Madison – You'd have thought she came back to you out of interest, when you had become a successful author... In any case, that’s what she was afraid of...
Alexandre – So, I have a daughter... A pause.

Hello Marina, your translation doesn't quite get the meaning across, may I suggest:
Madison - You might've thought that she'd come back to you out of self interest, after you'd become a successful author . . . at least, that's what she feared . . .
Alexandre - So, I have a daughter . . .
A pause.
