The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 2023

Chapter 2023 Making Arrangements Jonathan and Madilyn were completely clueless about Lucian's harsh punishments against Norton. The sun was already setting. A Rolls-Royce was on the road, heading to Horington from Xandenia.

More specifically, Jonathan had slowed down the car after they had passed the outskirts of the city to enjoy the beautiful and unique scenery.

“Where do you get this car, Jonathan? Doesn't this car belong to the person in charge of the hotel?” Lorraine was overjoyed to see how much in love Madilyn and Jonathan were.

Jonathan shook his head in response. “Mdm. Xander, this car doesn't belong to the person in charge. The car is specially provided by the company for the hotel to welcome distinguished guests. Thus, I've requested to borrow it for a few days. Once we arrive at Horington, I'll ask someone to return the car!”

“| see. Well, that's splendid! This car can make Mildred know her place in an instant! | assume the car is extremely expensive!” Lorraine had never sat in a Rolls-Royce before, even though Norton had one in the past. Despite that, Lorraine had always refused to sit in it. After all, she knew the car was Mildred's dowry.

“Mom, this car is, in fact, expensive. The price can go up to a few million. However, it wouldn't be difficult for Jonathan to buy one if he wanted to, but there's no need for that at the moment.” Madilyn sighed inwardly. It looks like Mom knows nothing about the assets of the Queen family.

Jonathan merely smiled as he explained, "Mdm. Xander, you can find cars like this in my house too. In fact, some of them cost more than the one I'm driving now! I've driven them when | was younger, but | don't drive as much anymore. If you like this car, | can assign a driver to drive the one at home and make it your personal transport!”

Jonathan's words made Lorraine beam in excitement. She was feeling utterly spoiled.

Meanwhile, Madilyn looked at Jonathan from the corner of her eyes, impressed by his tactics to win his future mother-in-law over. Warmth filled her heart as she smiled.

The car came to a stop at a rest area. Stepping out of the car, Jonathan went in search of some food and warm water for the mother-daughter pair to have on the road. Seeing that, both Lorraine and Madilyn were touched by his thoughtfulness.

When Jonathan returned to the car, Lorraine began discussing the matters of marriage. She wanted to know if the Queen family had any other requests from her end.

“Mom, don't you think you're thinking too far ahead? Jonathan and | have just started dating a few days ago. We just want to go dating and have fun now!” Madilyn rolled her eyes at Lorraine as a blush crept up her face.

To her surprise, Lorraine gave her a warning look. “Do you know how old you are now? You can go on your sweet dates after you got married. Moreover, Jonathan's family is a famous prestigious family in Horington. You should be worried about whether or not you area good fit!”

“My gosh. What kind of mother would berate her own daughter like that?” Madilyn pouted before turning to Jonathan. Acting coy, she blinked innocently before asking, “Jonathan, tell me. Do you think I'm a good fit?”

Jonathan chuckled before nodding fervently. “Of course! You're a terrific fit!” He then smiled at Lorraine. “Mdm. Xander, don't worry. There isn't any rule in my house. Everyone's just waiting for me to get married soon!”

“Okay! Then when we return, can you arrange a meet-up between me and your parents? Would that be all right?” Lorraine seemed to be anxious.

It was as though she was worried that her daughter would never get married.

“Sure! When we got back, I'll ask my folks to have a chat with you. My parents are really easy to get along with!” Jonathan did not hesitate to give a firm answer.

Upon hearing that, Madilyn did not make another noise.

Her heart was racing in her chest.

It didn't seem too bad of an idea for Lorraine to speed up the process and send them straight to the altar.

From the corner of her eyes, Madilyn peeped at Jonathan's handsome side profile. A surge of sweetness filled her heart. Jonathan seemed to feel it too. Turning his head slightly, he met her eyes with a look of warm affection.

“Oh, that's right. Mdm. Xander, we have to make a stop at the town in front. | heard that the scenery there is breathtaking. We'll reserve two hotel rooms to stay in. What do you think?” Jonathan asked in a gentle tone.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Lorraine nodded instantly. “No problem. Two rooms would be just nice. You and Maddy can take one while | take the other.”

When he heard that, Jonathan was taken aback. He had intended for Madilyn to share a room with Lorraine. He did not expect Lorraine to make such an arrangement.

Madilyn's face turned a bright shade of red. She immediately protested, “Mom, what are you talking about? I'll be sleeping in your room!”
