Chapter 42 Rumors

Yoreast Hills Garden was a remote luxury residence in Ocpeace City. One of the unrenovated thirty-acres villas would start at 3. 5 million dollars. Theodore's mother, Madison Allen, lived there.

The lawn was neat, and the grass was trimmed evenly. The morning sun was shining brightly, and the smell of Ceylon tea permeated the air. An elegant woman was flipping through a magazine under a parasol. She wore a beige Chanel dress, and she was seemingly in her fifties. However, she took good care of her skin. Hence there were no visible wrinkles around her eyes.

"Aunt Madison," a woman's voice called.

"Josephine?" Madison raised her head to smile at her guest and urged, "Come, have a seat."

The servants immediately pulled a chair for Josephine. She just sat down when another servant served her a cup of tea.

The servants in the Godfrey family were well-trained, and they carried out their duties smoothly. Any one of them would have been better than the servants in the Bailey family.

Josephine recalled her servants' behaviors, and she felt embarrassed. Instantly, she straightened her back to make herself look tough. Yet, her tone was ingratiating when she parted her lips.

"How are you, Aunt Madison? I've been busy with the wedding so that I couldn't visit you. Theodore's always busy, but I should've dropped by more."

"Men should focus on their careers. I know my son." Madison kept a straight face, but her eyebrows made her look fierce and intimidating. "I'm doing fine, and I'm healthy. You two should just go about with your lives. There's no need to worry about me."

Madison had a strong character, and she was usually cold. Josephine knew that Madison's relationship with Theodore was just passable. Therefore, Josephine just did her part and never tried to get close to Madison. However, Madison still had a say in certain matters when it came to Theodore.

"Theodore told me to drop by too. He's busy with work, and I can't help him. I happen to be free, so I thought I would drop by on his behalf and ease his burden."

"That's nice of you," Madison nodded and added, "Have some tea."
