The servant standing nearby dared not breathe, let alone step forward to stop it.
Rose, on the other hand, remained calm and collected. She watched Madeleine show off with the same detachment one might have while watching a crazy dog perform.
Madeleine was determined to drive Rose out of the Harper Villa, but Rose didn't want to stay here at all.
She grabbed Leah's hand and walked towards the door, saying, "If you're really that capable, then hurry up and ask Elliot to divorce me. I've been wanting a divorce for a long time."
After she finished speaking, she left the villa with her daughter without any hesitation or reluctance.
Madeleine, who stayed behind, looked resentfully at the figures of Rose and her daughter leaving.
'Hmph, you're leaving so decisively now. If you have the guts, don't go tattling to Elliot.'
'However, even if you go tattling, it doesn't matter. Now I have the support of old Mr. Harper and I'm not afraid of anything!'
On the other side, Rose took Leah directly to Valentin's villa to find Valentin and Sean.
The incident from last time has passed, and although Rose knows that Sean is okay, she still can't help but worry deep down.
Sean and Valentin saw Rose and Leah and were both surprised and delighted.
"Mommy." Sean snapped out of it and quickly ran towards his own mother.
Rose caught Sean with a smile, looked left and right, and after confirming that he was okay, she said with a smile, "We are back. Does Sean miss me?"
"Yes." Sean was lying on his mommy's shoulder, tightly hugging his own mommy with his little hands.
Leah made a mischievous face when she saw Sean's expression, saying "Sean, you're blushing."
Sean's face turned red instantly when he heard Leah's teasing voice.
"I just miss my mommy."
...
When Elliot returned to the villa that evening, it was already after seven o'clock.
As soon as he walked into the hall, he smelled the fragrance of food throughout the room. The warm yellow lights made it feel very cozy.
This is the feeling of home that Elliot hasn't experienced in years, causing a faint smile to unconsciously appear on his lips.
He didn't expect that although Rose said so, she would still cook for him and wait for him to come back, just like before.
Elliot walked into the dining room with a smile, but did not see the expected figure.
The next second, Madeleine's gentle voice echoed in the dining room, shattering all of Elliot's fantasies.
"Elliot, you're back!"
"What are you doing here?"
Madeleine pretended to be coy and lowered her head, whispering softly, "Grandpa said you couldn't take care of yourself alone, so he asked me to move in with you."
Elliot's eyes flickered as he fell silent for a moment before asking again, "And where's Rose?"
Meanwhile, Elliot had no idea that she was at Valentin's villa enjoying a delicious meal with two children and hadn't even thought about his existence.
Half an hour later, the sound of screeching tires suddenly echoed outside the house. The harmonious atmosphere inside froze instantly.
