Chapter 109

Leo was holding a plate in his hand. His right palm was still wrapped in gauze, but it did not affect his nobility at all.

He placed the dishes properly and glanced over from the corner of his eye with a calm. expression.

“The dishes are all served. Let’s eat.”

Madison did not know if he had heard what she and Amber said just now, but it was obvious that he had ended the conversation and helped Madison solve the problem.

However, Madison was still in a mess. She could not figure out why Leo was here.

Given the fact that his relationship with Amber was very bad, they would either not meet or quarrel when they met. She dared to come to the main Palmer residence for a meal because she was certain that Leo would not come back.

Moreover, Sally was still in the hospital. Didn’t he need to guard her in the hospital?

Although Madison did not specifically inquire about Sally, she still heard the news.

Every day, someone would come and tell her about Sally’s current miserable state. They would say that Sally had directly knocked her head against the wall in the detention center. She looked like she was courting death. They described it so vividly ast if they were at the scene.

There was also news saying how much Leo valued her. From morning to night, he stayed by Sally’s side and asked about her well-being, afraid that Sally would knock her head on the ground again.

Madison was annoyed to hear that.

Therefore, Madison had mixed feelings. She didn’t want to see Leo, let alone sit at the same table with him to cat.

Moreover, she did not deliberately restrain her emotions, directly showing how unhappy she was.

After she sat down, her bright face was expressionless and she spoke less. Only when Amber spoke to her did she respond with a smile and did not take the initiative to talk.

Not to mention the people sitting at the dining table, even Maya, who was serving the dishes, could feel that something was wrong.

Amber added another prawn to Madison and said, “Madison, why aren’t you eating? Is

Chapter 109

the food not to your liking? I made them myself. Please try some.”

Madison was amused by her tone and finally smiled, “It’s very delicious. Your culinary skills are getting better and better.”

She also picked up some food for Amber. While her mood improved, Madison also felt a little guilty.

She shouldn’t come to someone else’s house as a guest and ask the host to take care of her.

Moreover, Amber cared too much about Madison’s emotions. Because Madison did not like that affectionate way of addressing her, Amber didn’t force her to call her Mom. This made Madison feel very warm.

Madison tried her best to put on a smile so that she wouldn’t ruin the atmosphere because of Leo. But then, she heard Amber speak to Leo.

“Pick some food for yourself and go to the coffee table to eat. Don’t stand in the way of Madison and me. Seriously, I usually call you back for dinner and you ignore me. Today, I didn’t call you over, and you do come back.”

Leo was speechless.

He looked at Amber silently, only to see that his mother did not even look at him. After scolding him, Amber began to pick up prawns for Madison, and they were peeled.

“Madison, try the prawns. I just caught them today. They were still alive when I cooked them. It’s fresh.”

Madison was especially embarrassed.

It was as if she was Amber’s biological daughter and Leo was adopted.

When she saw that Leo had really started to pick up food and was about to leave the restaurant, Madison couldn’t help but say, “I’m fine. You should stay. It’s better to eat with more people around.”

Amber sneered. “Tell him to get lost. He’s an eyesore.”

After scolding Leo, Amber immediately softened her tone when she spoke to Madison.

“Madison, I know you hate him too. Has this brat not completed the divorce. procedures for you yet? I’ll urge him to do it tomorrow!”

Leo was stunned.

This time, not only did he look at Amber, but his gaze also swept across Madison.

However, he retracted his gaze after a glance. He picked up some food and stood up to go to the sofa. He took a small stool and started eating on the coffee table..

He was almost 6.2 feet tall and was tied to the short table. Leo looked especially sullen.

He was like a pet dog that had been abandoned by its owner. Without its owner to take care of it, it could only start rummaging through the trash can.

Madison retracted her gaze absent-mindedly. His hand flashed across her mind.

Leo had injured his right hand, and he usually did things with his right hand, including eating and picking up food. If she was not wrong. Leo’s wound should have reopened.

“Madison?”

Sensing that Madison was in a daze, Amber called out to her.

Madison retracted her gaze and was a little embarrassed. “I can handle the procedures when Mr. Palmer is free. I’m not in a hurry. And I don’t hate him.”

She just didn’t like him anymore.

She did not dare to like him anymore.

Beside the coffee table, Leo sat on a small stool.

He had good hearing and the conversation at the dining table was not soft. Moreover, there were only two of them, and their conversation was not messy. Even if Leo was chased here, he could still hear it clearly.

Didn’t she hate him anymore? Leo did not think so.

Leo looked down at his palm and smiled faintly. There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

If she didn’t hate him, would she stop smiling and talking when she saw him?

Madison’s shocked expression when she saw him flashed across Leo’s mind. Leo suddenly could not eat anymore. He simply put down his knife and fork and sat down to meditate, trying to dissipate the depression in his mind.

Maya watched Leo grow up and knew that Amber did it on purpose, but she still cared for him. Maya secretly brought some fresh and warm dishes over from the kitchen.

The dishes were just made, and no one ate them.

Leo had no appetite and planned to let her carry them down. But from the corner his eye, he saw the prawns in the bowl, so he asked, “How many more are there?”

of

Chapter 109

He lifted his chin to signal the pawns.

“That’s all were left. I’ve already brought them over for you,” Maya said.

There was only half a bowl left, and Maya scooped them out.

Leo took out the prawns and said, “Send the rest back. I can’t finish so many. And you know that I don’t actually like pawns.”

Since he had already said so, Maya couldn’t say anything. She brought everything back.

However, she was also puzzled. Leo hated prawns the most. He thought that this thing. tasted bad with a shell. It was even more troublesome to peel it. If it was not cleaned properly, there would be sand. If it was not done well, it would have a fishy smell.

In short, after tasting it once, he no longer wanted to eat it.

The one who really liked to eat this was Madison.-

Edgar doted on her. Every time she came to the Palmer family to play. Edgar would ask the chef to make some pawns. He would use all kinds of different methods to make delicious food.

However, as a ser vant, Maya was never curious and did not ask much.

Since Leo wanted prawns, she would give them to him. Anyway, this thing was good stuff. Eating more was good for health.

Occasionally, the people at the dining table would glance over. Only his tall and straight back and part of his side profile could be seen.

Madison couldn’t see what he was doing. She only knew that he was very focused.

Although the atmosphere had improved after Leo left the dining table, Madison still felt that something was wrong. She did not have much of an appetite to eat and did not have much to talk to Amber.

Amber had said most of what she needed to say. She also ate quietly. Occasionally, she would glance at her silly son on the sofa from the corner of her eye, and a look of disappointment flashed across her face.

The food was barely touched. Madison had already put down her knife and fork.

Amber was surprised. “Have you finished? You haven’t eaten much. Have more.”

Madison waved her hand and declined. “I can’t eat anymore. Besides, you know that I work in Rose Garden. There’s no shortage of food there.”

Of course, Madison was lying. She had been extremely busy for the past two days, and she did not eat much at all.

The food she ate now was just to fill her stomach. She planned to cook some noodles when she got back home.

Since Madison had finished eating, Amber could no longer persuade her. Just as she was about to get Madison to eat some fruits, a small bowl was suddenly placed in front of Madison.
