Chapter 30
Andrew took Madelyn straight upstairs and helped her shower before putting her on the bed.
Just then, his phone vibrated.
Madelyn peered muzzily at him and saw his expression change. slightly when he glanced at the number.
He took the phone out to the balcony.
Very soon, she heard Andrew’s voice from outside. His tone was deep and dangerous, and it was in complete contrast to his passion from a few minutes ago. “Deal with it, no matter what the price is!”
Madelyn heard him raging, and she became slightly more awake. She glanced outside, wondering who had made him that angry.
However, the balcony doors were closed, and she could not hear anything else.
Very soon, Andrew ended the call and came in. Madelyn had been fast asleep, but she was now sitting on the bed, looking groggy.
“Why are you awake?” Andrew’s expression stiffened for a second before he relaxed and went to sit next to her.
Madelyn sniffed. “Who called?”
Andrew was startled. He hadn’t expected her to ask.
After all, in the past, she had never asked anything about who was calling him. Hearing her ask him that question so seriously, he smiled. and caressed her face fondly. “It was just something about work.”
“Oh.” Madelyn really was tired. After hearing Andrew say that it was about work, she turned and burrowed into the quilt once more. Before long, she was fast asleep.

Madelyn reached out to touch him and asked in displeasure, “Did you spend the entire night having meetings?”
Madelyn struggled to put distance between them. “Don’t even try to gloss over it. You’re not allowed to go to the office today.”
“That won’t do. I’ve got an important meeting today.”
Madelyn was even angrier. She knew that he was a workaholic, but she hadn’t expected it to be this bad! She put her arms around his neck and held him tightly.
“No!” she said firmly.
There was a darkness in Andrew’s eyes. When he saw that she remained firm, he asked, “Shall I take you to the office with me?”
“No!”
