No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 137

Only then did Jane notice Madelyn. She then shifted her gaze and said calmly, “It’s fine. Just eat our food and ignore it.”

“There’s nothing we could do,” she said.

Lila could only keep his eyes off Madelyn and Layne.

Lila thought to herself, “If Madelyn dared to cause trouble for Janie again, hmph… I would fly into a rage and splash the sour plum juice on her face!”

“Forget it, little Maddie. Ignore them. Let’s eat our food.”

It was a rare opportunity for Layne to be invited by Madelyn. He finally got to bring her to dinner. Hence, the two of them could spend time alone.

He didn’t want to ruin the date because of Jane.

Layne and Jane had the same thoughts.

They just pretended as if nothing happened.

Madelyn did not move.

She did not hear what Layne had just said.

Her gaze was fixed on Hugh’s back.

That figure was what Madelyn has been yearning for.

In fact, Madelyn had only met Hugh twice since she was young.

However, that was enough for Madelyn to engrave that figure in her heart for the rest of her life.

It was the most important memory in her life.

Madelyn secretly took many photos of Hugh.

A lot of them were his side profiles and backshots.

That was because Hugh was very sensitive..

If Madelyn secretly took photos of Hugh’s front, it would be easy for Hugh to notice that.

Apparently, Madelyn was very obsessed with Hugh.

Just by looking at his back, she could recognize him right away.

There was no way Madelyn could not recognize him.

“Little Maddie…”

Layne frowned when he saw Madelyn staring at the back view in front of him.

He suddenly had an urge as he felt his dignity was challenged.

Only then did Madelyn come back to her senses. She secretly swallowed her saliva and pretended to be calm as she pointed at Hugh’s back. “Hmm… Layne is that… Hugh?”

Not only Hugh was there.

There were others too.

Connor and Robert were there too!
