Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1970

When Madilyn arrived home, she was worried that Lorraine would start nagging again, so she quickly fetched a wooden tub and filled it with water before chucking in some powder that was made of medicinal herbs that were given to her by Jonathan previously.

Subsequently, she presented the tub to her mother and urged her to soak her feet in it.

“Mom, you should close your eyes and relax,” Madilyn said.

I almost let it slip that it would be even better if she shuts her mouth, too.

Seeing how attentive her daughter was and the bright smile on her face, Lorraine decided not to nag anymore. Instead, she relaxed and quietly enjoyed the herbal foot soak.

Soon after, Madilyn turned on her phone and logged into the game, prepared to start another battle.

However, upon entering the game, a private message from Ocean Blue popped up.

The text read: Jenny, if I'm not mistaken, you must be Madilyn Xander, right?

Madilyn was stunned for a few seconds.

Who is this person exactly? How did he know my name? He even guessed Archie's and Benny's identities correctly. Could he be someone I know?

Madilyn searched through her memories and came to the realization that she didn't have many male friends. In the end, she was left stumped.

Ocean Blue probably noticed she was online and sent her a smiling emoji.

He then asked: Hey, Jenny, let's go for another round, shall we? Are there no teammates to help you this time around?

Madilyn furrowed her brows at that and her expression turned grim. She texted her response: Who the h*ll are you? How did you know who I am? Is my phone infected with a virus?

Ocean Blue: If you'd like to know who I am, what do you say we have lunch together tomorrow?

The message was followed by another emoji with a cheeky smile on its face, making it obvious that the other party had a habit of using emojis.

Madilyn felt uncomfortable upon seeing that emoji.

She replied: I'm not too interested in knowing who you are. In fact, I think it's best that I avoid people like you who like to pry into others' privacy. Anyway, I'm going to play the game now, so stop bothering me!

With that, she chose her character and joined a team with other randomly-matched players.

As fate would have it, however, she soon saw Ocean Blue in the opposing team when she entered the game.

What kind of cruel coincidence is this?

Subsequently, Ocean Blue sent a message in the in-game chat box: Hey team, the one named Jenny on the opposing side is my girlfriend. She's not very skilled, so I hope you guys will show her some mercy.

Madilyn felt like throwing up when she saw the message.

Is this guy crazy or something?

She immediately initiated a voice chat and explained to both her allies and enemies, “Don't listen to his nonsensical words. I'm not his girlfriend, and I have no idea who he is. Are you out of your mind, Ocean Blue? I bet you're used to deceiving women with this kind of shoddy tactic, huh?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

With how odd the whole situation was, a heated discussion soon started between players from both sides.

“Are the two of you having a lover's spat?”

“What's going on? If you guys really are a couple, could you quit the team? We're here to play the game, not witness any public displays of affection!”

“Hey, Jenny, I'm sure Ocean Blue's a rich heir. I mean, just look at his collection of skins! I wonder who he is in real life?”

“You have a really nice voice, Jenny. If you're not Ocean Blue's girlfriend, I wonder if I can have a chance to get to know you?”

Enraged, Madilyn quit the game right away.

Noticing the odd look on her daughter's face, Lorraine hurriedly asked, “What's wrong, Maddy? Aren't you in the middle of playing your game? What got you so angry?”

Madilyn gradually calmed down. “I'm fine, Mom.”

Soon, she logged back into the game and reported Ocean Blue for suspected cheating, insulting women, and other violations.
