The following day, at the break of dawn, as soon as Madelyn opened her eyes in bed, she saw the warm winter sun filtering in through the window.
The entire room was bathed in light, a warm ambiance pervading every corner, filling not only the room but also Madelyn’s heart.
“You’re awake?” Suddenly, a husky voice echoed from beside her.
Ajolt of surprise shot through Madelyn’s heart. She turned around, only to find that Sebastian had just woken up, his eyes still clouded with sleep.
Then, his large hand enclosed around her waist under the covers, drawing her closer into his embrace.
Sebastian’s breath lightly grazed the top of her head, creating a sensation of warmth and tranquility. Suddenly, Madelyn felt a wave of calm washing over her.
“Why didn’t you go to work today?” At that moment, Madelyn lifted her head, her innocent eyes gazing a the strikingly handsome face of Sebastian.
He suddenly closed his eyes and gave a soft laugh, then leaned in to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead. “That’s because I want to be the first thing you see when you open your eyes.”
Next, before Madelyn could even react, her lips were sealed.
Sebastian seemed to exude an innate dry yet fragrant scent, which was immensely enjoyable to those who smelled it.
Madelyn was almost infatuated with this scent, while Sebastian was utterly lost in her tender charm.
Gradually, they found themselves irresistibly drawn into each other’s arms, yearning to intensify this intimate closeness even more.
Suddenly, there was a series of knocks at the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Knock! Knock! Knock!
At that time, Lydia stood outside the door, loudly reminding, “Mr. Lockhart, it’s time for you to go to work. You should get up and eat.”
Instantly, the passionate actions between the two were abruptly interrupted.
Sebastian had no choice but to let go of Madelyn, his eyebrows furrowing in slight displeasure. How untimely of Lydia. I was just getting into the mood, yet she interrupted me. What a buzzkill.
“Pfft…” Seeing Sebastian’s displeased face, Madelyn couldn’t help but stifle a giggle behind her hand.
Following that, it became inappropriate for the two to continue as they were, so they both got up from the bed.

After stufling her cheeks full, Madelyn found it somewhat difficult to swallow. So, she took a sip of milk, helping her to gulp down the food in her mouth.
Throughout the process, Sebastian occasionally glanced at Madelyn, noticing that her face, intentionally or not, was always graced with a hint of a smile.
He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What happened to you?”
“Huh?” Madelyn was slightly taken aback. “What did I do?”
“You seem to be in high spirits. Has something good happened?” Sebastian’s voice held an indifferent edge.
A sweet and enchanting smile surfaced on Madelyn’s face after she heard that,
Following that, Madelyn didn’t beat around the bush and said straightforwardly, “That’s right. I’ve recently. resolved a tricky problem, so of course I’m happy.”
The trouble referred to, of course, was Janessa.
The mere thought that from this point forward, her life would no longer be disturbed by Janessa, filled Madelyn with a sense of immense relief. It was as though everything was bathed in sunlight, providing her with a profound sense of comfort.
A faint smile involuntarily tugged at Sebastian’s lips. Though he didn’t voice it out, he was fully aware of what Madelyn had done.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but inwardly admire that Madelyn did have some brains after all.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been such a breeze for her to send Janessa to jail.
In the end, after finishing their breakfast, the two went their separate ways to work at their respective companies.
After arriving at the company, Madelyn was still feeling blissful.
Maintaining a sunny smile on her face, she greeted and nodded at every employee she came across.
This left the employees quite puzzled. They wondered what was going on with Madelyn. After all, it was rumored that she was willful and domineering.
Yet, why did she seem so endearing and likable at that moment?
When Madelyn arrived at the office, Jillian was already there.
Glancing up, she saw Madelyn with a face full of smiles, and she couldn’t help but laugh as well. “Madelyn, you seem to be in a great mood, huh?”
“Of course. After dealing with Janessa, it’s my first time feeling that life can be this delightful.” Madelyn was overjoyed.

By the time it was almost noon, Madelyn suddenly received a call from Cheryl, suggesting they have dinner together that evening.
Madelyn was in high spirits, so naturally, she agreed without hesitation.
Therefore, after work, Madelyn took Jillian along with her.
The dining venue was a five–star hotel, where Cheryl ordered a full table of exotic delicacies to entertain the two guests. However, unlike usual, this time, Scarlet and Caleb were also there.
After they had met, the party exchanged brief pleasantries before taking their seats together.
Then, the service staff approached, pouring wine for everyone with impeccable grace.
Right then, Scarlet took the initiative to lift her glass and said, “Ms. Thornton, the Sherritt family is deeply indebted to you for this unexpected turn of events. May I have the honor of toasting to you?”
“Mrs. Sherritt, you’re too kind.” Madelyn chuckled, then also raised a glass of wine.
The two clinked their glasses together, promptly draining their drinks in one go.
“Mom, you really shouldn’t drink so much.” Cheryl’s heart ached as she watched her mother down a glass of wine.
Scarlet was brimming with joy, quickly waving her hand dismissively. “I’m fine. It’s just that Ms. Thornton has been such a tremendous benefactor to our family. I simply must express my gratitude.”
Hearing that, Cheryl also nodded, suddenly picking up a glass of wine. “Madelyn, our family really owes you one this time. Let me toast to you.”
“Me too.” At that moment, Caleb also raised his wine glass.
“Wow. Are you guys trying to get me drunk?” Madelyn laughed but still picked up a glass of wine and clinked glasses with the two.
Following that, the group of them began to chat.
Whenever the topic of Janessa facing a five–year prison sentence came up, everyone felt a great sense of joy.
“Mom, we won’t have to put up with that woman’s attitude anymore!” There was a clear note of excitement, even a touch of exhilaration, in Cheryl’s voice.
“That’s right.” Scarlet was also quite pleased.
Caleb, however, was inexplicably melancholic. “But our company has taken a significant hit this time. To oust Janessa, our stock market has already hit rock bottom. The clients we’ve previously worked with have developed a sense of distrust toward our company. Netizens have also learned their lesson. I suspect they’ll be somewhat resistant to our company in the future.”
At that point, Caleb couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
