Filed to story: Mr Williams Madame Is Dying Novel Free Online (Madison & Hunter)
Madison didn’t want to humor any conversations about Hunter. Hence, Mona shut up as she braided
Madison’s hair.
“If you grow your hair a little longer, Ms. Evans, you’ll look even prettier.”
Her hair had grown out quite a lot in the past six months, but it barely reached her shoulders.
With her hair tucked behind her head, she looked gentle and elegant.
Madison didn’t want to doll herself up, so Mona chose a pair of delicate pearl earrings for her.
“You look pretty even without makeup, Ms. Evans. Mr. Williams was lucky to have married you in the past.”
Madison looked at herself in the mirror. The tender look was gone from her face, and her chin was a little sharper now.
There was no more liveliness in her features, and a slight sorrowful look could be seen on her face.
In the past, she was half a girl and half a woman. But now, she had turned into a whole woman.
She was just a woman who had a failed marriage.
Crouching next to Madison, Mona smiled as she looked at Madison.
“I’m supposed to be a little older than you, so why do you always look so grave? You’re so pretty; you’d look even prettier if you smile.”
The word “smile” echoed in Madison’s mind.
She realized that she hadn’t smiled sincerely in a long time. She even seemed to have forgotten the simple movement of curving her lips.
Her reflection in the mirror looked so familiar. But she also felt like she couldn’t recognize herself.
Mona was a kind-hearted woman. Even though she didn’t come from a rich family, she was always positive and hardworking.
Madison saw shadows of her past self in Mona. She was like the sun, and she lived every day cheerfully. It was as if she would never be defeated by anything.
“Just curve your lips a little, like me. When you’re in a good mood, your baby will be happy too.”
It might be due to Mona’s warm smile or the mention of the child, which had struck the softest chord in Madison’s heart.
Madison placed her palm on her tummy, the corners of her mouth subconsciously turning up.
At that moment, sunlight shone on her face.
Madison, who was filled with a mother’s love, was indescribably beautiful.
“I told you you look great when you smile. Ms. Evans, you’re the most exquisite person I’ve ever met. If you join the entertainment industry, you’ll be super successful.”
Madison shook her head in exasperation. In the past, her dream was to be a doctor.
If her future…
She couldn’t see any future for herself.
Her only hope was to give birth to this child without any problems. She didn’t dare hope for too much.
If she was too greedy, even the things she owned right now would be taken away.
Madison was afraid to lose anything, so she had become timid. She didn’t even dare to think about it.
Madison got up to leave.
If it weren’t for her palm, which fell unnaturally to her side, she would be flawlessly beautiful.
Mona followed Madison to the car. With a face full of smiles, she said, “Enjoy the trip. Don’t worry too much.”
Getting out of the car, Hunter opened the door of the passenger seat for Madison.
He helped her into the car and even thoughtfully put on her seatbelt for her.
Back when they were on good terms with each other, she always looked forward to when Hunter set. aside a day for her.
She would prepare for a camping trip beforehand. Then, over the weekend, they would camp somewhere in the suburbs.
When Hunter was with her, he was very kind and good-tempered. He would unconditionally fulfill every request she had.
They would set up camp by a creek. Then, he would do the fishing, whereas she was in charge of the barbecue.
At night, when the stars came out, she would lean in his arms, counting the stars with him.
She never asked for any material things. As long as he took some time to be with her, she would be elated.
Back then, Madison was always smiling. Her eyes curved when she smiled, and she looked cheerful and adorable, like a little fox.
He was a composed man, and he was also a few years older than her. Because he had lost his younger sister at a young age, among other reasons, he turned into a man who rarely smiled.
It was only when he was around Madison that he could smile without worry.
But the good times were never coming back. Now, as the two sat in the same car, Madison only kept her gaze straight ahead.
Gripping the seatbelt with her hand, she refused to even spare a glance at Hunter.
The atmosphere in the car was so quiet that it was scary.
Hunter coughed lightly, breaking the silence. “I bought some desserts when I was on my way back. If you’re hungry, you can have some.”
Madison glanced at the exquisite cakes placed by her side. He had even prepared the fruit tea she liked.
“I’m not hungry,” she said in a cold voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard her stomach rumbling.
Madison fell silent.
In reality, she had just thrown up before setting out. Now, her stomach was empty, so of course, it was growling.
Hunter chuckled. “You’ve never changed. Stop being stubborn, and feel free to eat more.”
Madison’s already cold expression turned even colder. She spoke to Hunter with indifference.
“Hunter, did you think that our relationship could be like before again?
“When you made me angry back then, I threw a tantrum so you could appease me with only a few words. Is that what you think it is?”
In the few days after she came back, they had never breached this topic. But now, Madison got to it straight away.
“Things were over between us a long time ago. You can trap me for now, but you can’t bind me forever.
“We’ll never be together again.”
Madison’s voice was firm and decisive.
It was obvious that she no longer had any love for him; she only harbored hatred.
“I know.”
If Madison had spoken those words in the past, Hunter would be furious.
But now, there wasn’t even a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. He only felt remorse.
“As long as I’m alive, I’ll be thinking of ways to exact revenge.
“Hunter, stop wasting your time and effort. You’re one of my enemies as well.”
“Madie, I only want to treat you well.”
While they were waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, he held the fruit tea to her mouth.
“It’s sweet and sour. The taste is quite nice.”
Unable to withstand the temptation, Madison took a sip. After getting pregnant, she was fond of sweet and sour foods.
Oranges and passion fruits were her favorites. If paired with limes and grapefruits, the refreshing taste would be heavenly.
She couldn’t get enough of it with just a sip. Holding the cup, she continued drinking.
The sweet and sour taste eased the nausea in her stomach, and she felt much better.
The sad look on Hunter’s face gradually disappeared as well. He brought Madison to a restaurant they used to frequent.
“Aren’t we going to the concert?”
“It’s still early. Aren’t you hungry?” Lowering his gaze, he looked gently at her.
“No,” Madison said stubbornly.
Hunter wasn’t mad about it. He put on a faint smile. “Then keep me company while I eat.”
With that, he extended his hand. He wanted to take her hand like he used to.
But he only felt Madison’s limp hand on his palm. He froze.
For a moment, he forgot that Madison’s hand had turned out like this because of him.
A look of guilt appeared in his eyes.
Madison put on a mocking smile. “See that? Do you still think we can go back to who we were?”
Hunter left with her hand in his.
He didn’t say another word on their way there. But when they entered the elevator, he would step in front of Madison so no one else could see her.
They went to Madison’s favorite spot in the past.
From the high altitude, they could see most of the city and even the coastline in the distance.
The lit windows in the city looked like stars that had descended upon the earth.
They looked wonderful.
But Madison wasn’t in the mood to admire the view. Lowering her head, she ate some light food.
She was guarding against the nauseousness, but her stomach had decided to be nice to her this time.
She didn’t feel nauseous at all.
Madison finally noticed that most of the food tonight had a tangy flavor.
There was not an oily dish in sight.
Even for the main course, Hunter had chosen pasta instead of steak.
The waiter served the wine they loved in the past. Hunter spoke up. “Some lime juice for her, please.”
Madison stared at him with suspicion.
Hunter explained calmly. “I heard that you have had digestion problems recently. So, you can’t consume anything spicy or stimulating.”
“That’s right.” As Madison ate the fruit pizza, she couldn’t help but wonder if he knew about her pregnancy.
If he did, then it wouldn’t make sense for him to stay quiet about it.
Madison felt that the man in front of her was hiding even more than before.
She couldn’t fathom his thoughts at all.
