As the host, Wayne chatted with the guests for a bit, but the couple still hadn’t gotten out of the car.
Wayne asked Ike to lead the guests inside while he walked up to Hunter’s car.
Brent and the other bodyguards stood beside the car, unmoving.
Wayne couldn’t suppress his bad temper anymore.
When he swung the car door open, he was greeted with quite the scene.
Hunter, who had always been at odds with Wayne, was behaving completely differently from Wayne right now.
Hunter was holding Madison’s chin with one hand while holding some lipstick with his other.
He was earnestly tracing the shape of Madison’s lips.
His expression and movements were extremely reverent, as if Madison was a goddess to him.
Madison pursed her lips and then smiled at him.
“How do I look, Hunter?”
Wayne was deeply captivated by Madison’s smile.
He never knew that such a beautiful smile existed in this world.
Her face was extremely charming, but her eyes were pure and clean like jewels.
“You always look amazing, Madie.”
It was only then that Madison turned to look at Wayne.
A distant and courteous look appeared in her eyes as she said, “Sorry, my lipstick was smudged just now.Did we delay your time?”
Wayne looked away.
“No.”
For some reason, whenever he was faced with this woman, he could never quite maintain his temper.
Hunter strode out of the car and then extended his arm toward Madison.
Then, Madison got out of the car by holding onto his arm.
The two were like a match made in heaven, and they stood out quite a lot.
Wayne’s gaze fell upon Madison’s face.
“Ma’am, my subordinates will keep you company today.See you at lunch later.”
“Thank you for going through the trouble, Mr.Maxwell.”
Madison behaved openly so that no one could see that she was pretending.
Hunter smoothed her hair and then gently pinched her tender cheek.
“Wait for me.”
“Alright.”
Brent followed Madison.
His job was to protect her.
Alan walked up to Madison.
“Ma’am, the carriage is ready.Let’s go.”
“May I know your name? How should I address you?”
“My name is Tanner.Alan Tanner.”
“I’ll be relying on you then, Mr.Alan.”
Madison followed Alan into the carriage.
It was only then that Madison realized the huge size of the place she had spent almost two weeks in.
Also, in the past, she just went back and forth between Royal Hospital and her bedroom.
So, the first time she got to sightsee in the castle was when she assumed the identity of Hunter’s wife.
After getting into the carriage, Alan personally drove it for her.
“Ma’âam, everyone says that you two are divorced, but I can see that you two get along quite well.Was it a fake divorce?”
Madison put on a gentle smile.
“Yes, we filed a divorce in the past because of some upsetting things.After going through a lot, we’re back together now.”
“Your love story must be a happy one and totally different from Mr.Maxwell’s.It has been so long, but he never got married.He finally found a woman he liked, and he sacrificed a lot for her.
“But in the end, he found out that she’s just a scammer.”
After a pause, Alan continued, “Ma’am, what would you do if you were tricked?”
Aware that Alan was testing the water, Madison wore a bright smile.
“If I’m deceived, I’ll take it as a lesson.People wise up from experiences.I won’t easily trust others anymore.”
He couldn’t find anything off from her flawless face.
The series of questions stopped as he began giving her a proper tour of the royal castle.
They headed closer to Royal Hospital, where a field of herbs was planted.
Flowers bloomed into vibrant colors.
“Falham, our national flower.Those bright petals can be taken as medicine after drying them.The fruits and stems can be eaten too.”
She hummed in response.
“I’ve heard that, 60 years ago, an invasion caused havoc in Carathia, and soldiers filled the streets.
“There was a drought, so the crops died.A lot of people went to the mountains to forage for vegetables.
“Falham has a tenacious vitality.It lives through four seasons, and from the petals to the stems, it can be eaten.It sustained a lot of people through that drought.After that, it was bestowed as the national flower.”
“That’s right.You’re smart.Things are getting better now.We don’t lack money or food.Many youngsters don’t know the history of it.’ He switched the topic.
“Here’s Royal Hospital.I heard that you practiced medicine.Would you like to visit the place? Various herbs are planted inside.”
Madison had guessed that it was coming from him.
If she turned down the offer, it might be too obvious.
Left with no choice, she accepted it, “I did practice medicine, trained to be a surgeon.But I quit school due to personal issues.I’m afraid I’m not that knowledgeable in traditional medicine.”
“Don’t worry about it.There are a few traditional practitioners in the Royal Hospital.You can talk to them.”
“Sure.”
She was curious about what else Alan had up his sleeves.
There was no way they could still coax her into admitting that she was Ophelia, she believed.
“We made some pear-syrup candies today.It’s one of our local specialties.Would you like to give it a try?”
“Yes.”
She halted in her tracks, waiting for him to lead the way.
Obviously, it was a test by Alan.
If it was Ophelia, she would’ve turned toward the restaurant’s direction instinctively.
Unbeknownst to him, Madison had managed to prevail over her reflex action with control.
Aside from being a daring character, being meticulous was one of the criteria to be a S Rank assassin.
“This way, please,”he invited.
After barely taking a few steps, someone called from behind.
“Dr.Ophelia! Dr.Ophelia!”
Madison almost turned around in response.
Calmly, she initiated a conversation with Alan.
“Are these herbs? If you hadn’t told me, I would’ve thought that they were ordinary plants.Look how pretty the flowers are! Can we grow it indoors?”
The shouting of the name echoed louder until Marvin patted her shoulder.
He ran to her front, huffing, “Dr.Ophelia, why did you ignore me? I was calling for you! You—Who are you?”
He stared at the gorgeous woman in a daze.
Alan chided, “Dr.Dooley, what are you doing? This is the Arlandian admiral’s wife.”
“The admiral’s wife?”
Marvin scratched his head, awkward.
“I’m sorry for mistaking you for the wrong person.Your back resembles a doctor from Royal Hospital.”
Madison let out a warm smile.
“It’s fine.You were calling for me? I thought you were looking for someone else.”
Her pristine smile melted his heart, putting him in a trance.
Alan gave Marvin a kick in the shin.
“Stop disturbing her and leave.”
The pain woke Marvin from his trance.
“Sorry! I shall get out of your hair right away! Oh, Alan, why hasn’t Dr.Ophelia clocked in for work yet?”
No one in Royal Hospital knew what transpired last night.
It pricked Madison’s guilty conscience because they truly saw her as a friend.
“Cut it out! Leave!”
Alan urged.
Once Marvin was far away from them, Alan turned to face Madison.
“Sorry about that.”
“It’s fine.It’s normal to take a person as someone else,” she acknowledged and followed him.
His brows furrowed.
