Chapter 25 Doing Chores For Him After finishing lunch, Madelyn bid farewell to Vadiel, then promptly retomed to Lockhart Ville As soon as she stepped through the door. Elis eurimy sked. Mr Lockhart, its almost midnight. Why hasn’t Mr. Lorkhan returned yet? The food in the kitchen is ready and it’s getting cold.

Madelyn nodded, then turned to Lydia. “All right. Let me ask him.”

Following that she made a call to Sebastian At that moment. Sebastian was conducting a rather significant meeting in Lockhart Group’s conference On stage. Sebastian exuded an irresistible charm. He spoke with such carnestness that those in the audience couldn’t help but listen with rapt attention.

Just then, Sebastian’s phone screen suddenly lit up, Madelyn’s name appeared on the display of the incoming call.

Sebastian slightly furrowed his brows, hesitated for a brief moment, but ultimately decided to answer the Call Once the call connected, Madelyn’s playful voice could be heard from the other end. “Hey, Darling, have you had your meal yet?

Do you want to come home for lunch?”

Sebastian silently turned the volume down to its lowest, his voice cold as he said, “I won’t be back. There’s meeting today. It’ll probably run late. You should eat first.”

Madelyn let out a sigh, her voice laced with a sense of loss. Then, all of a sudden, she perked up again. “How about I go find you?”

Sebastian’s demeanor remained icy as he said, “No need.”

Unexpectedly, Madelyn acted coy, saying, “I don’t care. You just wait for me!”

After saying that, she hung up the phone on her own accord.

Following that, Madelyn dashed into the kitchen and began rummaging through the refrigerator.

Upon seeing her in such a state, Lydia assumed she was hungry. She followed behind Madelyn and asked, “Are you hungry, Mrs. Lockhart? Shall I warm up some food for you?”

However, Madelyn replied, “I’m not hungry. I just want to personally make a packed lunch for Sebastian.”

“Packed lunch?” Lydia pondered for a moment, then suddenly froze in shock. She quickly stepped forward to dissuade, “Mrs.

Lockhart, perhaps it’s best if you drop the idea. Just let me prepare the packed lunch. You’ve never done household chores, so how could you possibly handle this?”

The crux of the matter was that cooking required the use of a knife. If Madelyn were accidentally injured. Lydia wouldn’t know how to explain herself for allowing that to happen.

At that moment, Madelyn placed her hands on her hips looking adorably defiant as she argued, “Who –

Her movements were precise and efficient, just like a diligent and virtuous young wife.

Surprisingly. Mrs. Lockhart, who is usually all talk, can actually cook. Lydia was surprised and also a little curious. “Mrs. Lockhart, who did you learn all this from?”

dad was Madelyn chuckled lightly, responding with ease, “I learned it from my mom. Back then, my always out socializing. When he’d come home reeking of alcohol after each event, my mom would take it upon herself to cook him something light,”

Even though Derek ultimately let Grace down, the sheer joy on Grace’s face when she cooked for Derek was something that Madelyn had etched in her heart forever.

At that moment, she was finally able to truly empathize As the steak was nearly perfectly seared, it was time to flip it over. Madelyn carefully used the spatula to turn the steak.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a droplet of oil suddenly splattered out.

“Ah!” Madelyn abruptly pulled back her hand, feeling a surge of intense pain coursing through it.

Lydia was also taken aback and hurriedly asked, “Mrs. Lockhart, are you all right?”

Madelyn, however, simply shook her head. “I’m fine. Just help me flip the steak.”

In the end, the packed lundi was prepared. Madelyn’s and had the dubious honor of sporting a rather sizable blister.

Lydia felt guilty. “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Lockhart. I shouldn’t have let you do it yourself.”

Even though Madelyn had been scalded, her mood remained quite cheerful. She waved her hand dismissively. “It’s no big deal.

It’s just a blister. A little ointment will fix it.”

Lydia promptly fetched the first–aid kit and gently helped Madelyn apply the ointment.

While applying the ointment, Lydia sighed. “Mrs. Lockhart, you’ve truly worked hard for Mr. Lockhart’s sake.

Madelyn, however, was all smiles. “I’m fine. As long as the packed lunch is perfect, I don’t mind getting at couple more blisters.”

Upon hearing those words, Lydia offered a knowing smile.

Afthe medicine was applied, Madelyn didn’t delay. Carrying the packed lunch, she cheerfully set off to deliver food to Sebastian.

She was pleasantly lost in her thoughts, reminiscing about how the wives in the TV dramas would always thoughtfully prepare packed lunches filled with love for their husbands. I wonder how Sebastian will react when he sees me doing this.

After much difficulty, Madelyn finally arrived at Lockhart Group and headed straight for the office.

2/4 11:37 Thu, Apr 32 Chapter 25 Doing Chores For Him +8 Pearls Sebastian’s assistant, Malcolm, had just stepped out when he saw Madelyn. He was slightly taken aback. “Mrs. Lockhart? What brings you here?”

“Where is Sebastian?” Madelyn asked.

“Mr. Lockhart is still in a meeting. It’s a crucial one, and it has already been going on for two hours.” After at moment of thought, Malcolm continued, “Perhaps you should wait for him in the office, Mrs. Lockhart. It shouldn’t take too long.”

Madelyn gladly nodded. “Sure. I’ll wait for him.”

Surprisingly, Madelyn ended up waiting for three hour By the time the sun began to set, Madelyn was lying on the sofa, having fallen asleep from the long wait.

Sebastian was engrossed in the crucial meeting. It involved a plethora of details and, as such, significant amount of time.

consumed It wasn’t until ten in the evening that the meeting finally came to an end. Even Sebastian, who was usually strong and fit, felt somewhat worn out and achy.

At that moment, Malcolm came to report. “Mr. Lockhart, Mrs. Lockhart has been waiting for you in the office since three in the afternoon.”

Upon hearing that. Sebastian furrowed his brows. Had the really come just as she had promised in the afternoon?

And so, Sebastian strode back to his office.

Sure enough, upon entering, he saw Madelyn asleep on the couch, her head tilted to one side.

A blue insulated lunch box, presumably containing the meal she had brought for him, was placed on the coffee table in front of her.

Sebastian originally thought she wouldn’t come, but to his surprise, she had been there since three in the afternoon and waited for him for seven hours.

With a slight furrow in his brow, Sebastian found himself touched as he looked at Madelyn. Consequently, he moved to stand beside her.

Madelyn seemed to have a restless sleep. Her petite face twitched, her eyes constantly moving beneath closed lids, seemingly because she felt cold.

Therefore, Sebastian immediately removed his coat, gently draping it over her.

As a result, the moment the coat came into contact with Madelyn’s body, she woke up, her eyes hazy and confused.

Upon seeing Sebastian, she was suddenly filled with joy and her sleepiness completely vanished.

“Sebastian, you’re done with your work? You must be starving, right? I’ve prepared a packed lunch for you. Come and have some quickly!”

As Madelyn spoke, she opened the lunch box. Seeing the steam still rising from the food, she patted her chest in relief.
