Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 316

Chapter 316:

“Alright,” Susan said with a nod, though her expression still showed signs of concern.

“My grandfather’s health has improved significantly now. Are you free for dinner this evening, Madisyn? Feel free to bring Mr. Klein along if you’d like,” she added.

“That sounds good to me,” Madisyn responded with a smile.

Once she ended the call, Madisyn promptly called Andrew to tell him about the dinner plan.

Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at Klein Group, Andrew was seated comfortably on the sofa, pouring himself a cup of coffee, while Dane sat across from him. They were discussing a business partnership that had been progressing smoothly. Dane was somewhat taken aback by how agreeable Andrew was; he’d never seen him so relaxed and easygoing.

He then decided to shift the conversation to more personal topics and asked, “How does your grandfather feel about your marriage with Madisyn?”

“My grandfather is very supportive of it. He’s quite fond of Madisyn,” Andrew replied.

“That’s great to hear,” Dane said, taking a sip of his coffee. Just then, Andrew’s phone rang, and his face softened as he picked up the call.

Dane could make out Madisyn’s voice faintly on the line. Once the call ended, he asked, “So, was that Madisyn inviting you to dinner this evening?”

“Yes, that’s right,” Andrew affirmed.

Noticing Dane’s reaction, he quickly asked, “Would you like to join us?”

Dane cleared his throat before replying, “Since you’ve extended the invitation, I’ll come along. I hope I won’t be an inconvenience.”

“Not at all,” Andrew assured him, maintaining a modest tone.

Dane was starting to feel more pleased with Andrew. At six o’clock that evening, Susan arrived at the restaurant and waited eagerly for Madisyn to show up.

She had selected a charming venue with a delightful ambiance, complete with the soft strains of live piano music filling the air.

Before long, Madisyn arrived at the restaurant.

After they exchanged pleasantries, Susan asked with curiosity, “So, where’s your boyfriend?”

“He’ll be arriving shortly,” Madisyn replied with a warm smile.

As expected, Andrew arrived soon after. He made quite an impression as he walked through the door. However, there was a tall, imposing figure accompanying him. The restaurant seemed to light up as the two men entered. Susan was shocked to see the man who was with Andrew.

Andrew and Dane were just as surprised, stopping dead in their tracks when they saw Susan.

Madisyn was also startled when she saw Dane. At that moment, each person had a whirlwind of thoughts running through their minds.

Finally, Andrew broke the silence with a slight chuckle. “Madisyn, I didn’t expect to see your friend here.”

“Oh, yes, I’m sorry I forgot to mention it,” Madisyn said, a touch of guilt in her voice as she looked apologetically at Susan.

Dane’s handsome features momentarily tightened, but then a hint of pleasure appeared in his eyes as he glanced at Susan. “Since your friend is here, I’ll take my leave,” he said.

“Oh, it’s alright. Let’s have dinner together,” Susan suggested gently, feeling a bit awkward. She knew it wouldn’t be polite to ask Dane to leave, especially since he was Madisyn’s brother.

Dane, hearing this, made no objections and settled into the seat beside Susan.

Andrew took his place next to Madisyn.

The mood was a bit tense. Susan turned to Madisyn and offered, “Please order whatever you like to eat.”

Madisyn nodded and picked a few dishes. Then Susan turned to Dane, striving to keep her tone even, and said, “What about you? Feel free to order whatever you like.”

“Sure thing,” he responded, quickly scanning the menu before choosing the simplest dish and a pot of hot strawberry milk.

Madisyn noticed this and couldn’t help but tease, “Dane, when did you start drinking hot strawberry milk? Isn’t that more of a girl’s drink?”

She hadn’t expected Dane to deviate so much from his usual self.

But as soon as Madisyn made the comment, it hit her. Since she and Susan typically had their periods around the same time, it must be that time for Susan.

Madisyn quickly connected the dots and gave Dane a knowing glance. Dane replied calmly, “It’s cold outside. Drinking something warm will do you good. I ordered it for you.”

“Oh, okay,” Madisyn said, though she wasn’t convinced at all.

She looked back and forth between Dane and Susan with increasing curiosity. Dane kept casting furtive glances at Susan, who remained focused on ordering more dishes, seemingly oblivious to his attention.

Throughout dinner, Susan mostly chatted with Madisyn.

At one point, she turned to Madisyn and Andrew and said, “Madisyn, it’s clear how well you and Mr. Klein go together. You guys make such a great match.”

“Oh, thank you,” Madisyn responded with a shy smile.

“I’m speaking the truth,” Susan said with a smile, a touch of admiration in her voice. “I genuinely envy what you two have.”

It’s not often you come across a couple who are not only a perfect match but also genuinely in love. Dane turned to Susan, observing her quietly.

Susan felt her cheeks flush under his steady gaze, but she chose to ignore it.

After dinner, Susan wasn’t quite ready to part ways.

“How about we go shopping?” she suggested.

“That sounds great,” Madisyn agreed enthusiastically. Nearby, there was a market filled with various stores offering clothes and jewelry.

Susan and Madisyn strolled through the market, browsing different clothes and jewelry, while Andrew and Dane trailed closely behind them.

Dane paused at a display featuring a raindrop-shaped necklace, studying it thoughtfully.

As Susan went to settle her bill, Dane stepped up to the cashier too, placing two raindrop-shaped necklaces on the counter. “I’ll pay for them both,” he said.

“Certainly, sir. The total comes to eight hundred and forty dollars,” the cashier replied.

Dane completed the payment and handed the necklaces to Madisyn. “These are for you.”

She stared at the two identical necklaces in confusion as she tried to understand the meaning behind the gesture.
