Chapter 172
Madeline held the items and thought of a way to refuse. “Nolan, I think…
Nolan had already got up and went to the kitchen. Madeline looked at his slender back and wanted to argue about not buying the house again. However, Nolan seemed to have made up his mind.
Madeline followed him to the kitchen door. Nolan turned around and bent over, looking at her.
ou like. Now, I’ll
He raised his hand and touched her forehead with his fingers. “All right, don’t mention it again. Your task today is to choose a floor you bring you the food. Let’s have breakfast, okay?”
Nolan coaxed her gently, and Madeline had no choice but to nod obediently. Once he decided something was good for her, there was no way to change his mind.
Just as I thought, Madeline sighed, holding the items. “Well, you’re too extravagant. The house cost 6 million dollars, but I’m only living here for three years. That’s millions a year. If I rented a place instead, I could live there for a lifetime.”
Madeline wrinkled her nose and puffed her cheeks. Nolan laughed helplessly, not knowing what kind of hard life Madeline had been enduring at the Larson residence.
If she had not left and had stayed with them, she could have enjoyed a carefree and privileged student life. Unfortunately, now, all he could do was try to make up for it as best as he can
“You need to change your mindset. I don’t lack money. If you can help me spend some of it, it will be a great help, Nolan said.
After breakfast. Madeline put on thick clothes and went out with an umbrella under Nolan’s watchful eye.
Jacob was still standing downstairs, completely wet. His face was pale, and his long lashes were covered in water droplets, Rainwater dripped down his handsome face, making it hard to tell if it was just rain.
He was holding breakfast in his hand. The packaging was elegant, clearly from a high–end restaurant
Jacob smiled when he saw Madeline. “Madeline, are you going to school! 1 bought you breakfast. It should still be warm,” he said
“No thanks. I won’t fall for your trap, and I don’t want your food,” Madeline said coldly. Tve already eaten. Don’t show up around me again. It’s really annoying”
The breakfast in Jacob’s hand was still warm, but his heart became cold because of Madeline’s words.
“Maddie, do you hate me that much?” he asked.
“I think I’ve already said it many times, Madeline said, frowning as she walked ahead with the umbrella.
She hailed a taxi and got in, but Jacob followed her, sticking to her like glue.
Madeline endured and decided to treat him like air. “Sir, take me to Blossom Creek sales gallery
The taxi driver could not help but look at them. He thought they were quarreling over buying a house. He did not say much, stepped on the gas and drove off
It was only less than ten minutes away from Blossom Creek, so they got there quickly, Madeline sat in the passenger seat, looking out of the window at the city wrapped in rain.
The park, usually bustling with people, was nearly empty today. The shops along the road were deserted, and even those who were out hurried along with their umbrellas, walking briskly.
The taxi soon stopped Jacob paid the fare before Madeline could take out her phone. He eagerly got out of the car and opened the door for her. “Maddie, watch out for puddles,” he said,
Madeline walked to the sales gallery with an umbrella, regardless of whether Jacob was caught in the rain. She had little sympathy and hoped he would back off and stop bothering ber,
Jarl was wet all over and followed Madeline pitifully,
The salesperson at Blossom Creek, Emily Carter, stood at the sales gallery entrance and immediately sailed brightly when she saw Madeline “Ms. Larson, it’s raining. Your clothes are all wet. Let me help you dry off. I’ll get you a cup of hot water. Please wait in t
the VIP room for a moment.

Emily said.
“It’s really cold today. Why is this gentleman so wet? Isn’t it cold? Hurry inside and warm up, or you might catch a cold,” she added.
Madeline glanced at Jacob and said, “If you want to end your life, don’t do it in front of me. What a bummer!”
Jacob felt a deep pain in his heart.
When Madeline was still with the Larson family, Winslet always played the victim to gain sympathy and make everyone feel sorry for her. This made Madeline look like a bad person.
Madeline had suffered a lot because of this. Therefore, she did not fall for the victim act at all and even hated it very much.
Jacob was not a fool. He could see that Madeline’s patience with him had reached its limit. He did not understand why she hated him so much.
He quietly stayed by Madeline’s side, only realizing later that she was here to buy a house.
“Maddie, how much is this house? Let me pay for it, Jacob said, catching a glimpse of the price–around 600 thousand dollars. It was not a problem for him to make up with his family and pay 30% of the down payment.
Emily could not help but glance at Jacob and smiled embarrassedly. “Sir, Mr. Fisher has reserved this penthouse. Even if you want to pay, it would have to be done with his card”
Emily could not help but wonder how attractive Madeline must be to have two men rushing to pay for the house.
When Jacob heard that Nolan had bought it, he vigilantly grabbed Madeline’s hand just as she was about to sign. He said, “Maddie, don’t spend his money. He’s not a good person. I have money. Let me buy it for you, okay?”
Madeline sneered in a low voice. “Now you call yourself my brother? Where were you before? Sorry, I may have many flaws, but I have a great memory. I remember you said that Winslet is your only sister.”
Madeline shook the contract and added, “Besides, it’s not up to you to judge Nolan.” She firmly signed the contract..
Seeing Jacob was about to say something. Emily hurriedly said, “Mr. Fisher is very devoted to Ms. Larson. Sir, you can’t doubt Mr. Fisher’s love for Ms. Larson. This house is worth 6.8 million dollars, and he gives it to her in full, If he weren’t good to her, would he spend such a large sum on a luxury property?”
Jacob frowned and looked at the number on the contract again. He had thought it was 680 thousand dollars, but he had not noticed the extra z Even in the Larson family’s heyday, they could not afford to buy a house for that much money.
Emily was thrilled with the big sale and praised warmly. She even arranged for a car to take Madeline home.
ZETO
Jacob stood wet in front of the sales gallery. This time, he did not follow Madeline into the car. He clenched his fists and finally realized the huge gap between him and Nolan
Emily pretended to be distressed and said, “Sir, you’re so wet. Let me get a hairdryer for you. We still have a lot of units here. If you’re interested. you can still choose from some great floors. You could even be neighbors with Ms. Larson. The unit downstairs is slightly cheaper, 6.4 million dollars
Jacob frowned and said, “I don’t have any money” At the moment, he did not even have 400 thousand dollars.
Emily could not help but smille, her eyes showing a hint of amusement. She thought. Why pretend to be rich when you have no money? How dare you chase after a girl and compete with Mr. Fisher! Such arrogance is ridiculous!”
