Chapter 40

In the morning, everyone got up early.

With dark circles around his eyes, Henry found Madeline in the restaurant.

She was pouring soybean milk.

"Madeline." he called her. "I've got something to tell you."

Madeline turned around and glanced at him. "Just say it"

"About Henry was about to tell her something

"Henry, you're awake. Why are you so late today?" Upon hearing the noise, Winslet ran over and took Henry's arm. "I have been waiting for you for a long time. We are going to play together today. Have you forgotten?" Henry looked at Madeline, hesitating

"Henry, come help me choose a house. We're staying overnight at the mountain retreat tonight," she said.

Madeline smiled. "Don't worry about me"

Henry frowned and was taken away by Winslet

He could only persuade Madeline later.

Madeline's hand was scalded by the soybean milk. She shook her wrist and wiped it with a tissue

On the inner side of her arm, there were clearly some scars that had already faded in color.

"Hey, I kindly reminded you, and this is your attitude?" Lucas said in a dissatisfied tone.

Madeline chuckled and looked up at Lucas "Do I need to thank you for reminding me?"

"What else?" Lucas held a straw and took out a bottle of milk from the fridge. "By the way do you play games?"

He wondered, "If not, how could there be two people in the world with such similar voices?"

"Yes"

Lucas was stunned and looked at Madeline's back.

"Maybe it was just a coincidence?" he thought to himself.
