Chapter 43

Madison pretended to be clueless. “What? I don’t remember anything.”

“You ask me if…” Leo answered.

“So will you?” Before Leo could finish speaking, Madison interrupted him straight away.

She stopped on the steps leading to the villa and turned to look at Leo.

She was one step up so she could look Leo in the eye.

“Of course not.” Leo furrowed his brow. Although he didn’t understand why Madison asked such a question, he answered.

“Since you won’t, then it’s settled. Why are you still asking?” Madison shrugged.

She turned her head again and lifted her foot, taking off her high heels. She stood barefoot on the ground, her back looking a little weary.

Leo’s eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, but he quickly realized that Madison was changing the subject.

‘I asked her why she asked such a question, but she demanded an answer from me instead, thought Leo,

He stepped forward and caught up with Madison. I just don’t understand what you’ve been through to ask me such a question. Madison, death is not a trivial matter. Not to mention that murder is illegal. I don’t have the ability to escape punishment, and even if I do, I won’t lay a hand on you.

“Why would company secrets be comparable to her life? Leo thought.

Madison’s footsteps suddenly came to a halt.

She didn’t turn her head but stayed silent. Then she gave a slight smile. “I haven’t been through anything. Death is certainly not a trivial matter. That’s why I will live my life. well.”

It was unknown whether she was saying it to Leo or herself.

She walked slowly. Step by step, she went up the stairs.

After stepping over this hurdle, no one would owe anyone anything in the future.

Leo did not disturb her behavior but quietly followed behind, watching as she slowly moved forward like a child learning to walk for the first time.

Chapter 43

Suddenly, he remembered that his grandfather said when Madison learned how to walk, she always loved to hold onto him.

First, she grabbed Leo’s hand and walked with him. When she gained stability, she released her grip. A big smile spread across her chubby face as she looked back at Leo, seeking his approval.

He was too young at that time and naturally could not remember, but it did not stop his grandfather from mentioning it often when he was alive. It left such an image in his mind.

But now, the girl walking ahead of him no longer looked back at him again. She entered

the villa.

“Have you been living here during this period?” There were obvious signs of someone living in

in the villa, which surprised Madison when she entered.

Leo loosened his tie and tossed it onto the sofa before fetching two glasses of water. “I have been living here all along.

Madison paused at the words. Her hands stopped in mid-movement of receiving the glass.

he been living here all along? If I remember correctly, this villa was chosen to be our home. However, I was sent abroad just when I moved in. So I stayed just one night the last time. It is hard

to imagine that Leo would live here, a place that displeased him,”

Madison thought.

“Not drinking?” Leo was still holding out the cup of water to her.

Madison didn’t hesitate to accept. She was indeed thirsty and reached out to take the cup. “Thank you.”

The water was warm. As it entered her stomach, it brought a sense of warmth, making her b*dy much more comfortable.

Regardless of what Leo was up to, she sat down on the sofa to rest for a while. She was afraid of d*rtying the couch, so she even took a small blanket and placed it under her..

Leo looked at her and turned to go back into the kitchen.

10 minutes later, a steaming cup of hot lemon water was placed before Madison.

“Drink this.” Leo took away her cup.

“You… You made it?” Madison was both surprised and bewildered.

But what surprised her even more was not just this.

Chapter 43

She watched helplessly as Leo squatted in front of her, held onto her ankles, and used a warm towel to wipe the soles of her feet.

However, the haughty young gentleman before her remained oblivious, his tone languid. “Or what? Mrs. Palmer, are there any other individuals at Creek Court?”

Madison’s heart ski pped a Beat. She wanted to pull her foot back when she returned to

her senses.

Before she could react, Leo had let go of her.

Soon after, a pair of pink plush sl*ppers were placed at her feet.

“Don’t be willful during your period. I forgot about it earlier. Don’t walk barefoot on the ground again the next time, okay?” Leo said as he took a moist tissue to wipe his hands. and placed the cup of hot lemon water into Madison’s hands.

“It’s not very hot. Hold it. Drink it and go upstairs to rest. Your clothes are there, and they are clean,” Leo said.

The warmth of the palm and the taste of hot lemon water finally brought Madison back

to her senses.

She did not refuse Leo’s kindness and took a sip of the lemon water.

With just a sip, she put it down and looked up at Leo. “Leo, why have you prepared women’s clothing at Creek Court? Are you bringing Sally here?”

She originally wanted to ask if Leo often did these thoughtful things for Sally.

But asking this was equivalent to bringing disgrace upon herself. In comparison, the other issue seemed more closely related to her.

‘If

my memories served me right, I took everything that belonged to me when I left Creek Court with Joe then. Leo said that there were clean clothes belonging to me inside the room. Why did he prepare my clothes for no reason? If Sally were the one who prepared it, I would feel awkward about it even if they wouldn’t, Madison thought.

Leo didn’t think too much about it and said, “The clothes in the villa are prepared for you, and your size is different from Sally’s. Besides, why should I bring her here?”

“For me?” Madison frowned.

‘I had no intention of returning after moving out of Creek Court. Is he out of his mind. for preparing clothes for me?” Madison thought.

But apparently, Leo had no intention of explaining.

Chapter 43

He wouldn’t explain. It was because ever since Madison left the last time, he had a

nagging feeling that something was not right in the villa. That was why he had someone buy some clothes for her and put them in the house.

Everything was fine in the past three years without her. But as soon as Madison came back, nothing seemed right.

Leo took his tie and was about to leave. “I will go upstairs. You can come up by yourself later.”

“Wait! I have something to tell you.” Madison rose from her seat.

She didn’t forget why she came here with Leo. As such. she wouldn’t let him leave easily.

Leo seemed to know what she wanted to say and refused flatly. “Let’s talk about it tomorrow. It’s late. Go to bed early.”

“What if you disappear tomorrow morning? Do I have to stay here forever? Or, how about this? You postpone the company matters tomorrow, and we will go to the city hall to finish the divorce procedure. I can tell you are unreliable, so it’s more efficient for us to go in person,” Madison said before Leo left.

Leo stopped in his tracks, holding onto the staircase railing to look back at her. “You came back with me tonight just to talk about the divorce, didn’t you?”

Madison was helpless. “Duh! Do I have something else to discuss with you?”

Leo looked at her with a deep gaze.

After a brief confrontation, he suddenly took a step toward Madison. “Mrs. Palmer, I have made it very clear. Once you cut ties with the Daves family, we can go through with the divorce.”

With that, the suit on Madison’s shoulders was thrown to the ground.
