Chapter 46
Chapter 46:
The restaurant was abuzz with whispers, as the patrons couldn’t help but speculate about Madisyn and Andrew.
“Is she some kind of heiress?” one woman muttered.
“Look at that guy with her,” another added. “Is he just a pretty boy she keeps around for fun?”
“He’s gorgeous! Bet he’s with her for the money. That’s the dream, right? To be rich enough to pick anyone we want!”
Madisyn felt a jolt of surprise at the bold assumptions people were making. She shot a quick glance at Andrew, expecting him to show signs of irritation, but his expression remained calm, unbothered by the attention. His composure spoke volumes about his experience in the public eye.
Andrew caught the subtle change in her expression. “What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice even.
Madisyn smirked, her voice playful as she teased, “I was just thinking… once I make enough money, I’ll have as many pretty boys as I want.”
Andrew’s eyes darkened slightly, his tone lowering. “Really?”
A chill ran down Madisyn’s spine, and she laughed nervously, quickly adding, “I’m kidding, of course.”
“Good,” Andrew replied, his intense aura dissipating as he relaxed.
Madisyn clicked her tongue in silent frustration. Andrew could be truly intimidating when he wanted to be. Why did he seem to take offense to such a lighthearted joke? Was it just his nature, or was there something deeper?
Shaking off her thoughts, they ordered and settled into a comfortable conversation as their food arrived. The restaurant wasn’t extravagant, but the food had always been one of Madisyn’s favorites.
Midway through their meal, another luxury car pulled up outside, turning heads. Jenna and Gilbert emerged, drawing attention from those around them. Jenna, with her air of unspoken satisfaction, seemed to bask in the admiring gazes.

“Gilbert, I used to come here often,” Jenna said with a hint of nostalgia. “It may not be fancy, but the food is top-notch.”
Gilbert smiled warmly, clearly charmed by her. “Then I’m excited to try it. You always have an eye for the best spots, Jenna.”
Jenna giggled, her pride evident. “I’m not one to chase money. It’s the experience that counts.”
As they walked inside, Jenna’s attention was drawn to a striking car parked next to theirs. “Look at that car—it’s stunning,” she remarked. “What brand is it?”
Gilbert glanced at the vehicle and responded with admiration, “That’s an exclusive custom-made model. More expensive than a Lamborghini or Rolls-Royce.”
“Seems we’re not the only ones with refined tastes,” Jenna mused. She had chosen this restaurant not just for the food but to remind everyone from her past life that she had made it.
As they sat and ordered, Jenna overheard whispers from a nearby table about a “pretty boy.” Curious, she scanned the room and froze when she spotted Madisyn sitting nearby—with an incredibly handsome man.
“Madisyn?” Jenna’s voice rose in shock.
Gilbert turned and saw her too. His attention was immediately drawn to the man with Madisyn. Even from a distance, the guy radiated a noble, almost intimidating allure.
“Could it be that Madisyn picked up a boy toy after you broke her heart?” Jenna asked with a mocking tone, her brow furrowing in feigned concern.
Gilbert’s expression hardened. “I can’t believe she would stoop so low. Doesn’t she realize these men could have STDs?”
“Oh, poor Madisyn,” Jenna sighed dramatically. “She used to be so composed. How could she let herself fall apart like this?”noveldrama
Gilbert’s discomfort grew. Part of him wondered if Madisyn had changed because of their breakup. Maybe she was more affected by it than he had realized.
As Jenna excused herself to go to the restroom, Gilbert seized the opportunity to approach Madisyn’s table. His steps faltered slightly as he neared. The man sitting across from her was even more striking up close—sharp features, natural charisma, and an air of confidence that was impossible to ignore.
