    Sophia threw her half-eaten apple to the ground in a huff, “Lucas, how can you speak to me like


    this? I’m carrying your child! Isn’t it right that you should take care of me?”


    Lucas was preupied, his mind reeling with the revtion that’ Madison was a female pilot’..


    A pilot?


    A captain!!!


    How is that possible?


    During the two years they were together, Madison had never hinted at her ability to fly an airne.


    She confined herself to household duties and whenever asked if she had any ambitions, she’d


    dismiss the


    notion.


    She seemed content with no aspirations beyond being a homemaker.


    How then, after the divorce, had she transformed into a female captain?


    And a captain for Mukino Airlines, no less?


    As someone involved in the airline business himself, Lucas knew all too well the high standards of


    Mukino Airlines; they only hired the


    best of the best.


    Or could it be…


    Did that man pull some strings to get Madison the job?


    Lucas’s head was swirling with conjecture, his thoughts twisted and muddled, making the sight of


    do-nothing Sophia all the more irksome.

    “You keep saying you’re a big star, yet you haven’t filmed a single movie. The only people who


    come looking for you are from low-tier production crews.” Lucas couldn’t help but scoff.


    The couple had a major fight yesterday and had only just had a meal. with friends that morning, but


    now the atmosphere was tense again.


    Sophia stood up, furious, “And whose fault is that? I told you to invest in my movies, and you kept


    talking about risks. When did I ever realize you were so stingy?”


    “Stingy?” Lucas was in disbelief, “I’m stingy? During the two years I was married to Madison, I gave


    her a monthly allowance of fifty thousand yuan, and she never spent it all! And you? Since we’ve


    been together, I did the math-you’ve spent seventy or eighty million yuan of my money. And you


    have the nerve to call me stingy?”


    “Oh, Lucas, so now you’re keeping score? Are you even a man?” Sophia exploded, “Madison might


    tolerate you! Fifty thousand a month, are you paying off a beggar?


    “You…”


    Lucas took a deep breath, “You’re being unreasonable!”


    As he mmed the door behind him, Sophia was so agitated that she


    threw here on the ground.


    oo bothered by the possibility of Madison catching a or. After all, she was in show business, and


    what hadn’t en? Objectively, Madison was beautiful and would probably be pr if she became a


    celebrity. There was jealousy, but Sophial didn’t want to dwell on it. She didn’t want to bring up


    Madison too much in front of Lucas for fear he’d constantly be reminded of his ex- wife.


    But now, Lucas kept bringing up Madison on his own.

    Sophia stormed out after him, “Lucas, stop right there!”


    Lucas had headed to the room where Madison used to spend her


    time.


    “Are you missing Madison? Do you regret it?” Sophia grabbed his sleeve, “Now you think she was


    better than me, don’t you?”


    Lucas frowned, “Sophia, what’s gotten into you?”


    “How am I behaving? You were the one who didn’t want me! Your parents didn’t like me, and you


    didn’t even fight for us!”


    “How could I fight for us?” Lucas’s gaze was fiery, “Do you think I don’t know about your affairs?


    Sophia, do we really have toy everything on the table?”


    Sophia froze.


    What… what?


    Did Lucas…


    With a m, Lucas shut the door behind him.


    This room, where Madison used to stay, was where she imed to practice her stitching skills. Now,


    devoid of her belongings, it stood


    save for a few household items.


    acas suddenly felt the stark reality: Madison had truly left his life. She hadn’t even nced back.


    Gritting his teeth, Lucas wondered how could Madison be so


    heartless? How could she deceive him like this? She was a pilot-why hadn’t she said so before?!

    After a shower, Ethan, still radiating warmth, wrapped in a towel, dried his hair as he picked up his


    constantly lighting up phone.


    Madisony on the sofa, eyes closed beneath a nket, pretending to sleep.


    Ethan, having replied to his messages, sat on the edge of the bed facing Madison, “Go sleep in the


    bed.”


    Madison opened her eyes, “No need, I’m fine here.”


    “Do it,” Ethan insisted, “You have a return flight tomorrow. It’s dangerous if you don’t rest properly.”


    Finally, Madisonplied and moved to the bed, while Ethan took her spot on the sofa.


    With some distance between them, Ethan lit a cigarette. The window cracked open enough to whisk


    the smoke away from her.


    Madison, aware of another presence in the room, struggled to find sleep. But exhaustion won out,


    and she eventually drifted off.

    “Hello, may I introduce myself?”

    The captain paused, “My apologies for the intrusion.”


    Madison was baffled, “What sister-inw?” Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Jessica grinned, “Just a way to ward off advances. Whoever you are to me, as long as you reject

    on time.


    Jessica greeted each passenger with a warm smile at the cabin door.

    Madison whispered, “Please get me a nket.”
