286 For Peace

Madeline's POV

"Are you okay, Madeline? Why do you look so pale?" Jack asked the moment he saw me get inside the kitchen, and I could see the concern on his face.

"My husband and Calixto are in the restaurant," I replied, and his eyes widened as he closed the kitchen door, and he mentioned me to follow him.

"Now, I could tell you are really connected with your husband; maybe he can feel that you are near," Jack said after he opened his office, and I weakly smiled at him.

I am still amazed at how organized he was, and he mentioned me to sit down on the chair in front of his table.

"I am sorry to bother you, and I begged Gina not to tell you that we were coming. I couldn't believe that she discussed all the details with you and that you are no longer surprised why I am hiding from my husband." I declared.

"My girlfriend knew we were friends, Madeline, and she cares so much about you." He replied.
