Hunter returned home after dealing with the Davis family. He initially thought Madison would wait for him in the living room like before.
No matter how late he returned home, she would always sleep on the couch in the living room.
She always made sure the lights were turned on when he returned.
However, the house was shrouded by darkness when he opened the door. She wasn’t on the couch either.
Hunter was tipsy.
Before this, Madison would welcome him home. She would grumble while looking for hangover pills for him.
She was naggy, but he loved it.
Unlike before, he felt cold although the heater was turned on.
He opened the bedroom door. Thanks to the lightning from the hallway, he could see the bump on the bed.
Madison fell asleep a moment ago.
Hunter pulled her into his embrace. The air that reeked of alcohol woke her up.
“You drank?”
Hearing her groggy voice, he grumbled, “Madison, you’ve changed.”
It didn’t make sense to her. “Are you kidding me? You’re the one who had a change of heart first.”
He wrapped his arms tightly around her. He appeared mild at the moment.
“I didn’t. I never did.” His drowsy voice rang into her ears.
Madison didn’t buy it. After all, his and Andrea’s son was already a year old.
How could he claim that he never had a change of heart?
Nevertheless, she knew his character all too well that she should let him be. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to have a good night’s sleep tonight.
Just like that, she nestled in his arms quietly. She didn’t want to tick him off.
As she had expected, her obedient reaction comforted him.
Hunter hugged her tighter and rested his head on her shoulder. “Madie, I barely found you. Can you not run away again?”
It had been a long time since she last heard his gentle tone.
If this happened two months ago, she would’ve been elated.
Now, it didn’t affect her emotions a single bit.
She was aware that it was empty words said under the influence of alcohol. Once the sun rose, he would return to his original self again.
Love and respect wouldn’t be able to fix their relationship anymore. One of them had to have a downfall before they could find peace.
That night, Hunter hugged her tightly as if he had found his lost treasure at long last.
There were no hurtful words, only gentleness.
He soon drifted into dreamland. Madison, who was used to sleeping alone, couldn’t sleep because of his warmth.
Belle’s death was all she could think of.
After making sure that he was deep asleep, she slid out of his arms.
She put on a cardigan and sneaked to the study.
She reopened the safe, which was unlocked with her birthdate. She didn’t know whether to see him as fickle or loyal.
Madison was confident that she missed something.
Leia’s death must be related to Jeff and Belle in some way.
Madison wasn’t in a hurry. Instead of reading other people’s information, she flipped through Leia’s information.
Leia’s death was taboo to Hunter, so Madison didn’t dare to bring it up before this.
Thus, she didn’t peruse the documents related to Leia.
Aside from Leia’s toys, there was a brown paper bag in the safe.
Madison thought, “If I’m dead, will my whole life be written on a stack of papers? And be consigned to oblivion after ten years?”
Leia’s adoptive parents passed away years ago. What about her friends?
There should be at least a trace of someone’s existence in this world.
Madison snapped pictures of the documents, believing that the truth was hidden within them. While she was on tenterhooks, a cold voice sounded from the door. “Are you done reading?
Madison raised her gaze to meet eyes with Hunter, who was standing by the door.
He hadn’t changed into his pajamas before sleeping, so his shirt was crumpled with some undone buttons.
He leaned against the door frame lazily. His disheveled hair didn’t stop him from looking handsome as always.
Madison was feeling guilty. She wasn’t able to completely cut ties with Hunter.
In addition to his unappeased anger during the day, she thought of the people from the island and was scared.
“I–I couldn’t sleep,” she explained anxiously while he slowly came up to her.
She was sitting on the floor, and the light cast his shadow over her.
Judging from his clear eyes, he appeared to be sober.
His dark eyes carried zero emotions, so she couldn’t read his mood.
Madison hastily placed the documents into the safe while stammering on her words. “I was s–simply looking around.”
He held her wrist tightly.
Her chest tightened, and her instincts prompted her to beg for mercy. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have read your sister’s documents. Don’t be angry…”
He held her hand while staring at her.
He wondered since when the affection and resentment in her gaze had given way to fear.
“It’s getting late.” His voice was hoarse.
Madison looked at him, confused.
Hunter set the documents in her hands aside and carried her. “You can take your time and read them during the day.”
She widened her eyes in surprise, thinking, “Does that mean I can enter his study and read his documents whenever I want?”
“I didn’t change the password because I didn’t want to hide it from you in the first place.” He saw through her.
Hunter placed Madison on the soft bed and hugged her tightly once again.
“You should rest now.” His groggy voice sounded above her.
She stared at the silver button on his shirt that reflected the moonlight.
His heartbeat was pounding into her ears due to the proximity.
Confused, she couldn’t follow him at all.
“If you don’t wanna sleep, I don’t mind continuing our unfinished deeds from the day,” he suddenly said.
She was surprised and hurriedly shut her eyes. She stayed still
She deemed that he wasn’t in his right state of mind.
Hunter stared deeply at the sleeping Madison, who was curled in his arms.
It had been a long time since they last slept in each other’s embrace.
The next morning, his handsome face appeared in her sight the moment she opened her eyes.
It was as though time had returned to three years ago when she could see him whenever she woke up.
A few strands of his fringe rested on his forehead, tickling his furrowed eyebrows. The sleeping man appeared harmless.
There was a thin layer of stubble around his tense jaw.
Madison instinctively reached out to smoothen the crease between his brows.
Her hand halted midair when she recalled that they were divorced. When she was going to withdraw her hand, Hunter opened his eyes.
Their eyes intertwined midair. She could see the tiny dust particles dancing in the air too.
Her hand remained stiff in midair. Whether she withdrew her hand or not, it would be awkward.
While she was thinking of how to resolve the awkward situation, his hand around her waist tightened. He suddenly hovered over her to kiss her lips.
Madison was stunned for a moment. When she finally pulled her senses back, she pushed Hunter away.
The fact that he had touched another woman disgusted her. That was the sole reason behind her instinctive reaction.
However, he held the back of her head and deepened the kiss, rendering her defiant action in vain.
Frowning, she wanted to bite him only to find that he was pinching her cheeks.
Men were inherently stronger than women when it came to strength. Thus, she had no choice but to yield to him.
When Madison thought she was going to suffocate to death, Hunter finally let her go.
She glared at him with reddened eyes like an angry bunny.
His eyes darkened. “What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to touch you?”
Before she could respond, he pinched her cheeks harder as he stared at her icily.
Her brows knitted at his psychopathic acts.
She attempted to pry his fingers off. “Release me! If you’re sexually frustrated, you can go to Andrea. She’s your fiancée.”
“Madison Evans, it seems like you’re taking the liberty of my generosity toward you.” Enraged, Hunter grabbed her hands.
