Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 33

As I lay on the hard bed, my mind was a chaotic mess. I couldn't sleep.

In the end, I picked up my phone and opened Instagram, seeing messages. from Kara and Gordon.

Kara had texted, "Maddie, today was hectic, but I've finished all the tasks you've assigned. You owe me a wedding favor as a reward. Congratulations on your marriage. I wish you a lifetime of happiness." Reading this message, I smiled wryly but didn't reply.

I then opened Gordon's message. "Ms. Crown, don't misunderstand Mr. Gildon. Please don't bring up any issues with him, or I'll be in big trouble.

I ignored that message too and decided to post an Instagram story. I found a picture of the amusement park shadow I had taken. I then posted it with at caption, "Happy annual leave!"

After posting, I deleted every post related to Chris.

My actions resembled those of celebrities after a divorce.

We were no longer a couple and would never be lovers. So, it was best to clear away all traces of love, sparing myself and others from disgust.

By the time I finished, it was 3:00 am, and my eyes were sore. I tossed my phone aside and closed my eyes.

Just then, I heard footsteps outside, passing my door. Then, there was the sound of a door opening and closing. I knew Brandon had returned.

Despite sleeping late, I woke up early due to the noise outside. My eyelids felt heavy, making it hard for me to open them. So, I stayed in bed even though I was awake.

"Brandon, can you come back early tonight? I want to invite the new tenant for dinner," Kelly's voice made me smile even though I was half-asleep.

She was so enthusiastic and even wanted to invite me for dinner. It felt nice, like being back home.
