Chapter 38 The Third Wheel

“Ms. Tuffin, where are you going? Let me give you a ride,” Annalise said to Madeline at the entrance of the hotel.

Madeline stretched out her hand to flick her hair while twisting her waist. “No need. I’ll be playing cards with friends all night.”

At that time, there was no reason for her to be a third wheel.

For a woman like Annalise who had just had a breakup, the best way for her now was to find a better man than her ex-boyfriend and fall in love with him immediately. With that, she would be healed in no time. “All night again? Staying up late really hurts your body.” Annalise reminded Madeline.

Madeline replied coquettishly, “Don’t I have you to take care of me? All right, I’m going to play cards now.”

She leaned closer to Annalise and teased her, “Women at their young age should go dating and be nourished by love. Go ahead.”

“Ms. Tuffin, it’s not what you think. We’re not… Annalise explained anxiously.

With a knowing look on Madeline’s face, she couldn’t hide the smile on her lips.

“It’s really not…” Annalise didn’t know how to explain.

Madeline raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face and waved her hand at Julian. “Goodbye, Mr. Parks!”

“Let’s go, Julian said to Annalise

“You don’t have to send me off. I can drive myself home,” Annalise replied.

I’m a little hungry. Shall we go eat something first?” Julian gently asked Annalise’s opinion.

The charity gala started at eight o’clock. Four hours had passed.

“Then, I’ll treat you,” Annalise immediately said.

She would return the necklace to him later and also transfer to him the money for Madeline’s perfume, which cost 882 thousand dollars.

“Okay. Then, I want to eat something better. Is that fine? Julian looked at Annalise with a smile on his face.

“Of course,” Annalise responded.

Julian’s gaze was too gentle, and she immediately averted her eyes from him, for she was afraid of falling in love with him.

“Let’s go to Love Ocean Restaurant then,” Julian suggested.

Annalise felt slightly reluctant to go there, as Love Ocean Restaurant was a restaurant for couples.
