Chapter 107 The Daughter of a Rich Family (2)

• "I'd been lonely since I was a child. As I grew up alone, I played with dolls every day. The servants were always following me around at home, and my mom was always worried that I might fall or catch bacteria from somewhere, so I've always stayed at home and rarely gotten in touch with society. I'd always been like a bird in a cage since I was a child, so I really wanted to go out and see the world freely by myself. Just after my car accident, I put in a lot of effort and even threatened my parents with suicide, and only then did they agree to give me freedom and let me live away from home on my own, go out to work, and be independent. Well, I had a car accident because I quarreled with my parents at home about this and was in a terrible mood. My parents thought that I took things too hard and wanted to kill myself, so they were so scared that they dared not stop me anymore, which was why they finally agreed to let me live away from home. Because of that, I bought that house and went to work as the most ordinary employee. I'm not lying to you; I'm really the most ordinary employee at the bottom of the pay scale in Regal Peaks. No one dares to care whether I go to work or not, though." Madison's eyes dimmed again as she spoke of this.
• "But I live away from home and met you, so these days are the happiest days of my life. Following you around makes me feel as though I've discovered another world that's wonderful, real, and delightful. Your world doesn't include a big car and a big house, and you rarely eat exotic foods and nice dishes, but I feel happy while spending every single day with you. You know what? You often scold me, and I often squabble with you, but I'm happy whenever we do so because I think this is the life I want. I enjoy such a life very much," she said in all seriousness.
• Chadwick's eyes widened as he listened to Madison's words. In the end, reaching the limit of his patience, he replied, "I seriously don't understand what is in the heads of rich people like you. You find the life I lead enjoyable? You know what? I'd have to keep my nose to the grindstone for five to six years without eating or drinking anything to afford that handbag of yours. Do you know that I'd even dream of being like you? When I was little, my family was poor, but I wanted to eat meat. At the time, I watched TV dramas, where the kids of rich families were shown eating lavish meals. I had even dreamed that I had reincarnated as the child of the rich family; not only did I not have to do anything every day, but I could lie down at home all day, watch TV, and eat meat every day. To me, that's an enjoyment. Alas, life is like a besieged city, where the people inside always want to get out and the people outside always want to get in. Those inside the besieged city think that those outside are living a happy life and that their own lives were miserable, whereas those outside think that those inside are living a happy life and that their own lives were miserable. Such is life."
