He was utterly speechless. Since when did she become so timid around him?
“Weren’t you all fired up this morning?” He raised his gaze to look at her.
She pursed her lips. “Sorry. I lost control of my emotions.”
“Have you eaten?”
She lowered her gaze. “I haven’t. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to come in time before the food got cold.”
In actuality, she had eaten her fill at home.
He pulled Madison onto his lap. “Let’s eat together.”
She pretended to be flustered. “But-”
Hunter fed her a spoonful of meat.
“It’s too big of a bite,” she grumbled and pouted.
He then gave her a smaller bite of chicken. “Here.”
“Okay.” She ate it obediently, hoping that she wouldn’t burp.
As soon as she wished for that, a burp surged to her throat and escaped her lips.
Madison’s burp was loud in the silent room before stillness inflated in the air.
She didn’t expect herself to give the game away that quickly.
Feeling awkward, she looked at Hunter. “I can explain.”
She blurted that in the heat of the moment, making matters worse.
She observed his expression carefully only to realize that his face was free from annoyance.
Worry sat upon his brows instead.
She thought, “Did I misread his expression? He resents me to his bones. Why would he be worried about me?”
“Have more if you’re hungry.” He gave her a spoonful.
She was confused as she thought, “Does he think that I burp because I’m hungry?”
In the end, Madison was stuffed when the meal was actually made for Hunter.
“Enough. I’m full.” She could feel her stomach bursting.
He frowned. “You’re all skin and bones. How could you eat only this little?”
Then, he fed her another spoonful of lasagna. Her cheeks were puffed like a chipmunk.
At this moment, a woman in spectacles opened the door. “Mr. Williams, we need a signature from you for this doc-”
Never in her life has she imagined herself to witness such a scene.
The solemn Hunter, who abhorred contact with women, was hugging and feeding Madison.
His humility put the secretary in a trance.
Madison swallowed the food in a hurry and choked on it. Her face turned red instantly. “Water …”
Hunter gave her a glass of water. “How could a grown–up choke on food?”
She hugged his neck and nuzzled his cheek. “I was surprised. That’s all.”
Her gentle voice sent slight shudders across his body. It made his heart flutter.
Madison’s breathing was brushing his ears.
He turned his head away to look at the shocked secretary. “Who told you to come in? Leave!”
“I–I’m sorry, Mr. Williams.” She quickly closed the door.
Although she was hugging Hunter’s neck, she had been watching that secretary from the corner of her eyes.
Everyone around him was on Madison’s suspect list.
The opponent’s objective was to drive Madison and Hunter apart. Thus, the opponent wouldn’t like it when they were intimate.
Too bad there weren’t many emotions shown on the secretary’s face.
As soon as the door was closed, she released him. “That secretary is bold. She entered the office without your permission.”
Jealousy seeped into her tone, and he was in a good mood because of that.
“She was in a hurry to get her job done, so she didn’t think much about it.”
“I’m full. You can dig in.” She hopped off Hunter’s lap as if she had achieved her objective.
Madison stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window, which made her appear petite.
Mixed feelings churned in his stomach as lie watched her back.
She was gazing at the illuminated city, where she didn’t feel a sense of belonging.
He placed the cutleries down without her knowing and came up behind him. “Something on your mind?”
“About you and Andrea’s engagement ceremony. I heard that she’s chosen Cherry Blossom Haven as the venue. It’ll be gorgeous when the cherry blossoms bloom,” she described it with tranquility.
Slowly, she turned around and looked at him. “Speaking about it, you still owe me a wedding.”
When Madison said that, she forced herself to recall the sad memories so that she could look at Hunter with teary eyes.
She knew that being ferocious against him wouldn’t do.
After all, they were once husband and wife.
She knew his character more than anyone else did. Softening his heart was the best option.
Her voice was calm, free from complaints and doubts. Tears were pooling in her eyes, too.
Although tears can disgust someone, they could be a weapon when it was used at the right time.
Now, Hunter’s throat parched due to guilt.
“I know.” He lowered his head in self–reproach.
He held her shoulders and licked his lip before saying, “I know that many things have happened between us.
“We cannot turn back time either. Let’s put an end to Leia’s matter. Stay by my side. I’ll take good care of you.”
That was the most significant concession he could make.
Frigid numbness shackled her heart.
He was the person who hurt her deeply in the past. How could she forget about it only because he promised to look after her?
In order not to ruin her plan, Madison expressed sorrow and rested her head against his chest.
Facing her advance, Hunter had never been this nervous before.
After all, this was the same woman who yelled while pointing at him fiercely in the morning.
Yet, she turned gentle at night.
Their interactions were mostly on the edge for the past two years. Such a calm moment was rare between them.
His body went tense as he quietly waited for her to say something.
“Hunter,” she called.
Madison’s soft voice was like a cat’s meow, prompting him to hum in response.
She continued, “We need to talk”
“I’m all ears,” he said.
She hugged Hunter’s waist and recounted the whole story on the island in a gentle voice.
“At first, I was trying to rescue Connor. But I fell in love with that place later on. No one hurt me. Everyone on the island was kind to me. I genuinely want to help them.”
She raised her head to observe his response.
When she was certain that he wasn’t acting repulsive to that topic, she added, “Tom is cheerful, and Jerry is talented in arts.
“Martha owned only one thermal underwear, but she made it into a diaper for Connor.”
“What do you want me to do?” He was surprisingly receptive.
Her expression sparked joy as she told him her plan.
“Got it,” he responded.
Madison gazed at Hunter in anticipation. “You-”
“I can develop the island, but on one condition.”
Her eyes were twinkling in happiness. “Say it.”
The squeaky–clean window reflected how he bent over to whisper into her ear. “I want you to stay by my side forever. You cannot leave me.”
Her body shuddered slightly.
Previously, he was the person who wanted the divorce. Now, he was the person who wanted her to stay.
She couldn’t seem to understand him anymore.
Considering the few months she had left, she nodded without hesitation. “Okay.”
Her lifetime came with a limitation. There were a few months remaining.
Her quick response made Hunter anxious instead.
He had more questions in mind, but it would upset both of them since it was related to their fight this morning.
He tightened his arms around Madison’s waist. “If you leave me, I will burn that island. You know that I do as I say, don’t you?”
His body was warm, unlike his icy tone.
Calmly, she tugged his shirt. “Hunter, I have a favor to ask you.”
Next episodes please! Thanks in advance.
Next episode please . Thank you
Countdown for next chapters!!!!
I love this novel, it makes me sad and emotional. I want to hate Hunter for his bullying and manipulation but he is so emotionally stunted. He users his power as a wall to control people.
There are still so many mysteries and so many unanswered question. Can not wait for next episodes
Thank you
