Chapter 262 

“Who has the time to laugh at you?” 

Madeleine muttered under her breath, her fingers 

unconsciously fiddling with a chess piece. “I’m just curious, 

what’s really going on between you and Charlotte? 

You two seem…” 

You seem to care so much about each other, yet you’re both so 

awkward about it. 

Madeleine didn’t say that last part out loud. 

Bradley tugged at the corner of his mouth. He didn’t answer, asking instead, “Did she say anything when she left?” 

“Just that the case was urgent, and she went back with Mr. 

Adler.” 

Madeleine watched his expression and added carefully, “She 

seemed fine, it’s just… it seemed like she didn’t want to talk 

about you.” 

Bradley’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He was silent for a moment,

then suddenly gave a self–deprecating laugh. “That’s normal. When has she ever wanted to talk about me?” 

He stood up, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation, 

and no longer in the mood for chess. 

“Huh? 

Not playing anymore?” 

Madeleine looked up at him. 

“It’s no fun.” 

Bradley waved a hand dismissively and walked towards the 

house, his back looking a bit lonely. “I lose, okay? Happy now?” 

Madeleine watched him walk away and pursed her lips. 

This wasn’t about losing a game. It was clearly about losing a 

person. 

As afternoon approached, the rain started again. 

Adrian said that rain could easily bring mountain fog, which 

would make driving unsafe. 

Chapter 262 

The group discussed it and decided to end their short autumn 

trip. 

On the way back, Rebecca wanted to drive her own car, but 

Adrian pulled her into his. 

Madeleine watched them with a knowing smile. 

Thank goodness for Professor Shaw’s pushy and competitive 

nature. Otherwise, who knows how long Rebecca would have 

kept her feelings bottled up before realizing them. 

“Mommy.” 

Kevin tugged on Madeleine’s sleeve, his eyes a little downcast 

as he looked at her. 

Madeleine looked over, confused. “What’s wrong, Kev? Oh, are 

you unhappy because we have to go home? 

Mommy will take you out again next time, okay?” 

“Mmm.” 

The little guy hesitated for a moment, uncharacteristically not 

agreeing to Madeleine’s suggestion right away. 

“What is it?” 

Chapter 262 

“Mommy.” 

Kevin’s little face was a bit red as if he’d been struggling 

internally for a while before finally speaking. 

“Next time, can we not play with so many people?” 

Madeleine opened her mouth, thinking the little guy’s past 

psychological issues were acting up and he didn’t like being 

around people. 

Just as she was about to ask, Kevin said with some 

disappointment, “There are too many people. Mommy always 

has to talk to a lot of people.” 

She didn’t have much time to spend with him. 

Madeleine froze, feeling awkward. 

Yikes… This is bad, this is bad. 

She really had been a bit too obsessed with watching the drama unfold these past two days, completely neglecting to spend quality time with her son. 

With that thought, Madeleine quickly and guiltily stroked the little guy’s head. 

Chapter 262 

“It’s Mommy’s fault, Kev. Next week, how about Mommy 

spends time only with you?” 

“Only with me? What about Daddy?” 

Roderick’s ears perked up. He raised an eyebrow but said 

nothing. 

Exactly, what about him? 

“Let your daddy go play by himself. Hmph, my Maddie is the 

most important.” 

Roderick: … 

Great. He was feeling pretty hurt right now. 

Next week, huh? 

Alright, then the week after next, he’d find an excuse to send 

Kevin to his grandparents‘ place, and then take Madeleine out 

for some alone time. 

For the first time, Roderick felt that having a son was so in the 

way. 

While the family was laughing and talking, Madeleine’s phone 

rang. 

Chapter 262 

“Who’s this? It’s an unknown number.” 

Muttering, Madeleine answered. 

“Hello, who is this?” 

“It’s me.” 

A familiar female voice came from the other end of the line. 

Madeleine didn’t recognize it at first, and after thinking for a 

moment, she asked tentatively, “Are you… Leona?” 

Hearing the name, Roderick, who was beside her, immediately 

turned to look, his expression wary. 

Leona? 

He hadn’t gone to settle scores with her, and now she was 

contacting Madeleine first? 

What was she up to. 

On the other end of the line, Leona held her phone, gazing out 

the window. 

“Are you free? I’d like to talk to you.” 

Chapter 262 

Madeleine’s expression grew a little more serious. 

She turned her head to look at Roderick, and Roderick 

instinctively wanted Madeleine to hang up. 

He didn’t like it when Madeleine’s mood was affected by other, 

irrelevant people. 

But the Madeleine of today wasn’t so fragile. She was silent for 

a moment before speaking. 

“Is there something you need?” 

“Yes, about the past, and the future. There are some things I 

hope to tell you in person.” 

Madeleine nodded. “Okay, you name the time and place.”
