Chapter 378
As Ethan and Madelyn were about to settle the hill, they suddenly heard a melodious voice, “Mr. Arnold? What a
coincidence! We meet again
Following the direction of the yoke, Madelyn saw a lady who looked like a prominent socialite with flawless skin and
an elegant demeanor she did not know this woman, but recognised the person beside her. He was Kennedy, her
classmate who consistently ranked first in their grade
Madelyn looked at Kennedy and most hely guessed that these two were siblings. They shared similar facial features,
making it evident at first glance When Kennedy met Madelyn’s gaze, she nodded in greeting, and Kennedy did the
same.
Ethan only glanced at Megan without saving anything Instead, he noticed Madelyn’s gaze and asked, “Do you know
him?”

Ethan relaxed his gaze
The cashier handed Ethan a bill “Sir, this is your bill. Please take a look. Are you all together?”
When Madelyn was about to speak, Ethan’s cold voice ent in, “No.”
After that, he turned to Madelyn and said in a softer tone, “The wallet’s in my pocket.”
Megan smiled to ease the awkwardness, “We’re at table 12. Could I have the bill, please?”
“Sure, please wait a moment.
Madelyn got his meaning. She reached into his coat and took out a black wallet. As she opened the wallet, she
noticed a photo inside. It was a photo of her. She had taken it wearing the school uniform on the spur of the
moment. Madelyn had natural curls, but she had found it troublesome to manage, so she had it permed into wavy
curls. Later on, she had cut it short.
“Which card?” Madelyn did not know there was a photo of her in his wallet. With someone standing nearby, she felt
a sudden warmth in her cheeks
“Any card will do.”
Madelyn randomly picked a card. Unbeknownst to her, Ethan’s expression briefly changed, and it quickly returned
to normal.
After settling the bill together, they all walked out of the restaurant.
“I never expected the CEO of Arnold Corporation to be so forgetful. We had a conversation at the last banquet.”
As Megan spoke, she shifted her gare to Madelyn. “Is she your sister?”
‘Sister? Do we look like siblings? Ethan thought as his expression hardened.
Upon noticing the change in Ethan’s expression, Megan quickly smiled to ease the vibe. “I’m sorry. I must have
misunderstood.”
“Ms. Johnson, is there a reason for you repeatedly interacting with me?” His tone turned colder.
Megan hesitated, then shook her head. “I just wanted to greet you, no other intentions.”

from now on, because I have no patience for strangers. Besides, my girlfriend is here, and I don’t want any
misunderstandings between us because of someone unimportant.”
Megan’s expression turned unpleasant. Even the best manners could not withstand Ethan’s piercing words, which
seemed to subtly be implying that Megan was a nuisance to him.
From the beginning, Ethan had no intention of responding to Megan’s advances and had merely wanted to distance
himself from her. However, as she approached him again and again, it seemed she was deliberately forcing his
hand. He had no interest in women who came to him so eagerly, especially when he already had Madelyn.
Ethan left with Madelyn, leaving behind a displeased Megan. He opened the passenger door, and waited as Madelyn

the car. He then explained the situation, afraid she might have misunderstood.
Madelyn chuckled, “I believe you.”
‘Megan’s voice was probably the one I heard during our previous phone call.‘
