The bridal room.
If Leo hadn’t mentioned it, Madison really wouldn’t have any recollection of it.
She looked up and swept her gaze across the room. The general decoration was similar to the room
she remembered staying in with the Palmer family. However, if she took a closer look, she would notice
the obvious difference.
There was an additional cloakroom. It must have been connected to the next room.
Not only that but the carpet beside the bed was connected to the balcony outside. However, it was
covered by a curtain. It was only when Madison recollected that she realized it.
This position used to be just a bay window in her room.
Obviously, this room was not where she used to live. It was just that her things had been moved here.
“You remember now?”
Leo looked at her expression and said firmly.
Madison retracted her gaze and looked at him indifferently. “Yes, thank you for your reminder, Mr.
Palmer. I just remembered. I’m also very sorry to occupy your and your future wife’s room tonight.”
Leo choked and frowned. “Madison, can you speak properly?”
The corners of Madison’s lips curled up. “Mr. Palmer, how do you think I should speak? Am I wrong?
We’re getting a divorce sooner or later, and you’ll be marrying another woman. Since this old residence
will not be torn down, you will have to re-decorate a room. Logically speaking, isn’t using this room the
easiest option?”
That was the logic. Once Leo got married again, even if they bought a new villa outside, the family in
the old residence would definitely prepare a room for them.
Obviously, this room had been modified from Leo’s former bedroom on the second floor of the old
mansion. If a new room was to be made for him, the renovations would definitely be for this room.
Madison was right.
“But we’re not divorced yet.”
Leo said as he stared at that bright face, holding back his anger.
The smile on Madison’s face widened.

“Leo.”
She raised her eyes and looked around the room. Finally, she called out his name.

It was not the distant Mr. Palmer, nor was it the way she gritted her teeth when she was angry. Instead,
her tone was calm, like an old friend who had not seen him for many
years.
She retracted her gaze and finally looked at the man’s face.
“When I married you, I set off from the Hale family and completed the wedding ceremony with you.
Halfway through, you left the hotel and left me alone. In the end, I was sent to Creek Court and waited
for you there, alone. Finally, what I received was the news that you wanted me to go overseas.
“I had never been to this wedding room, let alone seen it. Even if I had heard of it and forgotten about
it, what’s the big deal?”
She kept staring at Leo’s face. She watched as the man’s anger gradually disappeared and his entire
person gradually became gloomy. Suddenly, a feeling of revenge rose in her heart.
Would he care that she had forgotten about this wedding room?
He did not care about this marriage, right?
He did not hesitate when he sent her off. Why did he have to call her Mrs. Palmer now?
She didn’t want to hear it.
She was no longer filled with expectations and fantasies like before.
She would be like him back then. She would crush every bit of hope without hesitation. Sooner or later,
everything that belonged to him would be replaced by something else.
“I’m going to wash up. Since Mr. Palmer is not able to go out, the two of us will just have to make do in
this room tonight.”
Madison picked up the change of clothes again. She felt much more relaxed after saying those words
just now. She even started to discuss the sleeping arrangements with Leo.
“By the way, Mr. Palmer, do you plan to sleep on the sofa or take the floor tonight? You’re too tall. Why
don’t you take out another blanket from the cabinet and sleep on the floor? It shouldn’t be a problem for
just one night, right?”
Leo looked up at her and did not say anything.

Madison did not care at all and looked straight at him. “Mr. Palmer, don’t tell me you want me to sleep
on the sofa? No matter what, I’m a guest and a girl…”
“Madison!”
Leo could not take it anymore and interrupted her. His original gloom was replaced by anger again.
Madison waved and smiled. She carried the towel and clothes into the bathroom.
After the door closed, the anger on Leo’s face slowly disappeared.
He got up from the sofa and tapped his hand that was hanging by his leg. Then, he curled it up slightly
and rubbed the knuckle of his index finger with the pad of his thumb. He looked around the room with
narrowed eyes.
Not to mention that Madison had never lived here, he had not either.
Edgar suddenly fell ill and his body was quickly deteriorating. His dying wish was to see them get
married.
He had forgotten how he had felt when he agreed to Edgar’s request. He was probably a little
frustrated, but he did not refuse.
After that, he registered the marriage with Madison and moved out of the old
residence.
When the room was being renovated, Edgar had even mentioned it while lying in the hospital bed.
He said that no matter what, they had to be prepared. There would be a time when they would have to
come back to stay. During the New Year, the young couple could not be by themselves in the villa. The
family would be more lively if they stayed in the old residence.
He also said that on the day of their wedding, the couple could stay at the new villa. But no matter
what, they had to return to the old residence the next day. Although not many people from the Palmer
family were living there anymore, the ancestors were still watching.
What else did he say… Leo couldn’t remember.
He only knew that what he had been impatient to hear back then had now become a dream in his mind.
If not for Sally, or if he had not sent Madison away, would the situation have developed as Edgar had
said?
After work every day, he would go back to Creek Court and she would have prepared food and be
waiting for him.
During the New Year or other festivals, they would return to the old residence to pay tribute to the
deceased Edgar and have a meal with his mother, just like tonight.
Unlike now, when he turned around and saw that there was no one beside him.
“Leo, are you outside?”
A voice suddenly came from the bathroom, breaking his thoughts.
He turned around and looked behind him. He only saw a little steam coming from the bathroom door,
and her voice became even more obvious.
“Can you do me a favor?”
Leo walked over and stopped not far from the door like a gentleman. He looked at the frosted door that
revealed a small gap.
“What is it?” He asked.
“Can you help me find another set of pajamas in the cloakroom? I accidentally wet my clothes just
now.” Madison’s voice was a little hesitant.
“Wait a minute.”
Leo did not think too much about it and went to the cloakroom to look for her clothes.
If he had thought about it, he could tell that something was wrong with Madison’s words. The bathroom
had separate dry and wet areas. Just how foolish could she be to get her pajamas wet?
At that moment, this extremely stup id woman in the bathroom was angrily looking at the clothes in her
hand.
She was wrapped in a towel and really couldn’t figure out how the Daves family could make her
pajamas like this. They hardly cover anything!
What was even more unexpected was that it was Maya who had found these clothes for
her.
Madison could not figure it out and did not want to think about it.
Even though she was sure that Leo wouldn’t do anything to her if she went out dressed like that, she
still cared about her dignity!
!
Now, she could only hope that Leo could find her something to wear in the cloakroom.
A moment later, the man knocked on the door with his fingers. His deep voice sounded as if he was a
little embarrassed.
“There aren’t any extra pajamas in the cloakroom. They’re just some jackets and winter clothes. I took
one of my shirts. Do you want to… make do with it?”
