Chapter 85
Seeing Madison’s expressionless face, Amelia leaned in as well, and the three women sat together like a gathering of close friends.
Amelia said, “Let me tell you, sister-in-law, when President Grant falls in love, he’s the kind who warms your heart. He’ll take care of everything, from food to entertainment, and show concern for your both at home and outside. Your main responsibility as his girlfriend is to be beautiful and successful in your career. Even in his busiest moments, he can split his heart into eight petals and give you one or two, making you feel incredibly warm, happy, and loved.”
Jessica silently handed over the water she hadn’t drunk, “…Take a sip?”
She’s such a smooth talker.
She’s praising him so much!
Amelia shamelessly accepted the water.
“I have to ask, the way you described him, is it really my big brother? Jessica’s eyebrows furrowed. “My half-brother with the same father but different mother, and the opposite sex?”
“Of course! Besides President Grant, can you find another man in this world who is as wise and powerful as my magnificent boss?” Amelia said confidently.
Jessica pouted, “He has never shown me that kind of care. Can you stop with the false advertising? I’ll report you for committing a crime.”
Amelia lost her smile, “Are you two really siblings? Why do I feel like you’re even more unfamiliar with my brother than I am?”
“Cough, alright, I get it,” Madison quickly interrupted their argument.
Amelia refused to back down, “You’re his sister! His half-sister! She’s his future wife! Can you compare?”
Jessica felt her status being ignored.
The two fell silent for a while and then, quite in sync, shifted their attention to Madison, who was lost in her thoughts.
Seeing the two of them suddenly surrounding her, Madison
instinctively moved back.
“Do you like her brother?”
“Do you like my brother?”
“?”
Madison took a deep breath, “I’m tired, I need rest.”
“Your eyes are brighter than both of ours, why are you tired?” Amelia grabbed her.
Jessica grabbed one of Madison’s legs, “You have to explain! W did you suddenly ask about my brother? Did you start missing him o of nowhere?”
“I didn’t!” Madison denied.
As a result, Jessica instantly let go of her, took out her phone, and sent a voice message to Ethan right in front of Madison, “Big brother, Madison misses you, she can’t sleep.”
“…Jessica!” Madison exclaimed.
Amelia quickly got up, pulling Jessica along, “Let’s go, let’s go, we’re tired, let’s go to sleep.”
The two hurriedly left, and Madison didn’t even have a chance to
catch up and ask her to retract the message before her phone rang.
In her rush, she accidentally answered the call.
“Madison?”
Ethan’s voice came through, and Madison helplessly answered, Good evening, President Grant.”
There was a six-hour time difference between the two countries, so it was already early morning in the home country, and Ethan was still working in the office.
He seemed to be on speakerphone, and there was the sound of flipping pages of a book in the background.
Hastily, Madison said, “Are you busy? Then please continue.”
“Not busy.” The man’s voice was a bit hoarse, and laughter. overflowed. “I heard you miss me?”
“…” Madison covered her forehead and let out a deep breath.” Jessica was just making things up.
“Oh.”
Ethan didn’t seem disappointed. His tone sounded casual. “Then
answer me again.”
“What?”
He lit a cigarette, took off the speakerphone, and his voice became
clearer. “You miss me?”
Even if it’s just a little bit,” he let out a breath, “do you?”
There was a moment of silence during the call.
Ethan chuckled lightly. “Alright, if you don’t miss me, forget it.”
Madison immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, she heard Ethan say, “But I miss you, and I just told you. Did you hear it?”
He asked so seriously. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
With her heart pounding, Madison didn’t respond until a long while. later, “I heard.”
Her voice sounded as soft as a bird, bringing Ethan’s heart.
thousands of miles away to life.
He clicked his tongue. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have let you go on this trip.”
“Why? Don’t you believe me?”
But Ethan replied, “It’s so far away, can’t catch up to see you.”
Alone in the room, Madison finally allowed herself to touch her burning ears without inhibition.
“You… you should rest, too. I’m going to sleep. Goodnight!”
Looking at the disconnected call, Ethan smiled.
“Hey, Michael, wake up.”
In the office, Michael slept like a log, and he groggily opened his eyes, “Huh? Are we done? Let’s go home…”
“Not going home.”
Ethan walked over and looked down at Michael, who had just sat up. “Will you accompany me somewhere?”
Michael looked confused.
Slandon Port, 35 minutes past midnight.
On flight GN1377 heading to the capital of Country N, the chief stewardess who was about to close the cabin door received a last-
minute notification.
Soon, the captain also received the same notification, “Delay the departure time by five minutes.”
The co-pilot was confused, “What’s going on?”
“They said we have a VIP.”
A VIP?
An important passenger?
Who?
The entire crew gathered at the cabin door, quietly asking the captain, but even the captain himself didn’t know.
After about three to four minutes, hurried footsteps grew clos
When they saw the face of the man walking in front, the cap the entire crew in a collective bow, “President Grant!”
“President Grant!”
“President Grant…”
Everyone witnessed the two men enter the aircraft, and the chief stewardess specially arranged two first-class seats for them, instructing all flight attendants to be on high alert.
Once seated, the plane quickly took off.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Michael exclaimed, “I can’t believe it… I can’t believe you! It’s amazing how you’re the owner of an airline and don’t even need to buy a ticket in the middle of the night.

You just walk in and want to go to Country N!”
“I never thought you had a romantic side, Ethan!”
Ethan, who had just opened a file to read, put on his glasses and smiled politely, “Do you have a problem with that?”
“What can I say?” Michael sneered. “Except for the few times I had to run for my life with you, this is the first time we’ve rushed so fast!”
Leaning against the window, Ethan couldn’t stop smiling. He glanced at Michael, who was wiping sweat off his face, “Do I seem like a romantic?”
“What do you think? You’re going far, Big Brother! It’s a thirteen-hour flight!” Michael pointed at his watch.
Ethan nodded, licked his teeth.
After a while, he turned his head, looking serious, and his voice became low, “But I miss her, what should I do?”
Michael was taken aback.
He was a bit surprised.
Ethan had fallen so fast?
Sighing, Michael sounded like a helpless old father, “What can you
do? I’m accompanying you to see her, aren’t I?”
