Back at Atkinson Villa, the rice was already cooking when Bilan arrived, and the vegetables were washed and ready for him to cook.

Madeline followed him into the kitchen but quickly realized there was nothing for her to doc

After several days without her help, Brian had become skilled at heating oil and cooking vegetables.

Madeline’s eyes dimmed slightly, if Brian was willing to cook for Jessica regularly, it meant Jessica must have eaten his cooking before. But she had clearly posted on Instagrant about Brian making porridge for her.

Logically, Jessica should have noticed that Instagram post, since Madeline had set it to be visible only to Jessica Knowing Jessica the way she did, there was no way Jessica would still eat Brian’s cooking if she knew he’d made porridge for another woman.

After observing for several days, Madeline suspected Jessica might have blocked her posts. She sneered inwardly. “Does Jessica really think she can fool

herself like this?”

She had other accounts that could make sure Jessica would see everything

As Brian added seasonings to the dishes, he took the opportunity to review the remaining documents. He took his pen and signed after making sure everything was in order. “Madeline, thanks for making the trip.”

“It’s no trouble at all.

I just wish I could’ve been more helpful. I really want to do something for Jessi.” Madeline smiled gently and shook her head.

Then she asked tentatively, “How is Jessi doing lately? Pregnancy can be really tough on her. Should I go over and take care of her?

Brian wasn’t surprised that Madeline knew about Jessica’s pregnancy. He assumed they were close friends who’d kept in touch privately.

The idea of Madeline taking care of Jessica did appeal to Brian for a moment. But he quickly shook his head. “That’s not necessary. You should focus on your work. Having you take care of Jessi would be a waste of your talents”

Brian genuinely appreciated Madeline’s professional abilities. After all, Jessica had trained her personally. It would be a waste for Madeline to only be assigned the task of taking care of Jessica

Madeline’s face lit up with joy, Brian had personally acknowledged her worth. In his eyes, she was more valuable than just being Jessica’s caregiver

What Brian didn’t know was that over the years, whenever Madeline encountered problems she couldn’t handle, she would secretly seek Jessica’s advice. Jessica had always been generous with her knowledge, teaching Madeline everything she could and even coming up with solutions to help her navigate workplace challenges.

“Taking care of Jessi is what I should do. It’s not a waste of talent at all. I’d be happy to do it.” After offering this modest response, Madeline left Atkinson Villa with a heart full of joy.

At least as Brian’s secretary, she was far more i

important in his eyes than Jessica, who was just a housewife.

Half an hour later, Brian appeared at the Grant Group building entrance, carrying a thermal container filled with the porridge he’d made, some vegetables, and the apple pie that Sylvie had made.

On the twenty–eighth floor, Jessica took a sip of hot water. It didn’t calm her stomach; on the contrary, it made it worse. Her belly rumbled loudly with hunger.
