Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 40

Andrew observed her wavering, a smile tugging at his lips.

Unlike many ladies who would feign modesty, Madisyn was refreshingly genuine about her preferences.

“How about I surprise you?” he suggested, his voice deep and enticing.

“Surprise me?”

“Let me pick out something for you?”

Madisyn nodded, figuring it was best to let Andrew decide since she couldn’t make up her mind.

She watched as Andrew confidently talked to the server.

After the server left, Madisyn broke the silence with a personal query.

“You and Waylon are quite close, aren’t you?”

“Yes, ever since childhood.

We practically grew up together.

Our grandfathers were close friends and fought in the war together,”

Andrew explained, then added with a slight hesitation, “It led them to arrange a marriage between our families.

”

He paused, studying Madisyn’s reaction to this revelation.

Somehow, he felt a slight nervousness stirring within him as he awaited her response.

However, Madisyn remained calm and unperturbed.

She thought wealthy families truly favored arranged marriages.

However, she harbored no intentions of stealing someone else’s love.

“Before I returned, Kristine was my father’s only daughter.

Were you two…” Madisyn began to ask, hinting at a possible past engagement.

“I never considered her my fiancee,” Andrew replied swiftly, wanting to clarify any misunderstandings immediately.

It was evident that while Kristine might have harbored feelings for him, the sentiment was not mutual.

So, what was the point of bringing the arranged marriage up?

Looking earnestly into Madisyn’s eyes, he reassured, “Of course, my family would never force anything on me.

”

“Hmm.

”

Interrupting Madisyn’s thoughts, the server started to set down their ordered dishes before them.

As Madisyn gazed across the generous array of dishes, astonishment touched her voice.

“This is quite a feast.

Surely we can’t finish it all.

”

“Enjoy as much as you can,” Andrew suggested Lightly, a slight shrug accompanying his words.

“Anything left over, I’ll take to the stray dogs.

”

This glimpse of kindness behind Andrew’s usually reserved facade surprised Madisyn.
