Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 827

Wiona quickly looked Madison up and down, ensuring she was not hurt before asking her questions. "What happened? Did Tyler hurt you?"

A jolt of panic hit her as she wondered if Tatum had actually forced himself on Madison. But one could never truly know what went on behind closed doors. Now that they were legally married, Wiona had no real authority to interfere or point fingers if Tatum had done something. Still, she held onto Madison's arms, examining her closely with deep concern.

Realizing the misunderstanding, Madison blushed and hurriedly lowered her voice. "No, nothing happened last night. But Tatum wanted me to meet your aunt and your grandmother first thing this morning. I was too scared, so I took the chance to run away. I do not want him to catch me. Please, just take me away, hurry." She pushed Wiona, desperate to leave.

Wiona offered a dry, awkward laugh while staring at the spot right behind Madison. "It is too late."

Tatum had already tracked her down. He stood behind the flower bushes with his hands in his pockets, his cold face laced with a hint of helpless frustration. "Why are you running?"

Madison froze in absolute terror. She was doomed. Too afraid to even turn her head, she clung tightly to Wiona's arm. "Help me... Do not leave."

Tatum did not deny it. "Yes. Since we are married, telling the family means she can officially become part of the Blue family."

Wiona sighed gently. "But have you considered that Madison is not ready for this at all? She only agreed to marry you because you backed her into a corner and she felt guilty about the past. Deep down, she has not fully accepted it yet. Her mind is probably still in a blur. If you push her too hard, what if she suffers a mental or emotional breakdown? I understand your obsession, and I know she hurt you eight years ago. But since things have already come this far, why don't we take it slow? Your lives are tied together now, and she cannot escape, right? Maybe this isn't the right time to go public. Give her some space. If you scare her away again, won't you regret rushing things?"

Wiona took a deep breath, lowering her voice. "Tatum, Madison is my only close friend, and our friendship is incredibly precious to me. I do not want you to hurt her. Of course, you are my family too, and I have to think about your well-being. I just need to know your true intentions. Are you looking for a long-term future with her, or are you just trying to vent your anger?"
