Chapter 297 Been Too Lenient With You Lately

Finished

Josiah was completely stunned. He had never imagined that there would be so many people in the world who actually cared about him. For all those years in the past, he always felt like he was fighting a solitary

battle.

At that very moment, he suddenly felt less alone. As he looked at Madelyn, an inexplicable warmth filled his heart.

“Hey, hey, hey, why are you staring at me like that? You’re not overwhelmed just because I complimented you a few times, are you?” Madelyn said, observing Josiah intently.

The wave of emotion that Josiah had painstakingly brewed evaporated in an instant. Staring at Madelyn, he blurted out, “Seriously, have you ever seen anyone as narcissistic as you?

“I’m not being narcissistic; I’m just stating the facts, okay? You’re so much better than Hayden, you just lack confidence, Madelyn said, her face brightening into a grin. “But don’t worry, I’ll be there at Old Mr. Blume’s birthday. If Hayden dares to show off in front of you then, just watch how I’ll deal with him!”

She spoke these words while playfully swinging her tiny fist in the air.

Josiah couldn’t suppress his laughter.

Josiah observed her receding figure, his gaze lingering on her in a dazed wonder for a moment longer.

That girl is becoming more remarkable by the day.

This scene did not go unnoticed by Tristan, who squinted his eyes and flashed an ambiguous smile before leaning in to whisper, “Tell me honestly, have you faller for Madelyn?”

“Actually, I think she’d be a great match for you. Sure, she can be quite forthright and sometimes even more audacious than most men, but she really complements you well,” Tristan added.

hearing these words, Josiah was initially startled, then abruptly burst out in anger. “F*ck
