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

Chapter 173

“She’s not my wife.” Almost subconsciously. Leo blurted out and looked at Madison finnly. Tm not

married to her not my wife.

Madison almost refuted that both of them prere divorced. She would even address Sally as the new

Mrs. Palmer. she said all that, Leo would suspect her being jealous of Sally. So she changed her

words. “But everyone knows that you to marry her. She will become your wife, eventually. It doesn’t

matter if it takes a while. Now leave. Don’t you know woma are sensitive? If Mrs. Palmer finds out you

left her in the hospital to care about my business, how do you plan to coax her?

When Leo heard Madison’s words, he felt her words to be heart piercing, specifically the part where

she addressed Sally as Mrs. Palmer. It seemed like it shouldn’t be addressed to Sally, but

Leo quickly dismissed the thought. He was supposed to marry Sally and avoid the marriage arranged

by Edgar, But somehow, he felt Madison should be the legitimate Mrs. Palmer,

I’ve already visited her when she was hospitalized. Now that her injuries have recovered, there’s no

need to keep looking after her. Besides, I’m not a doctor, Even if her injuries are that serious, what can

I do! As for cousing her. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I coax her?”

Leo explained to Madison. Then, he gave her an impatient gaze. He looked like he expected better

from her. On the other hand, you caused trouble every day when I didn’t keep an eye on you. You

might even be kidnapped and forced to give money in large sums!”

“What kind of trouble do you mean? Madison stared at him in disagreement.

But Leo snorted and kicked the flat tire of Madison’s car. Yesterday, you injured your leg. Today, your

car broke down. Tell me, in

this time of needs, what can you do if there’s no one by your side to look after you, huh?”

Leo’s long legs, which wrapped in his suit pants, took a step towards Madison, forcing her to retreat.

But when her back touched the cold car door, she quickly reacted and pushed the person in front of her

away. “Isn’t my leg injured because of you?” She said those words without hesitation

“As for my tire, how would I know if it’s going flat today? Can you blame me in this situation?” Madison

stared at Leo, feeling he was being completely unreasonable.

Leo looked at Madison’s angry face, and the sadness in his chest dissipated for some reason. He

lowered his eyes and met her black eyes that were wide open from anger. After that, he chuckled softly.

“But no matter what, you’re the one who’s in trouble, right? And the trouble you have requires another

person to step in Coincidentally, I’m the only person who is near you. So, let me give you a helping

hand.”

He made a gentle gesture, obviously wanting to take her away. Upon seeing Madison did not move, he

immediately reached out to pull her. But before his fingertips could touch her, she avoided him.

Madison looked up at him with a tired expression. “Leo, are you completely oblivious to this situation or

faking it?”

Leo’s hand paused in mid-air. When he heard her question, he looked at Madison’s plain face in front

of him. He then retracted his hand indifferently. His expression was calm as if seriously processing her

words.

However, he couldn’t find the right answer. In the end, he asked curiously, “Then what do you think I

should know? Or rather, what do you think I’m pretending to not know?”

Madison took a deep breath. Then, she tried to speak to him patiently. “Leo, we’re already divorced,

and you’re about to have a new wife and new family. To you, I am nothing more than your ex-wife, and

legally, we no longer have anything to do with each other. Do you understand?”

“Tunderstand, but so what?” Leo looked at Madison in confusion He didn’t understand how her words

were relevant to the problem she currently faced. After that, he asked, “Do people’s relationships have

to be bound by law? We are divorced, I know that, but we’ve known each other for more than 20 years.

Are you going to destroy those 20 years as simple as destroying those documents?”

Chapter 173

Madison pursed her lips. She didn’t want

mr to argue with Leo much longer. She felt that the man had his version of social perspective. So, no

matter what others said it would never make sense to him. Regardless of whether she still had feelings

for him, they were already divorced. If they continued to see each other, she would be a third wheel in

his new family.

In the past, Madison still had that legal marriage certificate and had the right to be Leo’s wife. But at

that moment, she didn’t have it. She couldn’t have a more intimate relationship with him. Even if he felt

it didn’t matter to help her, she couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart.

When Madison was the legal Mrs. Palmer, she hated and envied what Leo had done for Sally. But after

the divorce, she wasn’t. Or at least, she no longer had the right to be envious, nor did she have the

right to demand being treated like Sally,

Since Leo didn’t understand, Madison decided to make it clear. She closed her eyes, then opened

them again and looked straight at him.

“Yes, I can’t possibly tear apart a relationship that lasts for more than 20 years. But Leo, have you ever

thought that some relationships can’t accommodate a third person Back then. I liked you and I loved

you, so I was willing to marry you. It was also because I knew my limitations and position that I could

tolerate what you did for her. However, just because I excised what you did doesn’t mean Tm not

feeling disappointed! When we dated, every time you gave Sally whatever she wanted. my heart

ached. I was wondering why you wouldn’t give me something to show that you at least care. Why did

you turn a blind eye every time you saw ane?

Madison sobbed and continued, later on. I fully married you, and you were the one who propose. I

thought. This is it. 1 could be a good wife by your side and take good care of you. But what about you?

You sent me overseas because of Sally. The only thing you know is I’m okay with it. But at that

moment, do you know what I was thinking? Trn your wife! Why do you have to send me away for

another woman? It she doesn’t want to see my face, she should ve been the one who leaves. But I

know my place, so I decided to trust your and accept your arrangement. When overseas, I had been

waiting for your call, but you never called. Once I heard something about you, you operied a new

company for Sally and turned her into an A-list celebrity. When I read the news, I saw how compatible

you guys are But at the same time, I also thought that it has always been both of you, never been us.”

Madison tried to remain level-headed and sighed. “Now that were divorced, you’re showing your

concern to me? Have you ever thought whether Sally would be jealous and become the ‘me from back

then? The bottled feelings in her heart were revealed at that moment. Her eyes were already red as

she looked at the man, who looked at her with mixed emotions.

On the other hand, Leo was shocked by her words. There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes. He

opened his mouth bur didn’t know what to say,

After a long while, she apologized. “I… I don’t know that-

Madison chuckled, and her eyes were covered in tears of sadness. “Of course you don’t. You never

asked in the first place, so how would you know?”
