"I didn't mean to shake you off just now. I lost control because I was angry. Sorry." Joe's tone was solemn as he looked at Madison with his dark eyes.
After a long time, Joe pulled back his sleeve. "There's no need to send me off anymore. I'll send a message to Antoine and ask him to pick you up at the entrance so you won't take the wrong path when you return. I'll pick you up tomorrow if you want to go out and play. I'm leaving first."
As he was about to leave, Madison caught up to him again and grabbed his sleeve tightly. "I want to be with you."
Joe paused. Although he did not speak, he looked confused.
Madison refused to let go and declared, "I have something for you."
Joe pursed his lips but did not shake her off. "Follow me if you want."
He turned around. Under the dim street lamp, she could see a faint smile on his lips. Unfortunately, it disappeared in a flash, and Joe returned to his usual nonchalance.
"Joe, where do you plan to stay? Are you still staying at Jason's?" Madison did not know if Joe had a house in Rozalia. They had been living in Jason's villa all along, and Jason had not returned.
Joe drove the car and casually answered, "Let's go over there first. Everything is there. It's not convenient to go anywhere else."
Joe had properties in Rozalia. Each child in the Daves family had villas and apartments since birth.
However, Joe was rebellious when he was young and did not want to stay in Rozalia. He also did not want to see his irresponsible parents, so he did not even want to live in the house they had given him.
Of course, that was what Joe had thought when he was young. He definitely wouldn't reject staying there now. However, it had been a long time since he hired someone to clean that house. It wasn't equipped with daily necessities. Why should he live in such a place? He might as well go back to Jason's place.
"By the way, didn't you say you have something for me? Give it to me." Suddenly remembering, Joe glanced at Madison beside him, who was immersed in her phone and held out a hand to her.
"Focus on the road first. I'll give it to you later." Madison slapped him angrily. Her gaze was still on her phone.
She was sending a message to John and the others to inform them of the current situation.
After all, she had already left with Joe. She could not let the family wait for them at the family residence.
Therefore, she had to make it clear so that Eric and Eva could go back. If they were staying at the family residence tonight, they could rest early.
Joe thought she was reading entertainment gossip and spoke earnestly, "Jessica, you have to spend less time on your phone. It's not good for your eyes. If you look at it any longer, you might go blind!"
His lecturing and naggy tone forced Madison to turn off her phone.
Madison had explained everything to John and the others. She was about to reply to the messages sent to her by the others, but she had no choice but to ignore them for now. "I didn't do it for long. I just told John that we're leaving first. Here, I'm not using it anymore."
As she spoke, Madison threw her phone into the secret compartment in the passenger seat and raised her hands to show her innocence.
Joe snorted coldly. "You'd better do this every day. If you wear spectacles one day, you'll be ugly."
Madison was used to being scolded by him. She propped her chin on her hand and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Rozalia was as prosperous as Sidovor City, but it was slightly different. As far as the eye could see, it incorporated many elements of cities built along rivers. The lights along the way reflected the elegance of the city, and the evening breeze was gentle.
