"Madison, I'm home!"
Cole was cheerfully walking towards the bedroom, a delicate box in his hand.
Tomorrow was the first anniversary of his marriage to Madison.
In order to commemorate this important day, Cole had left work early to buy a refined box from the boutique, placing something quite valuable inside.
Beginning from now, he decided no longer to hide his identity. He wanted to be honest with Madison and give her the enviable happiness that every woman dreams of.
"Darling, I get your point, I'll divorce Cole tomorrow!"
The voice coming from the bedroom caused Cole's steps to suddenly halt.
His jubilant smile froze on his face.
Darling? Divorce?
Who was Madison talking to on the phone? She wants to divorce him?
Cole's brows furrowed as he solemnly pushed open the bedroom door.
Inside the room, Madison was sitting on the edge of the bed, dressed in a very seductive pink lace nightgown.
Her soft, blush-colored lips, her skin as smooth as milk, her curvy figure, extraordinarily enticing.
But at this moment, Cole was in no mood to appreciate it, and walked directly over.
Seeing him suddenly return, Madison was shocked, a flicker of panic in her eyes.
"Cole, what are you doing in here?! Don't you know how to knock?!"
She scolded in an adorable voice, pulling up the quilt discontentedly to cover her nudity.
When she got married to Cole, Madison made him promise not to enter their bedroom without her consent.
But this time, Cole didn't placate her as usual.
Instead, he frowned, "Did you just say you want a divorce?"
Hearing this, Madison immediately recognized what was happening.
Her face darkened, "You actually dared to eavesdrop on my call!"
"You don't trust me, do you?"
"Cole, you coward, how dare you question me? Take a good look at whose call this is!"
Seeing Cole, who usually complied with her, daring to challenge her today, Madison bellowed in anger.
She viciously threw her phone at him.
Cole caught it, looking at it with a puzzled expression.
On the recent call list was the word "Mom".
His facial expression paused, and his heart was suddenly filled with immense guilt.
He had misunderstood.
His mother-in-law had never approved of their marriage, often urging Madison to divorce him, causing him a lot of trouble.
Yet Madison never took her mother's words to heart, always appeasing with agreement but never following through.
Cole was fully aware of this situation.
However, he had all but forgotten it because his mother-in-law hadn't mentioned it for half a year.
"Madison, I..."
Cole lowered his head in an attempt to explain.
Madison looked at Cole with anger and disdain, "Cole, I know exactly what's going through your mind. I have tried to save face for you in front of my mother multiple times. But now, you dare to question me?"
"Fine. If that's the case, I've had enough of this life. We can divorce tomorrow!"
"Madison..."
"You don't need to say anything!
Ever since marrying you, I've been washing your smelly security uniform everyday.
Going out for meals, we'd have to count every penny, let alone bearing the horrible stench of public bus every day.
Look at the garbage life I'm living now! I beg you to let me go!"
Cole was stunned by her words.
Hastily, he responded, "Madison, I know it's all my fault, but please believe me. Starting from today, I can give you the happy life you want..."
The moment these words came out, Madison let out a scornful laugh.
"A happy life? Cole, what dreams are you having?
Do you think I would believe these words?
You are nothing but a lowly security guard, with a highest monthly salary of just three thousand yuan.
Can you afford the Hermès, Burberry, LV...that I desire, you worthless man?
Facing Madison's accusations, Cole's face paled, silent.
Indeed, he was now a humble security guard, and for the year and more they had been married, he could not afford Madison the good life she desired.
But he had his own difficulties.
He thought that as long as he had a passionate heart, he would receive the purest, cleanest feelings, unrelated to money and fame.
But now, Cole knew he had been way too naïve.
All of these were meaningless in the presence of money.
At this moment, Cole only felt as if his heart had been stabbed, the pain unbearable!
He clutched his chest, laughed at himself.
"Madison, I know you don't believe anything I say now, but this gift is something I especially prepared for you, and it contains everything you want. So, I beg you, give me another chance, please don't divorce me?"
Cole handed a delicate box to Madison, his facial expression still gentle.
Since she didn't want such a life, he could give her the whole world.
"Slap!"
Without any mercy, Madison knocked the box out of Cole's hands.
And then sneered coldly, "Cole, don't think you can fool me with a mere box.
Such an act is childish and ridiculous, only making me more disgusted!"
"Besides, the only reason I married you was because I had no other choice.
But now, things are different, I don't want to waste my time on you anymore!"
"That's it, I don't want any more nonsense from you, let's get divorced first thing tomorrow morning!"
Having said that, Madison pushed a bitter-faced Cole out of the room and slammed the door shut.
Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, Cole gave a bitter smile.
He quietly picked up the box on the ground, opened it, and took out a card made of pure gold.
This card was unlike any other ordinary card.
It was gleaming with a golden light, and on the back was a flourishingly inscribed character "Sky" in the style of a dragon dancing and a phoenix flying.
More importantly, this card could be taken to any bank to withdraw at least hundreds of billions of cash.
In addition, with this card, one could also own dozens of listed companies, with each company worth at least five hundred billion.
The owner of this card is none other than him, Cole.
A super war god with formidable combat power that resonates across the world!
Commanding an army of three thousand dragon souls, all nations bow down wherever he goes.
Such a person standing at the zenith of the world, be it princesses, imperials consorts, heiresses, or female CEOs, all of them will submit to Cole with just a wave of his hand, and surrender themselves to him.
But at the height of his power, Cole chose to live incognito, working as a mere security guard in Madison's company in Fortina City.
There's only one reason for his action - to covertly protect Madison.
As for the reason why...
