Chapter 1126 At This Moment
Ava thought for a moment. If Scarlett found out they were sleeping in separate rooms, it would probably cause a lot of trouble. To avoid upsetting her, she finally nodded, "Alright then. By the way, where's Sunny?"
The butler said, "Sunny is in the nursery. He fell asleep right after being fed. The servants will take care of him, so you two can rest without worrying."
Ava responded with a nod, feeling quite tired herself.
After they returned to the room, they looked at each other awkwardly.
Ava said, "You go take a shower first."
"It's okay, you go ahead. There are clean clothes ready for you. I'll wait until you're done."
Ava was very tired and didn't want to think too much, "Alright, I'll go first then."
She walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and even locked it.
Alexander heard the sound of the lock and felt a pang in his heart.
He felt miserable again.
When they were still married, they often showered together, doing whatever they wanted. Now, they were like the most familiar strangers.
Alexander sighed lightly, opened the door, and left the room to check on Sunny.
Just as he reached the door, Madison came up to him, "Alexander, are you going to sleep in the same room with her? How can you do that?"
Worried that Scarlett might hear, Alexander grabbed her arm and led her away.
Once they were in a secluded spot, he let go of her, "Madison, Grandma still thinks Ava and I are married, so we have to stay in the same room. Don't say anything in front of her."
"If you're afraid I'll say something, then you shouldn't sleep with her. You can sleep in separate rooms and just pretend to come out of the same room in the morning. After all, you're divorced now, and it's not appropriate for a single man and woman to..."
"Madison," Alexander interrupted her, "I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I'm sorry for what I did to you before, treating you as a substitute, as a comfort. I appreciate everything you've done for me, but I can't keep treating you this way. It's not fair to you. I believe you'll find your own happiness, a man who truly loves and cherishes you, not as a substitute. But that man won't be me."
Madison's mind was about to explode. She stared at him in disbelief, thinking she had misheard.
She looked at Alexander in shock and said hoarsely, "What are you saying?"
"I'll give you some money to ensure you're well taken care of, as compensation. From now on..."
"Stop talking," Madison interrupted him.
Alexander frowned slightly, "Madison, I have to say this..."
"Enough," Madison took a step back and suddenly laughed, "How can you say something like this now? Are you mad at me? Do you think I'm being unreasonable? I'm sorry, I apologize. I know I was wrong. I understand why you're in the same room with Ava, it's okay. I'm going to bed now, I'm really tired."
Madison turned to leave.
Alexander grabbed her arm, "Madison, I meant what I said. Even if you avoid it this time, I'll say it again next time."
"Then let's talk about it next time. Alexander, you saw Ava and got impulsive, so you said these things. After some time, maybe Grandma will get confused again and won't recognize Ava. By then, she'll leave, and the only one you'll have is me."
