Chapter 222:

Derek took a sip of water, hesitating whether to tell Madeline about the business. Then, he opted to remain silent, keeping his thoughts to himself. Madeline, lacking any business acumen, wouldn’t grasp the complexities he dealt with daily. What was the point in explaining if she wouldn’t understand?
