Chapter 266 An Ambiguous Dinner

Ophelia looked at Carson while saying, “Carson, please don’t mind it. Madeleine did so only because
she knows well about you. She has always been over-concerned. But you have to know that she has
always been nice as well. I suppose only the luckiest guy could have the fortune to marry her. But I am
still worried if that guy would cherish her with enough patience.”

Though Ophelia said in a casual way, her words were all targeting Carson.

“Madeleine is such a gorgeous and considerate one. Of course the guy who has the fortune to marry
her would definitely treasure her. I am sure he won’t fail her.” Said Carson to Ophelia. But obviously, it
was a kind of hint of promise.

Madeleine took a glimpse of both of them. Of course she could tell that they were actually talking about
her just now.

Carson picked up some food for her and said, “Just take more food. You look skinnier than before.”

Madeleine stared at the food in the plate, surprised. Then she took a glimpse at Ophelia. However,
Ophelia still kept her head down while having food. Then Madeleine raised up her head to look at
Carson.

“What’s wrong? You don’t like the food? I do remember that you love chicken, right?” Carson asked
with a smile.

Madeleine looked a bit confused, “How do you know that?”

“I could struggle to know everything as long as I put faith on it.” Carson said.

Hearing that, Madeleine felt like being struck with crush in her heart. Something ambiguous seemed to
appear in her mind.



Just as she had said before, Carson was an excellent gentleman with deadly attractive face and decent
prince-like manner. He was perfect of all time. Of course she would be moved when she noticed that
such a prince charming actually managed to know something about her on his own initiative.

Madeleine earned herself a living as a best-selling author, whose pieces included love stories and even
ghost stories. Though she had created a lot of wonderful love stories, she had hardly been in a nice
relationship with a man before. All the love stories she once got herself involved always ended up
abruptly—she either dumped that guy because of lack of feelings or she was dumped because of her
lack of femininity.

So Madeleine felt like being trapped in a dilemma—though she also had feelings for Carson because of
his active move. However, she was also surrounded by fear as well. And it even overtook her feelings
for Carson. She was so panic just like those in great poverty who were struck by great fortune at the
same time. There was nothing left but worry after delirious feelings. She had no idea what to do when
facing such a great fortune—the love from Carson.

She even felt worse than the old days when she still stayed single. At least she had nothing and no one
to concern about at that time.

Ophelia smiled, “Well, Carson, it seems that you do make quite a lot of efforts for this best-seller
author.”

But Carson just kept picking up food for Madeleine without any response.

Madeleine took a look at Ophelia secretly and said, “Come on, time to continue with your food. Or your
baby will cry for it.”

Ophelia picked up some food and ate it while insinuating, “Well, it tastes unexpectedly good. Perhaps
it’s because of a charming guy who spared the chance to show up.”



Madeleine picked some food for her and mocked, “Come on, don’t forget that you’re married. You have
nothing to do with any other charming guys in the world. Just dump your fancy and get down to your
food.”

Ophelia shook her head and smiled, “Well, I am married indeed. But you are still single. And I believe
that your boss seems to be a nice match for you. Why not consider about my suggestion?”

Madeleine glanced at Ophelia to suggest that she should keep her mouth shut.

Ophelia took another bite of food and looked at Carson, “Carson, I heard from Madeleine that the cover
of her latest novel combined with love and ghost stories has been settled. And it should be released
two months later. Is that true?”

Carson nodded, “Everything about the novel has been settled. It will be released both online and in the
bookstores in two months. Then there will be a great press conference. If the sales were to be as
promising as before, a regular book signing tour would be on schedule immediately. We have spent
quite a lot of efforts on her new novel. I am sure it will be a new record of sales.”

Ophelia nodded, “Well, wish you an unheard-of sales record!”

Carson smiled, “Well, I wish myself a gorgeous wife as soon as possible.”

Ophelia echoed, “The same to you. But it seems that the one hasn’t been settled yet. You’d better keep
trying.”

“Of course.”

Madeleine still kept her head down while focusing on her food.



It took nearly two hours to finish the meal. When they got out of the restaurant, the sky went dark and
all lights in the city went on with warm glows.

Carson indicated as a gentleman, “Ladies, would you like to take a ride home?”

Ophelia looked at Madeleine. Then Madeleine said, “Thanks. But we have a car. So we won’t bother
you.”

Carson nodded, “Okay, take care on your way home. I am glad to have dinner with you today. But next
time please spare the chance for me to pay the bill. I also enjoy the feelings to handle the treat as a
gentleman.”

Ophelia smiled, “Okay, next time the treat will be on you. But I hope that you could show up with
another title next time more than ‘the boss of Madeleine’.”
