Chapter 0121
Ethan’s lips pressed together, and after a moment of silence, he said, ” Part of your pressure is because of me.”
it weren’t for Ethan, Madison might not have been so determined to win the championship.
In the last event, she nearly abandoned all concern for her own life, seeking only speed.
That dangerous emergency landing maneuver was something most pilots wouldn’t dare to try.
A single mistake, and the jet could spark upon touching the ground, leading to an explosion.
Ethan had witnessed her all-or-nothing gamble.
Anyone with knowledge of aviation could see Madison was betting her life on winning first place.
Madison looked at him, her expression one of confusion, “But Ethan, am your girlfriend.”
This statement left the man speechless.
“What does that have to do with anything?”
Madison frowned, “I’m your girlfriend. Isn’t it normal for me to share your burdens? I can’t just enjoy your protection and do nothing, can I? Isn’t love supposed to be reciprocal?”
It was as if all the sweetness in the world, brought by the breeze and the mist, hurried across the skies and squeezed into the cabin, all to burrow into Ethan’s heart.
He hugged Madison tightly, overcome by emotion.

Holding her close, Madison could almost hear the strong beats of
Ethan’s heart.
Aside from Michael, no one had ever considered his feelings so
deeply.
Not even his biological father had cared about anything other than his usefulness; his struggles were invisible to everyone else.
But Madison, whom he had known for only a few months, not only saw them but also strived for him.
She fought for him, withstanding the pressure of the world, and brought back a crown of glory, battered but victorious.
The desire to marry her grew stronger, and Ethan restrained himself as he whispered close to her ear, “What reward would you like?”
Nestled in his embrace, Madison smiled sweetly, “Just keep being good to me, that’s all.”
With that simple sentence…
Ethan’s heart shattered completely, as she occupied his entire world
Anyone else, at this moment, would rightfully ask for something.
But Madison didn’t.
All she cared about was whether he treated her well.
Ethan caressed her neck tenderly, his voice filled with affection,” Being good to you is a given. Besides that, is there anything you want? I’ll buy it for you, anything your boyfriend can provide.”
Madison blinked, as if she was truly contemplating.
He waited patiently.
After what seemed like an eternity, she snuggled closer in his arms,

tilting her small face upward, and asked in a soft voice, “Can you… give me a photo of you?”
His photo?
That was it?
Ethan was taken aback, “You thought for so long and came up with
that?”
No desire for luxury cars, villas, diamonds, or jewelry?
“Why a photo?”
Madison pulled out her work ID from her bag.
The front displayed her photo, her name, and her job title underneath.
She turned it over to the back, “There’s room for another photo here. I want to put your photo in it, so no matter where I go, I can always see. you.”
A surge of warmth flooded through Ethan, tingling and comforting
him all over.
His voice turned husky with emotion, “Alright, I promise you.”
Madison beamed, then clasped his hand and leaned against him, closing her eyes.
She was exhausted, and within minutes of closing her eyes, she fell asleep.
Ethan never stopped gazing at her sleeping face.
The more he looked, the more beautiful she seemed.
He took out his phone, deliberating, and decided to turn on the
camera.
Quietly, he leaned over the sleeping Madison. Her face was turned.

toward him.
Ethan tilted his head downward, blocking half her face with his, and kissed her forehead before pressing the shutter button.
In the photo, she was sleeping soundly, and Ethan, with only half his face visible, had his eyes fixed on her, full of deep and sincere
affection.
One in a white uniform, the other in a black suit; black and white, the
most harmonious colors in the world.
The plane landed, causing such a jolt, yet Madison didn’t wake.
Seeing she didn’t stir, Ethan couldn’t bear to rouse her and carefully lifted her from her seat. She merely furrowed her brow and shifted slightly, but did not awaken.
Watching him carry the woman off the plane, Jessica hurried to
follow.
Outside the airport, there were indeed clusters of reporters awaiting Jessica and Amelia rushed to the front, using themselves as shields
to block Madison’s face from the media’s cameras.
William led the way, ensuring their safe passage to the car.
The car started,
And Madison seemed to sense the cool autumn air of Slandon Port, stirring slightly in her half-awake state.
Ethan, still holding her, gently patted her back, his voice tender
beyond measure, “It’s alright, go back to sleep.”
Like a little cat that had lost all strength and will, she snuggled deeper
into Ethan’s arms, clinging tightly to his waist, trusting everything to him, and once again, she drifted into peaceful slumber.

Ethan’s heart nearly melted with her dependence on him.
William glanced back inadvertently and saw Ethan kissing the woman’s forehead, his motions soft and filled with endless love and
care.
Madison slept soundly, and when she awoke, rubbing her eyes, she found herself in different surroundings.
It took her a moment to recognize the bedroom in Wood Lake Grandeur.
She got out of bed to leave the room, nearly tripping over a pile of things by the door.
“What’s this…?”
“Little sister-in-law, you’re awake?” Jessica was eating fruit in the upstairs living room.
Quickly wiping her hands, she rushed over to sit Madison down and began pushing over the mountainous pile of boxes.
Amelia turned into a narrator, describing as Jessica opened each box, “These are custom limited edition high heels in four colors, all of them right here.”
“Pure handcrafted designer bags, this style just released, limited to 16. globally in two colors, in three sizes, all six of them right here.”
“This set is jewelry from last year’s end-of-year auction in country D, sold for eight hundred million-a necklace, a bracelet, a tiara. All suitable for wearing at gala events.”
“These are the deed and photos of the riverside villa that Chairman Jiang purchased for you. It’s a four-story house with floor-to-ceiling windows, full transparency, right by the river. To the left is Mukino
