Chris' voice dropped. His demeanor had shifted back to that of the cool, aloof CEO. "I'm here to apologize. I was impulsive and reckless yesterday. You were right to hit me.
His words caughtoff guard.

"Madeline, looks like you're becoming... bold." Bold? How so? Instead of asking, I simply remarked, "You were in the wrong." "Yeah. I know I messed up yesterday. I got too close to Jewel, disregarded your feelings, let her stay in the house I prepared for you, and even gave her my supplementary card." He reflected on his mistakes. I wasn't sure where he was going with this until he continued, "I apologize for that. I was completely out of line." "No need. Right or wrong, it doesn't matter now," I said and walked away, but he stopped me.
"Madeline, I'm not done yet." I glanced at his cap. "Go ahead." "I've apologized and admitted my mistakes. And about that kiss with Jewel-it was a joke, an accident. If you feel it was unfair, find a guy and even the score." Iclenched my fists at his words.
Chris noticed and quickly dodged to the side, then returned. "You can hit me, just not on yesterday's wound. Pick another spot." I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Chris, it seems my punch has impacted your brain. You don't even know what you're talking about." I pulled my hand away from his grip.
"I do." Chris looked atearnestly. "I still want to marry you and make your Mrs. Gildon." I let out a cold laugh. "Chris, whether you're joking or you've genuinely got your brain damaged, letmake one thing clear-I will never go back on my decisions." "Maddie, I know you're upset. Take your time. I'll wait for you," he said shamelessly as his audacity grew.
His words were infuriating.

I pressed my lips together. "I'm sure Bree hasn't got the tto tell you that she's going to adoptas her goddaughter. Yould be my brother. Can you envision a brother and sister getting married?" Chris frowned instantly. "That's impossible. My parents only see you as their daughter-in-law." I couldn't be bothered to argue and left without entertaining his nonsense.
As I got into my car, I heard him say, "Madeline, I rejected yourresignation. Damn!
I slammed my hand on the steering wheel. How was I supposed to attend interviews if he wouldn't approve my resignation? Chris was playing dirty now. But I vowed not to fall for his tricks.
