Leo’s body stiffened when he felt the kisses on his neck.
He gritted his teeth and warned, “Madison Hale, behave yourself!”
He held Madison’s slender waist with one hand and raised his other hand to touch her forchead, trying
to keep her head away from him.
However, he failed to manage both.
When Leo controlled Madison’s head, Madison messed up Leo’s suit and reached out
her hands inside.
Leo frowned and said in a low and h oar se voice, “Don’t move, okay?”
However, Madison was asleep and unconscious. She thought she was hugging a big furry plush.
She instinctively wrapped her arms around Leo’s firm waist.
Madison tried to look for a comfortable place to lean her head against. Unfortunately, Leo blocked
Madison’s head with his hand. Thus, Madison could not find a perfect pillow.
In the end, she straightly rested her head on Leo’s palm and slept in his arms awkwardly. Her posture
was strange and did not seem out of place.
Madison finally quieted down.
Morris was driving. When he realized there was no more sound in the backseat, he took
a look through the interior mirror and could not help but laugh. “Pffi”
Leo stared at Morris coldly.
Thus, Morris immediately raised the partition, not daring to take another look.
Having a separate space, Madison became even quieter.
Leo looked at the woman in his arms and had a headache.
He could not hold Madison’s head all the way home. Frustrated, he slowly moved Madison’s head onto
his arm and retracted his hand.
Madison found her new pillow comfortable and did not move around.
Leo looked down at the woman in his arms and could not help but snort. “How dare you drink so much
since you know you’re a light drinker? I’m glad the alcohol didn’t kill

you.”
Probably hearing that Leo was scolding her, Madison moved a bit and rubbed her head against Leo’s
chest.
Leo tensed up again and sat straight like a robot.
Fortunately, Madison did not do anything evil while she was drunk. She only found a more comfortable
position to sleep.
The scenery outside the car receded, and the passage of time was evident in the changing landscapes
beyond the window.
With the partition in place, the back seat instantly felt more cramped.
Madison’s body fragrance mixed with the smell of fruit wine gradually spread as if she had brewed
another glass of decent wine.
Leo felt a breath-catching intensity as Madison’s enchanting fragrance filled the air.
He knocked on the partition and
id slowly in his deep voice, “Morris, raise the partition and open the window. I need some fresh air.”
Morris lowered the partition. His curiosity overrode his sanity. He asked, “Mr. Palmer, are you done?”
As soon as Morris finished speaking, he sensed Leo’s icy gaze through the interior.
mirror.
At that moment, Morris felt an overwhelming desire to escape. He wished he could open the car door
and step away from the embarrassing scene.
He cried inside, ‘What did I do? Why did I ask that?”
Thus, Morris hurriedly explained, “Mr. Palmer. I mean, Madam didn’t move anymore…
The more he tried to explain, the deeper he dug himself into a hole. Eventually, Morris. shut up and
drove in silence.
Leo had no intention of explaining. He looked at the scenery outside the car with a cold. expression.
The car fell into silence once more, with only the sound of the wind whistling by breaking the quiet.
When they almost arrived at the Creek Court, Madison slowly opened her eyes and murmured in a h
oar se voice. “I’m so thirsty.”

Leo suddenly did not dare to move. He did not even dare to look down at Madison.
He hesitated to meet Madison’s gaze, fearing it might trigger her painful memories and lead to tears
during the car ride.
Fortunately, what Leo was worried about did not happen. Madison was still leaning in his arms and
could not be bothered to move.
Madison asked, “Do you have water? I want some water.”
Her voice carried a hint of vulnerability, weariness, and deep-seated grievance..
Leo locked eyes with Morris, a silent eye exchange passing between them. Responding to the
unspoken cue, Morris gradually cased off the accelerator, reaching for a bottle of water that he
extended toward Leo with a knowing look.
Leo opened the water and put it in Madison’s hand. Madison sat up slightly, but she did not reach out to
take it. She drank quietly while Leo held the bottle..
Madison guzzled the water as if she were a tourist stranded in the desert for ages.
When half of the bottle of water was gone, Madison finally stopped and leaned back into Leo’s arms,
murmuring. “I’m so tired.”
Leo wrapped his arms around Madison and screwed the bottle of water. He chuckled when he heard
Madison’s words, asking. “Wow. Did you get tired from drinking water or from sleeping? My delicate
princess. What do you say?”
Madison looked up and glared at Leo, crying, “I’m not delicate!”
Madison was probably still unconscious. Her eyes were bright. Leo felt it difficult to move his gaze off
her eyes.
Leo lowered his head and stared at Madison’s face, replying in a low and h oa rse voice, “Yeah. You’re
not delicate.”
She let out a little snort as if Leo’s words had extinguished her anger.
However, when Madison woke up, she had a bad temper. She was like a little girl who had not slept
enough and was throwing a tantrum at Leo.
“Leo, I have a headache.”
She looked aggrieved and pitiful. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Leo let Madison make a scene and did not say anything.
Madison felt increasingly upset. She seized Leo’s hand and pleaded, ‘Massage my head.

It’s throbbing like needles. It hurts.
Madison reached out her warm hand and grabbed Leo’s dry palm, but she couldn’t lift it with much
strength. Then, her hand fell.
Leo said, “You deserve it.
Leo did not move and let Madison do whatever she wanted, nagging. You made the decision. So, you
should take the consequence of having too much alcohol
“I won’t drink anymore. I won’t drink anymore, okay?
Madison widened her watery eyes and looked at Leo pitifully. She looked different when she was
drunk.
She was as innocent as a piece of white paper.
Leo thought. She doesn’t have her usual heavy makeup. making her look like a delicate young lady. I
can’t say more harsh words. I only want to hold her in my arms and cherish her. I can forgive her for
anything.
Thus, Leo raised his hand and placed his finger on Madison’s temple, massaging it slowly.
Madison was like a cat whose chin was being scratched. She was so comfortable that she closed her
eyes and nestled in Leo’s arms again.
A while later, she suddenly opened her eyes and asked softly. “Are you tired?”
Leo stared at Madison and replied, “A little.”
“Then I’m fine with the pain.
She avoided Leo’s hand and buried herself in his arms. Her sca ttered long hair wrapped around his
fingers with the wind.
The car drove on the road.
The afternoon sun shone through the tall sycamore trees by the roadside and reflected on Madison’s
exquisite face.
Leo stopped looking at the beautiful scenery outside the car. Instead, he lowered his head and stared
at Madison’s face.
After a long while, he asked, “Have you settled the divorce procedures?”
He was talking to the driver, Morris.

“What?” Morris was stunned. After a moment, he reacted and replied, “No. Not yet. Mr. Palmer.”
Morris thought, ‘I got the divorce agreement at noon. Before I could leave the company, Leo asked me
to drive him somewhere. How could I have the time to complete all the documents? I’m not a capable
robot.
Morris asked hesitantly. “Are you planning to go with Madam personally when she wakes up?”
Actually, Morris wanted to ask if Leo still planned to have a divorce.
Morris thought, ‘After all, no matter how I look at it, the couple hugging each other doesn’t seem that
they are about to get a divorce. However, Morris changed his words. when he thought of Leo’s long
face when he gave him the divorce agreement.
Leo sat in the backseat and was not in a hurry to answer. He looked outside and was lost in thoughts.
Morris opened the front seat windows, and the wind entered through the gap.
The wind lifted Madison’s flowing hair, letting it fall onto Leo’s shoulders, playfully dancing around his
neck and brushing past his ears.
