Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 351

Madeleine watched as Nathan's expression remained unfazed, a sense of relief washing over her. What she feared the most was that once Janice recovered, Nathan might return to his old love. After all, back in the day, the couple was affectionate.

If it wasn't for Janice's mental breakdown and her inability to fulfill her duties as the matriarch, coupled with Madeleine's shameless pursuit of Nathan, he wouldn't have accepted her, allowing her to accompany him to various social events, assuming the responsibilities of a matriarch.

She had worked so hard and endured so much for so long she couldn't let all of it go to waste.

Seeing Nathan's expression, Madeleine felt slightly relieved, believing that it was impossible for Nathan and Janice to return to their old ways. Janice may have aged well, but she was nearing fifty. How could she compete with Madeleine's youthful twenty-six?

To Nathan, she was a flower in full bloom.

Compared to a wilting flower, everyone preferred a blooming one.

As Nathan opened the door to his room, Madeleine followed him in.

There was no scent of incense in the room yet.

The aphrodisiac incense was still in her purse.

And her purse was in her bedroom.

This wasn't Madeleine's first time in Nathan's room. She walked over to the wardrobe like a wife would, picked out some clean clothes for Nathan, and then proceeded to the bathroom, where she prepared a bath for him. Calling out, "Nathan, I've got your bath ready, go freshen up."

Nathan grunted in acknowledgment.

He stood at the bathroom door, watching Madeleine, his mind filled with images of Janice, who used to take care of him in the same way.

A sweet scent filled the air.

Snapping back to reality, Nathan found Madeleine already in front of him.

"What are you thinking about?"

Madeleine noticed him staring at her with a gentle gaze, a smile tugging at his lips. She involuntarily softened her expression, her eyes filled with tender affection.

She reached for his collar with both hands, ready to help him unbutton his shirt.
