My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise by Lindsay Lewis -

Chapter 169
“No, it’s just that I don’t have anything else to do here. My parents miss me very much, so they want to go back early.”
She maintained a calm face and spoke to Greg as if it was normal.
Greg thought that Benton had rejected her directly. His expression immediately changed. “Hey! That old fa rt. He ate the food but he didn’t want to do anything! That’s dine and dash! Madison, just wait. I’ll go look for him now!”
“Don’t.”
Madison stopped him. With a helpless expression, she patiently explained, “Mr. Nolan did not reject me. It’s just that the dishes today probably don’t suit his appetite. I think it’s proper to disturb an old man. My brothers also hope that I can go back early. Perhaps if I’m with my mother, she will recover. There’s no need to trouble Benton. He’s already old enough.”
She was telling the truth. Madison was not someone who liked to disturb others. She could shamelessly ask for it once or twice, but she would feel embarrassed if it happened too many times.
If she indeed irritated Mr. Nolan, it would ruin Mr. Holland’s connections. She could not ruin his relationship for her matters.
As for her mother’s condition, since it was a psychological illness caused by depression, time was the best heal.
As soon as she finished speaking, Greg’s face darkened, but he did not say anything. It seemed like he agreed with Madison’s idea.
Madison remembered that Chuck was still waiting for her. It was not good to talk to Greg anymore. She regained her composure. “I have friends waiting for me. Greg, I’ll leave first.”
“Okay. Enjoy yourself.”
Greg nodded. Thinking of their parting, she could not help but feel sad. “Don’t have any burdens. Rose Garden will always be your home.”
Madison hummed softly. “I know. Please consider my words.”
She sincerely suggested that Greg leave with her. Other than Rose Garden, there didn’t seem to be anything else worthy of her nostalgia.
As for Edgar, she would forever remember his kindness in her heart, but she was

She only wanted to take care of the living. If Greg was willing to go to Rozalia with her, then Sidovor City would no longer have anyone to be concerned about.
After all, what she cared about was people, not things.
She could come back to visit the Rose Garden every once in a while. Moreover, the Internet was convenient now, so she could also contact Justin online. She could even open a branch in Rozalia for Greg.
However, when people were old, they would miss their hometown. She could
understand if Greg was unwilling to leave with her. Joe’s company was still in Sidovor City, so she could come back every once in a while.
She wouldn’t completely seclude herself from someone she didn’t want to see or never set foot in Sidovor City.
They didn’t deserve her cruel resolution, so she wouldn’t be so petty.
When she returned to the room, the dishes had just been served. Chuck teased her for deliberately coming in at this time. “You come at the right time. You must have been out for a long time, right? so you can taste the dishes the moment you walk in.”
“I didn’t. It’s just a coincidence.”
Madison rolled her eyes at him. When she closed the door and was about to sit down, she realized that her previous seat had been taken. There were a total of four chairs, and there was only one seat left beside Ronnie. There was no other way except to sit down next to him.
The four of them ordered a total of six dishes. And there was a butter chicken. It was made by Madison for Benton. She made a lot and saved a part of it. So now she asked Justin to serve it to their room. It was inappropriate to serve the dish she made alone to other guests. This table was just right because they were her friends.
“This restaurant is indeed worthy of being the highlight of Sidovor City! This butter chicken tastes the same as the one made in my hometown. It’s simply amazing! My mother came to Sidovor City last month and even cooked a butter chicken. I didn’t expect to be able to eat the taste of home in a restaurant one day!”
As soon as the food entered her mouth, the young nurse sitting opposite her suddenly said in surprise and excitement. After eating a piece of chicken, she almost beat her chest in excitement. “I’ve heard of Rose Garden’s reputation on the Internet before, but I haven’t been able to make an appointment. Today, I have to say that it deserves its

reputation!”
The nurse’s name was Moilie Hill, a graduate student. Her mentor was Chuck.
When Madison heard her words, she paused and looked up at her. “Is this hometown’s dish? Do you think it tastes the same?”

Mollie nodded in surprise. “Yeah! I’ve eaten in many restaurants in Sidovor City, but I haven’t found the taste in my memory. This is the first time I’ve gained a taste of my hometown. My father owns a restaurant. I’ve eaten it since I was young. How can I not be familiar with it?”
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but pick up another piece after finishing it. It was obvious that she liked it.
But it was also this action that made Madison’s heart sink completely.
If she told Mollie that it was her who had made this dish, the compliment might have been expressed out of respect.
However, in reality, she did not leak any clues. This dish was served together with the other five. It was the same as the other dishes printed on the menu in the restaurant. It was nothing special to them.
The same dish received different comments from two people. The answer was obvious. It was just a tactful rejection from Mr. Nolan.
Although Madison had expected this outcome, she had not received a true reply from Benton. In the end, she was still hoping for a fluke. Now that the nurse’s words proved that she had been rejected.
“What’s wrong with this dish?”
A gentle voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Madison looked over and met Ronnie’s warm eyes.
They were indeed brothers. Although one was wild and aggressive, while the other was gentle and quiet, the most unique thing was their similar eyes. No matter what they looked at, their eyes looked affectionate. They were like stars twi nkling in the night, seducing people to fall into this dark ocean.
With such a pair of charming eyes, if he chose to be an actor, he would give an excellent performance of acting a prince. Even looking at the cup, his eyes were warm like a breeze in the spring.
Ronnie probably knew that such a pair of eyes was not suitable for business. It tended to cause misunderstanding, so he put on a pair of glasses.

Madison was close enough to meet that pair of magnetic dark eyes.

However, she had been quite familiar with Cullen. At this moment, when she met a pair of similar eyes, she could stay calm instead of getting infatuated. There was only some awkwardness before an unfamiliar man.
Ronnie probably knew that he had said something improper and explained, “I saw that you were a little unhappy after asking about this dish, so I took the liberty to ask. If you have anything troubling you, you can tell me. It’s not good to keep it in your heart. Chuck has been your friend for years. He might be able to solve your puzzle.”
Chuck also nodded. “That’s true. Ronnie is right! You can tell me if there’s anything wrong in your mind.”
It had to be said that Ronnie was a very charming person. Moreover, his tone was always friendly. He was so gentle that it could almost make her heart melt away and expose her inner world.
If they chatted a little longer, not only the dish matter but her other private affairs would probably be revealed by him.
