Chapter 0059
Sophia threw her half-eaten apple to the ground in a huff, “Lucas, how can you speak to me like this? I’m carrying your child! Isn’t it right that you should take care of me?”
Lucas was preoccupied, his mind reeling with the revelation that’ Madison was a female pilot’..
A pilot?
A captain!!!
How is that possible?
During the two years they were together, Madison had never hinted at her ability to fly an airplane. She confined herself to household duties and whenever asked if she had any ambitions, she’d dismiss the
notion.
She seemed content with no aspirations beyond being a homemaker.
How then, after the divorce, had she transformed into a female captain?
And a captain for Mukino Airlines, no less?
As someone involved in the airline business himself, Lucas knew all too well the high standards of Mukino Airlines; they only hired the
best of the best.
Or could it be…
Did that man pull some strings to get Madison the job?
Lucas’s head was swirling with conjecture, his thoughts twisted and muddled, making the sight of do-nothing Sophia all the more irksome.

“You keep saying you’re a big star, yet you haven’t filmed a single movie. The only people who come looking for you are from low-tier production crews.” Lucas couldn’t help but scoff.
The couple had a major fight yesterday and had only just had a meal. with friends that morning, but now the atmosphere was tense again.
Sophia stood up, furious, “And whose fault is that? I told you to invest in my movies, and you kept talking about risks. When did I ever realize you were so stingy?”
“Stingy?” Lucas was in disbelief, “I’m stingy? During the two years I was married to Madison, I gave her a monthly allowance of fifty thousand yuan, and she never spent it all! And you? Since we’ve been together, I did the math-you’ve spent seventy or eighty million yuan of my money. And you have the nerve to call me stingy?”
“Oh, Lucas, so now you’re keeping score? Are you even a man?” Sophia exploded, “Madison might tolerate you! Fifty thousand a month, are you paying off a beggar?
“You…”
Lucas took a deep breath, “You’re being unreasonable!”
As he slammed the door behind him, Sophia was so agitated that she
threw here on the ground.
oo bothered by the possibility of Madison catching a or. After all, she was in show business, and what hadn’t en? Objectively, Madison was beautiful and would probably be pular if she became a celebrity. There was jealousy, but Sophial didn’t want to dwell on it. She didn’t want to bring up Madison too much in front of Lucas for fear he’d constantly be reminded of his ex- wife.
But now, Lucas kept bringing up Madison on his own.

Sophia stormed out after him, “Lucas, stop right there!”
Lucas had headed to the room where Madison used to spend her
time.
“Are you missing Madison? Do you regret it?” Sophia grabbed his sleeve, “Now you think she was better than me, don’t you?”
Lucas frowned, “Sophia, what’s gotten into you?”
“How am I behaving? You were the one who didn’t want me! Your parents didn’t like me, and you didn’t even fight for us!”
“How could I fight for us?” Lucas’s gaze was fiery, “Do you think I don’t know about your affairs? Sophia, do we really have to lay everything on the table?”
Sophia froze.
What… what?
Did Lucas…
With a slam, Lucas shut the door behind him.
This room, where Madison used to stay, was where she claimed to practice her stitching skills. Now, devoid of her belongings, it stood
save for a few household items.
acas suddenly felt the stark reality: Madison had truly left his life. She hadn’t even glanced back.
Gritting his teeth, Lucas wondered how could Madison be so
heartless? How could she deceive him like this? She was a pilot-why hadn’t she said so before?!

After a shower, Ethan, still radiating warmth, wrapped in a towel, dried his hair as he picked up his constantly lighting up phone.
Madison lay on the sofa, eyes closed beneath a blanket, pretending to sleep.
Ethan, having replied to his messages, sat on the edge of the bed facing Madison, “Go sleep in the bed.”
Madison opened her eyes, “No need, I’m fine here.”
“Do it,” Ethan insisted, “You have a return flight tomorrow. It’s dangerous if you don’t rest properly.”
Finally, Madison complied and moved to the bed, while Ethan took her spot on the sofa.
With some distance between them, Ethan lit a cigarette. The window cracked open enough to whisk the smoke away from her.

The captain paused, “My apologies for the intrusion.”
Madison was baffled, “What sister-in-law?”
Jessica grinned, “Just a way to ward off advances. Whoever you are to me, as long as you reject the other person, that’s all that matters, right?”
Madison didn’t make much of it and led the crew to board the plane
on time.
Jessica greeted each passenger with a warm smile at the cabin door.
The last passenger sauntered in, and Jessica cheerfully warned,” Watch your step.”
Ethan glanced at her grin.
Jessica rubbed her fingers together, signaling something.
Ethan walked past without a word.

Jessica felt as if she had struck gold, “Ladies, from today on, your chief attendent has a side job.”

Madison found Ethan in business class without error.

The head of Mukino Airlines sitting in business class-Ethan had hardly slept all night, and once the plane took off, he succumbed to exhaustion.
The lady sitting next to Ethan, an erudite-looking woman, realized who Madison must be the moment she saw the tall woman in a white shirt.

Madison whispered, “Please get me a blanket.”
The attendant quickly fetched one.
Madison unfurled the blanket over Ethan, offering a shallow smile to

As his eyes opened, Jessica was precisely placing the meal in the pouch in front of him.
The woman beside him smiled, “Your girlfriend is the captain, huh? She’s both beautiful and impressive. She came by earlier and covered you with a blanket.”
Ethan’s heart fluttered wildly at the news.
