Chapter 193
Cullen's expression was inexplicable. He tilted his head in disbelief and glanced sideways at Leo.
After one glance, Cullen retracted his gaze casually. "Madison isn't in Rose Garden. You won't be able to see her even if you go over."
He mercilessly exposed Leo's thoughts.
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned over on the sofa and muttered, "You're about to marry Sally, yet you still want to look for your ex-wife. It's kind of unreasonable." However, Cullen was also open-minded.
Since he could not stop his buddy from falling into an awkward situation, Cullen decided not to talk nonsense anymore.
It would make Cullen look petty if he was still angry with Leo.
After all, even the members of the Palmer family had relented. What could Cullen say?
However, since Leo had already made his choice, he should not think of Madison time and again.
Cullen was Leo's buddy, but Cullen also treated Madison as a friend.
Leo was not angry that Cullen saw through his excuse. He explained calmly, "I read Adonis's post and realized that Madison's injury was related to Sally. I think it's necessary to go over and apologize. I'm not just looking for her."
Although Sally told Leo the truth just now, the fact was that it was done by her fans. Logically speaking, she owed Madison an apology.
Moreover, after reflecting on what happened at the hospital last time, Leo felt that he had done something wrong.
Even though Leo was angry, his words were too harsh. That even made Madison cry.
During this time, Leo stopped himself from looking for Madison because everyone around him, including Madison, reminded him that they were already divorced. It was not appropriate for them to meet again. Therefore, he listened to her advice and stopped thinking about her. He placed all his attention and energy on the Palmer Group.
However, today's matter was different.
Madison was injured with a knife, and the criminal almost killed her.
Leo felt that he should go and visit her.
Leo did not know what excuse he should use to go over. To visit her as her ex-husband sounded a little ridiculous, and she had her brothers to take care of her. It seemed that Leo could only go there to apologize.
However, Cullen who was curled up on the sofa, mercilessly cut off his last reason.
"It has something to do with Sally, and you going to apologize? Aren't you afraid that Jessica will feel disgusted?"
Leo pursed his lips but did not refute Cullen's question.
Cullen got up from the sofa and said earnestly, "Leo, stop messing around. Since you chose Sally, you should lead your life with her and stop thinking about Jessica. It shouldn't be you to apologize. If you really feel guilty, why don't you get your fiancée to cause less trouble and do more charity work? As for Jessica..."
After a pause, a hint of loneliness appeared on Cullen's face.
"She's living well now. Her brother cares about her, and she has a stable relationship with Mr. Daves. Why do you have to find trouble for no reason?" After saying that, Cullen sighed heavily.
It was a pity that she had found a boyfriend so quickly after her divorce. She did not give Cullen any chance at all. Otherwise, he would want to woo Jessica. Although Cullen loved beautiful ladies, he still had his principles. If the lady already had a boyfriend, he would not go after her.
Leo who was sitting at the desk also sighed.
"I understand."
Leo spoke calmly as if they were collaborating on a project without any personal feelings.
After that, he did not speak again.
Cullen also suppressed all his emotions and didn't even mention Rose Garden anymore.
After that day, as everyone expected, Leo did not mention Madison again.
He concentrated on the company's business and occasionally took some time to prepare for his wedding with Sally.
As for Madison, she disappeared from the upper-class circle of Sidovor City once again.
Just like when she was sent overseas on the night of her wedding, she became a topic of conversation and was forgotten after she disappeared.
Occasionally, if her name was mentioned, it was also related to Antoine.
About a month ago, someone accidentally mentioned Madison in front of Leo. They looked at his expression nervously, afraid that he would be angry. After all, the couple separated on bad terms. Then, Madison and Leo's divorce was treated as an ordinary topic.
It was not an important issue as it was all about a man and a woman who didn't love each other.
Now that Leo had a new love, he naturally needed to know that this woman was of utmost importance to him.
Even Leo himself thought so.
However, he still saw Madison in his dreams, just like the three years when Madison was not by his side.
But most of the time, he would wake up and forget what kind of dream he had.
Leo was reluctant to wake up. He often felt moody when he went to work.
In the blink of an eye, it was Leo and Sally's wedding day.
It was a quiet day for the Palmer family as they did not inform any relatives or friends. Amber even declined to attend on the pretext that she was not in good health.
On the other hand, the commotion at the Hale family was huge. They spent a large amount of money on the booking of the entire hotel, not just the floor where the wedding ceremony was held.
The Hale family invited many guests. Not only were the direct relatives of the Hale family invited, but even business associates were invited. It was really a big day for the Hale family.
The news also reached Madison's ears.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
At that time, she was choosing a gift for the elders in the family with Wesley.
Because of Antoine's health, they did not dare to return to the Daves family directly after driving back from Mountain Fog to Rozalia two months ago.
If the elders saw Antoine's injury, his occasional cough, and the knife scar on Madison's neck, the elders would definitely reprimand them.
Afraid that the elders would be worried, the siblings decided to stay in Jason's villa first. After all, Jason seemed to enjoy staying in the hospital. It was a good idea to let everyone stay in his villa.
After recuperating for two months, Antoine had more or less recovered. The scar on Madison's neck was also gone. Just as Madison was about to go home, she did not expect that it was Leo's wedding. She instantly felt that it was not going to be a good day.
It was bad luck!
Madison did not want to look for any more gifts. She replied to Cullen who told her about the wedding.
[Can you talk to me about something better? Don't sprout nonsense!]
[Let me know where you are, Jessica! You don't know how bored I am in Sidovor City. I can only think about your cooking. Please cook something for me or I'll die!]
[If that happens, I will definitely come to your funeral.]
[Wow, you heartless plump girl! Send me your address immediately. I'll go and kill you secretly!]
Madison rolled her eyes at the message.
She stopped exchanging messages with Cullen. She switched off her phone and kept it in her bag. Then, she started to focus on choosing gifts with Wesley again.
Originally, she had made presents by herself when she returned to the country. However, there were too many people in the Daves family. If she wanted to make all the presents, she would not have enough time. Since she also did not have that much energy, she decided to spend some money to buy the presents instead.
In the future, she would give her family members the things she had designed as their birthday presents. After all, there would be enough time.
She did not need to consider whether she would be chased away after the next meal, nor did she need to worry about being beaten and scolded, nor did she need to put all her feelings into one person. She would love the people who treated her well with all her heart.
Her family.
After leaving the jewelry store, Madison had already forgotten about the wedding.
Just as she turned on her phone to reply to Joe, she saw another message from Cullen.
[Jessica! Darn! You don't know what you have missed at Leo's wedding. I didn't attend his wedding and missed a big show!]
Madison was surprised when she saw the exclamation mark.
She slowly typed a question mark.
