Chapter 158

Cullen didn’t feel there was anything wrong with what he said, despite the chilly gaze from beside.

He had been feeling unwell and went to see a psychologist regularly, using the half- baked theory he learned to distort and analyze emotional problems for himself.

“Here are your car keys, by the way,” Cullen said.

Remembering what he came to the Rose Garden for in the evening, Cullen took out hist car keys from his pocket and handed them to Madison. “Hey, thanks for lunch. The car is parked next to the cake shop at Green Water Bay. I heard you live around there, so you should be able to see it as soon as you go back tonight.”

Madison caught off guard, accepted the keys. “I didn’t say it was urgent. Why rush over here to return them?”

Cullen’s expression conveyed a sense of defeat.

He let out a heavy sigh, annoyance evident in his voice. “Some people insisted on a lunch that dragged on, then I ended up borrowing your car. He wasn’t pleased, so I had to make it back for dinner to hand over the keys.”

Madison offered a tight-lipped smile, her response curt. “Well, since you’re here, you might as well join for dinner. But don’t expect me to wait around. I’ve got my i

meal to catch.”

She dismissed Cullen with a wave and turned away from Leo, signaling the end of the conversation as she led her second brother out of the scene.

Joe acknowledged them with a mere nod, not well-acquainted enough to engage further.

Once Madison and her brother departed, only Leo and Cullen remained.

“Aren’t we going to grab something to eat?” Cullen looked back at Leo with a mixture of curiosity and humor.

Since Cullen appeared, Leo had not said a word again, only cold eyes, even if you looked at him now, there was no slightest easing.

Glancing at Cullen, Leo took a step and headed towards the direction of Rose Garden.

As he walked toward the Rose Garden, Cullen couldn’t help but form his theories about why Leo had shown up in the first place, and he couldn’t help but find it funny when he thought of the way he looked in the car.
