Chapter 0015
“Madison doesn’t have any male friends, so who are you? Tell me!” Lucas on the other end seemed furious, endlessly shouting.
Ethan’s tone was lazy, with a hint of unpredictability. “I’m her new boss. During work hours, Madison has to surrender her phone. But seeing how persistent you are, I thought I’d convey your message. Unfortunately, I’m very dissatisfied with what you said.”
“This is between Madison and me. What’s it to you? Even if you’re her boss, you have no right to meddle in her personal life!”
The man didn’t care. “Alright then. I won’t convey your message.”
cas became anxious. “You!”
After a few seconds, he held back and softened his tone. “Tell Madison for me, I’m currently at the hospital with Sophia. We won’t be able to return to Slandon Port for a while. Ask her to take care of my mother, that’s it.”
As Ethan hung up the phone, he took a few puffs of his cigarette in succession.
He vividly remembered the similar words his father had said in the recorded phone calls he found in his mother’s phone after her passing.
For the sake of another woman, his father had continuously exploited his wife, disregarding her as a person.
Why hadn’t people like him disappeared from the world?
“President Grant?” William came out to find him.
When Ethan looked up, his gaze startled William.

He simply said, “Permanently blacklist the airline company named Lucas and privately inform other colleagues in the industry.”
This was clearly a unilateral move to ban Lucas’s airline company!
“Is the meeting over? Are you leaving?”
Madison had been waiting for him for over two hours. Fortunately, there was a television in the reception area, otherwise she wouldn’t have known how to pass the time.
Ethan walked up to her, his gaze like tiny hands, carefully examining every aspect of her appearance, not missing anything.
His gaze was invasive, causing Madison to look away slightly.
Until her phone was handed to her, and on the lit screen, the man casually pressed the play button.
Soon, the entire conversation from the previous phone call entered Madison’s ears.
She stood still in place, not moving.
Ethan sat on the couch, playing with the lighter in his hand. “Listen, this is the person you love.”
A long time later, Madison closed the playback and sat down as well. She didn’t show much emotion, but her face was pale.
Ethan was good at observing people’s emotions, and he could sense that she had truly given up after hearing that phone call from Lucas.
“I’m curious, do people like you always consider so-called love and emotions more important than anything else?” His tone held no contempt, as if he simply didn’t understand.

Madison’s mind was in chaos, everything from the past seemed to be pouring out uncontrollably, unable to connect with anything, leaving her thoughts in a mess.
Lucas actually asked her to take care of his mother?
Was it because he was busy gallivanting with Sophia and couldn’t find the time?
Such a person…
Madison had to exert all her strength to keep herself from feeling
nauseous.
“I can only say that I never imagined he would become like this.” Ethan spoke frankly, “You don’t even know what you’ll become in the future, yet you dare to be certain that others won’t change?”
Madison looked up….
That glance furrowed Ethan’s brow.
Madison’s eyes were bloodshot, her desperate attempt to suppress her emotions made him feel uncomfortable for no reason.
Perhaps it was his mother’s experience that gave him a sense of empathy, or maybe it was those few insignificant but comforting words from back then.
“Are you going to cry for him?”
Madison quickly replied, “No.”
She was only disgusted by Lucas’s actions and words, which caused her to shed tears involuntarily.
Ethan didn’t say anything more about the matter.

They entered a designated hotel.
Madison closed her eyes in the room, with the lingering words that
had stirred up her emotions still in her ears.
“Ding-dong-”
The doorbell rang.
Madison went to answer the door.
Outside the door, William smiled. “Miss Clark, President Grant is
waiting for you.”
Waiting for her?
Madison followed William out. She didn’t know where Ethan was, so she could only follow William.
They left the hotel and got into a luxury car. After driving for about twenty minutes, they finally stopped by the roadside.

It was the scent of flowers.
At that moment, a breeze from the tail end of summer blew over, bringing a belated gift.
It was a purple petal of the Jacaranda tree.
Although it showed signs of drying, Madison could still see its original appearance.

clusters of purple filling her vision, Madison froze at the door, forgetting to move.
As far as the eye could see, numerous Jacaranda trees were planted here, blooming vibrantly, as if the world had turned purple, and even the ground was surrounded by purple.
The fragrance of the flowers in the wind was refreshing to the heart. Madison’s heart was beating actively.
“Do you like it?”
Ethan suddenly appeared behind her on the right. Leaning against the doorway, his gaze also fell into the distance.
Madison looked at him, then turned her head.
She wasn’t stupid and could naturally sense certain things.
Her unintentional gesture had been remembered by her future boss, and he hadn’t forgotten to have her come and take a look.
“These are the Jacaranda trees with better quality. They were ed in this estate, artificially cultivated to make their

nder normal circumstances, this place was only open to leaders of various countries and was never open to the public.
As Madison admired the garden filled with the most romantic flowers, a sweet smile appeared on her face. She roamed among them, with Ethan leisurely following behind her.
After circling around, Madison’s eyes sparkled. “President Grant, thank you
Ethan glanced at her. “Just words of thanks?”

Did she know how much money he had spent and what favors he had sold in order to bring her here?
With her hands behind her back, Madison smiled and said, “If you
have any requests, as long as I can do it, I will.”
Without any hesitation, Ethan blurted out, “You’re not allowed to take care of your ex-mother-in-law.”
Madison was stunned.
She never expected Ethan to make such a request.
“You…” Madison paused. “Why do you care so much about my affairs?”
Ethan lazily leaned against a tree, “Innocently broad-minded, can you handle it?”
