His And Her Marriage (Lucian and Roxanne)

Chapter 2030

Chapter 2030 Self Numbing

Upon opening the door, Jonathan flashed a smile. “Did you get kicked out by Mdm. Xander again?”

“Yeah. She snores too loudly anyway, and I can never get used to it.” Madilyn cooked up an excuse as

she walked in with her pillows in her arms.

She noticed that Jonathan’s laptop was still switched on, indicating that he was still working.

At that sight, Madilyn suddenly felt sorry for him. He must be exhausted. Not only does he have to plan

out our travel itinerary in the morning, taking great care in showing us where the good food was and

where to have fun. On top of that, he still had to deal with tons of work affairs at night.

After entering the room, she sized up her surroundings and realized that the space didn't seem like it

had anybody staying in.

Everything was clean and tidy.

She took a glance at the refrigerator, and sure enough, her assumption was right. The drinks inside had

been neatly arranged by Jonathan.

Isn't this obsessive-compulsive behavior?

Madilyn knew that such behavior was actually a different kind of torment for oneself.

picked and rearranged the positions of all the bottles within.

Then, she chose a bottle of fruit wine with an unknown brand before taking a peek at Jonathan, trying

to see how he would react.

Usually, individuals with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder would become agitated when others

disrupt their arrangements and plans.

However, Jonathan simply smiled at her as if relieved.

Seeing that, Madilyn said, “Jonathan, I may be your girlfriend now, but I am also a doctor. As such, I

can't help but advise you to stop working so hard in the future. I can help you with the travel itinerary,

and I hope you can stop being so tense all the time, okay?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Although she didn't mention anything about the disorder, she reckoned she had given him enough

hints.

She was worried that if Jonathan returned to his work mode, he would have a relapse of the depression

he had suffered due to excessive stress previously.

With a serious expression, Jonathan replied, “I know, Maddy. I understand your concern and intentions.

Apart from that, I also know you're the only one who could heal me.”

His words made Madilyn's face flush, her heart raced, and she felt flustered.

It seemed that sometimes, a sincere comment could become the sultriest of words.

All of a sudden, Madilyn didn't dare to look into Jonathan's eyes for fear of getting caught in those dark

pools of his and triggering her impulses.

Subsequently, she opened the bottle of wine and took out some glasses.

The bottle of wine was just enough to fill two glasses. She took the glass and walked over to

Jonathan's side before handing it to him.

“Sometimes, a little bit of wine can help relax the mind. Don't always push yourself too hard.”

The reason why Madilyn was drinking was so that she could sleep better. Otherwise, she thought that

the sound of running water from Jonathan's shower later would make her imagination run wild.

“You're right. Let's drink together, then.” Jonathan lifted his wine glass. His smile became even more

alluring in Madilyn's eyes.

She turned her head away as she wondered if the man was deliberately teasing her.

After clinking their glasses gently, both of them took a sip and started chatting aimlessly.

They talked about the sceneries they saw, some matters related to their work, and shared some

interesting anecdotes from the past.

Madilyn couldn't help but feel at peace being with him.

Soon, they finished their wine, and Madilyn turned around to fetch another bottle.

“This wine is sweet and the taste is really good,” Madilyn commented, unaware that the seemingly

refreshing wine actually contained a high alcohol content.

However, it appeared that the effect of alcohol hadn't hit her at that moment.
