Chapter 236
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 236 Madeline wished she could just bury her head in the ground. With no other choice, she could only press her head against Gavinâs chest to avoid dying of embarrassment, The girl petite in stature, looked irresistibly cute and charming nestled in Gavinâs arms, âSo cute.â Gavin remarked as he ruled her hair, âyou little one.â
Just as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pinch on his waist. It hurt so much his expression changed. He quickly grabbed Madelineâs hand and burried her to the classroom.
If he kept joking around, that weak spot at his waist would definitely be spared. Cute little one? More like a Berce tigress. Gavin said to himself in his heart.
During the evening class meeting, everyone sat quietly waiting.
Christopher hadnât arrived yet.
Madeline propped up her chin with a tablet in front of her, reading a script and taking notes with a stylus.
Harper, on the other hand, was bored and watching online courses on her phone, preparing for the May certification exam More than twenty minutes passed before someone arrived.
Daisy entered the classroom n with a smile. She said. âHello everyone, Iâm your new counselor, Daisy Green. Iâve just returned from abroad, a few years older than you, and Iâm 25. Since this is our first meeting, how about we start with some introductions?â
she suggested.
âMadeline, itâs really her! Whatâs the doing in our class!â Harper exclaimed, visibly surprised, The class president, Harley, asked curiously. âMs. Green, wasnât Mr. Christopher supposed to be our counselor?â
Daisy smiled warmly, her gaze sweeping across the room, then she said, âHe was, but as of today, itâs me. If all goes well, I will be with you until you graduate.
Everyone started to introduce themselves. Theyâd already had one at the start of the term Even though they had been in the same class for nearly half a year, most of them havenât spoken or even know each other.
Madeline didnât think much of it, but when her turn came, her classmates were unusually excited âHi everyone, Iâm Madeline,â she introduced herself. Unlike at the beginning of the school year, now Iâm not just a student but also an actress.â
Harper watched from ber seat, impressed by Madelineâs confident introduction.
Someone whispered, âMadelineâs gone into acting? Does she have any roles yet?â
âNo idea, you might want to Google it, someone suggested âI checked, sheâs already filmed âFake Confessions and wow, sheâs the second female lead! Camilleâs the lead and Yohannes is the male lead?â someone exclaimed excitedly.
âWow, sheâs already filming with Camille and Yohannesâ Thatâs amazing, someone said with surprise.
âI saw sheâs also in âCheers. Iâve been eagerly waiting for this movie, canât believe sheâs in it too, another voice said.
âI think we should get some photos with her while sheâs still at school. Who knows, when she becomes famous, we might not get another chance. someone suggested.
Madeline finished her introduction and was about to step off the stage.
Smiling at her, Daisy complimented. âMadeline, your career plan is very clear. 1 believe your future will be very exciting.â
Madeline smiled back and said. âThank you, Ms. Greenâ
Daisy nodded and said, âAfter class, letâs take a picture together. Just like t the students said, In a few years, this will be a celebrity photo.â
Everyone burst into laughter.
Madeline felt a bit shy and pressed her lips together. She answered, âThank you all for your supportâ
After the class meeting ended, many people took pictures with Madeline.
Chapter 236 They usually didnât interact much with Madeline, not because they didnât like her, but because she seemed too distant. She wasnât often at school, which added to her mysterious charm. This was an opportunity to get closer to her.
As Madeline was packing to leave, she checked the new contacts on her WhatsApp and noticed one was Daisy Green Daisyâs WhatsApp profile picture was a photo of herself. In the photo, she was standing by the sea, wearing a blue and white striped outfit, leaning against the railing with her hair blowing in the wind. It was a beautiful photo, though the outfit seemed a little unusual.
Madeline accepted the friend request from Daisy. Then she casually walked out of the classroom with her backpack slung over her shoulder.
Outside, Gavin was waiting.
Leaning against the corner pillar, half in shadow and light, Gavin complained, âMaddie, the class meeting took forever. Itâs just ending now.â
He extended a hand and said. âLet me carry your bag for you.â
Madeline handed over her bag without hesitation. âWe have a new counselor, and sheâs qu quite beautiful,â she remarked.
Gavin playfully pinched her cheek. âI donât care how beautiful other people are. I only know Maddie is the most beautiful, all over the world,â said Cavin.
Madeline gave him a light punch and teased, âLooks like youâve been soaking in a honey jar for a few months, instead of being at a remote base. With such sweet words, are you up to somethingââ
âHow could I be?â Gavin said, taking Madelineâs bag. âAre you hungry?
wry? Let me tre me treat you to a lateânight snackâ
Madeline rubbed her stomach, realizing it had been a while since sheâd had a lateânight snack.
She frowned and said, âBetter not. I have filming over the summer break, and itâll be bad if I look too chubby on camera.â
âThatâs months away. We can worry about that later, Gavin replied, suddenly curious, âHowâs your work going lately? Still smooth sailing?â
Madeline chatted with him as they walked. Things are going well. For some reason, lots of projects are coming my way, like everyone sees potential in meâ âLogically speaking.. she stroked her chin, puzzled, âI havenât even released any work yet.â
Gavin thought about it and realized it probably wasnât just him spreading the word. He had no clue who else might be handling things behind the scenes.
But there was no need to overthink it. Madeline was the only beloved sister they had. Who wouldnât spoil her? No one wanted to see Madeline suber.
If they didnât make arrangements, what if Madeline ran into an unreliable film crew and got taken advantage of Gavin couldnât bear the thought of his little sister struggling out there.
He changed the subject and asked, âWhat do you want for a lateânight snack? Barbecue? Skewers! Scew?â
âStew, maybe?â Madeline pondered, resting her chin on her hand. âItâs still a bit chilly at night; a stew will warm us right up. Are we heading back to the apartment tonight, or the house?â asked Madeline.
Gavin was back now, so there was no way heâd let his little lamb go back to the wolfâs den. âDefinitely the apartment. Itâs too late and tiring to drive back house,â said Gavin.
Madeline nodded. Nolan also gave her a large house, but she wasnât too fond of its original decor, so it was currently being renovated. Otherwise. she could have just moved into the penthouse there, Madeline walked alongside Gavin, their shadows stretching long under the streetlights.
Under the classroom building, Daisy watched them walk away, a smile playing on her lips that left its meaning open to interpretation.
âItâs been a while, Gavin. Long time no see, Madeline, Daisy whispered.
There was no trace of malice in her eyes, only a mysterious and complex smile that made it hard to guess her thoughts.
Christopher ran over hurriedly and said, âHey, Daisy. Iâm here. Want to grab a lateânight snack together?â
âNo thanks, Iâm into my beauty sleep, Dalay gave Christopher a glance and said. The mission has been achieved, and this man has no value anymore. Daisy thought She said indifferently. âIf you have nothing else going on, you might as well head home and get some rest
