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

Chapter 114

“Like what you said, that was back then. People will grow up eventually. How can we stay in the past

forever? As for feelings…”

Madison forced a smile, but her eyes were filled with coldness.

“All I can say is, he was a special part of my life, and still is now. However, I am not the same as I was

before. I will not give up other important things in life for a little difference.”

Moreover, Leo was no longer as important in her life as he used to be, let alone make her give up other

things.

On the contrary, Leo was the one who was being left behind.

Letting go of this love, she would find many more and better things in the world.

She was passionate about traditional culinary culture, design, and the freedom to weave her dreams

without reservation…There were also many people she loved and respected, along with those who

loved her.

So, why should she persist in that pretense of love or pitifully cling to an unrequited affection that

parades as romance?

She once thought naively that this was a way to create a relationship with the person. she liked with the

highest probability of success. Once the one-sided relationship formed a bidirectional arrow, she could

proudly proclaim it to the world. See, this was the power of love.

But now, she only felt stu pid.

Madison didn’t want to continue the conversation with Amber. “Amber, I’m going upstairs to rest. Won’t

chat anymore.”

This time, Amber didn’t stop her. She smiled with a hint of fatigue. “Let Maya take you. upstairs. I said

too much just now. Madison, don’t take it to heart.”

Madison smiled as well, nodded, and then left without saying another word.

She came to see Amber because she felt indebted to the Palmer family for their kindness in the past,

but that did not mean she had to give in to their wishes.

She was aware of everything that had transpired that evening.

For instance, Leo seemed to be constantly scolded, as if Amber did not care for her son and was taking

her anger out on him for Madison’s sake. But in reality, she also

understood the ins and outs of the situation.

It all boiled down to Amber not liking Sally and not wanting to see Leo marry her and bring her into the

Palmer family.

As for this Palmer family’s daughter-in-law, even though she may not be a match for their son, she had

known him since childhood and was handpicked by Edgar. She knew him inside and out.

It would be better to try to salvage this marriage than to get divorced and find a new, unfamiliar

daughter-in-law to control her son. After all, the Palmer family did not need a political marriage to

support the company.



Even to say how well Amber had treated her, regarding her as her daughter, only had some truth to it,

but also some falsehood.

She was a good mother, no doubt about it. Madison was confident that if she had. become the

daughter-in-law of the Palmer family, Amber would not have treated her badly.

But she did not have the Palmer family’s blood running through her veins. How could she ever be her

true daughter?

After thinking it through, Madison’s face broke into a smile of relief.

She didn’t give it much thought, she just felt it was natural.

If Amber wholeheartedly treated her well, she would feel guilty instead. Such a relationship was just

fine.

As she was thinking, Maya had already led her to the door of the room. “Miss Madison, I’ve put your

clothes on the bedside table for you. They’re all clean, so you can just change and get some rest.”

Madison nodded and said, “Thank you, Maya, for your hard work.”

Maya smiled and said, “It’s what I should do. You should rest early, and remember to send a message

to your family.

Madison nodded, said goodbye to Maya, and went inside.

Luckily, she had just been reminded that she had almost forgotten to send a message to Joe and the

others. As she turned around, she took out her phone and sent a message to her three brothers.

Of course, she was afraid that they would get angry again, so she specifically added that she had lived

in the Palmer family’s house when she was a child and had secretly hidden some things in the house.

She wanted to take this opportunity to reminisce.

about her childhood.

She tried to convince them that it was dangerous to drive on the mountain road at night, so she should

stay overnight for safety reasons.

In that case, even if Joe and the others had any objections, they could not say anything.

While typing her lengthy message. Madison was so engrossed that she didn’t notice the click of a door

locking. It wasn’t until the bathroom door opened that she instinctively turned around.

The sight of him made her eyes widen in shock. Leo? What are you doing here?”

The man had just come out of the bathroom, his entire body covered only by a towel wrapped around

his waist. There was nothing on top, and mist filled the air around him. Droplets of water dripped from

his damp hair, flowing down his well-defined chest, sliding over his abdominal muscles, and finally,

following the smooth and firm contours, disappearing into the towel.

Although he was drenched, it somehow made people feel parched and mesmerized.

Leo heard her voice and looked up at her without any expression.

Compared to her look of panic, he seemed much more composed.



He wasn’t entirely unbothered. Upon seeing her, he briefly frowned, but swiftly resumed his neutral

expression without revealing any further emotion.

He casually wiped his hair with a towel as he walked over. “Maya said I’m sleeping in

this room.”

Madison’s brain was still processing what was happening when she saw a muscular chest coming

towards her. She automatically moved to get out of the way.

But he stopped in front of her.

Madison was taken aback, and her dark eyes were filled with flusters.

“What… what do you want to do? I’m telling you, don’t do anything stu pid!”

She couldn’t help but gulp.

Leo smiled, and his usually cold eyes were filled with a hint of a smile.

“Madison, I should be the one asking you that question. I came into the room first, and I haven’t even

asked you why you’re here. But instead, you’re the one who’s being aggressive, telling me not to do

anything stup id. And look at us now, who looks like the one who’s more likely to blunder?”

He intentionally lowered his voice and slightly bent over so that he could look Madison in the cyc.



The man’s dark, intense eyes met hers. Drops of water slid down his cold face, trickling over his

muscular back and chest.

As they got closer, Madison could see more clearly, and the unexplainable emotions in her heart

intensified.

In a moment of panic, she averted her gaze, sensing a loss of control that tempted her

to flee.

Once her eyes adjusted to the room’s furnishings, Madison swiftly regained her composure. “This is

undeniably my room. There’s nothing wrong with asking!”

She forced herself to suppress the complex emotions in her heart and looked back with defiance.

Leo followed her gaze and scanned the room. He looked back at her, his smile still in place. “Your

room?”

He enunciated the words softly, with a touch of teasing.

Madison felt uneasy under his gaze and reorganized her words. “This room in your house is the room I

used to live in. Is that okay, Mr. Palmer?”

Leo smiled. “I didn’t say anything. You’re the one who jumped to conclusions.”

He straightened up, holding the towel to wipe his wet hair.

Madison was furious, gritting her teeth and glaring at him.

Leo didn’t take it seriously. After wiping his hair briefly, he looked up at her and said, “By the way,

where do you usually put your hair dryer? I’m going to blow-dry my hair. You go get some clothes and

take a shower.”



“Leo!”

Madison finally couldn’t take it anymore. She gritted her teeth and pointed to the door.

“Get out of here!”
