The following morning, Madelyn stirred from her slumber, her eyes squinting against the unexpected flood of sunlight streaming through the windows.

She glanced around, finding the other side of the bed empty. Sebastian was nowhere in sight, leading her to conclude he must have already left for work.

Still feeling the remnants of sleep clinging to her, Madelyn freshened up, a growing sense of hunger gnawing at her stomach. Without bothering to change cut of her pajamas, she headed downstairs in search of something to eat.

Unknown to her, Sebastian was actually at home, seated in the dining area enjoying breakfast. An early morning visitor had also arrived, adding an unexpected twist to the day.

The guest was none other than Wesley Gilbert, Sebastian’s right–hand man at work and one of his closest confidants. Currently, Wesley was indulging in a passionate monologue next to Sebastian.

Currently, Wesley was seated next to Sebastian, engaging in an unfiltered rant.

“Sebastian, as your buddy, I just can’t stand by and watch this anymore! Look at your so–called fiancée, still gallivanting around after your engagement. And here you are, just returning obediently. What are you doing back here? Trying to play the part of a dutiful husband? But even if you perform the role perfectly, there has to be someone who appreciates it, right?” Wesley’s voice carried a mix of concern and frustration.

Wesley was not one to often speak his mind, but once he started, it seemed he couldn’t stop. His words grew more fervent with each sentence.

“I’ve heard all about your fiancée’s daily escapades. And you? Just sitting at home like some lonely widower? I can’t understand it. Typically, it’s the man who’s out and about. How come it’s the other way around with you?”

Despite Wesley’s impassioned speech, Sebastian continued eating his breakfast nonchalantly, seemingly indifferent to the tirade.

Wesley, feeling a surge of frustration from Sebastian’s lack of response, let out a deep sigh. “Ah! What on earth did that wornan do to bewitch you so? Why are you so stubbornly fixated? As the saying goes, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Why insist on being hung up on one woman? There’s a whole world out there for you to explore, yet you’re rejecting it all for one dumb woman! What a waste!”

Engrossed in his own speech, Wesley failed to notice Madelyn, who had by then quietly descended the stairs and was standing right behind him.

It wasn’t until Madelyn’s tone turned icy, a chilling remark slipping from her lips, that he became aware of her presence. “Who are you calling a dumb woman?”
