Chapter 703: Chapter 702: Ms. Joanna, are you alright?

She glanced past him, pretending to look for someone. Upon seeing Nina ahead, she quickened her pace towards her, as if seeing a savior.

Perhaps she was too hurried, she didn’t notice the stone under her foot and slipped...

Just as Joanna was about to fall to the ground, Maddox quickly stepped forward to hold her.

Due to momentum, Joanna’s head bumped into his chest again.

Maddox instinctively held her waist.

Under normal circumstances, he should have let go after Joanna had steadied herself.

But at the instant of releasing her, he felt somewhat reluctant to do so.

The young girl’s soft and fragrant body leaned against him, sending sweet scents straight into his nostrils.

He didn’t dare exert too much force when holding her, fearing that her delicate waist might break.

She was so petite.

Such a small figure in his arms, reaching just above his chest.

His one arm could completely wrap her up in his embrace.

Maddox’s ideal girlfriend was this petite and delicate type of girl, who seemed to need his protection.

Joanna’s appearance, height, and figure were all to his liking.

Even the sweet scent emanating from her was one he found appealing.

His fingers trembled uncontrollably upon touching her soft, slender waist. His heartbeat raced.

How could such a perfect girl exist?

She seemed tailored to his preferences in every aspect.

He had never believed in love at first sight before.

But now, he did.

It turned out there really were people you would fall for just by seeing them once.

And then you’d start to like them more and more.

Until you couldn’t stop thinking about them day and night.

Every moment, you couldn’t help but think of her.

But why would God send such a person to him, only to let her belong to someone else?

"Mr. Allenson, let go of me..."

Bumping into Maddox’s embrace again, Joanna’s head struck against his firm chest, leaving her momentarily dazed.

It took a while for her to recover.

When she realized his hand still lingered on her waist, she felt a strange sensation deep in her heart and pushed him away.

That push brought Maddox back to his senses, his rationality restored.

"I’m sorry, Ms. Joanna. Are you alright?"

Maddox immediately let go and took a step back. He clasped the hand that had embraced Joanna’s waist, pressed his lips together, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed the emotions about to surface in his eyes.

He knew he had just lost control.

He had done something ungentlemanly.

He couldn’t believe he had taken advantage of someone else.

Suppressing that strange feeling deep in her heart, Joanna shook her head.

"That’s good," Maddox realized his emotions were becoming increasingly uncontrollable, causing him panic, a feeling of fear and confusion that many things were slipping out of his control and could no longer be reined in.

This feeling made him want to escape.

"Since Ms. Joanna is fine, I’ll leave first." After hurriedly saying this, Maddox swiftly turned and left.

"Joanna, are you alright?"

Nina came back and looked at Maddox, who had already left. She frowned, and some long-forgotten speculations resurfaced from the depths of her heart.
