The woman pulled Vince away in a hurry.
Madison was confused as she wondered who the man was.
Hunter tapped her shoulder and said, “Why are you spacing out?”
“I just met a man. He seemed to know me. A woman called him Dr. Collins. He said I had recovered from an illness. Was I sick before?”
Hunter recalled the winter of last year. Madison was away from home for one whole week.
He heard that she caught a cold and was hospitalized. Hunter figured that Vince was probably talking about that.
“Yeah, he was a senior in your school. He used to care for Dad when he was hospitalized. Then, he went to study abroad.”
Madison was puzzled. “He said I was sick.”
“It was a cold. There was a period when you were in bad health and were hospitalized.”
“So that’s what it was.”
Madison felt like something was wrong. Vince’s tone seemed to imply that she had a severe illness. She saw that Hunter’s expression was calm.
Madison shook her head and thought that she must be overthinking.
“Let’s go. We shouldn’t keep your mother waiting for too long.”
Hunter tapped her on the nose and said, “She’s your mother, too.”
“We don’t know if she even acknowledges me as her daughter-in-law yet.”
“Of course, she’d acknowledge you. You’re so awesome.”
Hunter wrapped his hand around Madison, and they left the airport. Vince looked back uneasily and saw that.
He was puzzled. He thought the relationship between Madison and Hunter was already irreparable. But they looked like they were lovers in heat.
It was not long ago that Hunter was all over the news. Vince thought he misunderstood something. Hunter had been secretly married for years. Then, he suddenly held a public ceremony. It was weird, no matter how he looked at it.
The thing he was most worried about was Madison’s condition. The report showed that Madison’s cancer was already in stage three. If it develops to stage four, Madison would only have around six more months to live.
Madison had been alive for a year, so the cancer cells had probably stopped spreading. Her complexion looked pretty good, too. Her condition was perhaps under control.
But cancer is tricky. It could always come back within five years.
If she could survive five years, her chances of recovery would increase significantly.
If the cancer relapsed and spread within five years, no one would be able to save her.
“She’s long gone, and you’re still staring. Was she a woman you secretly admired for years?”
Vince withdrew his gaze and smiled lovingly at the woman beside her. “Are you jealous? It’s all in the past now. You’re the only one I love now. Let’s go.”
The Williams Residence was located in the suburban area of Grovale. It was a lovely place with mountains and rivers around.
Lush vegetation covered every corner along the way to the residence.
The city’s lights were unique. Some resembled star-shaped light strings cascading from tall plants. There were also lights shaped like mushrooms, pumpkins, various small animals, and fairy lanterns.
It was like Hunter and his company had wandered into a fantasy world rather than a typical city. By the time they arrived at the Williams Residence, it was already 8:00 pm.
The Williams Residence was enormous. A garden surrounded it. It was hard to see in the dark, but one could discern the silhouettes of the pruned rose bushes at the roadside.
There was a rich scent of flowers in the air. Birds flew away frantically as the car drove by.
The villa possessed the unique style of this city. It was brightly lit from all sides.
Madison looked at it from afar. It was countless times bigger than the villa they lived in.
Looking from the front, it looked like it was the pearly gates of heaven. It looked like a holy and sacred place.
Madison followed Hunter into the living room while stepping on the soft, long-pile carpet. Everywhere she looked, the decor was grand and magnificent.
Madison felt like she was in a palace. There were valuable paintings and antiques wherever she looked. The whole place was simply glorious.
Luckily, Madison wasn’t from a regular family either. So, she didn’t react too strongly to her surroundings.
Instead, she felt a little uneasy. The place didn’t feel like a home. It was more like a museum or palace.
It didn’t feel like a place where people lived.
Hunter’s expression was solemn.
Madison felt like he wasn’t returning home but visiting a grave, or it was like he was at a formal event. Even Madison started to feel tense.
Madison hadn’t asked about Hunter’s mother much on the way here. His three-year-old birthday party probably left a deep impression.
They were about to meet. What face would he make?
Madison looked at Hunter with curiosity. He was pursing his lips, and he had a piercing demeanor.
An emotionless female voice came from above, “You’re here.”
The voice was calm and indifferent, like a chilly beam coming from the sky.
Madison raised her head instinctively and saw a woman in a white dress standing on the second floor of the spiral staircase.
Madison gasped. She had guessed that the mother of a handsome man like Hunter would be gorgeous.
Thinking back to her past, Madison thought Hunter’s mother would be a wild but beautiful woman.
But the woman before her wasn’t at all wild. She was like a queen. Elegant and majestic like the moon, someone you could only admire from afar but never dare to approach.
Her exquisite features made her look like she hadn’t aged a day. Her white dress, pale skin, and the blue bracelet on her wrist made her look stunning.
No matter how Madison looked, Hunter’s mother, Janice Procter, was a calm and beautiful woman. She didn’t look like she would lose her mind for love.
What was Kenneth Williams thinking, leaving such a beautiful woman like her? Even Madison felt attracted to Janice when she laid her eyes on her.
Madison thought Janice would be more excited to see the son she hadn’t seen in a long time. Instead, she was calm.
Hunter replied calmly, “Yeah.”
Like mother, like son.
Hunter grabbed Madison’s hand and introduced her. “Mom, this is your daughter-in-law, Madison Evans.”
Madison was prepared for the worst. She was only there to introduce herself to Janice,
If Janice didn’t like her, she would just leave.
Before Janice could speak, a familiar voice said, “Ms. Procter, has Hunter returned?”
A familiar figure appeared from the corner of the second floor. It was Nikdd, who they had met in Arlandia not long ago.
Hunter could feel goosebumps all over his body when he heard Nildd’s voice. His expression turned cold.
“What are you doing here?”
Nikki quickly walked to Janice’s side and held her hand tenderly,
She said, “Hunter, I have been keeping Ms. Procter company these past two years.”
Madison finally understood why she had been so cocky. So she had been currying favor with Janice. Nikki’s trump card was
Hunter’s mother.
What a plot twist.
Madison didn’t feel jealous at all. She was still trying to guess what else Nikk had up her sleeve.
She felt relieved that she had already eaten at the airport. Or else, she would probably have to starve now.
Madison didn’t try to start anything. She just waited silently for the scenario to unfold. Was Janice going to tell her that her social standing wasn’t on par with Hunter?
Madison rubbed her chin and wondered how Janice would react if she just didn’t care about what Janice had to say.
Nikki looked at Madison smugly, but things didn’t go as she had anticipated.
Janice glanced at Hunter, and then her gaze fell on Madison for a good moment.
Janice broke the heavy silence. “Let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”
Nikki was disappointed. She thought Janice would side with her since she had taken good care of her for the past two years.
On second thought, it was still carly.
Janice had an image to uphold. Nikki realized she had to give it time. She couldn’t afford to rush things along.
Nikki quickly got over her emotions and put on a virtuous act. She said, “Ms. Procter, I’ll help in the kitchen.”
Madison watched as Nikki rushed toward her. When Nikki ran past Madison, she even bumped into her. It was apparent she was provoking Madison.
Janice descended the stairs slowly. Her movement was elegant.
Madison stared at her as she walked. She realized that sometimes people do get bewitched by beauty.
If she were a man, she would love a woman like Janice to pieces.
Madison wondered how pretty Kenneth Williams’s other woman had to be to make him give up on Janice.
As Madison was deep in thought, Janice approached her and asked, “Are you not going to help in the kitchen?”
Janice’s tone wasn’t demanding. It was casual, like how someone’s tone would be when they asked about the weather.
Madison knew that Janice didn’t like her, so she didn’t try to win Janice’s favor.
If Janice disliked her, there was nothing she could do that would change her mind.
So, Madison didn’t even want to put up an appearance.
She said nonchalantly, “The Williams household has plenty of malds. Why would I need to help? They are paid to do that.”
Madison thought Janice would be angered by her reply, but Janice remained expressionless.
She sneered lightly and said to Hunter, “Your wife is an interesting one.”
Madison was taken aback. She didn’t know what Janice meant by that.
Before Madison could make sense of the situation, Janice had already walked away, leaving Madison confused.
Madison batted her eyes at Hunter and whispered, “What is your mother thinking?”
“Come try some authentic Grovale cuisine.” Hunter didn’t answer her question. Instead, he led her to the dining room. Janice was already seated when they entered. She glanced at their interlaced fingers, and her gaze froze momentarily. Nikki brought over a bowl of soup and saw Hunter pulling out a chair for Madison. He sat down after Madison took her seat.
Then, he brought the appetizer, which was placed quite far away, before Madison.
If he was just putting on a show as a loving husband in public, why would he do it here when there were no outsiders?
There was only one explanation. It was how the two of them interacted on a daily basis, like a regular couple.
Looking back at herself, Nikki was trying to curry favor with Janice, but she ended up looking like a cook.
She put the soup down and said to Madison with a pitiable expression, “Ms. Evans, I envy you so much. You married Hunter, and you’re still acting like you’re a guest in the house.”
Nikki was trying to insult Madison, but Madison wasn’t fazed.
