Back in Time to Fall for Him novel Chapter 22

Madison texted back. "Alright, then. Let's schedule it in advance. When you do have time, don't forget our date. I'll be waiting."

Madison felt a twinge of disappointment, yet she still managed to slip in a bold confession.

As he read her message, Sam's heart clenched painfully. Going on a date with Madison had been a dream he'd longed for, yet one he'd never dared to pursue.

Could he really do it? Or would she ditch him halfway through like before?

He stared at his phone, gaze deep and unfocused as a sense of disbelief crept over him.

On Madison's side, she waited, feeling a little let down at the lack of a reply. But she quickly pushed the feeling aside, remembering all the times she had abandoned Sam for Johnny in the past. She let it go.

Madison texted, "I'm going to keep shopping now. That way, I'll look beautiful when we go on our date."

With that message sent, Madison put her phone away.

When he saw the text, Sam exhaled, feeling part relieved, part unsettled. He couldn't understand how she could change so much in just a single day, especially when she'd been ready to end her life over Johnny yesterday.

Had something happened that he didn't know about?

His fingers tapped lightly on the desk before he summoned Benjamin with a cold command. "Find out what Johnny and Kaitlyn have been up to lately."

The mention of their names made Benjamin frown instinctively. He remembered how those two had once manipulated Madison into hurting Sam. Disgust flickered in his eyes, but he said nothing. He only nodded and left, bound by orders.

Meanwhile, Kaitlyn sidled up to Madison, who was trying on clothes, and gave her a knowing look. "Maddie, guess who just called me?"

Madison gave her a brief, indifferent glance before uttering Johnny's name calmly.

Kaitlyn's expression lit up. "That's right. He said he wanted to apologize but couldn't reach you, so he called me instead. I told him where we are."

She looked like she was expecting praise. Seeing this, Madison actually laughed in disbelief. "Kaitlyn, do you honestly think you've done something good?"

As she spoke, she handed the dress she was holding to the sales assistant. She folded her arms and peered down at Kaitlyn with a piercing, frosty glare.

Kaitlyn froze, thrown off by Madison's reaction. When she finally recovered, she tried to play the victim. "Maddie, did I do something wrong?"
