My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 205

"I didn't mean to shake you off just now. I lost control because I was angry. Sorry." Joe's tone was solemn as he looked at Madison with his dark eyes.

After a long time, Joe pulled back his sleeve. "There's no need to send me off anymore. I'll send a message to Antoine and ask him to pick you up at the entrance so you won't take the wrong path when you return. I'll pick you up tomorrow if you want to go out and play. I'm leaving first."

As he was about to leave, Madison caught up to him again and grabbed his sleeve tightly. "I want to be with you."

Joe paused. Although he did not speak, he looked confused.

Madison refused to let go and declared, "I have something for you."

Joe pursed his lips but did not shake her off. "Follow me if you want."

He turned around. Under the dim street lamp, she could see a faint smile on his lips. Unfortunately, it disappeared in a flash, and Joe returned to his usual nonchalance.

"Joe, where do you plan to stay? Are you still staying at Jason's?" Madison did not know if Joe had a house in Rozalia. They had been living in Jason's villa all along, and Jason had not returned.

Joe drove the car and casually answered, "Let's go over there first. Everything is there. It's not convenient to go anywhere else."

Joe had properties in Rozalia. Each child in the Daves family had villas and apartments since birth.

However, Joe was rebellious when he was young and did not want to stay in Rozalia. He also did not want to see his irresponsible parents, so he did not even want to live in the house they had given him. Of course, that was what Joe had thought when he was young. He definitely wouldn't reject staying there now. However, it had been a long time since he hired someone to clean that house. It wasn't equipped with daily necessities. Why should he live in such a place? He might as well go back to Jason's place.

"By the way, didn't you say you have something for me? Give it to me." Suddenly remembering, Joe glanced at Madison beside him, who was immersed in her phone and held out a hand to her.

"Focus on the road first. I'll give it to you later." Madison slapped him angrily. Her gaze was still on her phone.

She was sending a message to John and the others to inform them of the current situation.

After all, she had already left with Joe. She could not let the family wait for them at the family residence.

Therefore, she had to make it clear so that Eric and Eva could go back. If they were staying at the family residence tonight, they could rest early.

Joe thought she was reading entertainment gossip and spoke earnestly, "Jessica, you have to spend less time on your phone. It's not good for your eyes. If you look at it any longer, you might go blind!" His lecturing and naggy tone forced Madison to turn off her phone.

Madison had explained everything to John and the others. She was about to reply to the messages sent to her by the others, but she had no choice but to ignore them for now. "I didn't do it for long. I just told John that we're leaving first. Here, I'm not using it anymore."

As she spoke, Madison threw her phone into the secret compartment in the passenger seat and raised her hands to show her innocence.

Joe snorted coldly. "You'd better do this every day. If you wear spectacles one day, you'll be ugly."

Madison was used to being scolded by him. She propped her chin on her hand and looked at the scenery outside the window.

Rozalia was as prosperous as Sidovor City, but it was slightly different. As far as the eye could see, it incorporated many elements of cities built along rivers. The lights along the way reflected the elegance of the city, and the evening breeze was gentle.

This was where she would live in the future. Madison admired the view until the familiar villa appeared in her field of vision.

She did not forget Joe's present. When she took her phone, she rummaged around a few times before taking out a small box in a minimalist style. "Here. This is for you."

Joe had just parked his car and was about to get out when he saw it.

It was a pure black frosted box without any brand logo on it. It was impossible to tell what was inside.

He sized up Madison and silently took the item. "What is it?"

Joe opened the box. In it was a silver ring with diamonds that refracted the light in the car. The design of the coiled snake wrapped around the ring, and the snake's head and eyes were decorated with two rubies. It wasn't very big, but the design suited him.

Next to the ring was a small silver chain. It could be used as a necklace.

Joe picked up the small ring and put it on his index finger. The size was just right. He raised his eyebrows. "For me?"

Madison nodded. "Yes, I started designing it at Sidovor City. I originally planned to give it to you on your birthday in two days, but you were unhappy today. You even said I didn't prepare a gift for you, so I'm giving you your birthday gift in advance as an apology."

Since Joe liked snakes, she made a ring in the shape of a coiled snake.

Madison had been afraid that the ruby and silver ring would look messy together. She did not expect it to come out looking quite good.

Joe also began to look at it carefully under the light, but still, he complained, "You gave me my birthday present in advance, instead of giving me another present like the others. Tsk..." Joe still sounded jealous. Madison almost rolled her eyes at him. "That's enough, Joe. I only bought gifts for John and Jason. I don't think it's necessary since we stay together every day. If you continue like this, I won't be bothered to design it myself in the future. I'll buy you something from the supermarket."

She reached out to steal the ring back.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Joe reacted quickly as well. He tilted his head and dodged. "You still want to take back what you gave away? You're even complaining about me. How rude."

"I learned it from you!" Madison wrinkled her nose at him.

However, Joe's expression darkened slightly. It was probably because Madison's words reminded him of the conversation he had with Sergio at the family residence.

Madison also sensed the tension and looked at him carefully. "Joe..."

"What are you looking at? Are you planning to stay in the car for the night? Hurry up and get out. Go wash up and sleep."

Joe locked the car and gave Madison an order as if nothing had happened.

However, although Joe pretended to be calm, he was a little different from usual. After getting out of the car, he did not speak again. He only led the way to the villa. He walked so quickly that Madison could only jog to catch up. She told him, "Joe, if you're unhappy, just say it. Don't keep it to yourself."

Fortunately, Madison was wearing a pair of flats today. Otherwise, it would be painful for her to chase after Joe in a pair of heels.

She carefully followed Joe and deliberated over her words.

Seeing that Joe had no intention of paying attention to her, Madison decided to throw up her arms. "If you're really sad, you can cry. It won't be embarrassing. It's okay for a man to cry."

As expected, Joe stopped in his tracks and glanced coldly at Madison. "Jessica, are you itching for a beating again?"
