Reborn to My Engagement Night Chapter 111 We Might Be Followed

“What were you two discussing just now?” Madelyn asked curiously when they came out.

“It’s nothing,” Sebastian said with exceptional calmness.

“Really?” Madelyn asked, her face full of confusion. “Why do I get the feeling that you two are being secretive, as if you’re hiding something from me?”

She had seen the look of concern that had crossed Wesley’s face just a moment ago with her own eyes, and Sebastian’s expression at that time had been equally grave.

She wouldn’t believe that they hadn’t been chatting about something.

In the end, Madelyn asked with a hint of suspicion, “Did Wesley speak ill of me again?”

“No.” Sebastian calmly shook his head.

“It has nothing to do with you. It’s just about work.”

“All right, then.” Since he had said it that way, Madelyn had no choice but to believe him.

After that, no further questions were asked, and the two of them got into the car together.

On the way home, Madelyn was somewhat exhausted. She lay down in the car, letting out a weary sigh. “Ah, I’m so tired today.”

Sebastian naturally knew what had happened.

How could she not be tired after training for so long?

However, he didn’t plan to say much. He simply stated, “If you’re tired, take a rest. I’ll wake you up when we get home.”

Madelyn gave a dazed hum of acknowledgment, then closed her eyes.

Perhaps she was too exhausted, for she fell asleep in less than two minutes.

At that moment, her head, seemingly beyond her control, fell onto Sebastian’s broad and sturdy shoulder.

Sebastian’s heart skipped a beat.

Turning to look, he realized that she had already drifted off to sleep.

Her features were naturally delicate. As she slept, her lips slightly pursed, she looked even more like a child who refused to grow up.

Sebastian’s heart unexpectedly softened for a moment.

However, Madelyn seemed to be sleeping in a slightly twisted position, which looked odd.

Sebastian subtly shifted his position, adjusting his posture so that Madelyn could lean in more comfortably.

When they arrived home, Madelyn was still asleep.

Sebastian simply carried her upstairs and then gently placed her on the bed.

After everything was done, he quietly sat by the bed, watching her.

The room was eerily quiet, so much so that even the sound of each other’s breath could be heard.

Sebastian was lost in thought for quite some time.

After a while, he moved closer with an emotionless face and gently placed a light kiss on her lips.

Madelyn didn’t show the slightest reaction. She was still soundly asleep.

Sebastian looked at her, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

Then he turned around and walked away.

The next day, when Madelyn woke up, Sebastian had already left for work.

A warm cup of milk still sat on the table, most likely brought over by Sebastian not too long ago.

The milk was still steaming.

A wave of inexplicable warmth washed over Madelyn’s heart.

She quickly freshened up, downed her milk in one go, and then headed off to school.

Because her foot was still not healed, she continued to walk with a limp.

Jillian was a bit worried. “Madelyn, what happened to your leg?”

“I accidentally twisted my ankle, but it’s nothing serious,” Madelyn said nonchalantly with a laugh.

Only then did Jillian breathe a sigh of relief and give a nod.

“By the way, you mentioned coming over for dinner yesterday, but you didn’t show up. Did something urgent come up?”

Madelyn was taken aback.

Shoot, I fell asleep on the way home yesterday and completely forgot about this matter!

She immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Jillian. I was injured yesterday and was resting at home. I completely forgot about this! Oh dear, my mind is just like a sieve.”

After speaking, she looked at Jillian with a hint of nervousness. “Jillian, do you think your mom will be upset with me?”

Jillian chuckled softly. “Why would she? My mom and I can’t thank you enough. But if you’re free today, how about we head to my place for dinner after class?”

Madelyn nodded and agreed readily, then got ready for class.

After the class representative finished…

Why didn’t Janessa come?

Her classmates exchanged bewildered glances as well.

“Janessa has never missed a class, right?”

“Yeah, could she possibly be running late?”

“Who knows?”

Madelyn couldn’t help but chuckle to herself as she listened to her classmates’ discussions.

It must be because of what happened yesterday. She must have been through quite an ordeal, which led to her missing class.

Madelyn was elated. Her smile was even brighter than the sunlight streaming in through the window.

In the afternoon, Madelyn and Jillian traveled together, heading to her place for dinner.

It was still early, so the pair wandered leisurely, engaging in lively conversation and often erupting into laughter.

Madelyn couldn’t resist pulling out her phone, wanting to capture the moment with a selfie of the two of them.

At that moment, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a few suspicious figures lurking behind through the reflection on her phone.

Madelyn felt a chill traveling down her spine.

She remembered seeing those individuals right after she stepped out of the university.

The attire of those individuals suggested they were middle-aged. They seemed to be idling, yet they never strayed far from them.

Madelyn couldn’t help but raise her guard. She lowered her voice and said, “Jillian, we might be followed.”

Jillian was shocked. “No way…”

She was about to turn around to look when Madelyn hastily whispered, “Don’t look back!”

“They’ll realize we noticed them if we turn around. If they catch up, we won’t be able to escape.”

After Madelyn finished speaking, she gently led her on as they continued their leisurely stroll.

The two of them acted as if nothing was amiss, feigning complete ignorance of the fact that they were being followed.

The people trailing behind assumed they were oblivious to their presence, so they continued to follow at a leisurely pace.

Madelyn…

“…You should head in a while. Don’t worry about me. They’re definitely targeting me.”

Jillian immediately rejected the idea, “No way! How can I possibly leave you here alone? What if something were to happen to you?”

Madelyn felt a warm sensation in her heart.

Yet, she calmly reassured her, “Jillian, trust me. I’ll be all right. The streets are crowded at the moment. They won’t dare to make a move. But give it some time, they’ll definitely strike. So, you must escape!”

“But what will you do if I leave?” Jillian asked, her eyes welling up with tears in her desperation.

Madelyn’s gaze was unwavering. “Listen to me, my foot is injured, and I certainly can’t run. There’s a fork in the road up ahead, near which is a police station. When we get there, you need to run straight away and alert the authorities. Ask them to come rescue me, all right? This is the only plan we have right now!”

Jillian hesitated for a couple of seconds before giving a nod.

She knew this was the only thing she could do.

With tears glistening in her eyes, she said, “Madelyn, promise me, you must take care of yourself until I return!”
