Chapter 176 I Like You (2)

• "I… I… Well… Madison, let's just treat this as a joke. Please don't take this seriously. Well… It's getting late. You should go to bed. I'll leave now. The car is downstairs, and I still have to return it to Samantha," Chadwick stuttered before he stumbled out of the house.
• "Chad, will you continue acting dumb after I confessed to you? Do you not like me back? Am I not good enough?" Madison stared at him. He already had one foot out of the door, but he froze when he heard her words. He was desperate to leave at that moment—every human's first instinct was typically to run when they faced an issue that they couldn't resolve, right? But when he heard what she said, he felt like he couldn't walk off just like that. This made him feel more conflicted.
• He ended up reentering her house before shutting the door and turning around to look at her. Things were awkward between them, and he didn't know what to say at all. "I'm being serious, Chad. I was serious from the very beginning. You're the first man I've ever fallen for in my whole life. You're the only one," she said while gazing at him earnestly.
