Chapter 1212 The Two of Us (Part Twenty-One)

• He did love Madison Sawyer. But deep down, he never saw her as all that mature. He always felt he had to protect her—especially after her suicide attempt. Even though she’d changed a lot since then, Chadwick Fullner couldn’t help it; his care for her always came wrapped in kid gloves.
• Only now did Chadwick suddenly realize something else: maybe there was an invisible line between him and Madison. Not deep, but always there. He was only just seeing it.
• It felt like this—Madison had grown up. She wasn’t the girl from the start anymore, the one he could coax into smiling with a dumb joke. Now she needed more. Yet what he gave her hadn’t changed. He was still doing what he thought was “being good to her,” like before. But what she really needed—what her heart wanted—he’d never given her. He didn’t even understand it.
