Chapter 41
“Why? Aren’t all seats the same?” Leo didn’t understand.
‘She intentionally sat in the back and treated me as the driver for the Hale family’s event to celebrate
Sally’s birthday. But now, she took the initiative to sit in the front,” thought Leo.
Madison gave him a weird look and said, “Mr. Palmer, don’t you get it?”
Leo furrowed his brows as he said, “What am I supposed to get?”
If Madison wanted Sally to get lost, he could understand that.
After all, what Sally did at the Hale family the other time was too much. It was natural that Madison was
still angry with her and wanted her to leave.
But he couldn’t understand why Madison insisted on sitting in the front passenger seat.
“Mr. Palmer, the passenger seat is reserved for your girlfriend. Since you acknowledge. Miss Madison
as your wife, allowing other women to take that seat is too…” Samuel chimed in.
He paused, looked up, and met eyes with Leo.
“Or perhaps you have excluded Miss Madison and took Miss Sally as your girlfriend. If that’s the case, I
don’t think Miss Madison needs to leave with you.”
With such an explanation, Leo immediately understood..
But when he thought about how Madison insisted on sitting in the back seat the last time, a fit of
inexplicable anger welled up in his chest.
‘Indeed, it was she who wanted a divorce from the very beginning.
‘It now appears that returning to the country for a divorce was part of her plan.
“She’s acting like she’s the one who got divorced!
‘It turns out I’m the one who got dumped, thought Leo.
Leo had a cold expression as he turned to knock on the car window. “Sally, get out of the car.”
Sally was left dumbfounded.
After being taken aback for several seconds, she pouted in frustration and asked, “Leo, did I do
something wrong?”

“No, it’s just that the divorce hasn’t been finalized. In theory, Madison and I are still married, do you
understand?” Leo said calmly.
Sally pursed her lips in the car before getting out.
“I understand, Leo. After all, I came with the company, so it’s only right to leave with them. I initially
thought I could catch a ride with you and have you see me off, but since you’re leaving with Madison,
I’ll leave first.” She spoke very cleverly.
She held the hem of her skirt and walked in the opposite direction. The wind was messing up her hair,
and her frail body was shivering in the wind.
After taking two steps, she turned back and smiled pitifully at Leo.
That appearance seemed to break Madison’s heart.
It was too cruel.
Madison felt like she was the malicious supporting character who was tearing apart an ill-fated couple.
She glanced at Leo and asked, “Mr. Palmer, aren’t you going to go after her?”
Leo lowered his eyes, opened the passenger seat door, and spoke with a voice tinged with the cold
night wind. “Get in.”
Madison finally knew what it was like to shoot herself in the foot.
She did not expect Sally to be so adaptable and would get out of the car like that.
‘No wonder I can’t hold his heart. If I were Leo, my heart would stick to Sally, too. “When a woman
shows weakness, who wouldn’t feel pity for her? she thought.
However, since the words had been said, it would not be justifiable for her not to get in the car.
Madison let go of Samuel’s hand.
Samuel’s face changed slightly. “Madi…”
Before he could finish his word, Madison interrupted him with a slight smile.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. It just so happens that there are some matters I’d like to discuss with him. Let
me go back with him for a while?” She patiently and warmly comforted Samuel.
“No!” Samuel naturally felt uneasy and refused without even thinking.

‘He was pulling all sorts of tricks when Madison was abroad. Just as Madison came back, he had
people tailing her. And now, he’s dragging his feet on the divorce. Who knows what he is up to now?’
thought Samuel.
However, this firm refusal fell on Leo’s ears as a form of provocation, a provocation between men.
Looking at the way Madison and Samuel spoke, his frustration became palpable.
He frowned and said, “Mr. Smith, my wife is going home with me. I don’t think we need your permission
for that, do we? Madison, get in the car!”
Madison ignored what Leo said.
She didn’t forget that she agreed to get in the car, but she didn’t want Samuel to worry and
go back in anger.
“Samuel, I am going to talk to him about the divorce. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine,” she coaxed
Samuel in a low voice as she shook her hand. “See. I wore the ring you gave me. I will contact you
immediately if anything happens, okay?”
Samuel refused to relent.
Madison could only act coquettishly, holding to his arm and shaking it slightly. “I’ll cook when I return
tomorrow and make what you love, alright?”
Samuel’s complexion finally relaxed, and he gave a slight nod.
Madison also smiled. “See you tomorrow!”
Even so, Samuel’s expression did not look good at all.
Compared to them, Leo’s complexion appeared grimmer and had darkened to the
extreme.
‘How could they be so affectionate in front of me? Did they take me as I’m dead or what?’ Leo
wondered.
When he saw her bright smile, he couldn’t help but pull Madison over.
“Get in the car!”
Madison was caught off guard and almost twisted her ankle in her high heels as she stumbled straight
toward the car.
Seeing her head about to knock against the car frame, Leo acted quickly, reaching out to grab her
slender waist while his other hand protected the back of her head.
Ignoring the pain in his hand from banging against the car, he helped Madison to stand steadily on her
feet and scrutinized her. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
Madison shook her head and immediately pushed Leo away. “It’s okay. Thank you for your kindness,
Mr. Palmer,” she said.
She slid into the passenger seat and took off her high heels immediately as they were making her
uncomfortable.
Then she rested against the soft seat without sparing Leo another glance.
Samuel, who was outside the car, was shocked and blamed Leo for it. “Mr. Palmer, you are too rough,”
he said.
‘If it weren’t for him, Madison would not have almost fallen!” he thought.
Leo’s heart burned with anger. When he heard Samuel’s words, he turned back coldly and said, “Mr.
Smith, there’s no need for you to worry. I will take care of my wife. As for you, Mr. Smith, perhaps I
need to remind you or your cousin that you should not covet women who are not yet divorced. Being a
home wrecker is not decent!”
As the words fell, he fiercely slammed the car door.
Startled, Madison opened her eyes and rubbed her ears impatiently.
“Psy cho!’ she cursed silently.
When Leo got into the car, Madison flipped over and curled up in her seat, looking outside the window.
It was clear that she didn’t want to see him.
Leo glanced at her, turned the car, and drove around the pond in front of the venue.
The speed was so fast that it almost threw Madison off.
She tightly grasped the handrail, barely able to keep herself from falling over to the driver’s seat.
But even on the road, there was no sign of him decreasing the car speed. Instead, it was even getting
faster.
“Leo, can you please not drive so fast?” Madison finally couldn’t help but speak up.
Leo ignored her and even overtook another car.
That feeling of being pushed back and the cars speeding close by almost made Madison scream. She
couldn’t help but close her eyes and say, “Leo Palmer, can you please slow
94%
down? I’m scared!”
Perhaps it was her trembling voice that finally made Leo return to his senses. He finally slowed down
the car’s speed.
The car speed gradually stabilized, and his low, chilling voice slowly came through.
“Keep your distance from the Daves family.”
Madison was in shock, but she blurted out, “Can you stay away from Sally in that case?”
