Chapter 244

Chapter 244 Madeline felt a bit guilty. She followed behind Yohannes and sent a message to Luisa. Book a private room for me.]

Luka mmediately sent back a room number.

Madeline breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that her assistant was reliable, Otherwise, she would have to wait for a private room when she arrived at the restaurant, and by then, Yohannes would probably lose his patience.

Yohannes suddenly stopped. “Are you planning to have me walk from this remote place to the mountain retreat you mentioned?”

Yohannes turned his head, lazily looking down at her.

Madeline took out her keys. “Give me a second. I’ll drive Yohannes stood in place, waiting for Madeline to drive up. He took out his phone and saw many missed calls, but he didn’t feel like dealing with work. His family wasn’t short of money, and he could just quit his job right away if he wanted to.

Yohannes twirled his phone and pursed his lips, seemingly thinking of something. He raised his h Madeline stopped the car by him. “Get into the car.”

to rub the corner of his eye with a smile.

Yohannes sat in the passenger seat. He leaned back, massaging his shoulders, “I fell asleep just now, and now my back and shoulders are sore.”

cango “There’s a massage club at the mountain retreat. We can go together” Madeline smiled. She wanted to express her gratitude to Yohannes. After all, no one would pass by.

The road was not very wide, even somewhat narrow, with a natural environment on both sides. With the windows open, the evening breeze of summer blew in. It brushed against their faces, making them feel comfortable and relaxed.

Yohannes leaned on the car window, squinting his eyes. “Do you prefer summer or winter?”

“Summer. I guess.” Madeline replied. “Summer is more comfortable, but when it’s too hot, it’s also hard to bear. Winter is too cold, and if you’re not well–protected, you can get chilblains on your hands and feet, which is tough to endure. She recalled the past and her tone became a bit sad. “What about you? Do you prefer winter?”

“Yeah, I like winter,” said Yohannes “Why!”

“Madeline was puzzled “Winter is too cold, and if you’re not well–protected, it can be really miserable. The cold wind is like needles piercing into my bones. It’s killing me.

“Because I met you in winter” Yohannes tone was very light.

If it weren’t for the silence, Madeline would have almost missed his words. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, not expecting his answer to be like this. “So... you asked me this question to show me that you care about me a lot?”

“Not at all” Yohannes chuckled, looking away while blinking “You’re too narcissistic, Madeline.”

“I wish I was” said Madeline.

Yohannes noticed that she had fallen silent, so he looked at her with a teasing smile. “Your next project is an esports romance drama. After that, what do you want to shoot! It will probably be winter by then, and in will be Christmas soon. How about shooting a costume drama?”

Yohannes eyes were filled with tenderness, and if Madeline looked at him, she would have noticed the affection in bis eyes. Tve heard that costume dramas are easier to go viral. I can get you a great role.”

“Yohannes” Madeline said, focused on driving “We’ll see. I might consider taking a break to finish my courses in school early.

Acocester is still too small, and I’m thinking of moving to Japrium. It would be convenient for shooting and I could also meet up with my brothers more often.”

Yohannes lowered his head, hiding the loneliness in his eyes. I see. He pinched the knuckle of his thumb. He thought, Fine. She wants to see her brothers. Even though she’s right in front of me, she is still thinking of others. She doesn’t care about me at all‘

For a moment, Yohannes felt like something was stuck in his throat. It tasted a little bitter, but not too much. He might have been accustomed to this feeling. He was used to it and had anticipated it.

He envied Gavin for being able to openly protect her, love her, and express his feelings to her. He would never dare to do that.

“Maddie.”

Madeline stopped the car and pointed outside the window, “We’re here, Yohannes. Stop overthinking. You’ve always been a worrier since you were a child.”

She turned her head and smiled at him. “You’re different from them. You’re unique. I know you’re upset. Madeline looked at his straight face. “Tim glad you came to see me and I appreciate you helping me get this role.

Chapter 211 “Who told you I’m upset?” Yohannes snorted, looking at the sky. “And don’t be presumptuous. I didn’t come to see you. I’m here to check how you’re doing. I’m busy”

Madeline rolled her eyes and said, “I know you won’t admit it” She got out of the car, leaving Yohannes behind.

Yohannes waited for a while. Seeing that she really didn’t plan to wait for him, he slowly got out of the car.

After dinner, they N WETE in a private room for a massage. Yohannes didn’t like being touched by others, so after a while, he had the masseuse leave. He lay on the bed, watching the TV on the projector.

Next to him. Madeline was lying on her stomach, enjoying the massage so much that she fell asleep.

Acting was tiring, especially in historical dramas, She spent almost every day on hard work like mowing, herding cattle, and cleaning manure. She was exhausted After the masseuse finished her session, Yohannes looked at the sleeping Madeline, squatted by her bed carefully, and raised his hand to touch her eyelashes and her check. His eyes were filled with pure devotion as he looked at her.

Although he spoke disdainfully of her, in his heart, he admired her like a goddess. “Maddie.”

Yohannes secretly stroked her hair, her cheek, and her jawline with his fingertips, his gaze detailed and affectionate. He suddenly remembered their first meeting with a soft smile.

Before she woke up, he returned to his place.

Madeline felt a tickle on her cheek, so she opened her eyes, feeling a bit groggy. She saw that there was no one else in the room, so she said in a cute nasal tone. “Are we done with the massage? Why didn’t you wake me up? Let’s go back to the hotel then. I’m lacking sleep lately -You can have a good rest. Yohannes pretended to watch TV. “I haven’t finished watching this movie.”

“Then wake me up when it’s over. Madeline pulled a small blanket over herself, catching up on her sleep.

Anyway, a , a movie couldn’t be too long, just a couple of hours at most. She wasn’t in a hurry to go back. Overwhelmed by sleepiness, she dozed off. She didn’t know that as soon as she fell asleep, Yohannes, who said he wanted to watch a movie, stared at her all night like a lovesick fool
