Chapter 73
When Madison received Cullen’s message, she was finishing up her design draft.
Joe’s birthday was coming up. She planned to make a ring for him as a birthday present.
When she saw the message column on her phone, the tip of the lead ink pen tilted for a moment,
leaving a mark on the white paper. It also completely destroyed the entire manuscript and could not be
used again..
She picked up her phone and stared blankly at it for a while.
‘Is he finally going to go through the procedures?’ she thought.
She didn’t seem to believe him and sent a message to ask. Naturally, she received an affirmative
answer. She also knew that Leo told others not to mention her name in front of him and not tell him
anything about her.
Madison sent, [I see. Thank you.]
Madison looked at that message expressionlessly for a long time. She thanked Cullen and then turned
off her phone.
It was good that she had completely cut ties with him.
Anyway, he didn’t like her anymore.
After the divorce certificate was sent over, Madison could settle the matters with Benton and return to
Rozalia
to live with her parents.
After that, Leo would be no longer in her life.
She would fall in love with someone better. She would live a better life. She would no longer be tortured
by a crush. She would no longer be sad and angry because of Leo. She had
a family and her own career. She would get better and better.
However, she still felt a little uncomfortable, and she could not bring herself to finish the design that
was just a few strokes away.
Was she sad? But she clearly didn’t like him anymore.

Madison couldn’t figure it out. put down her pencil and stared blankly at the table.
When she returned to the country, she was already prepared to divorce him.
It was probably because she had been delayed by Leo for too long. Now that he was finally going to go
through the procedures, she found it unbelievable.
“Yes, I’m just not used to it, Madison told herself.
She picked up the pencil again and tried to add the last few strokes of the design draft.
However, there were too many messy thoughts in her mind that she could not get rid
of.
and
Too many memories were in her mind. She had followed Leo when she was young was as clingy as a
puppy. She had been abandoned by the Hale family people. After living with a serv ant, she felt so
inferior that she did not dare to see him and only dared to secretly send him cupcakes. There was also
her lonely self for the first year of her three years abroad.
She didn’t want to think of this, but she couldn’t control herself.
What made her even more frustrated was that every now and then, she thought of what she had done
with Leo after returning to the country.
Leo had defended her at Sally’s birthday banquet. He had misunderstood her relationship with Joe and
punched Joe. Also, at the fashion banquet, that ridiculous kiss…
Thinking of what happened that night, Madison became a little angry. the pencil.

She turned her phone back on and sent a message to Cullen, it read, [Are you busy? Do you want a
drink?]
When Cullen received the news, his eyes were wide open!
He sat up from the sofa and stared at the phone for a long time.
‘Good lord, am I seeing things? Jessica actually asked me out for a drink!’ Cullen thought to himself.
Before he could reply, Madison had already sent him the address.
Madison sent, [See you at the Opal Heights Bar in half an hour.]
Cullen replied, [Okay, okay! I’ll be right there!]
As a bootlicker, how could he reject her appointment? Even if something happened, he had to push it
over, let alone be so free at this moment.
After typing this line, Cullen threw away his phone and entered Leo’s lounge, “Leo, may I use your
bathroom to take a shower? Oh right, can your perfume work? I’ll just spray it a little!”

“What’s wrong with you now?” Leo asked.

Leo was already vexed. When he thought of that heartless Madison, he sat at his desk the entire Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
morning without reading a single document. Now that he saw Cullen jump
he felt even more angry.
up,
Cullen didn’t know if it was on purpose or if he was too excited, but he retorted without thinking.
“What do you think is wrong with me? Jessica asked me out for a drink. She just became single again.
If she asked me out, I would have to dress up no matter what.”
“What did you say?” Leo’s voice immediately turned cold.
Cullen wasn’t afraid of Leo and didn’t take his words to heart at all. Cullen said seriously, “I said,
Jessica asked me out for a drink to celebrate her return to being single. I will go to see her.”
“She hasn’t divorced me yet.” Leo was refuting the word “single”.
Cullen tsked. “You’ve already gone through the divorce procedures. Aren’t the two of you single again
today? Do you want to go together? Go have a breakup drink with your ex-wife? If you can’t be a
couple, you can be friends in the future.”
Cullen said restlessly and did not forget to look at the time. Thinking that he might not be able to take a
shower with the limited time, he put on some perfume and went ahead. He did not see how ugly Leo’s
expression was at all.
When Cullen came out of the lounge, the man at the desk had regained his composure and was
flipping through the documents on the table with a dark expression.
Cullen casually asked, “Are you really not going?”
Leo didn’t even look up. “No.”
Leo looked like he wanted to cut off all ties with Madison.
“Then I’m leaving. If you need anything, call me!” Cullen said.
Cullen didn’t mind. All he cared about was Madison. He grabbed his phone and quickly
left as if he wouldn’t be able to see her if he was late.
As soon as the office door closed, the man inside looked up, his eyes cold.
‘Celebrate being single again?
‘Good!
‘Good job!’ Leo thought angrily.
After sitting quietly in front of his desk for a moment, he raised his hand and made a call.
When Cullen arrived at Opal Heights Bar, Madison was already there.
She sat sideways in front of the bar and was easy to find.
There was a lot of wine in front of her. It was colorful. The bartender opposite her was still shaking his
glass. Soon, a new glass was placed in front of her.
She didn’t drink it. She just sniffed it and brought it to her mouth. She wanted to drink it, but she was
very conflicted.
“You’ve never drunk it before?” Cullen asked.
Cullen didn’t pretend to be polite. He sat beside Madison and picked up a glass of light blue wine. “Can
I drink it?”
Madison nodded. “I asked the bartender to make all the wines with beautiful colors. That’s the ninth
one.”
Cullen raised his head and took a sip. He turned his head and looked at Madison seriously. There was
a hint of roguishness in his eyes. “Are you going to drink all of it, or are you going to let me drink all of
it?”
“Can
you drink them all?” Madison asked.
She had talked with the bartender before she ordered the drinks. According to her color preferences,
there were about twenty-two glasses.
Even if it wasn’t wine, twenty-two cups of water wouldn’t be easily drunk.
Her confused expression made Cullen laugh. “I can drink it, but I might get fully drunk after it. Jessica,
do you know how strong the aftereffects of the alcohol you picked are?” ‘She just chose the good-
looking ones. She was really something, Cullen thought.
It was the second time that Madison had gone to the bar. She shook her head honestly. “I’ve never
drunk it before.”
The last time she came with Joe, he ordered milk for her and didn’t even let her touch the wine.
This time, she had come here on a whim. When Cullen sat beside her, it was still alright. But when she
was alone just now, she felt very uncomfortable.

“How dare you call me out if you haven’t drunk it? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll do something to you?”
Cullen was speechless and laughed.

The last time she had thrown him off, he had thought that this girl was very powerful.
“You won’t,” Madison shook her head and said firmly.
Cullen supported his chin with his hand and suddenly leaned closer to her. “You trust me so much?”
