Chapter 120
Leo was kicked straight to the ground.
Fortunately, the floor was still covered with the bedding that he had padded last night, so he was not
hurt.
But even so, he was startled, especially since the wakefulness of not having slept well made him look
extremely pale.
Madison, unaware of the situation, began to accuse. “Leo, you’re actually this kind of person! You
should have said so earlier if you are not used to sleeping in your bed. What are you doing climbing up
in the middle of the night?”
Leo looked up at her with a sidelong glance, spilling out a sneer.
“I climbed up? Madison, you blacked out again?”
Still holding onto his anger, unwilling to say much to Madison, he took a detour into the bathroom.
Madison’s mind began to work rapidly.
She did not drink last night, so she did not lose consciousness. Even though some of her memories
were blurred like a dream, the scene of her pathetically saying she was scared and begging for
someone to sleep with her was crystal clear.
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, it seemed like she was the one holding Leo when she woke up.
And it was very tight.
Madison slapped her head, feeling deflated and helpless.
‘G od, what have I done? I wish I could die! It was just thunder. I have never been like this before. Why
did it have to happen last night?’ she thought.
The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt. She pulled the blanket over her head
and rolled around on the bed.
After entering the bathroom, Leo splashed his face with water and slowly came to his
senses.
Thinking about his behavior just now, Leo felt that he may have been too harsh. What Madison did last
night was only because she suffered something she didn’t deserve. He shouldn’t have been angry with
her.
As he thought about it, he walked out of the bathroom. Just as he was about to apologize to Madison,
he saw such a scene.
He was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
It looked like the stu pid girl had remembered.
Without looking any further, Leo re-entered the bathroom.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter washing up and coming out of the bathroom, he saw that the room had already been tidied up,
and the quilt was neatly placed on the bed. Even the blanket on the ground was neatly folded and
placed at the end of the bed.
When Madison saw Leo come out, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her bright face. “You’ve
finished washing up?”
Leo raised his eyebrows and looked at her meaningfully.
Madison felt her ears burning up. Her fingers clenched the corner of her shirt tightly.
She was still wearing the baggy white shirt and probably hadn’t had time to change out of it because
she had been cleaning up the room earlier.
“If you’re done washing up, I’ll go in.” After a moment, she raised her hand and pointed to the
bathroom.
Leo nodded and stepped aside.
Madison brushed her shoulder past him and was suddenly stopped by him.
“Madison, do you remember what happened last night?” he asked.
Madison stopped, and her fingers loosened and tightened.
After a while, she gritted her teeth. “No! I lost my memory. I don’t remember anything!”
Upon hearing her tone, Leo became completely certain that she had remembered everything. “Okay,
you don’t remember anything.”
He nodded seriously and then couldn’t help but let out a hearty laugh. He had a nice and pleasant
laughter.
However, it was a harsh melody when it fell on Madison’s ears.
She turned sideways and glared at him. “What are you laughing at?”
“Okay, okay, I won’t laugh.” Leo tried to restrain the smile on his face, but he couldn’t control it and
curved his lips again.
Madison blushed. “You’re still laughing!”
Leo coughed and found an excuse. “I was just thinking about something funny.”
Madison was speechless.
She glared at him with reddened eyes.
Realizing that he was about to make her angry again, Leo quickly turned around. “I’m going to change
my clothes. Quickly go wash up.”
Madison looked at his back. Biting her lip, she went into the bathroom angrily.
When she came out of the bathroom, he had already changed his clothes.
His black suit coat was thrown on the bed. He was wearing a white shirt and suit pants. The most basic
of styles nobly worn by him.
He was looking down at the various styles of ties in the drawer while casually pulling up the sleeve of
his arm, revealing half of his muscular forearm.
Seeing that he was about to use his right hand to pull up his other sleeve, Madison could not help but
frown. “Didn’t I tell you not to use that hand? Do you have to crip ple your hand before you stop?”
She went over to stop Leo’s movement. She glanced at the drawer and chose a dark blue
tie. “How about this one?”
She looked at the suit, which was the most basic style. The fabric of the suit was expensive, but it did
not have any overly complicated designs, nor did it have to match any complex patterns. It was perfect
with a solid-colored tie.
Leo held the tie and slid his fingers across it. He felt that the fabric was not bad and accepted it with
pleasure.
Then, he handed the tie back to Madison.
She frowned and looked up at him. “What now?”
Leo’s dark eyes held a smile. “Just like you said, my right hand is inconvenient to use. Sorry to trouble
you, Mrs. Palmer.”
Madison felt her ears burning up again. “Can you not make such a joke?” she couldn’t help but retort
but still took the tie.
She noticed his palm. There were more bloodstains on the white gauze wrapped around the wound,
but the color was already dark. Perhaps she had accidentally touched his wound last night.
In this case, it was fine to help him.
“Lower your head,” she said as she looked away.
Leo obeyed, bending slightly so she could put the tie on him.

The two of them stood very close, and after a short while, his nose was enveloped by the faint
fragrance from last night.
He lowered his eyes and saw her petite figure. She was wearing his clothes…
He did not dare to look at her body directly. He looked away and saw her bright face, the delicate skin
on her face, and her slightly pursed red lips. Further up were those pitch-black eyes. At this moment,
they were focused on the tie.
“Done.” Madison hadn’t tied a tie in a long time. The last time she remembered doing so was when
designing ready-to-wear clothing last year. This year, her main focus had been on jewelry work.
She was quite satisfied with the Windsor knot.

his chest.
“Have you helped anyone else to do this?” he asked coldly.

Madison was about to help him to pull down his sleeves. After all, it was quite strange to wear a tie with
rolled-up sleeves. But she stopped when she heard that. “What’s that got to do with you?”
Without helping him pull down his sleeves, she went straight to the cloakroom.
Besides Leo’s clothes, there were a few ready-to-wear pieces for women for the current season.
Similar to Creek Court, it was likely that Amber and Leo kept these on hand just
in case someone came to stay.
Leo looked back at her and pursed his thin lips.
He didn’t ask again, but the idea of her helping another man with a tie in the past or the future made
him uncomfortable.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He couldn’t help but want to take off the
tie.
Just as his fingers touched the tie, he changed his mind, withdrew his hand, and pulled down his
sleeves. Then he picked up the suit coat from the bed.
Madison picked a dress and changed quickly. She walked out of the cloakroom a few minutes later.

The long dress could not hide the marks on her shoulders. But since the weather was still relatively
cool after the summer rain, she put on a thin knitted shirt, looking gentle
and noble.
Seeing her come out, Leo’s anger dissipated.
“Is the door open?” Madison asked casually as she looked in the mirror.
Leo looked up and saw that the door was ajar. He wondered when Maya had come.
“It’s open,” he answered.
“Then let’s go.” Madison was satisfied with the dress she picked out and was in a good mood. She had
a smile on her face.

Leo withdrew his gaze from looking at her, grunted in acknowledgement, and followed her out.
He paused as he passed by the bathroom. “I’ll take the changed clothes down to Maya. She’s too old
to go up and down. You can go down first.”
“Okay,” Madison replied. But at that moment, she suddenly thought of something and rushed into the
bathroom. “Wait a minute!”
Her voice stopped abruptly when she saw the cloth in Leo’s hand.
