She would bombard him with calls if he didn’t get home by 6:00 pm.
Her calls would annoy him so much that he would turn off his phone.
Then, she would reheat the food a few times. She would also pace around the house nervously.
She found that version of herself quite detestable.
It wasn’t just Hunter. Even she herself felt disgusted when thinking about it.
She was still Mrs. Williams back then.
Now, she had already come to terms with her position. Naturally, she would not stand in Hunter’s way anymore.
In the past, she felt like even the air was holding her captive. She often felt like she was suffocating.
But now that she didn’t care for him as much, she felt like she had regained freedom.
Hunter was the one who was uncomfortable now. There was a time when she was so tense that she wouldn’t allow him to socialize normally with others.
Whenever she heard that he was going out to eat, she would grab his hand with an anxious expression and beg him to keep her company.
But now, she looked like she didn’t care at all. Her face was completely calm.
He tightened his grip on her wrist unknowingly. The pain caused Madison to frown.
“It hurts! What are you doing? I’m not stopping you,” Madison said in an annoyed tone. Hunter said in a deep voice, “Are you not going to care even if I sleep elsewhere?”
Madison asked without hesitation, “Are you not coming back tonight?”
Hunter could sense a hint of joy in her serious expression.
He was taken aback. Did she feel happy that he threatened not to come home?
Madison did feel a little happy about that. In the few nights that she had slept with him, there were a few times he almost lost control.
No matter what he felt toward her, all she wanted was to stay as far away from him as possible.
Hunter grabbed her chin and rubbed her lips with his thumb. “You don’t want me to come home?”
Madison thought about how annoying she used to be.
She said with a serious expression, “You’re Andrea’s fiancé now, and your engagement party is approaching.
“You must not fight with her because of me. And if rumors spread about us, it would also impact the Williams Group’s stock price.
Madison tapped his hand and assured him, “Don’t worry. I will not pester you like I used to. I promise to let you experience a peaceful night.”
Madison thought that Hunter shouldn’t mess with her anymore since she made such a sincere promise. He might even feel like she was being very mature.
She thought her words would make Hunter happy. But his expression grew angrier. His grip on her chin also tightened.
Was she not sincere enough? Madison furrowed her eyebrows in thought.
Hunter couldn’t see any signs of reluctance or sadness in her eyes. He withdrew his hand and said, “As you wish! I’ll be staying over at the Daviss‘ tonight.”
“Alright. I’ll go back in for dinner now.”
Madison opened the door and got out of the car as soon as he loosened his grip. Hunter was not able to detect any hint of sadness on her face before she left.
Hunter watched her leave and thought she didn’t feel the slightest bit of sadness with how eagerly she left.
Did she really get over him completely? Their divorce was less than three months ago.
Kelvin saw Hunter’s cold expression through the rearview mirror. He asked carefully, “Mr. Williams, should we depart now?”
Hunter took a deep breath and asked, “What did she do today? Who did she meet?”
“Nothing much. She went to the art exhibit for a while. Then, she went shopping.
“She also went to some amusement facilities for young people for the whole afternoon. She didn’t meet anyone.”
Hunter frowned and said, “Watch her closely.”
Hunter would’ve thought that she fell for someone else. But he had confirmed that nothing happened between her and the man on the island.
He didn’t really understand himself. His feelings overcame his hatred for her.
But as time went on, he felt like it became harder for him to leave Madison.
Madison was the complete opposite. She no longer had any feelings of attachment to him. There was no longer a twinkle in her eyes when she looked at him.
He lowered his head to look at his phone.
When they were still close, she never stopped calling or messaging him.
Back then, he would take some time to reply, no matter how busy he was.
Even when their relationship deteriorated, and he treated her coldly on purpose, she would still send him a dozen messages every day.
Unlike now, she didn’t call or send him any messages throughout the entire day.
Hunter realized he was no longer the most important person to her. He felt like someone was grabbing his heart tightly.
How would he have known that Madison started to walk on eggshells around him?
She was afraid that anything she did would anger him. She only hoped to stay as far away from him as possible so that she wouldn’t incur his wrath.
She knew her place now. She knew she no longer had the right to order him around.
Her heart had been tormented by Hunter and Andrea over the two years. No matter how much conviction she had, it was all gone.
Madison went straight to her bedroom. She didn’t even eat dinner.
She could see Belle’s body when she closed her eyes and could only hope that Jack could uncover the truth as soon as possible.
She went to sleep after showering. She had no idea Hunter was checking his phone every now and again.
He thought that Madison couldn’t possibly feel nothing after he said he would be staying with the Daviss tonight.
After a few rounds of alcohol on the dinner table, Chris slammed his glass hard on the table.
He was a soldier who survived the battlefields. He had an intimidating presence and was exuding coldness.
Chris, who was usually reserved, said coldly, “If you don’t want to have dinner with us, just get out.”
Chloe quickly held his hand. She tried to de–escalate the situation with a smile, “Are you listening to yourself? Hunter has finally come to visit.
“Why are you giving him this attitude? Do you think you’re talking to one of your fresh recruits in the army?”
She then looked at Hunter with a smile. “Hunter, please don’t blame him for that. He is used to being in the army.
“He still thinks of himself as a soldier even though he’s been out of the army for so long.”
Andrea also chipped in, “Dad, please understand that Hunter is usually very busy. He might have work that he has to deal with.”
In the past, Chris was happy about Hunter. But he started to feel uncomfortable when he found out that Madison was Hunter’s ex-
wife.
They were in the same circle. Chris knew exactly how many people Hunter broke regulations and mobilized to save Madison and
Connor.
The men in the Davis family all had fiery tempers. Chris said, “It’s been more than a year since Andrea gave birth to your child.
“But you had to insist on an engagement party before the marriage. Not only has the engagement been delayed repeatedly, you haven’t even registered the marriage.
“You need to let me know today. Are you marrying my daughter or not?”
“Dad, you don’t have to be so aggressive. We’re all family here. We can talk about it slowly,” Andrea said.
“That’s right. Calm down. You’re scaring him.” Chloe added.
Chloe and Andrea were on the same front on this matter.
Otto Davis, who had not spoken a word, suddenly slammed his spoon on the table.
“Enough! All of you shut up!”
As soon as he spoke up, Chloe shivered slightly. She didn’t even dare to look him in the eye.
“I don’t mind that you’ve been married once. Every man had several women when they were young. But you’ve already divorced.
“You should break up with the past cleanly. Why are you still keeping in contact with her?”
Otta was old. But his voice was resounding. “Tell me, what do you think my granddaughter is?”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Hunter. He put away his phone calmly after stealing one last glance at the screen.
There were still no messages from Madison.
Hunter sat up straight. He did not falter when faced with the two leaders of the Davis family, nor did he lose any ground to them, even if he was younger than them.
“Mr. Davis and Mr. Davis Senior, I promised that I would marry Andrea. So, I will do it. And as for Madison, you should already know her circumstances.”
Hunter’s voice was emotionless. The Daviss couldn’t tell if he was hiding his feelings.
