Chapter 214
After the call with Madison ended, Greg could not stop smiling.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Madison was like a daughter who had married far away and was still thinking about her father. She would even give him some money from time to time.
Greg hummed a little tune and checked his boarding time and location according to what Justin had taught him last night.
Benton, who was sitting opposite Greg, wore a dark look. Seeing Greg's smug face, Benton could not help but rapped on the table. "Greg, why didn't you tell Madison about me?"
"What's the problem?" Greg was deliberately playing dumb. He raised his eyes and glanced at Benton lazily.
Seeing Benton's worried expression, the smile on Greg's face grew more obvious.
Served Benton right for pretending before Madison. Benton clearly acknowledged Madison's skills, but he had to pretend to be deep and say that the taste was not authentic. He hoped to leave an unfathomable image in Madison.
Fine. Madison felt that there was no chance and left!
It was no wonder that everyone said Benton had a bad temper and was strange. The rumors were all based on evidence. Wouldn't it be believable if they were groundless?
Now that Madison was gone for two months, Benton came to ask Rose Garden every day for a bit of food.
Benton even refused to admit it!
Greg snorted inwardly. He waited until Benton was about to lose his temper before he moved his phone over and spoke arrogantly, "There you go. I'm invited to Madison's house in two days. I've already bought the plane ticket. She'll pick me up at the airport."
Greg did not forget the reason why Madison stayed in Rose Garden. No matter what, he had to make Benton go with him. Since he was going as Madison's guest, he naturally had to bring gifts. Benton did not know what Greg was thinking. He was only thinking about Madison's good culinary skills.
Benton glanced at Greg's phone and immediately scolded, "You old fart, why did you buy a ticket in advance? Hurry up! Send me your flight details. I'll see if there are still seats on your flight."
After Benton retired, he went around looking for delicacies in the country. He had long since gotten used to buying tickets on his phone. He was an elderly who followed the times and was very fashionable. Benton could not be bothered to continue bickering with Greg. He took out his reading glasses and phone to confirm Greg's flight. He hurriedly chose a seat and bought a ticket. Be it the economy class or first class, he had to ensure he could board the plane first.
When the plane ticket was booked, Benton felt relieved.
At the thought of being able to taste Madison's cooking again, Benton's expression became much more relaxed. He was even a little impatient.
Greg looked at Benton and sneered. "Look at you. Do you have to go to this length for food? If you had agreed to my request back then, you wouldn't be doing this now."
Benton was also embarrassed. He did not expect that Madison would leave directly. She did not give him another chance.
But his evaluation at that time was not wrong. Although the taste was delicious, it was different from the taste in his memory.
Benton wanted to see Madison's talent and see if she could make the same taste as before. Was that a mistake? He didn't say that the food Madison made tasted bad.
However, Benton could not vent his anger on Madison, so he could only scold his old friend. "How can you criticize me? You said you'd bring me there two months ago, but you kept delaying it. You even said that your Gourment Competition would be postponed. How can you be so shameless to criticize me?"
After confirming that he would go to Rozalia to look for Madison, Benton did not want to stay in Rose Garden any longer.
After scolding Greg, Benton snorted coldly and left with his hands behind his back. He felt arrogant and smug.
Greg did not stop him, but he followed Benton out of the private room.
There were still some matters in the kitchen, and Rose Garden had adopted two more poor homeless children. Greg would go to Rozalia in two days. He had to explain to Justin about taking care of the restaurant and those children. No matter how busy the kitchen was, they had to take care of the children.
The children were young and pitiful. Now that they came to Rose Garden, they could not let them suffer anymore.
Greg was deep in thought and did not notice someone outside the door and almost bumped into him. He was shocked.
Greg was about to apologize when he looked up and saw two familiar faces. His face immediately darkened, and he swallowed his apology. What was the point of apologizing to Leo? It was a pity that he didn't kill Leo when he bumped into him!
Greg sidestepped around Leo and dashed to the kitchen.
Leo knew very well he was not welcomed.
In the past, he didn't think much of it. After all, they didn't have much interaction with each other. They served the food and he paid for them. When he left Rose Garden, they had nothing to do with each other.
But now...
Leo restrained the sadness in his eyes and looked in the direction where Greg left. Only then did Leo politely greet the other elder in front of him. "Mr. Nolan."
Putting aside his romantic problems, Leo's character was top-notch.
Benton used to have a good relationship with the Palmer family, so his prejudice against Leo was not as strong as Greg's.
Benton had also heard about the Palmer family's wedding recently. Although he did not understand it, as an elder, he could only feel pity.
He patted Leo's shoulder and advised him, "Your grandfather chose a good wife for you previously. You shouldn't have done what you've done."
It was no wonder that Greg despised Leo. Thinking of Madison's culinary skills, Benton was biased.
Leo admitted his mistake honestly. "You are right. I shouldn't have. I've already admitted my mistake. I'll change in the future."
His sincere attitude surprised Benton.
Benton nodded. "It's good that you know your mistake. How can people not make mistakes? It's just that some people can be forgiven if they're lucky. Some people live in the hatred of others for the rest of thei lives. It's difficult!"
Benton's tone was filled with emotion, and it was unknown what he recalled.
Leo pursed his lips and nodded. "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Nolan."
Benton chuckled and did not say anything else.
Just as he was about to leave, Leo stopped him. "Mr. Nolan, can I ask you a question..."
Leo's handsome face appeared conflicted and guilty, but the emotions in his eyes were very firm. He continued with difficulty, "Mr. Nolan, you're familiar with Mr. Holland. Do you know where my ex-wife, Madison, is? I want to apologize to her in person, but I don't know where she is."
When Benton heard that, his face lit up. "Oh! You've asked the right person!" Didn't he just find out?
After leaving Rose Garden, Leo's footsteps became much lighter.
The fatigue and dejectedness on his face visibly dissipated. Although he was still as aloof as before, anyone who approached him could feel the oppressive cold air dissipating.
Morris felt most of it.
Morris did not dare to speak his mind to Leo like Cullen. Even if he saw something he disapproved of, he only dared to complain silently.
Recently, Leo buried himself in work. He had been thinking about the company's projects even at his wedding.
When the wedding was ruined, Leo's oppressive presence rose once more. It was simply unbearable.
Fortunately, Leo recovered from the blow quickly. Morris was very gratified and felt that staying in Palmer Group was very promising. He was also bold enough to report on the transfer of Creek Court. However, Morris did not expect to see Sally when he returned to the company with the materials. What surprised him even more was that Sally was stopped downstairs by the security guards.
If it was a month ago... No, two days ago, it would not have been like this.
