    The nket Madison had covered him with? Ethan nced at the familiar pattern of the nket he


    had personally selected and felt an iparable warmth envelop him.


    “Sir, what drink can I get you?” Jessica’s voice interrupted his thoughts.


    Ethan nced up slightly, “Has she eaten yet?”


    Jessica smiled, “She’s eating now.”


    The in-flight meals provided by Mukino Airlines were reputed to be the best in the industry, diverse


    and guaranteed in quality.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “Give her this,” Ethan suggested, removing a foil-wrapped chicken leg from his meal box. “She


    didn’t eat much this morning.”


    Jessica looked surprised, “And you?


    “This is enough for me,” Ethan said, gesturing to the remaining food.


    Jessica admired her brother for his adaptability. Despite his wealth, he could live luxuriously or


    simply as the situation demanded. After


    all, any


    Owould have simply chartered a private flight rather

    arning from delivering the chicken leg, Jessica again offered. n a beverage as she passed by, but


    he declined.


    “How’s my goddess handling the flight?” Jessica beamed with pride.


    Ethan raised an eyebrow, a hint of pride in his eyes: “Much steadier


    than the others.”


    “Cough, cough…” A cultured woman nearby couldn’t suppress a

    cough.


    “Sorry about that.”


    Ethan waved off the apology.


    Indeed, love does wonders. While the flight felt the same to others, Ethan sensed a superior level of


    stability.


    “Perks of being a captain, eh? A second chicken leg,” Jack noted,


    eyeing the additional piece on Madison’s tray.


    Madison offered, “For you?”


    Quick to refuse, Jack gestured, “No, no!”


    The flight attendants mentioned that their very own CEO was on this flight. This costly piece of


    poultry must have been a gift from the CEO to their captain.


    Unlike Jack’s, Madison’s meal was different; it was specially prepared ording to the pilots’ tastes


    to prevent simultaneous difort in case of a problem with the food. If meals were the same, the


    captain and the first officer would eat half an hour to an hour apart.


    Jack’s meal, unlike Madison’s, included the same kind of chicken leg, fter Landu had finished his,


    confirming it was safe.


    rief rest and ensuring all aircraft equipment was functioning


    rectly, Madison left for the pilots’ rest area.


    However, no sooner had she stepped in than she was pushed from behind. She turned swiftly,


    barely stopping herself from retaliating.


    “Surprise, right?”


    Madison, her heart still racing, didn’t understand.


    Ethan closed the door behind them, “Just a leader inspecting.”

    “Inspecting what exactly?” Madison questioned, her eyebrows knitting together. What was there to


    inspect in a rest area?


    The rest area was cramped, leaving little room for Ethan to maneuver.


    “Is anything here ufortable for you?”


    “It’s quite fine,” Madison sat down. “You need to rest?”


    “I’ve just woken up,” Ethan said, looking around. “I just came to see


    you.”


    “To see me…”


    Feeling awkward, Madison urged, “Get some rest, then.” Ethan left, pulling the door open.


    “Ethan, why cram into business ss? There’s another flight to ndon Port in forty minutes,”


    Madison suddenly asked.


    Ethan, one leg already out the door, turned back, pausing before saying, “Isn’t it obvious?”


    “Because you’re on this flight.”


    Madison didn’t sleep well the previous night, and this rest was ten minutes longer than usual. Her


    mind was foggy, filled with Ethan’sst words in her dream.


    “Sorry, I overslept. Your turn to rest,” she told Jack.


    Jack chuckled, “No worries, slept early, not sleepy.”


    Still, Madison insisted Jack take a break, and she piloted alone.


    Three and a half hourster, with a cheery “Have a pleasant journey, goodbye,” Mukino Airlines


    Flight 3131 returned safely,nding smoothly at Mukino’s domestic airport.

    Many colleagues congratted Madison on safelypleting her first flight as captain. She too felt


    delighted.


    Yet, there’s always someone to dampen spirits, like Lucas calling


    from an unknown number: “Madison, what’s the meaning of this? After marrying me, you still had


    secrets? Why didn’t you tell me you were a pilot?”


    Lucas rambled on the other end of the line.


    Madison, signing off on the flight report, barely listened, her attention on the echoes of “Captain


    Madison” filling the air.


    Enraged, Lucas bellowed, “Madison!!!”


    “Are you calling spirits?” she retorted, her lost sharpness reimed from the skies above.


    Dragging her ck suitcase, she sauntered forward, her voice


    carefree: “You didn’t know about my past, yet you dare remind me I was married to you? What does


    my flying have to do with you?”


    “If you’d been a pilot, why didn’t you tell me earlier? If you had, I wouldn’t have…”


    “Lucas.”


    adison, poised at the esctor, spoke with calm authority, “Don’t overestimate yourself. If your


    wife’s unemployment is a reason for your disdain, I’d suggest you better umte some good


    karma, or I fear for yourtter years…”


    “You might end up on the streets.”


    “By the way, we’re divorced now. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t call me unless it’s about the asset


    division. Harass me again, and I’ll sue for sexual harassment, alright?”


    “Madison, you…” Lucas was incredulous.

    The woman stepped into the elevator,ughing lightly, “What about me? I just didn’t want to be too


    harsh, but I’ve underestimated your thick skin. Every penny you spent on Sophia during our


    marriage, I’ll be taking it back. Be prepared.”


    She hung up promptly, just as a new WeChat message from Ethan. appeared on her screen.


    -I’m at the work passage exit.


    -I’ll take you home.


    The words “take you home” stirred something in Madison’s heart.


    She hesitated, not responding immediately.


    It was Jessica, who had been quietly standing aside, who took the phone and replied with a simple


    “Okay!”


    Madison: “.


    Jessica was earnest, “Madison, I know my brother is pursuing you, and I’m not trying to force


    anything on you. I just really think he’s at good guy. Of course, I won’t pressure you into a decision.


    You should give yourself a chance to be happy, right? Try it out, and if it doesn’t work, dump him.


    What do you have to lose?”


    After a long look at Jessica, Madison reimed her phone, y, “Jessica, you’re quite the


    matchmaker.”


    W******p.


    Jessica was seeking sympathy.


    -Big brother, my future sister-inw called me a matchmaker.


    -I demandpensation for emotional distress.

    A crisp female voice announced the transaction, and Jessica immediately felt better: “Ah, that’s


    comforting.”

    At the work passage.


    At the end of the corridor, Madison spotted Ethan waiting. Jessica nudged her gently forward.


    Ethan naturally took her suitcase, “The car’s this way.”


    Jessica didn’t follow; she waved them off with a professional smile.


    Once in the car, Madison’s tense nerves finally rxed.


    After wrapping up some work, Ethan turned to her, “I had William buy some fresh groceries. I’ll cook


    you a meal when we get home, okay?” Madison opened her eyes wide in disbelief, “… You’re


    cooking for me?”
