Chapter 134
After posting the message, Madison did not pay any more attention.
Like Joe, she put away all the electronic devices and then continued with her regular routine of cooking
and eating.
During that time, she also made a video call to her parents from the Daves family in Rozalia. As she
held Joe’s arm and walked under the parasol tree in the villa area, she chatted and laughed with them.
The
knew about what happened online, but they tacitly did not mention it.
Everything was normal. They only briefly inquired about their current situation in Sidovor City and also
asked when Madison would return to Rozalia.
“Very soon, Mom. I’ll probably meet with Dr. Benton in a couple of days. Once we discuss everything.
I’ll return to Rozalia,” Madison replied..
Having lived in Sidovor City for a long time, Madison missed them too.
Rosalie missed her even more. Her daughter, who had been lost for many years, was finally listed on
the family tree. However, she couldn’t keep her by her side when she returned to the country. How
could she not miss her?
She complained to Madison aggrievedly, “Jessica, you can’t lie to me anymore. Last time, you said you
would be back soon, but I didn’t see you come back even after your aunt’s fashion banquet ended. Let
me tell you, if I don’t see you next week, I’ll get your eldest brother to take me to Sidovor City,
understand?”
In her fifties, Rosalie had taken good care of herself. She looked even more delicate when she was
angry on the phone screen. No one could tell her age at all. Instead, they wanted to coax her like a little
girl.
Especially with that soft and sweet tone, Madison wished she could fly back to Rozalia
now.
It was no wonder that although her old father spoiled her mother, he still kept a close eye on her, afraid
that she would accidentally get lost.
Madison smiled helplessly. “I know, Mom. I’ll definitely come back next week and let Joe come back
with me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she spoke, she even moved the camera closer to Joe so that Rosalie could see her second son.
Seeing Joe, Rosalie became somewhat displeased and pursed her lips.

“He can come back if he wants!”
Joe clicked his tongue. Before he could say anything, Rosalie replied.
“Jessica, look! He’s already unhappy before I even say anything. Don’t let him come back. It’s annoying
to see this unfilial son!”
“Okay, okay. I won’t shift the camera at him.”
Madison held back her laughter and turned the camera to herself.
Rosalie’s expression changed at the speed of light. Her gaze softened as if she wished she could stick
to Madison through the phone. “Jessica, let’s make a deal. You must come back next week. You can’t
keep being outside all the time, understand?”
Madison nodded and could not hold back her smile. “Got it. I’ll definitely be back next week.
According to her plan, she would probably see Dr. Benton in the next two days.
If the rumors were true about this doctor having a strange temper, it should be easy to get an answer to
this matter, either he tasted her cooking and found it good enough to be willing to treat her mother, or
his bad temper resulted in him driving her away.
In either case, the answer would be revealed in the following week.
If she was unlucky, at most, she would be treated conservatively like before. Her mother’s illness was
caused by her getting lost, and she would always accompany her mother in the future.
In the end, things would g
get better.
After chatting with Rosalie for a while, the video call finally ended. Madison and Joe walked around and
returned to the villa.
With the phone screen off and the divorce settled, she was about to return to her own home to live with
her real family. In her heart, she felt a little emotional.
However, the smile on her face stopped abruptly when she saw the unhappy expression of the man
beside her.
“What happened, Joe?”
Madison restrained her emotions and looked at Joe. “Are you not happy?”
Joe lowered his eyes and looked at her. He reached out and flicked her forehead with his fingertips.
“What are you thinking about? What could I be unhappy about?”

Madison frowned and rubbed her forehead.
She snorted and glared at Joe. “It’s all because you kept silent all the
time. If it weren’t. for the fact that I was afraid you were sad, I wouldn’t have bothered with you. Now,
you’re even hitting me.”
“Who has a fragile heart?”
Joc retorted as soon as he spoke. His gaze then landed on her forehead, looking utterly. speechless.
“Does flicking your head count as hitting you? When did you become so precious, huh? I didn’t use any
strength at all, okay?”
Although he said that, there was still a hint of worry in his eyes.
“Did it really hurt?” He leaned over to take a look.
Madison avoided his actions. “It doesn’t hurt. I’m more worried about your feelings.”
Joe said in disdain, “Jessica, stop spouting such old-fashioned and greasy words. It shouldn’t have let
you go online in the first place!”
He could not be bothered to talk to her anymore. He took long strides and walked away.
Madison followed behind him, and after a moment, she spoke slowly.
“Joe, Mom actually cares a lot about you. She just says things on the surface. Don’t take those words
too much to heart. Next week, whether I manage to handle things with Dr. Benton or not, let’s all go
home together with Antoine, okay?”
Antoine still had scenes to shoot and could not stay in Sidovor City for too long. He would probably
leave in the next couple of days.
He could stay anywhere. This time, he came with his aunt and stayed with Joe. If there was nothing
else, they could go back together next week.
Madison had already made arrangements.
But now, the problem was joe.

things to do.”
He didn’t even look at Madison and went straight to the fridge to get a glass of water.
“But Joe, I can’t bear to leave you.”

Madison coaxed with a soft voice, using both gentle and firm tones.

“Think about it. You’re the one who found me. I’ve been living overseas with you for the past three
years, and now that we’re back, we are still together. Although Mom and Dad are our family, we’ve
never lived together. If you don’t go back, I’ll be so afraid. Okay, I don’t care. If you don’t go back, I’ll
ignore you forever! I won’t give you your birthday gift either!”
Joe raised his head and drank a cup of water. He did not look at Madison and only said. lazily. “As you
wish.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he left.
He was casual yet heartless.
Madison looked at his back and finally understood him.
He was clearly the most carefree person and would agree to anything, but he was extremely stubborn
when it came to going home.
Madison did not live in the Daves family. She did not know what exactly happened, but she knew there
were some conflicts between Joe and their parents. Ever since he entered university, he did not like to
go home. After graduation, he went overseas directly.
In recent years, the contact with the family was mainly because of reconnecting with Madison.
XR Entertainment was originally registered abroad, and it was because of his decision to return to the
country that it expanded its operations.
However, even upon returning to the country, he refused to return to Rozalia, even though the Daves
family’s support in Rozalia could develop his company better.
She watched as Joe’s tall figure disappeared from her sight and sighed softly.
Just as she was feeling worried, a clear and gentle voice came from behind.
“Do you want to know why Joe is so stubborn about going home?”
