After, what felt to be hours, sitting in her bed Madelyn still couldn't quite figure out why she was so utterly heartbroken. She wasn't inlove with the brigerton boy, that she was sure of, but she couldn't help but wonder, why was she so destraught over him being with another, or why did she feel so beside herself when she was no longer in his arms and his gaze no longer belonged to her and her only. When baffled her most was why she felt so broken when leaving the bridgerton home.
At that the confusion was quickly replaced with anger, she always swore she would never let a man have so much control over her emotions and thoughts. Althought there were obvious feelings that surfaced in recent events she decided to stop dwelling for the time being and get some rest.
The next morning the Magnolia girl was awake by dawn ready for the morning she planned to spend with Simon. The carriage was ready and waiting by the time she was in a fit state to leave, after she bid her goodbyes she leaves to the Dukes.
DressUpon arriving Madelyn makes her way into unfamiliar home, her eyes wide as she takes in the beautiful building. This could not have been the home his father lived in, she thought as she takes in its beauty.
"Joe darling!" He calls from down the hall making his way to her direction
"Good morning Simon"she greets with a smile
"Your home is exquisite" she states amazed at its interior while they walk in the direction of the garden
"My god!" She calls before he can thank her, outside sits a rather large round table filled with various foods covering every inch of it
"I thought we were having tea!!!" Simon chuckles slightly guiding her to a chair before he pulled it out slightly for her to sit.
"Last night you seemed rather upset so I thought we might leave the tea for later and start with champagne" he states as he removed the cork
"It's barely noon!" She state already taking bites out of a chocolate croissant.
"That's never stopped us before dear jo" he smiles before pouring to glasses. He waites until she has taken a few sips before the questions start pulling up
"What upset you yesterday evening" he asked as he buttered his toast. Picking at her food slightly she avoids eye contact before answering.
"I think I have developed feelings for the viscount" receiving only silence in return she finds Simon with a look that could not be described as suprised, instead it looked knowing and slightly canny
"I'm was already aware but I doubt that realization was the reason you left the bridgerton home in such a state." Instead of questioning him she continues
"I believe he was to kiss me in the library last night" at that Simon choked on whatever food he was eating
"I beg your pardon?" He asks after getting ahold of himself
