The woman stiffened at his words, her lips pursed without a word. She glanced around at everything around her, all of it exactly the same as when she left five years ago.
She suddenly thought back to what had just happened here - the sight of Madeleine with that little boy.
In that moment, she suddenly felt that Elliot was a joke. She looked back and sneered at the man standing in front of her.
"Sir, you must be joking. I dare not be called the mistress of this villa."
She gave Elliot a meaningful glance and said with sarcasm, "Isn't that lady who came here the mistress of this villa?"
Elliot's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly again and his voice remained cold as he spoke again. "Madeleine is not my wife."
"Why not?" Rose was somewhat surprised.
If it weren't for her two children causing trouble, he would have married Madeleine long ago. Why was he saying such nonsense now? Besides, Elliot had been with Madeleine for so many years; how could they still not be married?
Just then, Leah came down from upstairs and interrupted the silent tension between them with her sweet voice. "I'm hungry and want to eat Tempoyak Patin."
Rose immediately turned to look in her daughter and smiled faintly. "Okay, I'll make dinner now."
"And make mine too," Elliot suddenly spoke up before quickly taking out his phone to call his assistant.
The phone was quickly answered by a puzzled voice on the other end, "Mr. Harper?"
"Postpone the appointment tonight," said Elliott coolly before hanging up on his assistant and turning back to look at Rose who had snapped out of it by now looking at him incredulously.
After a while, she calmly said, "I can only cook Tempoyak Patin."
Elliot heard this statement but immediately felt a headache coming on...
Meanwhile, after leaving the villa with her child, Madeleine went straight to a famous restaurant for dinner, but couldn't stop thinking about what happened inside that villa earlier. How could that damn woman have recorded everything? That bitch better pray that luck would favor herself next time too, or else she would make that bitch regret ever existing in this world!
Just as Madeleine was feeling indignant, the little boy sitting opposite her kept pursing his lips, with a pitiful expression all over his face.
After a while, Shawn timidly spoke up when he saw that his mom still hadn't ordered anything.
"Mommy, I'm hungry. Aren't you going to order food?"
The boy's words were like a fuse, igniting all of Madeleine's anger towards him in an instant.
She glared angrily at the little boy, her pretty face filled with sternness.
"All you know is to eat. Why didn't you speak up for me just now?"
