Chapter 168

Madison hummed softly and explained, “You should have seen my situation on the Internet. Now that I’ve found my family and have divorced, I have to return. My family doesn’t live in Sidovor City. I’ve already settled my matters here. There’s no need to stay here any longer.”

As for which city to go to, she did not mention it. Firstly, there was no need. She was not familiar with Ronnie. Secondly, she did not want the people she knew in the past to have anything to do with her future. Although Ronnie was only a passing passerby in her memories, he was still related to the past.

She did not want to remind herself of that broken relationship, nor did she want to think about those people from the past anymore.

She knew very well that she was a little stubborn in something. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept an eye on Leo for so many years. There were many rich and good-looking young men in this community. Even if she was willing to be the Hale family’s puppet in the marriage alliance, she was bound to find a good man.

Perhaps the new man would not love her to the point where he was willing to do anything for her. At least he would treat her with respect like most couples, and she was certain that he would not kick her out of his life like Leo.

However, she didn’t consider other choices. She made a stu pid decision on Leo.

There was no way for her to completely let go of the past, but it was really stu pid to restrict herself to the past. Therefore, she chose to escape and bury the memories in the dust. She pretended to reconcile with the past and walked the path of the future.

Others thought that she had gotten a divorce to stop her losses in time because she had escaped from the wrong trap. Her brothers thought so, and even she sometimes lied to herself in this way.

However, in reality, she was just rationally following the right path. In her heart, she was screaming that Leo should have been hers. She tried to rush out of the cage and questioned why she should leave him. Why should a wife leave her husband?

However, humans were not beasts who always obeyed their nature.

She was willing to endure the pain and grievances to be with Leo, but being willing was one thing. To do it was another.

Sometimes, she wondered if she was a masochist. She was still in love with him, but how could people control their feelings? She could only endure and control her actions, but she could not control herself from loving him.

Fortunately, her rationality had the upper hand. She was willing to pretend to let go of the past as long as others could not tell. There were even people who praised her for being carefree.

For example, Ronnie, who was sitting opposite.

He was very careful about social etiquette and did not ask much about her current family situation. He only nodded. “That’s good. I think your parents treat you well. Then I wish you a good future.”

‘Yeah, it’s pretty good!’

As far as she was concerned, she had found her biological parents and gotten rid of the infamy of an infatuated woman. As for Leo, he had also found his true love and gotten rid of her, a burden.

‘We’re all good now. The future would get better and better.’

Madison smiled at Ronnie. “Thank you.”

She glanced at her phone and got up from her chair. “I’m going to pick up Chuck and take a look at the kitchen. Please wait here for a while. Sorry to leave you alone. We’ll be back soon.”

Ronnie was a decent gentleman. He shook his head and said, “It’s alright. I was the one who bothered you. Go ahead.”

Madison nodded and left. She maintained a faint smile until she walked out of the private room.

She realized that it was comfortable to talk to Ronnie. She did not need to consider many things. Although this was the first time they were getting along at such a distance, this person had boundaries. It was a little abrupt when he suggested giving her a ride, but then he did not make her feel uncomfortable.

It was no wonder that he could become the Wilkinson family’s leader at such a young age. After all, he was different from Leo. The Palmer family did not have any illegitimate sons to compete with him, while the Wilkinson family was very chaotic.

Putting aside her prejudices, Madison was willing to be friends with this Wilkinson.

Unfortunately, some people were destined to be passersby.

young Mr.

After giving Chuck directions, she went to the kitchen. She had already considered leaving in two days soon. She had to inform Greg officially.

She had forgotten about it. Now that she had made a heartfelt talk with Ronnie, she felt

much better. It was time to face her failure. And she had even agreed to give Ronnie a VIP card. She could not go back on her word. After all, the card did not provide any good discounts.

She was very quick to act. After making her decision, she told her plan to Mr. Holland.

During this period, it was all thanks to him taking care of her. Moreover, she had to be recommended by him to meet Mr. Nolan. She already had an opportunity that most people in this world would not have, so she did not have to blame anyone else.

People should be content.

She could only blame herself for not having the ability to satisfy Mr. Nolan’s palate.

However, she had always been half-lucky. She was the Hale family’s daughter, and she had married Leo as she wished. It was the same this time. After the anger in her heart subsided, there was nothing to complain about.

However, Greg was extremely surprised. He no longer had the mood to check how his disciples in the kitchen were learning. He looked like an old father sending his most beloved daughter to get married.

“Why are you leaving so fast? Didn’t you say that it would be next week? I was planning to cook a few dishes for you on the day you leave. I don’t know what to do now that you’re going so suddenly.”

Greg’s life had been like a ship sailing on choppy waters. In his early years, his wife left in childbirth. He had raised the kids with his father. Unfortunately, in Sidovor City, decades ago, a flood had swept his son away. After that, his father had also left, leaving him alone with the kids he had adopted to support Rose Garden.

His attitude towards Madison was naturally different.

Although she was not the child he had raised, they had supported each other all these years. She had given money to support Rose Garden. The Holland family gave her the warmth absent from the Hale family. Now Greg felt complicated with her leaving.

At first, he thought that if the Hale family didn’t want this girl anymore, he would let her be registered with the Holland family. Even if she couldn’t get married, the Holland family was willing to support her for the rest of her life.

Now, her life was getting better and better. She had found a family who truly loved her, but she was about to leave Sidovor City.

As he thought about it, his heart ached even more. His eyes turned red. He wouldn’t do this even if he cut green onions.

“Don’t be like this. It’s not like I’m not coming back. Back then, when I wanted to go overseas, you weren’t crying.” Madison felt a lump in her throat. However, she held it in and pulled her back with a smile. “I’m just going home, Rozalia. Nowadays, transportation is advanced and it just takes two hours. If I miss you, I’ll come back to see you whenever I like.”

The older Greg was, the more he valued their friendship or even kinship. He immediately looked up at her. “Are you coming back to see me, this old man? Every time you called me overseas, you would ask about the recipe. You only called me when you forgot how to cook a dish. How could you miss me?”

Madison smiled with guilty tears in her mind. “Why don’t I give you my home address? If I

go back on my word one day, you can arrest me. How about that? Or you can just leave with me. Anyway, Rose Garden has Justin to take care of it. You’re already so old, it’s time for you to find a place to retire.”

Greg seriously considered her suggestion. “If you don’t despise an old man like me, I can buy a house at Rozalia.”

In his heart, he treated Madison as his daughter. Rose Garden had been a successful restaurant. And now the business was stable and Justin alone could deal with it. He could even buy a house at Masterwood with the money he earned. So Rozalia was not a

bad choice.

Madison wouldn’t mind. “How can I let you spend money? If you want to stay over, I can arrange it.”

“That won’t do. No.” Greg waved his hand. He suddenly thought of something and looked up. “By the way, you’re in such a hurry to go back. Did that old fa rt relent?”
