night? Caleb, did you squeeze on the couch with me?”

Caleb’s eyes were filled with desire. Looking at Madeline’s face, he couldn’t help but lean closer and “Good
