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

Chapter 121

At the bathroom door, Madison froze in place.

Startled by her abrupt entrance, Leo, who had been tidying up the bathroom, stopped in his tracks.

Likewise, the flimsy ‘pajamas’ he had just picked up seemed to have gotten a shock. The moment

Madison barged in, it had unfurled to reveal its highly embarrassing design.

Madison held her breath. She wanted to die on the spot.

Leo followed her gaze. When he saw what was in his hand, he raised his eyebrows.

No wonder she had asked for a change of pajamas so awkwardly last night.

Da mn the girl…

Without saying anything, Leo calmly placed the piece of pajamas (which was really little more than a

piece of rag) into the dirty laundry basket.

“Let’s go.”

Hearing this, Madison retracted her awkward expression and silently followed behind

Leo.

Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was rather tense.

Downstairs, Amber and Maya had woken up carly. Breakfast had already been set neatly onto the

dining table. Several dishes were still steaming, which meant the two women predicted that Leo and

Madison would be coming down any minute.

When Amber saw the two of them, she smiled brightly. “Madison, come and have breakfast. Maya

made you shrimp dumplings early in the morning. Come try them and see if they’re the same as

before.”

She did not even deign to look at Leo. It was as if Madison was her biological child and Leo had been

adopted.

If yesterday’s incident had not happened, Madison might have been flattered by this treatment.

However, after experiencing being locked in the room, her affection towards. Amber vanished without a

trace.

However, as the saying goes, rage not at a smiling person! Madison did nothing that might betray the

true extent of her rage. Instead, she continued putting on a polite facade.

“Thank you, Amber, but I have some errands to run today. I’m afraid I have to leave

first.

Amber was stunned for a moment. Trying gently to persuade Madison, she protested, “Why are you in

such a hurry? It’s so early in the morning. Even if you’re busy, how long can a meal like this take? Sit

down and have some food, please?”

“Mom, why force her to stay if she doesn’t want to eat? She’s old enough to know if she’s hungry. I’m

sure she won’t starve to death.”

Before Madison could speak, Leo’s lazy voice came from behind her..

He placed his suit jacket on the sofa and walked straight to the dining room without looking at any of

them. Although none of the others had made a move towards the dining room, he refused to stand on

ceremony.

The meaning behind his words were pretty obvious. It was clear to everyone what he meant, especially

Amber, who had orchestrated the entire debacle yesterday. Her face had turned pale, revealing her

guilt and complicity.

“How could you accuse me of forcing her to stay? We’re one big family. What’s wrong with asking my

daughter-in-law to sit down and have breakfast together?”

Amber was starting to bristle with rage. Forgetting her status as a high society lady, her tone had

become rather nasty. When she turned and saw Leo eating breakfast with a non-plussed expression,

she lost it completely.

“You still have the cheek to sit there and eat? You don’t even take care of your own wife. I don’t know

what you’re doing all day long. Now that our family can finally reunite for a meal, you’re saying that

Madison is being forced to stay! I raised you for nothing!”

The tone and message behind her tirade meant only one thing for Madison: she could no longer afford

to leave now,

She looked up at Leo. The man’s face was as expressionless as ever, but she could tell from his

slightly lowered eyes and slow movements that he was in a bad mood.

She felt a little bad for him. It must not feel good to be scolded like this by his biological mother.

Besides, Leo was a grown-up, and he hadn’t done anything wrong..

Madison pursed her lips and spoke up for Leo. “Amber, I was the one who wanted to leave. It has

nothing to do with Leo. Moreover, I’ve already signed a divorce agreement. with him. He has no

obligation to take care of me. Moreover… he has taken care of me in his own way. I’m very grateful to

him.”

As she said this, Madison recalled how he had patiently coaxed her through the dark and stormy night

yesterday.

Chapter 121

Although she had not been able to control her fear, she was thankful that Leo had not despised her or

done anything else to hurt her.

Amber still felt a little guilty towards Madison. “Silly child, why are you still speaking up

for him?”

The man at the dining table also raised his head. He turned and stared at Madison, hist gaze warm and

heavy. He did not feel any more affectionate towards her just because she spoke up for him.

Madison sensed his gaze and turned away. “I’m just telling the truth. Amber, I think…”

She paused and thought for a moment before continuing.

“I don’t think you should treat Len like this. No matter what, he’s your biological son. Why do you have

to always say such hurtful words? You only push him further and further away. Moreover, whether it’s

marriage or other private matters, I don’t think you should interfere with what he does, Everyone has

the right to make their own choices.

“I know you’ve been very strict with him since he was young because you had high expectations for

him, but Amber, have you ever considered that he’s an independent individual? He has someone he

likes, and he should walk the path he chooses, You may like me, but he’s certainly not obligated to feel

the same way. In fact, I understand if he hates me. You don’t need to interfere so much.”

After her long soliloquy, the entire restaurant fell silent. Even Maya, who came out with the soup,

stopped in her tracks and did not dare to take another step.

Amber was stunned for a long time. When she finally came back to her senses, her eyes were a little

red.

It was likely that no one had ever been so honest to her before. She reached out and took Madison’s

hand, looking as though she had many things to say.

Her red lips moved, but after a long time, she could only mumble, “I’m doing this for his own good…”

She looked at Madison cagerly. The more she thought about her daughter-in-law, the more she liked

her. How heartwarming her words were! And she did not seem to angry about the incident yesterday,

too.

As for the woman his son liked, she was petty and only knew how to cry and pretend to be pitiful. She

was like a foolish concubine from an ancient Chinese serial.

Neither Amber nor Leo’s father approved of her as their son’s wife. Taking someone else as his wife

was good for him!

Madison did not shake off Amber’s hand. She just smiled gently.

“He knows that you’re doing this for his own good, but no matter what, you have to listen to his

thoughts occasionally. Even if both of you are dissatisfied with the situation, you can still sit down and

communicate properly. Why do you have to always say he’s useless? Bad words are very hurtful.”

that

Amber turned around and glanced at Leo. Madison’s words had touched her greatly, but the moment

she turned and saw his sullen face again, Amber felt any warm feelings dissipate. She opened her

mouth to say something but promptly closed it again, holding herself back with what seemed like great

effort.

It was probably something nasty again.

Amber sighed softly. “Let’s not talk about this. Madison, let’s go eat first. I’m very sorry about what

happened last night. Don’t be angry with me. I…”

It would not be completely truthful to say that she could not bear to part with Madison. After all, she

intended to use the girl for her own means.

However, it was necessary to vye for reconciliation on the surface first.

Madison was not someone who held a grudge. Moreover, Amber was really good to her, and nothing

really happened last night.

She smiled. “Let’s have breakfast first.”

Amber was pleasantly stunned by this turn of events. Hastily, she smiled. “Alright, alright. Let’s go cat

first.”

Other things could wait.

But as soon as the two of them sat down, the other person at the dining table got up.

His expression was extremely ugly, as if someone had provoked him. His murderous aura hung thinly

in the air.

Amber frowned. “What’s wrong with you now?”

Leo pursed his lips and did not say anything. Before standing up to leave, he shot an icy look at

Madison.

That gaze sent chills down her spine.
