Joe, although not particularly keen, agreed to take her back.

Sensing Joe’s continued skepticism, Madison repeated, “Is it true? Are you not just teasing me?”

“I’m not teasing you,” Joc replied.

Trying to ease the tension, Joe gently cajoled, “Whenever you want to go back, just tell me in advance, okay?”

As soon as the words fell, a petite figure pounced into Joe’s arms. “I know that you love

the most. But I still need to stay in Sidovor City for some more days. We can discuss when to go back home then.”

Got a positive answer, Madison also smiled, released Joe’s n*eck and carefully checked the bouquet in her arms.

If Madison continued, her rose might get crushed.

By now, Joe would no longer be unaware that Madison was just pretending.

There were no tears on her face at all, except for slightly reddened eye sockets. There was no trace of having cried at all.

“Jessica, how can you play such games?” Joe asked, his confusion turning into frustration.

He stopped trying to console her and let out a strained chuckle instead, the situation turning absurd to him.

Madison, unfazed and a bit defiant, responded with a soft snort, “You taught me well. If I can’t even lie, how can I call myself your sister?”

Joe’s frustration morphed into laughter, the irony of the moment leaving him speechless.

Madison, with a hint of mischief, pressed him. “You won’t lie to me, right? You promised.”

Joe ignored her and coldly snorted before turning around. However, he did not mention anything about going back home in protest, indicating his tacit

agreement.

‘I wouldn’t bother arguing with this girl. Whatever I have said, I will stick to it. Furthermore, I only agreed to take her back but did not say that I would meet people. with her.’ Joe thought.

Madison also knew that Joe meant agreement, but it was also evident that Joe was not very happy after being deceived by her.

Madison approached him and, holding the flowers in one hand, playfully grabbed his arm with the other, giving him a coquettish smile.

“I just know that you are the best, you definitely won’t deceive me, and you wouldn’t. bear to see me leave Sidovor City like this. When I meet Miss Malone, I will speak well of you in front of her. And this flower certainly won’t affect your marriage prospects, after all, Miss Malone also knows our relationship, it’s fine if you send more.” Madison said.

“Jessica, are you asking for trouble?” Joe half-joked, half-warned as he quickly pulled the flowers back.

Joe sna tched the rose she was holding in her arms and said, “You heartless little one, sacrificing my marriage prospects to give you the flowers you like. How dare you make fun of your brother.”

“Hey, be careful.” Madison protested, not wanting to damage her precious roses.

Madison was not as tall as Joe. The rose was unexpectedly taken away by him, and she tried to grab it with her h ooked hand but failed. She could only pretend to be pitiful and said, “Joc, I was wrong. I won’t tease you anymore. Please give it back to me quickly. I’m starving, I haven’t even eaten a few bites of dinner.”

“That’s what you get for being dramatic,” Joe said, still laughing.

Joe didn’t overdo the teasing. When he noticed her jumping with joy, he handed the flowers to her and started walking towards Rose Garden.

“I’m sorry. I apologize, Madison said, realizing the role her antics played in their spat.

Madison also knew it was her fault. She softly said, chasing after Joe without even checking if the flowers were damaged or not.

She caught up to him quickly, knowing she also had a part to play in the

misunderstanding. As Madison reached him, she saw his easygoing demeanor and was about to discuss more when she was abruptly interrupted.

According to her understanding of Joe, he appeared casual and carefree, but in reality, he was very stubborn about certain things.

If he didn’t make it clear, he might be tangled in your heart for a lifetime.

Suddenly, Madison was pulled back by someone grabbing her collar. Startled, she

turned and saw Leo’s angry face. The day’s earlier events flashed through her mind,

fueling her irritation.

Leo, are you insane? Let go,” Madison exclaimed, trying to break free from his grip, but he wouldn’t budge. She could only turn to glare at Leo, her frustration evident.

Leo ignored her protests, his gaze fixed on the roses she was holding, his expression darkening.

Meanwhile, Joe, hearing the commotion, turned to see what was happening and found. himself both amused and annoyed by the scene unfolding before him.

Joc looked up and met Leo’s eyes. His lazy voice was very casual.

“What does Mr. Palmer mean?” Joe asked.

“I also want to ask Mr. Daves, what do you mean? You know that Madison is my wife, but you still gave her roses openly.” Leo answered.

Joe locked eyes with Leo, his tone a mix of amusement and challenge. “Your wife? Didn’t you sign the divorce papers with Jessica already? Calling her your wife doesn’t seem right.”

He stood on the steps in front of the Rose Garden, looking down at Leo with a superior

gaze.

‘It’s ridiculous. When he married Jessica, I didn’t see him doing anything as a husband. Now that they’re divorced, he keeps calling himself a husband. It’s ironic to hear that. Joe thought.

Madison interjected, taking Joe’s cue, “Mr. Palmer, I have nothing more to do with you. Please, let go.”

‘It’s almost mealtime. Although there aren’t many customers coming in at the moment, occasionally there will be unfamiliar people..

‘I don’t want to wake up tomorrow and see any posts related to him on the news, especially with photos in that posture. I have nowhere to hide my face.

‘Moreover, the current confrontation not only involves the two of them, but it is also possible that Joe will be implicated.

“Despite the awkwardness of the situation, with the possibility of onlookers and the complexities involving their corporate ties – Joe with XR Entertainment and Leo with Palmer Group – they stand there, a standoff of personal and professional tensions.

‘Explosions within explosions, Madison thought that it was truly embarrassing and already found a place to bury herself.

To prevent that from happening, it was more important to escape from Leo’s clutches. Seeing that Leo did not react at all, she reminded him politely.

“Mr. Palmer, could you let go, please?” Madison requested.

“Mr. Palmer?” Madison repeated.

Leo lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth, repeated.

Madison nodded and was about to speak when she heard a cold laugh from above.

Later, the force on the back of her n*eck became even stronger, pulling Madison closer and pressing her back against Leo’s chest.

“Uh…” Madison felt very uncomfortable.

Madison struggled to leave, ignoring the pain in her n*eck caused by the tight collar. She raised her hand and forcefully pushed away Leo’s-arms.

Between the movements, only a crisp sound was heard. Following that, her hand back also felt a tingling sensation, not knowing if it had just hit his face or somewhere else.

She only knew that her n*eck was hurting, and stumbled two steps before being supported by someone.

“Is everything alright?” Joe’s voice rang out, full of concern.

“I’m okay, just got a bit scared,” Madison shook her head and glared at Leo while covering her n*eck.

She turned her gaze from Leo, her eyes catching sight of the damaged roses, lamenting softly, “My flowers.”

The irony of Leo witnessing her distress and the damaged flowers added to the tension

of the moment.

It was more glaring than when Leo saw Madison crying in the car and coaxed immediately by Joe.

“Madison, is this the partner you mentioned? Is this what you meant by having no other relationship?” Leo asked.
