Chapter 448 The Treasure Of A Handsome Man
Cheryl was quite optimistic. “Caleb, don’t speak such disheartening words. I believe that under your leadership, our company will surely continue to thrive.”
“That’s right, Caleb. I believe you can do it,” Scarlet chimed in from the side.

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn couldn’t help but laugh in surprise. “Cheryl, did you hand over the company to your brother?”
“Indeed.” Cheryl nodded and chuckled. “Running a company does take up a lot of time, after all. At the end of the day, I’m still a student who needs to attend classes at school. Besides, Dad always had Caleb intern in the operations department in the past. When it comes to managing the company, he definitely has more experience than me. Isn’t that right, Caleb?”
After she finished speaking, Cheryl looked at Caleb with a beaming smile.
Caleb gave an embarrassed smile. “Your expectations of me are so high, it’s almost overwhelming. Nevertheless, rest assured. I’ll strive to meet them and not let down the faith you’ve put in me.”
“It’s best if you could think in that way.” After hearing that, Madelyn responded with a poised and dignified smile. “Taking back your company wasn’t a simple feat. You must manage it well in the future. I’m certain it will recover. As for me, I’ll lend you a hand from time to time. However, what I can do is always limited. Ultimately, it all depends on you guys.”
With that, Madelyn picked up a glass of wine. “All right. Let me toast you all one last time. I can’t drink too much today. I still have to go home.”
“Goodness. You must be eager to return home to see Mr. Lockhart, aren’t you?” Cheryl teased Madelyn after hearing that.
Others were also looking at Madelyn with a teasing gaze.
Madelyn was a bit embarrassed, but she managed to put on a smile anyway. “What’s the big deal? Isn’t it normal for me to see my husband? If you’re jealous, why don’t you hurry up and find someone for yourself?”
Upon hearing these words, everyone burst into laughter, filled with immense joy.
Following that, they shared a toast together. With that, the dinner gathering came to a close.
After leaving the hotel, Madelyn realized there was still plenty of time. She figured Sebastian was probably still working overtime, so she decided to grab a cab over to Lockhart Group.
When she arrived at the company, as expected, Sebastian was indeed in a meeting.
Bored, Madelyn simply sat on the couch and waited, ending up waiting for a whole two hours.
When Sebastian returned to his office, he found Madelyn lounging on the couch with her head tilted. Seemingly feeling a bit chilly, Madelyn instinctively curled her body up a little.
Sebastian felt a warm feeling in his heart as he watched her. Gently, he stepped forward and removed his

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Sebastian meticulously draping a jacket over her. The sight instantly filled her heart with warmth.
Suddenly, when Sebastian wasn’t paying attention, Madelyn seized the opportunity to lean in and plant at kiss on his check.
Sebastian’s body stiffened, and then he looked at Madelyn. “You’re awake.”
“Yes,” Madelyn obediently responded, rising from the couch.
Sebastian gave a slight nod. “Let’s go home, then.”
Following that, Sebastian took Madelyn straight home.
Ten minutes later, at Lockhart Villa, once the two of them arrived home, they first sat down for a meal.
Afterward, the two went upstairs to freshen up and prepare for rest.
Oddly enough, after Madelyn had taken her bath, she didn’t see Sebastian anywhere. She couldn’t help br feel puzzled, wondering what on earth he was up to.
Upon reaching the bathroom door, she discovered that the bathroom had been empty for a while.
Where is he? Curiosity sparked within Madelyn, so she began her search for Sebastian throughout the house.
As she searched, she couldn’t help but wonder if Sebastian had gone back to work again.
Then, Madelyn made her way to the study and sure enough, there she found Sebastian, clad in his pajamas, working intently in front of the computer.
Man, he’s a bona fide workaholic! Madelyn thought to herself in disbelief.
Still, after making her sarcastic remarks, she found herself intently staring at Sebastian, to the point where her eyes were practically glued to him.
At that moment, Sebastian sat expressionless in front of the computer. His features were delicate and profound, yet they conveyed a trace of aloofness. His hair, freshly dried, added to his refreshing appearance. Whether viewed from the side or head–on, he appeared utterly flawless.
Moreover, Sebastian was tall and lanky, with long arms and legs. Even when he was just sitting at his computer desk, one hand on the mouse, the other holding a file, he looked unbelievably attractive.
In addition to his current attire, a simple gray robe, the fluffy texture of the fabric highlighted his healthy, fair skin. The robe’s open collar design revealed his chest. His collarbone was so delicate that it could
surpass a woman’s.
Oh my goodness! Madelyn was utterly astounded by what she saw. How can he be so handsome? He’s simply a treasure to all women in this world, isn’t he? Most importantly, this treasure is now mine. Hahaha!
Madelyn inwardly burst into laughter.
She couldn’t help but think that fate must have had a strange obsession. Considering she was blind not to have noticed such a perfect gentleman in her past life, fate insisted on giving her a second chance to

“Why are you smiling?” At that moment, Sebastian saw Madelyn standing at the door with a silly grin on her face, causing him to slightly furrow his brows.
He thought to himself. Is she performing a one–woman show? There was no one speaking to her, yet she could still smile so radiantly.
“Cough, cough… It’s nothing.” Madelyn quickly regained her composure and waved her hand dismissively. Then, with a radiant smile, she moved closer to Sebastian.
“What time is it already? Are you still planning to work?” Madelyn couldn’t hel

Sebastian hummed in agreement, responding coldly, “Today has been rather busy.”
“Okay, I won’t bother you, then.” Seeing how busy he was, Madelyn obediently lowered her head, preparing to leave.
Suddenly, her slender waist was firmly grasped.
Sebastian exerted a slight force and pulled Madelyn back to him, then held her tightly in his arms. His was gentle yet slightly domineering as he said, “Stay with me.”
Madelyn couldn’t help but be taken aback.
She then cast a glance down at the hand resting on her waist, her countenance breaking into an uncontrollable smile. Subsequently, she reached back to embrace Sebastian, choosing to stay by his side as
he worked.
As she watched, Madelyn was simultaneously marveling inwardly.
That was because Sebastian’s method of working was incredibly meticulous and efficient, leaving no room for mistakes. He wouldn’t waste a single second on any task, ensuring everything was done without unnecessary delay.
D*mn it! Is he really just an ordinary human? If this kind of mechanical precision were applied to my own life, I’m afraid I would’ve committed countless mistakes by now, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk… Madelyn was impressed to her core.
Half an hour later, Sebastian finally finished his work.
