Chapter 73 Fully Devoted

Upon hearing this, Christopher became a little irritable. “What’s it to you? I have my own plans.”

“Your own plans? I think you’re just incapable of winning her over, aren’t you?” Janessa scoffed.

Christopher shot her a glare. “Stop jinxing it! Madelyn is really into me, so I can definitely win her over!”

Upon hearing these words, Janessa couldn’t help but sneer. “Really? Then why don’t you tell me what your plan is?”

Since the two of them were collaborating, Christopher thought it was unnecessary to keep her in the dark. And so, he said, “Isn’t Madelyn’s birthday just a few days away? When the time comes, I’ll take matters into my own hands and completely win her over.”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Janessa again, adding, “You might be able to back me up then. Make sure to give me a hand when the time comes.”

Upon hearing these words, Janessa couldn’t help but be taken aback. After taking a moment to calculate the dates in her mind, she suddenly realized that Madelyn’s birthday was indeed a few days away. Janessa had completely forgotten about it, but Christopher remembered it so well.

She cast a sidelong glance at Christopher, unable to resist asking, “Christopher, didn’t you used to dislike Madelyn? How come you can even remember her birthday now?”

Upon hearing these words, Christopher suddenly let out a hearty laugh. “I truly didn’t fancy her before. With her being so unsophisticated, what man would find that appealing? I’m not that eccentric, okay? Besides, she used to be too obedient toward me. She’d listen to whatever I said and was always at my beck and call. I can’t stand women who lack their own opinion,” Christopher said with a hint of arrogance.

Following that, Christopher couldn’t help but think about the present. Every time he saw Madelyn, he was almost always left in awe by her beauty. On top of that, she played hard to get and refused to admit defeat. Christopher couldn’t help but acknowledge that she had a certain charm about her at times. One could even say it was captivating, so that it was hard to resist.

“Things are different now. After all, Madelyn looks so attractive. If I could have a good time with her, why wouldn’t I enjoy it?” Christopher continued.

Upon hearing these words, Janessa remained silent on the outside, but a deep-seated jealousy was brewing inside her heart. What’s so great about Madelyn? She’s unlearned and incompetent! She’s nothing but a fool! Her intelligence doesn’t even match a tenth of mine! I can’t understand why each and every one of them is so unyieldingly devoted to her! Why is this even happening?

Afterwards, she left through the back door of the café and hailed a cab, heading straight to the kickboxing gym.

After arriving at the kickboxing gym, she found that Skylar from yesterday, who had a rather amusing appearance, was also there.

Upon seeing Madelyn, Skylar was quite pleased, his tone notably relaxed as he remarked, “Good job. You’re quite punctual for your first lesson.”

As he spoke, two sharp little canines were revealed, his eyes narrowing into slits.

Upon seeing his amusing appearance, Madelyn’s mood also began to lighten up. And so, with the sweetest tone, she said, “Of course! It’s your class, after all. There’s no way I could be late.”

Upon hearing her words, Skylar was filled with such joy that he couldn’t help but laugh. Then, from the side, he took out a white training uniform that had been prepared in advance.

“This is yours. Go ahead and change into it. See you in a bit!” With that, Skylar handed Madelyn the training uniform.

Madelyn held the training uniform in her hands, felt the smooth fabric, and gave a firm nod.

Following that, she went to the changing room. There were a few unfamiliar female students in the dressing room, busy getting changed. Upon seeing Madelyn arrive, they gave her an indescribable glance. Madelyn could clearly sense a hint of subtle hostility.

Following that, she waited until they had all left before she tied up her soft, long hair and then changed her clothes.

After changing her clothes and returning, Skylar suddenly let out a whistle. “Regroup!”

In an instant, dozens of students rose from various corners and gathered in front of Skylar, forming neat lines of ranks.

Upon witnessing the spectacle, Madelyn also mingled into the crowd. Following everyone’s lead, she successfully found her own spot, fitting in seamlessly.

However, everyone could clearly feel that there was a unique presence among them. Standing among the crowd, Madelyn’s aura was exceptionally striking. Despite everyone wearing the same training uniform, she somehow managed to make it look exceptionally good on her. After she tied up her hair, she looked incredibly refreshing, neat, and strikingly bright.

Following that Skylar said, “When learning kickboxing the most crucial aspect is the basics. Today I will…”

Following that, Skylar began to teach them some fundamental moves such as punches, kicks, side positions, and so on. The aim was to first get everyone started on the most elementary strength training.

Madelyn found herself a spot and began to train with earnest dedication. It was then that she realized kickboxing was not as simple as it appeared. Every action required exertion.

At that time, Skylar was busy roaming around, checking to see if any of his students were slacking off. Upon seeing Madelyn, he couldn’t help but nod in approval, giving a thumbs up before walking away.

Two hours later, Madelyn was drenched in sweat, appearing as though she had just taken a bath. However, after sweating profusely, her complexion had taken on a healthy glow.

Exhausted, Madelyn took a moment to rest on the ground, sipping some water. Skylar saw her resting here and came over, asking with concern, “How are you feeling?”

Madelyn let out a hearty laugh. “I’m exhausted, but it feels amazing.”

“That’s good. It’s indeed going to feel tedious and exhausting when you first start practicing. I hope you can persevere, though. Keep going!”

Skylar clenched his fists and looked at her with encouragement. Madelyn also clenched her fist as she replied, “I’ll do my best!”

After taking a brief break and feeling mostly recovered, she went back to Maxton’s place.

The moment she stepped in, she happened to catch sight of Maxton engaged in a conversation with a woman. Although there was some distance between them, it was not hard to discern that the woman was exceptionally beautiful. In contrast, Maxton appeared significantly more aloof. His handsome face was akin to an iceberg, giving off an icy cold aura that made people shiver just by looking at him.

After a moment of thought, Madelyn decided to move forward. In a soft voice, she said, “I’m here, Coach Wendel.”

Upon hearing these words, Maxton turned around to see Madelyn. Surprisingly, his expression softened without him realizing it. “Okay.”

The woman who had just spoken, upon seeing Madelyn, immediately adopted an arrogant demeanor, her eyes clearly filled with hostility. In reality the woman who had been discussing her in secret that day was this very same stunning and…
