Chapter 438 I Belong Only To Your
In the afternoon, at Thornton Corporation.
Once Madelyn finished the task at hand, she felt a wave of boredom sweep over her.
At that moment, a phone call came in.
After she answered, Malcolm hurriedly said. “Ms. Thornton, Mr. Lockhart has returned.”
“Really?”
Upon hearing this, Madelyn was ecstatic with joy.

In truth, over the past couple of days, she had been missing Sebastian badly. Consequently, she had informed Malcolm that the moment Sebastian returned, he had to let her know immediately.

Hence, without wasting any time, she quickly rose from her seat, slipped on her coat, and prepared to step

“Madelyn, where are you going?”
Upon seeing her rush out in such a hurry, Jillian was somewhat puzzled.
Ever since Madelyn took over the company, her temperament had become significantly calmer and composed, so why was she suddenly back to her playful and lively self again?
In no time at all, Madelyn arrived at Lockhart Group.

Madelyn could hardly wait as she hurried over to press the elevator button to ascend the beeline for Sebastian’s office.
Upon entering, she indeed saw Sebastian sitting there, clad in a charcoal gray suit. Whether it was his looks or his demeanor, he was so strikingly handsome that it was universally acknowledged.
“Sebastian, I’ve missed you to death!” Madelyn cried out before throwing herself directly at Sebastian.
Before Sebastian could even react, he saw an unidentified object hurling itself directly into his arms.
Shortly after, a familiar fragrance tickled his nose, and Sebastian immediately realized that the person was Madelyn. A smile involuntarily formed at the corner of his mouth.
“How did you know I had returned?” Sebastian asked as he gently caressed her back.
“Hmph, don’t you want me to know?”
Madelyn haughtily huffed, lifting her head from his embrace. The look in her eyes was akin to that pitiful kitten, eliciting an overwhelming urge within Sebastian to comfort her.

“You wouldn’t believe how much I’ve missed you these past two days. I finally understand what people mean when they say each day feels like an eternity when you’re away from someone you love–From now on, wherever you go, I’ll follow. I can’t stand the thought of not seeing you again.”

voice softened significantly as he said, “I was only away on a business trip for two days, and you missed me this much. If I were to leave for a week, a month, or even a year, wouldn’t you be lovesick?”
“Oh, you’re terrible”
Upon hearing these words, Madelyn immediately blushed and playfully punched his chest with her small
fist.
“I won’t allow you to leave me, not even for a day, certainly not for a week, and absolutely not for a year. Moreover, I’ll surely retaliate,”
“How will you retaliate?” Sebastian asked with a soft chuckle.
“L” Madelyn seemed to ponder for a moment, then she exclaimed, “I’ll talk with other men! Yes, that’s what I’ll do!”
Her tone became firmer as she added, “Sebastian, if you dare to leave me for such a long time, I will chat with many men. I wonder what you’ll do then.”
“Absolutely not!”
Now it was Sebastian’s turn to refuse.
The thought of this young woman daring to threaten him by mentioning she would chat with other men caused Sebastian’s expression to involuntarily turn stern.
With an abrupt yank, Sebastian pulled Madelyn tightly into his arms.
“You belong to me. I won’t allow you to be with any other man! Never!”
Upon hearing this, Madelyn couldn’t stop a smile from spreading across her face.
Then, without any further hesitation, Madelyn reciprocated by tightly embracing Sebastian. Her voice softened considerably.
“Don’t worry, I will only ever be yours.”
After hearing her, Sebastian gently nodded, then he couldn’t help but hold her chin. His thin lips warmly pressed against hers.
Taken aback for a moment, Madelyn then began to respond.
At that moment, the door suddenly swung open.
Harriet had knocked on the door twice, but when she received no response, she decided to walk right in. The sight that met her eyes as she entered left her utterly shocked.
“Ahem…” At that moment, the two of them noticed Harriet and quickly separated.
Subsequently, Sebastian resumed his usual stern demeanor. His voice was cold as he asked, “What brings you here?”
Madelyn was watching Harriet with eyes full of resentment as she mentally cursed the latter for killing the

Nonetheless, she had no choice but to explain. “I came to report on my work”
“Speak,” Sebastian responded nonchalantly, seemingly unflustered,
“Mr. Lockhart, regarding the business deal we discussed in Quailfield a couple of days ago, their CKO has already agreed. This is the proposal they sent over. I would appreciate it if you could review it”
Once she finished speaking, Harriet handed over the blue folder she held in her hands to Sebastian.
As Sebastian was reviewing the documents, Harriet chimed in from the side, “Mr. Lockhart, if you find everything in order, could you please sign off on it? I’ll then instruct the finance department to start working on the budget.”
Upon hearing this, Sebastian unknowingly furrowed his brow, his expression very serious.
It was often said that a man was at his most attractive when he was focused, and indeed, this statement held
For a moment, both Madelyn and Harriet found themselves unable to tear their eyes away from Sebastian
“Okay, everything is in order.”
In the end, after Sebastian finished reviewing the proposal, he decisively and smoothly signed it. Then, he handed the folder back to Harriet.
Harriet took back the folder, giving a slight nod. “All right, then I’ll get started on this now.”
Sebastian nodded.
Following that, Harriet turned and walked away.
Just then. Madelyn suddenly recalled a discrepancy in Harriet’s words from earlier.
“Wait!” Madelyn suddenly exclaimed. “You two went on this business trip together?”
Upon hearing these words, Harriet noncommittally nodded her head. “Yeah, didn’t Sebastian tell you?”
Madelyn was instantly stunned.
Suddenly, an inexplicable wave of jealousy washed over her. Madelyn cast a deep glance at Sebastian, feeling a strange sense of hurt in her heart.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.” Feeling the atmosphere turning somewhat awkward, Harriet hastily excused herself.
Then, Madelyn turned to gaze intently at Sebastian, her tone somewhat interrogative as she asked, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
