My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 38

“You…” Leo was taken aback for a moment. He knew exactly what this was, just like several years ago

when it first happened to Madison. He went in person to buy her sanitary products when she was so

embarrassed by it. Thinking back, he still felt somewhat bewildered and found it hard to imagine how

they had reached this point today. However, it was clear that now was not the time to reminisce.

Madison’s face turned red with embarrassment as she hastily lifted the hem of her dress to cover it.

Her voice carried a hint of anger as she said, “Get out of the way!”

Leo looked up at her reddened eyes and took a few steps back. “I’m sorry,” he said.

Madison was not in the mood to accept his apology. She didn’t even want to look at him, clutching her

handbag tightly as she hurried into the restroom. ‘Da mn bas ta rd!’ she cursed in her mind. If he hadn’t

suddenly gone crazy at the entrance to the ladies’ room, she wouldn’t have ruined her dress.

Unfortunately, Madison hadn’t brought her phone as she thought she would quickly return to the

lounge. Now, she had no way to contact Joe and ask him to bring a clean set of clothes. She had no

choice but to tough it out. Fortunately, there wasn’t much blood on her dress.

The first thing Madison saw when she exited the ladies’ room was Leo’s imposing figure. Her

expression immediately turned dark. It seemed that he had been waiting for her. His black suit was

draped over his arm, the white shirt and the vest underneath adding an air of nobility. When he heard

the sound and turned around, he stepped toward her and handed her the suit.

Madison glared at him.

Leo probably knew he was in the wrong, so he refrained from saying anything mean. “Put it on. Even if

you don’t have to change your dress, it’s good to keep warm,” he said.

Although her dress wasn’t designed with an entirely open back, the thin fabric made her prone to

feeling cold. After a moment’s thought, Madison reached out and took it. “You ruined my dress, and I’ll

take your suit. We’re even. I hope that the next time you contact me, it will be because the divorce has

been finalized and not for any other reason.” With these words, she c oolly left, striding in her high

heels.

Leo’s extinguished anger reignited, and he asked in a deep voice as he followed her. “Madison, do you

have to speak to me like this?”

Madison didn’t even turn her head, walking straight ahead. “Mr. Palmer, how do you think I should talk

to you? Besides divorce, is there anything else for us to discuss?”

Madison couldn’t understand where he got the nerve to talk to her about these trivial

matters. Wanting to marry him in the past was out of her foolishness. Now, she had come to her

senses. She would divorce him as he wished, and avoid him and Sally, yet he still wanted more from

her.

She was about to turn toward the lounge, but her path was blocked before she could do

SO.

Leo, with his long legs, quickly strode in front of her, his tall figure obstructing her way. “If you think

there’s nothing to talk about, come home with me,” he said, losing patience and grabbing her wrist with

a stern face.

Surprisingly, Madison didn’t struggle. A faint smile appeared as she tilted her head to look at him.

“Come home with you? So, Mr. Palmer, in what name should I go home with you? Are you sure that’s

my home?” The mockery in her eyes resurfaced, piercing his heart.

For a moment, Leo suddenly considered letting it go. Not getting a divorce and spending a lifetime with

her this way didn’t seem so bad. At least he could refute her words with a good reason for her to come

home. But that thought was fleeting. He involuntarily tightened his grip on her wrist, looking into her

eyes filled with cold amusement. “Until the divorce is finalized, you are my wife. Is that clear enough for

you?”

Madison nodded seriously. “So, Mr. Palmer, you do acknowledge our marriage, right? Then, until the

divorce is finalized, do I still need to call you ‘honey’?” She deliberately emphasized the word “honey,” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

making it sound particularly sweet and cloying.

Leo was taken aback, not even stepping back as Madison moved closer. He didn’t seem to mind the

proximity between them.

Madison looked at him seriously. “But honey, if I call you like this, won’t your sweetheart be angry?”

Leo’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Madison, come home with me, as for other matters…”

“Leo…”

Before Leo could finish, a pitiful voice interrupted him from behind. He was surprised to see Madison in

his arms, her smile brighter than before. She didn’t move, allowing him to hold her wrist as her petite

body almost leaned into his embrace.

The sight of their intimacy stabbed at Sally’s heart. ‘Madison, you bi tch!’ she cursed silently. ‘You’re

about to divorce, yet you wouldn’t let go of Leo! He has never even touched me or held my hand!’

Without thinking, Sally, her eyes filled with anger, rushed over and pushed Madison away. “Madison,

are you a go dd amn sl ut? Are you that desperate for a man? Isn’t it

enough to seduce Mr. Daves from XR Entertainment? Now you’re trying to seduce Leo even after

being divorced, huh? Shame on you!”

Madison was pushed hard, her shoulder hitting the wall with a dull thud, causing her to wince in pain.

“Madiscal” Leo’s eyes showed concern as he moved forward to help Madison. However, before his

fingers could touch her, Madison recoiled from his touch with disgust. She stood her ground, using her

hand to rub her shoulder with a nonchalant smile. “Mr. Palmer, you should explain to Miss Hale first.

Don’t bring unnecessary trouble to me.”

At this point, Leo understood everything. Everything that had just happened was intentional on her part.

Madison had known that Sally was behind them and deliberately said those things to provoke Sally.

Madison even disregarded her safety!

Leo pursed his lips tightly, staring at Madison intently. Madison didn’t avoid his gaze, smiling as if to

say, ‘I did it on purpose. So what? Even if I did it intentionally, you were the one who took the bait

willingly, weren’t you? Since you have feelings for Sally, why sweet-talk me? Women are petty, you

know?’

After a while, Leo finally averted his gaze and frowned at Sally. “Sally, you went too far just now.

Apologize to Madison.”

“Apologize to her?” Sally stared at him in disbelief. However, she didn’t dare to be arrogant in front of

him. Her resentful emotions were quickly replaced by grievance. “Leo, why should I apologize to her?

You’re divorced, and she’s still calling you… She almost threw herself at you, and you even held her

hand!”

“And my clothes are Mr. Palmer’s,” Madison chimed in from the side.

Hearing this, Sally glared at her as if she wanted to tear her mouth apart. But she knew that the angrier

she got, the more Leo would dislike it. Tears were a man’s weakness. So, Sally looked at Leo with

great grievance in her eyes. “Leo, do you not want to marry me? Are you unwilling to divorce her?”
