My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 1325

Maddie immediately rebuked her father’s suggestion. “No. Joel is just a low-level soldier. He still has a long way to go before receiving a promotion. Being allocated a house is pretty generous in and of itself, yet you expect a two-bedroom apartment?! I’m afraid you’re being way too idealistic about Bayside City! We don’t even have a one-bedroom apartment! All we have is a studio apartment. The kitchen is right next to our bed, and my son sleeps on the sofa! That’s my current living situation! If she comes, she can sleep in the corridor!”

Mr. Evans was so furious that he could barely speak. In the end, he exasperatedly said, “Maddie, you need to work harder in Bayside City. If only you were half as good as Christine… Everybody is talking about you behind your back! No matter what, you are still a resident of Bayside City. If you don’t make a name for yourself, you’ll be ashamed. Similarly, I’ll be ashamed too!”

She replied, “I want to make a name for myself too! But, 70,000 to 80,000 is cheap considering the housing prices in Bayside City! It wasn’t easy for Joel and me to save up that money. Where are we going to get that money again if we use it all to buy a house for my elder brother?! Look; this is as far as I’ll get in life. Put your hopes in my brothers instead!”

After saying that, she hung up the phone and immediately went to greet the logistics department.Please treat those two well; give them the most difficult and tiring tasks! If they can’t take it, they can scram! The company will not employ lazy workers!

When Tawny learned about this, she was extremely annoyed. She thought that she would be able to move into Maddie’s house if her family spoke up on her behalf; she believed that she could instantly create a spark between her and her cousin’s aristocratic husband.

Unfortunately, Tawny had been working in the company for half a month now. Even so, Maddie never once spoke about her husband during that period. Her husband never came to pick her up from work either—she drove herself to and from work every single day. Similarly, that Range Rover did not appear

again since then. Besides, Maddie’s department was located very far from Tawny’s department. It was practically impossible to run into each other, and Maddie never bothered to call Tawny to ask after her.

Therefore, Tawny visited Maddie’s office from time to time and deliberately made small talk with Maddie. “Maddie, it’s Saturday tomorrow. Why don’t you bring me out to eat? It’s so boring to eat alone. Besides, Joel hasn’t been introduced to our family yet. My dad and the rest of the family are really looking forward to meeting him!”

Maddie answered the questions, one by one. “I’m working overtime this weekend, so I’m not free. Joel works in the army—they’re not allowed to use their phones!” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Tawny rolled her eyes in response. “Maddie, can you let me drive that Range Rover of yours? My brother and I want to drive to Longbeach Fort to go sightseeing!”

Maddie lowered her head to work on her manuscript. “I borrowed that car from my unit leader. If you want to use the car, you can ask my unit leader yourself.”

Then, Tawny sweetly said, “Come on; let’s eat together during the weekend. Ask Joel to join us so that the rest of the family can meet him. My brother has not met Joel yet!”

Maddie pushed her glasses up her nose. “Joel is on duty. He won’t be able to make it since he is outstation. You can eat on your own; don’t mind us.”

All of a sudden, Tawny noticed that Maddie seemed to be using the latest Dragon Eye mobile phone. That model was very popular right now. When she was still studying, all her classmates bought Serpent and Dragon Eye mobile phones—it was a status symbol among them. Hence, she quickly said, “Maddie, can you lend me some money? I want to buy a new Dragon Eye.”

Maddie replied, “The latest model is more than 10,000 each. Where would I find that money?! This phone was provided by the company.”

“Can’t you give me one? You have several of them!” Tawny cajoled with a bright smile.

Maddie replied without even lifting her head, “These phones are supplied by the company so that I can carry out my work. Besides, all of them are being used.”

Unable to persuade Maddie, Tawny stomped her feet in anger before going back to continue cleaning the toilet.Stingy grouch! This company has more work than Christine’s company! It’s more tiring too! It’s not easy to slack off during work, the pay is not high, and there are no independent accommodations! Moreover, it’s not as comfortable as staying with Christine. Christine even allowed me to freely take her lipstick and clothes!

Unbeknownst to her, Maddie immediately called the logistics department as soon as Tawny left. “Tawny Bishop left her workstation without authorization. Deduct her wages as you see fit.”

Initially, Tawny came here to work thinking that she could take the opportunity to move into Maddie’s house. She wanted the opportunity to create a little something between Joel and her. Contrary to her expectations, Maddie’s family turned out to be so poor!Broke b*tch!

Therefore, she called home every day, making up stories about how poor Maddie was while complaining about how bad the job Maddie introduced to her was. She wanted the entire county to know how poor Maddie was and how useless Maddie’s husband was.

As a result, Maddie’s family called Maddie every day too. They complained that people were talking badly about them. Thus, they wanted Maddie to arrange better accommodations for Tawny and her brother. Their reason was that Maddie took them in, so she had to do that for them. In response, Maddie thought to herself,Go f*ck yourselves.

One day, Linus and Sophia came to Maddie’s unit. Under normal circumstances, Linus would never come over on his own even if he agreed to an interview with them. However, he happened to be having

a meeting nearby and decided to drop by on his own. Coincidentally, Sophia had business with Maddie and followed along.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw a young lady in heavy makeup sweeping the floor in the lobby. When Linus brushed by her, the young lady suddenly passed out for some reason and collapsed next to him. Shocked by the lady’s sudden fainting spell, Linus quickly picked her up and prepared to send her to the hospital.

The moment Maddie heard that Linus and Sophia were here, she hurried out to greet them. However, she was greeted with the sight of Linus carrying Tawny. She’s up to her tricks again!“Linus, put her down. We’ll take care of her.”

Linus’ blue eyes were filled with uncertainty when he heard those words. Looking at the young lady’s condition, she seemed to be in a terrible state!

Thus, Maddie assured him. “Don’t worry. That’s my cousin. Her chronic disease is flaring up. She faints whenever her blood sugar levels drop. She’ll be fine with some rest. Your time is precious; let’s proceed with the interview. ”

Upon hearing those words, Linus put Tawny down and went with Maddie for his interview. On the other hand, Tawny was sent to the hospital. The hospital ran a blood test on her, which racked up a medical bill of over 1,000. Since she did not have any medical insurance, she could not claim a single penny and had to pay out of her pocket.

As a result, she felt extremely aggrieved and furious. The only reason she turned on the cleaning robot in the lobby every day was so that she could catch a rich husband for herself. After all, rich and influential people constantly came and went from Maddie’s unit. She knew a rich man had arrived as soon as she saw Linus. However, Maddie ruined her plans just as she was about to succeed. Thus,

she called home to complain again. This time around, that wasn’t enough to appease her anger, and she made another phone call to an uncle of hers that was working in Bayside City.

Soon, private calls blew up Maddie’s phone, one after the other, while she was interviewing Linus—so much so that she decided to turn off her phone. She had seen through what Tawny was thinking at a glance.She has gone crazy trying to lure a rich husband into her grasp. Seriously; why doesn’t she take a look at herself in the mirror first?

After Linus finished his interview, he rested by the side. Then, Sophia took the chance to talk to Maddie. “Maddie, that cousin of yours, Christine Bishop… She’s not in a relationship, right?”

Maddie sorted out her manuscript as she replied, “Mm-hmm.”

Sophia continued asking, “What do you think of her and Stan as a couple?”

Maddie fell silent for a moment. She was also aware of the recent rumors flying around among the Fletc

Maddie fell silent for a moment. She was also aware of the recent rumors flying around among the Fletchers about how Christine and Stanley were in a relationship. She questioned Christine about it and confirmed that they were not in a relationship. Moreover, she had warned Christine not to go beyond her station. Fortunately, Christine was not Tawny. She was sensible and not prone to dreaming. Maddie hurriedly answered, “No way; no way. Christine and Stanley?! They have different ranks!”

“Tsk. Why are you still talking about ranks in this day and age?! They look well-matched to me. Besides, it’s so rare for Stan to have a woman he can talk to!” Sophia continued saying.

Even so, Maddie continued to wave her hand dismissively.If Stanley and Christine were to get together, the Bishop Family would learn about the Fletcher Family’s existence. If that happens, they will get carried away! They won’t just be asking for jobs by then! It’s quite possible that they will ask for a house for their preparations. They might even use the Fletcher Family’s name to play tyrant in their hometown!
