Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 134

“Thank you for everything, Mr.

Klein.

”

“You’re welcome, Mr.

Johns,” Andrew said with a gentle smile, his tone disarmingly casual.

“After all, Madisyn is practically like a sister to me.

”

Dane’s expression darkened, the pleasant facade slipping.

Andrew, noticing the shift, tilted his head slightly, his innocent smile never wavering.

“Why the serious face, Mr.

Johns? Don’t tell me you don’t like me?”

His playful look seemed to mock the tension, but before things could escalate, Madisyn stepped in.

“Dane, let’s go inside.

”

Her words cut through the tension, defusing the moment.

Dane, though still angry, forced a smile as he glanced at Andrew.

“Why wouldn’t I like you? After all, a friend of Waylon’s is a friend of mine.

Goodbye, Mr.

Klein.

”

With that, Dane turned and walked away with Madisyn, leaving Andrew standing alone.

Andrew sighed, rubbing his forehead with a helpless smile.

Surely, pursuing Madisyn was going to be tougher than he thought.

Most people had just one father-in-law, but Andrew felt Like he was dealing with four- one real one and three younger “fathers—in-law.

”

Wait, Waylon wasn’t included.

He was too naive to ever catch on to the situation.

As Madisyn and Dane walked side by side along the darkened path, the cool breeze wrapped around them.

The silence between them was thick, weighted by the unspoken tension that Dane seemed to carry.

Madisyn could sense it, so she stayed quiet.

Finally, Dane broke the silence.

“Am I being too hard on you?”

“No,” Madisyn replied softly.

“I’m not trying to keep you from making friends,” Dane said, his jaw tightening.

“I’m just worried about you.

”

“I know,” Madisyn said, her voice warm with understanding.

She could feel the protective concern of her family, and it comforted her.

Dane reached out, gently patting her head.

“You’re doing great at Natural Beauty.

Today’s sales were impressive.

”

Madisyn smiled at the compliment.

“Natural Beauty has a strong foundation.

It wasn’t all me.

”

Dane looked at her, his expression softening.

But as thoughts of Andrew crept back into his mind, unease settled in.

He realized he couldn’t keep voicing his concerns so openly-it would just burden her with his worries.

Next time, Dane would make sure to have a private word with Andrew.

Meanwhile, Andrew was driving when, out of nowhere, he sneezed.

He shook his head, puzzled.
