Madeline thought she had misheard.

She was still in a daze when they got back to the top floor of Republic Garden.

She thought, “What kind of temptation is this? Could it be the kind of thing where I get abducted? But would Steven really abduct a poor, penniless student like me?”

Isabelle had prepared a meal for Madeline. “Maddie, come and have dinner.”

She added, “Remember to drink the soup and take your medicine tonight.”

Isabelle came over.

After Madeline finished her meal, Isabelle got ready to leave-

Madeline was stunned. “Are you leaving?”

“Of course! I don’t work the night shift. I’ll come over tomorrow morning to cook for you.” Isabelle conveyed the joy of leaving work perfectly and left without hesitation.

Madeline looked at the master bedroom door.

Steven had just gone in to change his clothes.

Madeline mused, “Seriously? Just me and Steven alone?”

Steven walked out of the room. He was dressed casually, complementing his long legs and perfect body proportions.

He sat across the table coldly.

“You’ll stay in the room you were in last night.”

Madeline took a sip of the soup. “Okay,”

She hesitated for a moment. “Do I need to do your laundry, mop the floor, or cook…?”

“Mary will come to clean during the day.”

Madeline drank the soup silently as she thought, “All right then. Maybe he just pitied me and felt sorry for me. After a few days, he might get annoyed and ask me to leave. For now, I’ll just stay here and save on accommodation costs.”

She took her phone, looked at the 1,600 dollars on her card, and silently used it to pay the tuition fee.

She thought, “1,570.”

She was speechless.

There were only 200 dollars left.

She still needed money to buy textbooks.

Madeline glanced at Steven–secretly with her amber eyes. “He’s really my savior! I might have been sleeping on the streets by now if it weren’t for him.”

“You’re so nice.
