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?“”
Amid the rising steam, she helplessly urged Gavin, “Gavin, why don’t you eat? What are y
Through the hazy steam, Gavin looked at Madeline. He still smiled but sighed, Tm wondering if you really don’t care anymore or if you’re just pretending to be calm.”
“It’s the former,” Madeline answered earnestly, I really don’t care anymore.
“Boss, serve all of your signature dishes,” Gavin ordered.
The restaurant owner looked at Gavin and hesitated, “Anyone else will come? Should I get you a bigger table?”
“No, just the two of us” Gavin waved his hand and said, “Hurry up
The restaurant owner scratched his head and did not think much of it.
Madeline muttered. There’s only the two of us. Why order so much more! Don’t waste,food.”
“I’m happy today, so I want to order more. Anyway, it won’t cost much” said Gavin. He added, “What would you like to drink? I’ll go out and buy for you!
“No need. We have drinks here,” said Madeline.
“It’s okay. I won’t 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 Organization’s chat
group.
Gavin wrote: [Today, Jacob came to the Larson residence to ask for Madeline’s forgiveness. He was humiliated by us and looked like a drowning dog. I’m 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 ticket–an 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?”
He suddenly sneered maliciously, thinking, ‘Going abroad… Could he be up to something shady”
“Sir, your drink is ready” 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.

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 can’t escape from me! Want to start a new life after hurting Maddie? She’ll 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!
Madeline’s 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.

Chapter 171
“Well, it seems that the Larson family has been having a hard time recently,” 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.
“Nolan, are you going to buy a house?” she asked.
Nolan nodded. “I slept with Gavin last night but couldn’t fall asleep, so I kicked him out and had him stay at a hotel.
He handed the contract to Madeline and said, “It’s still too small to live in, so I plan to buy a penthouse here. The house should be bigger so that Gavin doesn’t have to go out and stay in a hotel all the time.”
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, “Well… you’re really thoughtful”
She took the contract and put her hands on her hips, saying. “This residential area is opposite our school. It’s quite expensive. The penthouses over there are river–view units, right at the subway entrance. It must be costly, right?”
She pointed at the contract and asked, “There should be ordinary units too. Do you have to buy a penthouse!”
Looking at the exaggerated estimated price, Madeline could not help but advise, I probably won’t live here for long…
As she spoke, she took a closer look. “Why is my name on this contract? Owner is Madeline Larson?‘ she thought in shock
“Nolan, why is the owner’s name me?” Madeline looked at Nolan in confusion. “You bought this house under my name?” She suddenly understood. “Oh, you probably don’t have the eligibility to
ity to buy
a house here,” she said.
Nolan smiled faintly and said, “Not using your name. It’s for you. If you don’t want to live here in the future, either sell it or invest and rent it out. If you don’t want to deal with it, just take it as a place to stay in Acocester.
Madeline could not help but feel amazed. Acocester’s houses were considered expensive compared to other first–tier cities in the country. Furthermore, this penthouse cost more than 6.8 million dollars. The price was so exaggerated
She hurriedly refused, “No need. If you need a place to stay, we can just rent the
one next door.”
Madeline returned the contract to Nolan. “I know the difference between 6 million dollars and 600 dollars a month.”
Nolan shook his h
hrad dotingly and patted the seat beside him. Madeline sat down next to him.
Nolan took Madeline’s hand, lowered his head gently, and slowly explained. I’m doing this for your own good. Just accept it. You don’t have any properties in Acocester, and with the housing restrictions here, if you want to buy, it’s better to buy a top–class one. Otherwise, it would be a waste to use up your buying eligibility on something lesser, wouldn’t it?”
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,
“Nolan, don’t be impulsive: She thought, How could he so casually buy me a house worth 6 million dollars?
Madchor looked at him seriously. “Think about it again.”
“It’s 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. “The password is your birthday”
