“Of course, it’s to celebrate…” The words came to a sudden halt upon seeing Leo’s. expression.
Madison naturally did not continue with the rest of her sentence. She could not understand this man
and she pondered, ‘It is clear that you detested this marriage, agreeing only because of your
grandfather’s last wish. Now that we are getting divorced. shouldn’t you be happy? Why put on such a
sour face? This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
However, Madison didn’t have time to contemplate. Just a moment ago, the broken plate had cut
through the man’s fingertip, and clear water from the faucet mingled with streaks of crimson. She
frowned. “I’ll wash the plates. You go tend to the wound.”
“You don’t have to.” Leo casually threw the broken plate along with its pieces into the trash bin without
stopping. His hands continued their movements, rinsing the plate clean under the running water,
despite the injured hand,
There were only two plates, and with other tableware included, it was not worth changing personnel.
However, as Leo turned off the faucet, fresh crimson blood emerged from his hands again, a sight that
was quite glaring. The man, however, remained indifferent, casually grabbing a piece of napkin to wrap
around the injured hand before striding away, not sparing a single glance at the woman behind him.
Madison took small steps to catch up. “Where’s the first aid kit?” Even though she didn’t see clearly
how the plate ended up shattering in the sink, the wound was undoubtedly a result of her wanting to
eat. Not addressing it made her feel a bit guilty.
“Instead of wasting time worrying about this, why don’t you check your phone upstairs? I bet quite a
few people tried calling you. Leo didn’t even turn his head, throwing the blood-stained napkin into the
trash. He took strides to go upstairs, still maintaining the same indifferent demeanor. “I’m going upstairs
to catch some sleep. Don’t bother me again.”
Madison had intended to say more, but the last sentence made her shut her mouth. She thought to
herself, ‘Fine, I won’t bother you. After all, the wound did not seem too serious. Maybe, by the time I
find the first aid kit, it will have healed on its own. You can do whatever you want, I don’t really give a f
uck.”
However, Leo’s reminder prompted Madison’s alcohol-addled brain to start functioning. She thought to
herself, ‘I did not return home the whole night and did not inform Joe and the others. This is going to be
bad!” Without thinking about the consequences, she hastily went upstairs..
Leo, who had already reached the second floor, heard the commotion. Standing in front of the guest
room, he furrowed his brow, a hint of impatience on his face as het turned around. “I told you not to…
Before he could finish, Madison’s figure had already passed him.

“What’s wrong?” She stopped at the entrance of the master bedroom, about to open the door. Hearing
Leo’s words, she turned back, but he had already entered the room, slamming the door shut with a
loud thud.
Madison was stunned and though What’s wrong with this man?’ However, she did not dwell on it for too
long, though. After all, it was not the first time she had witnessed
since returning to the country. Sally’s ability to tolerate him.
Leo’s erratic behavi remained a mystery.
She pushed open the door and entered the master bedroom. As Leo had said, the changed clothes
and her bag were inside the room. The clothes seemed to have been washed and dried, neatly folded
on the sofa, emitting a faint fragrance when she picked them up. Her phone, taken out of the bag, had
run out of battery, and she had not brought a charging cable with her. The master bedroom was clean,
and after searching. for a while, she found nothing. After some contemplation, she decided to take the
phone and find Leo.
Before knocking on the door. Madison hesitated. After all, when she went upstairs, Leo had mentioned
going back to sleep. She had already disturbed his rest once, and another interruption might be
inappropriate. But after some consideration. shel thought he probably had not fallen asleep that quickly.
It had only been two minutes since he returned to his room. Her slightly bent fingers reached out and
knocked on the door. “Leo, are you asleep?” No one inside answered.
Madison stood at the door for a while, intending to turn back. Just as her steps began to move, the
door was pulled open. “Is there anything you need?” Leo’s deep voice was devoid of any emotion.
“I…” Madison turned around, her words suddenly stuck on her lips. The subsequent words were lost as
she saw the man in front of her. Leo had changed out of his sleepwear, not wearing anything on his
upper body, revealing a well-built physique with smooth triangular lines. However, the view was cut off
by shorts further down. Even so, the impact on Madison was significant, akin to the confusion after
waking up from a hangover.
“Satisfied with what you have seen?” Leo’s lazy voice spilled out as he knocked on the door with his
hand. Madison returned to her senses, and the gaze lingering on his abdominal muscles immediately
shifted upward, meeting his eyes for a moment before quickly looking away. “I’m sorry,” she said.
“No problem.” The man’s icy tone warmed up a bit.
Madison did not want to linger here, and her speech accelerated. “I came to ask if you have a phone
charging cable. My phone is dead. Can I borrow onc?”
Leo lowered his gaze, glancing at her black-screened phone. “Wait a moment.” With

those words, he turned and entered the room. There was no imposing figure in Madison’s line of sight,
and she breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling the absence of pressure. But in less than a minute,
Leo reappeared with the item in his hands. “You check it if it can work. He handed over the charging
cable, and the wound on his fingertip was quite evident, missing a piece of skin, and looking somewhat
serious.
The bathroom inside the room was lit, and from Leo’s demeanor, it did not seem like he was about to
go back to sleep but rather preparing for a shower. Madison took the charging cable, intending to leave
directly but could not resist probing a bit. She asked, “Are you not used to wearing clothes when you
sleep?”
Leo lowered his gaze, looking at her, and his eyebrows slightly raised at her words. Presumably, he
found the question too dubious and somewhat impolite. Madison hastily explained, “I was just casually
asking. If you find it offensive, I apologize.”
“No need.” Leo did not feel offended, his tone light as he answered, “After returning to the room, I could
not sleep, so I decided to take a shower. You happened to be knocking on the door.” That explained his
current appearance.
Madison acknowledged. “Well, then take care of the wound, avoid water. Although it’s not a big wound,
it looks quite serious, and hands are essential. They need protection. If it gets infected, it will be very
uncomfortable.”
“Are you concerned about me? Leo stared at her, suddenly speaking. Madison didn’t expect Leo to say
such a thing, momentarily stunned. Fortunately, he didn’t press. further, leaning against the door, and
continued, “I’ll be careful.”
“Okay, I’ll leave now. Thank you!” With those words, Madison thanked him and left, as if a wild beast
were chasing her. Her figure quickly disappeared from his line of sight. He didn’t rush to close the door,
replaying the scene of Madison fleeing in his mind. After a moment, he finally closed the door with a
light click.
In the master bedroom, Madison’s heart was pounding. She bellowed inwardly, ‘Da mn! This man! We
are getting a divorce, yet he still pulled such a move on me. She slapped her checks, quickly pushing
all the inappropriate thoughts out of her mind. But soon, she was no longer in the mood to think about
these things.
After charging her phone and turning it on, a series of missed calls and WhatsApp messages flooded
Madison’s screen. Not only Joc, Antoine, and Samuel in Sidovor City but even John had called her.
Jason also had sent her quite a few messages, asking about her whereabouts. Even ten minutes ago,
Ethan had called.
‘Goodness! I will never drink again!” Masidon screamed in her mind.
