Capturing the Millionaire’s Heart on Divorce Day
Chapter 46

Chapter 0046 

Madison was jolted to her core. 

Was he truly intoxicated or not? 

If not, why would he ask such a question? 

Perhaps exhausted, Madison didn’t think much before she sat down on the edge of the coffee table next to him, her elegant legs resting on the ground. 

Her hair fell loosely around her, and she suddenly laughed-a languid sound tinged with indolence: “Does it bother you?” 

Ethan rested a hand on his forehead, his already handsome features intensified by the flush of alcohol, exuding a raw, captivating charm- 

“It does.” 

Madison’s smile froze for a split second. 

In the silence of the night, there was only the exchange and col of their gazes.  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Madison’s nature was a blend of softness and resilience. Despi her seemingly tender and gentle exterior, she harbored the spirit of lone wolf slowly awakening within her. 

If provoked, even her gaze could become a forceful weapon. 

Like now, in the quiet of the night, her eyes focused solely on Ethan. 

“Why does it matter to you whether I divorce or not? Ethan, what are you thinking?” 

She had to ask. 

To her surprise, Ethan was silent for a full second before bursting 

into laughter. 

He rose to a sitting position. 

His tall frame dominated the space, and upon sitting up, he was face to face with Madison, leaving no distance between them. 

A single breath could be felt by the other. 

This time, Madison didn’t awkwardly dodge away; instead, she met Ethan’s gaze directly. 

His elbows rested on his knees as he leaned in slightly, his intense eyes focused directly on her face: “Can’t you see why?” 

He felt surprisingly sober. 

Yet, he didn’t know how he ended up voicing the thought, laying it 

bare for both to see. 

He knew that once said, the consequences might not be what he 

desired. 

But with forthrightness countered by forthrightness, there was nowhere left to hide, leaving Madison’s heart in a frenzied panic. 

Among adults, some things didn’t need to be spelled out clearly you’re smart enough, you’d understand. 

Like Ethan’s words just a moment ago. 

After a long pause, Madison ran her fingers through her hair, laughing hollowly as a tinge of bitterness spread through her gaze: “I am someone who has undergone a failed marriage. I have achieved nothing remarkable in my career, I have no special qualities. I can’t understand.” 

She couldn’t grasp why Ethan would… 

Be interested in her? 

Ethan was silent for a moment before speaking: “Who cares if you’ve been married before? Who cares if you don’t have a shining career?” 

Madison looked up: “Then why do you care about me?” 

She was too embarrassed to voice the words ‘you like me.’ 

It wasn’t just embarrassment, but deep down, she truly didn’t believe Ethan could fancy someone like her. 

To be slightly vain, Madison believed that aside from an acceptable appearance, there was nothing about her that was deserving of Ethan. 

“I like you,” he blurted out unexpectedly. 

Madison was stunned, “What?” 

Ethan furrowed his brows, his gaze intense as he spoke each word deliberately: “I like you. Did you hear me clearly?” 

Madison felt like she was losing her sense of hearing. 

Under his oppressive gaze, she could only respond stiffly, “I you.” 

Ethan stood up and walked away before lighting a cigarette, lea against the couch back, his voice trailing over- 

“I don’t care about what you just said. It’s not because of your looks, and definitely not out of pity. If I must have a reason, well, even a toad will lust after a green bean.” 

Madison’s features scrunched in confusion: “Toad?” 

Ethan turned sharply, casting her a chilling look. 

She immediately zipped her lips, motioning for him to continue. 

A hint of a smile spread across Ethan’s face as he watched her subdued expression, “So, I’ll wait for you to get divorced.” 

??? 

Wait for me to get divorced for what? 

“No, that’s not right.” Ethan corrected himself, “You’re going to USCS the day after tomorrow, right?”
