How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 282

It was only the first day, and the place was already swarming with people. Maddie could practically see dollar signs waving at her.

Suddenly, there was a knock on her table. Looking up, Maddie saw it was Lexie, gazing at her with a goofy expression, clueless about what Lexie might want.

Seeing Maddie's dopey look, Lexie felt a surge of irritation and, hopping from one foot to the other, exclaimed, "Maddie, quit staring at me like a deer caught in headlights. Didn't you promise we'd have a go at each other? I'm here to take you up on that. Let's head to the back lawn of the dorm."

Maddie's look was so innocent, Lexie feared she might not be able to go through with it. Only then did Maddie remember her prior commitment to Lexie.

She apologetically put down her pen and said, "Sorry, totally slipped my mind. You're here for that brawl, right? Sure, let's get going."

"Now?" Lexie raised an eyebrow.

Maddie checked the time and nodded, "Yeah, now. The gates aren't closed yet. We'll have time to get back after."

"Maddie, are you provoking me? Just so you know, I only lost last time because I was caught off guard. I won't be pulling any punches this time."

"Alright, alright."

"Maddie!"

"Huh?"

Lexie felt like she had hit rock bottom. Never in her life had she met someone like Maddie. She was there to pick a fight, not to be cute.

In the dead of night, Lexie and Maddie made their way to the back lawn of the dorm. By now, it was late, and the lawn was deserted.

Lexie glared at Maddie, "Last time, the dorm room was too cramped for me to move properly. Out here, you better watch out."

Maddie tilted her head adorably, thinking that was her line to say. She'd learned to fight in the wild, wrestling with beasts. Confined spaces were a disadvantage to her; in the vast openness, she was the real predator.

Facing Maddie's innocent gaze and pretty face, Lexie inwardly cursed. She dared not look any longer and charged towards Maddie, determined to strike first this time.

Maddie seemed to react a moment too late, not moving an inch. Just when Lexie thought she had Maddie within her grasp, Maddie dodged with agility that seemed beyond human.

Then, as Lexie stumbled forward due to her momentum, Maddie flipped over and landed a hit on Lexie's back. Lexie's forward charge wobbled.

The next moment, Maddie pounced like a young wolf on the hunt, tackling Lexie from behind and pinning her to the grass. Lexie tried to fight back.

Maddie, sitting atop Lexie's waist and pinning her arms down, had Lexie feeling utterly defeated. So it turns out, rock bottom had a basement...

Two fights, both quick and decisive. The only difference was, last time Lexie was flat on her front. This time, she was pressed face-down into the grass, almost eating it.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Maddie's fierce aura faded, and she innocently asked from behind, "Lexie, are we good now?"

Lexie wished she could just dig a hole in the ground and bury herself. "Good my foot!"

Seeing Lexie not responding and fearing she might have hurt her, Maddie hastily got up and asked with concern, "Lexie, you alright?"

Lexie, getting up from the grass, maintained her composure and said, "What could possibly be wrong?"

Maddie pointed at Lexie's face, "You've got a blade of grass on your face."

Lexie: "..."

If Lexie ever fought with Maddie again, she'd be the world's biggest fool! A legendary idiot!
