Chapter 77
The car stopped at the entrance of Creek Court. Morris was still waiting for Leo’s
answer.
After a long while, he heard Leo’s low voice.
Leo grunted Adam’s apple and said, “Leave the divorce papers for now. When Madison wakes up, she and I will go in person.”
Morris nodded and replied, “I understand, Mr. Palmer. I’m afraid that I need to return to the company now.”
Leo said, “Alright, wait a moment.”
Leo would not let Morris take a taxi back to the company. He asked Morris to drive the car to the company.
Leo had a variety of cars stored in his villa’s garage. If he desired, he could also request Morris to fetch him when it was time to head back to work.
At this moment, Leo was tidying up Madison’s clothes and trying to carry her down. gently.
Morris was watching them.
He had never seen his boss like this before. He thought, ‘Leo’s expression is gentle, and so are his actions. It is like he is dealing with something fragile.
‘Everyone thinks Sally will be the future Mrs. Palmer, but I’ve never seen Leo treat Sally with such an attitude.
‘Instead, Leo treats Sally with politeness, distance, and indifference. It seems that Sally has something on Leo.
‘I am sure Leo and Sally definitely are not lovers.
‘Being with Madison, Leo always behaves like a real person.”
Morris could not help but ask the question in his heart, “Mr. Palmer, are you really going to divorce Madison?”
When Leo heard Morris’s question, he was bending down to carry Madison out of the car and was about to turn around to return to the villa.
Leo stood up and hugged Madison firmly.
He looked at Morris calmly and asked, “What are you trying to say?”
Chapter 77
Morris was a little scared when he heard that.
Morris knew his boss did not like people in the company paying too much attention to his private life. However, Morris became bold when he realized Leo’s voice was calm.
Morris explained, “Mr. Palmer, I might have said too much. Don’t mind me. I feel that you treat Madison quite well. You seem to like her so much. As for Madison, we’ve known it since we were young. The two of you are in love. Why do you want a divorce with Madison?”
Leo did not say a word, and there was no joy or anger on his face.
Seeing this, Morris considered that Leo was listening to him. Thus, he continued, “My girlfriend and I Men quarrel. Mr. Palmer, you’ve always been concerned about the lady from the Hale family. Madison naturally gets mad at you. You need to spend more time. and gentleness on girls. If you talk to her, she definitely won’t be mad at you. The two of
you…”
“Morris.”
Before Morris could finish, Leo interrupted coldly.
“You do talk a bit too much.”
Seated in the driver’s seat, Morris was taken aback. Thoughts raced through his mind as he attempted to pinpoint where he might have misspoken and unintentionally offended his boss.
Leo did not make things difficult for Morris. Instead, he opened his mouth and explained, “I don’t like Madison. We don’t love each other. That’s why I’ll divorce her.”
Morris was shocked to hear Leo’s answer and asked further, “So. Mr. Palmer, do you really like Miss Hale?”
Leo stared at Morris and asked, “Is there a problem?”
Morris immediately shook his head and replied, “No, no. Mr. Palmer, I have to go now!”
Morris did not dare to argue that his boss did not act like he liked Sally.
Morris thought, ‘How could anyone like a person as if he is carrying out a mission?
“True love should be being happy for your partner’s happiness and being upset for your partner’s sadness. Isn’t it? Your partner’s every move attracts your attention.
‘However, I didn’t see Leo has even been into those emotions for Sally.
‘On the contrary, Leo begins to have emotions in recent years because of Madison.

Even if most of the time Leo is angry, it is much better than having no emotions.
Leo looks like he is forced to have a relationship with Sally. Instead, he seems to love. his current wife, Madison.
‘However, Leo rejected to marry the woman that Edgar had chosen for him and jumped into a fire pit.
Morris could not say much about other people’s private matters.
Morris stepped on the accelerator and drove away after saying goodbye. He did not dare to stay one more second.
Leo looked at the departing car and stood still for a moment.
After a while, he turned around and walked towards the villa.
Resting in Leo’s embrace, Madison stirred and whispered gently, Leo, put me down.”
Her eyes were wide open and clear. However, her enunciated tone revealed that she was
still drunk.
Leo asked, “Are you sure you can keep your balance?”
Leo did not listen to Madison and entered the villa with steady footsteps.
He placed Madison on the sofa and said, “Sit down for a while. I’ll make you a bowl of hangover soup.”
He had been living in Creek Court for the past three years and had everything in the
kitchen.
Madison pulled Leo back and asked, “If you don’t like me, why did you marry me? If it’s because of Ed
I can talk to him. Moreover, logically speaking, the person you should marry is Sally. She is a real member of the Hale family.”
It was obvious that her memory was in a mess.
Leo remained motionless. He straightened up and inquired, “You know I ought to marry Sally. So, why did you still decide to marry me?”
“Because…
Madison probably did not expect Leo to ask such a question and was too drunk to think straight. Thus, she answered the question honestly.
“Well, I like you. You agreed to marry me, so why shouldn’t I seize the chance? Maybe I can make you fall for me all over again. Remember when we were young, and

me you liked me?”
With that, she pulled her hand back, looking discouraged.
She continued. “But how can I take what you said years ago seriously? I’m evil, am I? I didn’t stop Edgar because I really wanted to marry you.
“I also wanted to give myself a chance. What if I could get you to fall for me again?”
She muttered softly as if there was no one beside her.
Leo looked down at Madison quietly and did not say anything else.
Madison did not continue. It was probably because these questions were too troublesome and gave her a headache.
She knocked her head, picked up a pillow, and curled up on the sofa.
She complained. “My head hurts. I don’t want to think about it anymore…
She groaned on the sofa, with her head in a daze.
Following that. Madison was a bit hazy about the events. All she could recall was someone coaxing her to ingest something unappealing, being lifted gently, and then settling into a more comfortable resting spot.
Then, the world fell completely silent.
When she woke up again. it was four in the morning.
She was woken up by hunger.
וו
After the hangover, her head still hurt a little. Looking at the unfamiliar and somewhat familiar room around her, she felt like she was in outer space.
The pain of hunger in her stomach brought her back to some level of consciousness.
She had not eaten anything since she went out yesterday. She slept until now, so at this moment, she was almost relying on her instincts to replace food.
It was not quite summer yet, and the morning carried a slight chill.
Madison pushed open the door and felt a chill.
She rubbed her arms and could not replace the switch for the staircase light. After thinking for a while, she fumbled downstairs in the dark.
However, she could not see anything without the lights. When she missed a step, she could not help but cry out in surprise. Luckily, she reacted quickly and held onto the

railing. Then, she walked down step by step.
Madison heaved a sigh of relief when she finally stepped on the ground floor.
n
Just as she was about to look for the light switch on the first floor, someone turned on the lights. The brightness made her squint.
At the same time, a man’s low and h oa rse voice came from upstairs.
“What are you doing?”
