Reborn to My Engagement Night Chapter 51 Striving To Match Him During this meal, Marsha was extremely agitated and restless.

Finished Isn’t Madelyn acting rather odd? How did she suddenly become so attentive? Where has the previously arrogant, domineering, and willful young lady disappeared to?

The more Marsha thought about it, the more confused she became. So, after dinner, filled with suspicion, Marsha called Sebastian upstairs to question him.

“Sebastian? What’s going on with her? Why does she suddenly seem like a different person?”

However, Sebastian could only respond helplessly, “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Marsha seemed a bit incredulous. After some thought, she could only agree, saying, “Okay, but you must remember to be more careful in the future. Don’t ever let her trick you like this again. This girl, she’s full of tricks.”

Upon hearing this, Sebastian gave a slight nod. Yet, his gaze held a deep complexity.

He had initially planned that as long as Madelyn didn’t stir up trouble, everything would be smooth sailing. Yet, surprisingly, she turned out to be so proactive.

Suddenly, Sebastian found himself increasingly unable to decipher her.

Meanwhile, Madelyn was in the living room, chit–chatting with her grandparents.

Madelyn was frank and quick–witted, which delighted Agnes to no end.

Meanwhile, Sebastian’s grandfather, Steven Lockhart, was patiently brewing coffee on the side. He didn’t have many hobbies in his life, but what he loved most was savoring coffee.

At that moment, the water was boiling. The old man, having nothing to do, remarked, “Brewing coffee, you see, is all about patience. If you’re impatient, you can’t make a good cup of coffee, just as you can’t accomplish great things if you’re too hasty.”

Listening from the side, Madelyn found herself nodding in agreement, feeling that what he said made sense.

Suddenly, Madelyn bravely offered, “Shall I make the coffee for you?”

Upon hearing this, the old man couldn’t help but express his surprise, “Do you know how?”

Agnes was also somewhat puzzled.

However, Madelyn spoke with great optimism. “Although I’ve never made coffee myself, my father is quite the coffee enthusiast.

He often enjoys a cup or two at home during his leisure time. Having observed him over time, I don’t think it would be too difficult for me.”

Upon hearing these words, Steven simply nodded. “All right, then you may proceed.”

Following that, he vacated his spot for Madelyn.

Finished A few minutes later, when the coffee was likely steeped enough, she lifted the drip bag, and the coffee was ready.

Watching her make coffee in such an orderly manner, the elderly couple felt a deep sense of comfort and *atisfaction.

Unbelievably, just as Madelyn picked up the coffee cup, she didn’t grip it tightly enough. The whole cup ended up crashing onto the tray.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, water splashed everywhere, and scalding coffee splashed onto Madelyn’s hand, causing her to let out a cry of pain from the surprise.

Upon seeing the situation, Steven and Agnes were immediately terrified. They rushed forward to check. “Child, where are you hurt? Are you okay?”

Not wanting to cause anyone undue concern, Madelyn quickly dismissed the worry with a wave of her hand, assuring them, “I’m fine, I’m fine.”

Immediately, blisters formed on her hand.

In a state of urgency, Agnes called out for her housekeeper. “Bring the first–aid kit, quickly!”

This commotion startled Sebastian, who was upstairs.

Upon seeing Madelyn injured, he was alarmed. With a few swift steps, he dashed down the stairs, “What happened?”

Steven and Agnes were beside themselves with worry. “Madelyn accidentally scalded herself while making coffee just now!”

Madelyn, however, was completely unperturbed. “It’s fine,” she said, “I’ll just apply some ointment later.”

Unexpectedly, Sebastian roughly grabbed her hand and headed straight for the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, cool water flowed over Madelyn’s wound, significantly easing the pain.

“Feeling better?” Sebastian asked.

“Much better now.” Madelyn nodded.

At that moment, Sebastian couldn’t help but reprimand in a cold voice, “Don’t pretend to know things you don’t understand in the future.”

Although it was a scolding, in Madelyn’s heart, it was surprisingly sweet.

If she hadn’t gotten burnt, she would have never realized just how much he cared about her...

After rinsing, Sebastian led Madelyn out and started applying medicine to her hand.

2/4 18:10 Fri, 4 Apr N Chapter 51 Striving To Match Him Unable to resist, she bit her lip and whispered, “Actually, you still care about me, don’t you...”

Unexpectedly, Sebastian paused, instantly stepping back. “You’re overthinking it.”

Wow, tohy is he like this?

Madelyn instantly pouted, thinking to herself that Sebastian was indeed quite proud.

He clearly cared about her, worried about her, but he just wouldn’t admit it.

Finished That being said, after going through this ordeal, Madelyn fully realized just how useless she had been.

I’m clumsy and incapable of doing anything right. Ilow can this possibly work?

What Madelyn aspired to be was someone who was worthy of Sebastian in every aspect.

It seemed that from then on, she really needed to put more effort into improving herself. For instance, attending etiquette classes, learning how to cook and bake... She couldn’t afford to neglect herself like this anymore!

Even if it became necessary, Madelyn was considering learning kickboxing to pick up some self–defense skills.

With that said, if she were to run into a guy like Christopher again, she could toss him over her shoulder without a second thought.

The mere thought of Christopher’s bruised and battered face brought immense joy to Madelyn.

In the blink of an eye, time hurriedly passed, and it was evening.

Seeing that it was getting late, Sebastian decided to take Madelyn home, so he stood up to say goodbye.

“Grandma and Grandpa, Mom and Dad, it’s getting late. We should head back now.”

Upon hearing these words, Agnes felt a pang of reluctance, but she was left without a choice.

“You must bring Madelyn back here more often in the future,” Agnes instructed.

With a smile, Madelyn reassured, “Don’t worry, Grandma, I promise to visit often.”

Agnes gave a nod.

Following that, Madelyn gently took Sebastian’s arm, and they left together.

Unexpectedly, the moment they stepped out the door, Sebastian suddenly withdrew his arm.

Madelyn wore a look of utter astonishment. Wasn’t everything fine just a moment ago? Why did things suddenly take a turn for the worse?

She asked with a hint of dissatisfaction, “Sebastian, what’s really going on with you?”

However, Sebastian paid no mind, he simply made a call and summoned Malcolm over.

Chapter 51 Striving To Match Him Where are you going?” she asked.

Finished “You should head back first, I have another appointment,” Sebastian said, before getting into a different car nearby.

In no time, the car drove off without looking back.

Madelyn couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Good heavens, how can this person get away so fast? Does he despise me so? Is he so averse to being with me?

Watching Sebastian’s retreating figure, Madelyn couldn’t help but furrow her brows, wondering if something had really gone wrong.

And so, Madelyn asked Malcolm, “Malcolm, can you honestly tell me, did something happen?”

Malcolm’s demeanor was icy as he said, “I’m not sure, Mrs. Lockhart. Please get in the car.”
