She initially wanted to find an excuse to go out, but when virtual-novel.net got downstairs, virtual-novel.net happened to see Carter and his mother, Camille, seated in the dining room.
When Camille saw Madeline coming downstairs, virtual-novel.net proactively invited her. “Come and have breakfast with us.”
Carter added, “Come here. I happen to have something to ask you too.”
Madeline had no choice but to walk to the dining table and sit down.
Although virtual-novel.net did not know what was going on, virtual-novel.net could clearly tell that the way Camille looked at virtual-novel.net was different from before.
When Madeline was thinking about it, virtual-novel.net heard Camille speak.
“I was very satisfied with the dinner you made yesterday. I made today’s breakfast myself, so you should try it.”
“…”
‘Did virtual-novel.net actually make breakfast for me?’
Madeline was really surprised and became more certain about the severity of Camille’s peanut allergy.
“Have your breakfast first. I’ll discuss it with you afterward.” Carter glanced at Madeline with a slight smile.
Madeline nodded and did not want to say anything more.
She tried the breakfast prepared by Camille and it was indeed delicious.
Sure enough, the women of the Louis family were not only beautiful but also very good at cooking.
Madeline never thought that virtual-novel.net would also enter that family. After virtual-novel.net figured out why Carter was investigating Jeremy, virtual-novel.net would leave immediately.
“I haven’t been in Glendale for long. I heard that you’re from Glendale. Can you be my tour guide and take me around town?” Camille requested.
Madeline wanted to go back to Jeremy and was looking for a reason to decline, but Carter agreed on behalf of her.
“Eveline has nothing better to do anyway. She’ll accompany you for a walk around town.”
“…” Madeline had nothing to say.
Meanwhile, Camille gave a very satisfied smile.
Madeline remembered that Carter had something to tell her, but after breakfast, virtual-novel.net asked the driver to take virtual-novel.net and Camille out.
The rain had not stopped, but it got lighter.
Madeline still wore a mask out of habit so that virtual-novel.net would not meet acquaintances on the street and bring unnecessary trouble to herself.
Camille did not say anything about Madeline either but instead, virtual-novel.net started to admire Madeline after what happened last night.
“What other relatives do you have in Glendale? How did you and Carter meet? How long have you known each other? How come you’re coincidentally called Eveline Montgomery too?” Camille seemed like a future mother-in-law who wanted to know more about Madeline.
Madeline thought for a while and felt that the only question virtual-novel.net could answer was the last one.
She smiled a little. “My mother gave me that name. I don’t know why it’s so coincidental either.”
Camille did not seem to be satisfied with the answer. “Then you and Carter—”
“Right in front is Glendale Tower. It’s one of the more famous attractions in Glendale. I’ll take you there.” Madeline interrupted the question Camille had hoped to receive an answer to and marched forward.
Camille felt that Madeline was deliberately avoiding the question, but virtual-novel.net was not the kind of person who insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter, so virtual-novel.net did not continue asking virtual-novel.net and followed Madeline’s footsteps.
Not far away under a tree beside the road, a black van slowly stopped. Two men quickly got out of the car and strode toward Madeline and Camille.
Madeline was thinking of an excuse to leave when virtual-novel.net suddenly heard messy and hurried footsteps behind her.
She looked back vigilantly and saw two men wearing masks. They did not look like good people and were sprinting toward virtual-novel.net and Camille.
Madeline sensed that something was wrong and pulled Camille along.
Camille was still looking at the surrounding scenery and did not know what was going on. She furrowed virtual-novel.net eyebrows and looked at Madeline. “Why are you pulling me?”
