Chapter 13 5

Madison turned around and saw Antoine’s well-defined side profile.

She nodded, her eyes filled with worry. Her gaze subconsciously shifted in the direction where Joe had disappeared.

“Antoine, do you know it?

Antoine followed Madison’s gaze and a faint smile appeared on his clear face.

“Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you.”

He carefully told Madison some of the things that had happened within the Daves family in the past.

In recounting these events, not only did it involve Joe’s past. but occasionally. Antoine also mentioned things among the other brothers. He even brought up the incident where their aunt led Uncle Smith into the Daves family. By the time he nearly finished. it was already late at night, and Madison was already sleepy. After washing up, she lay down and quickly fell asleep

When she woke up the next day, she was still a little dazed. She sat in the room for a while before she regained her senses.

As usual, she made breakfast herself. Unlike before, she didn’t do it according to her preferences. This time, she added an extra breakfast.

She toasted the bread, spread it with sliced fruits, and adorned it with yogurt. The cut eggs and a cup of milk looked a little out of place when placed together with orange juice and croissants beside them.

When Joe went downstairs, Madison happened to have placed all the breakfast neatly. When he saw everything on the dining table, he raised his eyebrows and looked a little surprised.

“Yo, Jessica, did something good happen to you today? There’re so many dishes on the table.”

Without any hesitation, he started cating without waiting for anyone.

Madison came out of the kitchen and saw that Joe’s tie was draped over the back of a chair. He was already holding a knife and fork and starting to eat the toast that was not perfectly baked.

She smiled and sat down in front of her croissants. “Joe, you’re too much. You ate more than half of it without even asking who it was for.”
