Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1362

At a café in Glendale, Madelyn and Mason were on a date. As the café's projector showcased the calligraphy competition, Madelyn could hardly contain her excitement.

"Mason, could you ask Sadie for an autograph for me?" she asked eagerly.

Having lost something that belonged to Helen before, she thought getting Iris' autograph from Sadie would be a thoughtful gift to brighten Helen's spirits. After all, Sadie was Iris' student.

Mason's expression darkened. "Why don't you just ask her yourself? We're classmates, and it might come off as desperate if I do."

"Please, just do this for me, just once!" Madelyn pleaded, her hands clasped together earnestly.

Mason rolled his eyes, irritation creeping in. "Sure, I'll ask next time I see her."

Deep down, he had no intention of embarrassing himself after how Sadie had treated him before; he just wanted Madelyn to stop bugging him.

"You're the best!" Madelyn beamed, turning back to the livestream.

At the competition venue, Augustine's gaze sharpened as he tapped rhythmically on the table. "You claim that Ms. Void has personally mentored you—do you have any proof?"

These days, it wasn't uncommon for people to fabricate such connections.

"Ms. Void praised my talent and gave me this badge as a token of her encouragement," Sadie explained, pulling out a VIP badge from her pocket and holding it up proudly.

The on-site reporters quickly adjusted their cameras, zooming in for a close-up of the badge.

As she watched this unfold, Madelyn's mouth dropped open in shock. Wasn't that the exact badge Helen had given her?

She remembered it clearly—a small chip in the top part of the letter "VIP". The emblem in Sadie's hand had the same flaw.

After a moment, he finally stopped, visibly annoyed. "Can't you just give me some space?" he asked sharply.

"But we're in a relationship…" Madelyn replied softly, her voice lacking confidence.

Was this what dating was supposed to feel like?

Since they got back together, Mason seemed like a different person, often losing his temper over trivial matters. Yet whenever she apologized, he would quickly return to his usual self.

Madelyn felt increasingly confused; she didn't understand what was happening between them anymore.

"I'm sorry. I've just been under a lot of stress lately," Mason said, regret etched on his face. "I think we should take a break and cool off for a few days."

"What? We just got back together! Why do we need to take another break? I don't want that…" Madelyn stepped closer, gripping his hand. "Was it something I said that upset you? I promise I won't bring it up again. Please, let's not break up."
