Chapter 211
"I... I don't know, honestly." Cullen was also helpless. He was afraid that Leo would not believe him, so he took out his recent chat history with Madison and showed it to him. "See for yourself. I've tried everything, but I couldn't trick Jessica into telling me where she is."Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Leo looked up and glanced at his screen. Suddenly, he let out a chuckle filled with self-mockery. "She talks a lot to you."
With Leo, Madison either scolded him or told them to keep a distance from her. She was heartless and straightforward, but it was reasonable.
Cullen looked at his good friend and awkwardly took his phone back. "I'm just bored. That's why I chatted with Jessica every day. She has a good temper, so she replied to me. It's all because I took the initiative, you know?"
If he had known that it would give Leo a blow, Cullen wouldn't have shown him his phone. Seriously...
Moreover, most of Cullen's chat history was of him complaining to Madison about yesterday's wedding. It was not an exaggeration to say that Cullen was making fun of Leo. He was simply pouring salt on Leo's wounds.
Cullen looked conflicted. Just as he was thinking about how to comfort Leo, he saw that Leo did not seem to care about his complaints about Sally at all. Leo only repeated in confusion, "Take the initiative?"
Leo held the broken phone in a daze. "Will she forgive me? But I don't even know where she is. How can I find her to get her to forgive me..."
'Oh. Leo is deep in it now,' he thought. Cullen was too lazy to comfort Leo.
Leo only had Madison in his mind now. Nothing else was important. It did not matter if Cullen made fun of him and Sally in front of him.
Although Cullen, who was experienced in matters of love, had guessed that such a day would come, he did not expect Leo to be in such a state. Was there ever a man who was as innocent as Leo? Even his heartbreak seemed to be more intense than others.
Cullen sighed heavily and gave Leo, whose brain had been occupied by Madison, an idea. "Why don't you ask the Rose Garden? Isn't Jessica very familiar with the imperial chef's successor? You might know where Jessica is if you ask him."
As for whether Madison would forgive Leo... Cullen found that hard to say.
Cullen had never had the habit of turning back after breaking up. The next woman would always be better, so Cullen could not help Leo at all in that aspect.
After all, Cullen would never marry until he met the right person. It was different from Leo who went straight to marriage.
"By the way, the last time I went to the Rose Garden, I heard that Chuck is also investigating where Jessica is. Why do you think he's looking for Jessica?" Cullen said nonchalantly as he casually twirled the pen in his fingers.
As soon as Cullen finished, Leo suddenly looked up.
Leo finally got up from the chair, picked up the suit on the couch, and put it on.
Cullen's heart skipped a beat. "What are you doing, Leo? Don't tell me you want to go out like that? Tidy yourself up. Otherwise, the people at Rose Garden and Mr. Holland will think that you come from some slum!"
Leo froze. When he heard that, he stood still and looked at his current appearance through the glass.
Leo had not slept since he woke up last night. Coupled with his unstable emotions, he looked a little worn out. Later on, he smashed his phone and cut his hand on a fragment because his head hurt too much, and he was trying to wake himself up.
Therefore, Leo did look a little unsightly. His hair was messy, he was ill, and his hands were stained with blood... Indeed, he had been a little too hasty.

In Rozalia, Madison had just prepared breakfast for the entire family.
There was a variety of food. There were convenient and frozen foods that were heated up, and there were also some that were made in the morning.
As the men woke up at different times, Madison did not wake them up. She left the food in the kitchen to keep them warm and waited for them to come down to eat.
There were only her and Charlie in the dining room. John had already eaten and gone to work. Madison planned to send her nephew to school after feeding him.
Originally, John wanted the driver to pick Charlie up. However, after listening to Charlie last night, Madison decided to send him off herself.
Children had strong self-esteem. Sometimes, they wanted their family to accompany them but were unwilling to say it. If they felt aggrieved, they would swallow it themselves. Madison's heart ached. Charlie's mother was still nowhere to be found. John was also very busy with the company every day. If the other children were picked up by their parents to go to and from school, but Charlie was fetched by the driver every day, he would feel sad.
Although Madison was not Charlie's mother, he would be happier if his family occasionally sent him to and from school.
Besides, she hadn't decided on the address of her studio yet, so she wasn't busy. Madison could take some time to spend with her family.
Madison was placing their breakfast on the table when she suddenly sneezed.
"Aunt Madison, what's wrong?" Charlie looked at her worriedly and blinked his big eyes. "Is it because I slept with you last night that you couldn't sleep well and caught a cold?"
"That's not true. You are fragrant and soft. It's very comfortable to hug you and sleep." Madison looked at her cute nephew and could not help but pat his head. "It's nothing. Perhaps there's some dust. I don't have a cold."
Charlie was relieved when he heard that. He nodded seriously. "That's good."
Madison was amused by his demeanor and could not help but pinch his face. "Why are acting as though you are an old man?"
She looked at Charlie with heartache and couldn't help but bully him.
This morning, when she was helping him put on his clothes, Charlie told her not to tell John and the others what happened last night.
Firstly, Charlie was afraid that they would be worried. Secondly, Madison had just returned to the Daves family. If she went to cause trouble for Cybil, she would probably make the Cooper family unhappy. Moreover, the matter was already over. Yesterday, he disrespected Cybil and directly chased her away. There was no need to cause any more trouble.
Therefore, they might as well hide it for now. If he was bullied by Cybil again, Charlie would be braver and tell others about it so that he would not make things difficult for Madison. Cybil's thoughtfulness made Madison's heart ache even more.
Who wouldn't be pampered by their parents? Even Madison was treated well by Ramona before Sally returned, not to mention that Edgar treated her like a granddaughter.
This little nephew of hers had so many people who doted on him, but he lived very carefully. It was no wonder that Joe was unwilling to go home.
It was said that children from poor families took charge early, but if not for the pressure of life, who would be willing to bear such a responsibility?
As Madison thought about it, her hands became gentler as she rubbed his head.
Charlie blushed and lowered his head to eat silently. It was only at that moment that he acted like a child.
"Eat slowly. Don't choke. I'll send you to school later. I won't let you be late!" Madison looked at Charlie with affection.
Coincidentally, her phone rang. Without looking at who it was, Madison picked it up.
