Chapter 992

Madelyn put her thoughts aside and focused on her work. Soon after, she received messages fromDorian and Clement.

The studio planned to hold a meeting and a gathering for the people working there.

Madelyn looked at the group chat and saw everyone urging her to attend. The group chat was lively asmany people were texting there.

[Madelyn, you must attend!]

[Yes! You left in a hurry last time, and we didn’t have a chance to chat with you.]

Many people were still sending messages in the group chat. Madelyn muted it and replied to the twopeople: [I’ll try to make it.]

Madelyn had a lot of work to do. Many people were waiting for her draft, so she could not waste anytime.

The nights during winter always seemed a little longer. After confirming with the client that her draft wasacceptable, she wanted to send it to the studio. Then, she thought about the gathering tonight anddecided only to send the draft tomorrow as she did not want to spoil her colleagues’ mood and makethem work overtime.

Madelyn stood up and rubbed her neck as the sky got completely dark. A maid knocked on the doorand said, “Mrs. Jardin, dinner is ready.”

Madelyn opened the door, stepped out, and saw the maid standing outside. Madelyn responded, “I’meating outside today.”

The maid followed her and said, “Before Mr. Jardin went out, he mentioned that you don’t have toattend the company’s annual dinner party tonight, but you can’t go out either unless you call him and lethim know. Also, don’t forget to take your medicine.”

Madelyn thought, ‘Cecilia has actually done so much for me. She ruined my wedding photoshoot withhim, and now I don’t even need to attend the annual dinner party.’

She did not respond to the maid. Instead, she just closed the master bedroom’s door to block thesounds that annoyed her.

Madelyn changed into a different outfit and called for a car.

She was holding her phone as she walked downstairs. She wore a beige knitted sweater and a blackknitted slit skirt. The snug attire outlined her well-proportioned figure. She tied her long hair with ahairband and draped a red scarf over her arm. She was also carrying a bag. Her outfit was casual butelegant.

The maid asked, “Mrs. Jardin, are you really going out? Mr. Jardin has instructed that you can’t go outtoday.”

Madelyn ignored the maid and walked to the entrance. She wore her flat shoes and said, “He doesn’tget to tell me what to do. I won’t be eating the meal on the table, so you all can have it to avoid wastingfood.”

In the yard, Margaret was walking with Dalton on the snowy ground. Madelyn took out a gift cardenvelope from her bag and stepped forward, “This is for you. You should go home for the

holidays.”

Margaret carried Dalton, “Oh my, I can’t accept this!” Though she said that, she still accepted themoney, “If I leave, who’ll take care of Dalton? After so long, I got somewhat attached to him.”

Madelyn glanced at Dalton. He was drooling and smiling. He leaned forward and wanted Madelyn tocarry him. But she remained indifferent. She merely glanced at him and did not make any move tocarry him.

Madelyn responded, “No worries, the studio will take a break after today. I’ll leave Dal temporarily to theother maids. I’ll try to watch him, too. He’ll be fine. I might not have given you as much money as him,but it should be enough for you to spend.”

Margaret replied, “Okay, thank you so much!”

Then, a regular taxi had just arrived. Madelyn did not call for a private hire car.novelbin

The maid anxiously called Zach. When the call was connected, it was noisy on Zach’s end. The maidsaid, “Mr. Jardin, Mrs. Jardin has left. Yes… She left alone and took a red scarf with her. She didn’tmention where she’s going.”
