Chapter 156

The sour tone, combined with Leo’s expression at the moment, vividly showed that he had caught Madison wearing him the horns.

Madison was so tickled by his absurdity that she couldn’t help but laugh. “Mr. Daves has nothing to do with you, Leo. Why are you so concerned about who I spend my time with?”

Observing his demeanor, Madison realized that he had once again jumped to the wrong conclusion. It was just like the day she first encountered Joe.

The circumstances had indeed changed.

‘Back when our relationship was in limbo, Leo had some say, as our emotional ties were still recognized by law.

‘But what about now? We are officially divorced, and he is engaged to Sally. What gives him any right to dictate my actions?

‘It is especially preposterous considering my companion today is my stepbrother. Even if another man is courting me, offering roses, what authority does Leo have to berate

me?

The very thought was laughable, Madison thought.

Leo, with his scrutinizing gaze, seemed to consider his oversight a given. “Grandfather always said to look out for you. Even if you and I were to divorce, our connection doesn’t simply vanish. Shouldn’t I be concerned about my stepbrother’s intentions. toward my sister?”

Madison was taken aback by his rationale.

‘How can someone be so twisted to assume a brotherly role post-divorce? It is ludicrous. Yet, there is my real biological brother aside, Madison thought.

And the person next, Joe, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Initially, the Hale family wanted him to conceal Joe’s identity to avoid issues, as they saw how Antoine was overtaken by greed.

Now, he was getting a bit addicted to keeping it a secret. It was quite amusing to see this kid being fooled.

Under the shadow of Leo’s stern gaze, he didn’t justify his relationship with Madison but held Madison’s shoulder.
