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

It rained heavily during the night in Sidovor City, the rain pelting against the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Leo woke up in the storm. He was in a daze. After knowing that he could not fall back to sleep, he got out of bed and stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the night view of the city. Since he divorced Madison, he stayed at the company. Occasionally, he would return to the Palmer family's residence for a few days. Most of the time, he worked.

He saw Madison again in his dream.

Leo should have forgotten about her long ago, but Madison kept appearing in his dreams repeatedly. He could not get rid of her. It was as though they were entangled. 'Why...' he thought.

Leo looked at the rain slowly running down the windows in rivulets. His mind was screaming in confusion. Why did he dream of her again and again?

He closed his eyes and tried to meditate, focusing the sound of rain outside.

But involuntarily, Leo thought of that rainy night in the family residence.

It was as though the skies had opened up and heavy rain poured down from above that night. It was different from the sound of the rain tonight. Lightning flashed, and a fragrant warmth burrowed into his

arms...

Leo suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were still filled with confusion and disbelief. He actually...

Compared to the disgusting scene in the hotel during the day, he could feel that he was not disgusted when he thought of Madison. In fact, he was unwilling to open his eyes and wanted to get lost in it. It was fine in the dream, but why was he thinking about Madison when he was lost in his thoughts...

A trace of anger flashed across Leo's face. He turned around in frustration and went to get a bottle of ice water. As the cold water entered his stomach, the burning desire in him vanished.

Leo had been sleeping since the afternoon after taking the medicine. It was only when he woke up suddenly just now that he did not feel sleepy at all.

He picked up the phone he had thrown in the corner of the couch and returned to his usual coldness. The phone screen lit up, showing it was four in the morning.

Leo had not looked at his phone the entire night, and there were many messages left for him. There were also many missed calls. There were even messages sent to him, afraid that he would not be able to see them.

Most of the calls were from Ramona. This time, Sally disappeared completely.

Maya had called twice, but Leo did not pick up, so she texted him on WhatsApp. She said that Amber had woken up. Other than her blood pressure being a little high, there was nothing wrong. As for the other messages, most of them were about the company.

A small number of people came to ask him how he was doing. They might not be concerned, but they were there to laugh at him. There were even bold people who directly introduced him to a new candidate for a wife and sent Leo photos to ask if he liked them.

Leo only felt a headache coming on and turned off his phone.

The frustration he had suppressed vaguely rose with the onset of the headache. He pressed his temples to try to ease it, but the familiar face appeared in his mind again when he closed his eyes. He was so shocked that he suddenly opened his eyes.

The rain outside the window gradually lessened. Other than the occasional sound of rain hitting the windows, it was quiet.

His five senses were also magnified at night. Leo sat alone in the empty and dark room. Some thoughts that had been suppressed in the day quietly rose in the darkness.

As he held his breath, a thought suddenly formed in Leo's mind. He missed Madison.

Leo used to think that he would never miss anyone.

When his grandfather passed away and was buried, he did not shed a single tear. Now that three years had passed, he had never thought of his grandfather who had brought him up and educated him. In fact, his memories of his grandfather had gradually faded.

Leo was cold-hearted and had always been selfish. He was a very shrewd businessman and had never been a good person. That was Leo's evaluation of himself.

Leo had done his duty by his grandfather. If he was a good person, why would he think that it was normal for people to fall sick and die? It was natural for his grandfather to pass since he was old.

Leo was a rotten person through and through. No one loved him, so he chose to marry someone who loved him, even if she schemed for his money.

But it was a rotten man like him who missed his ex-wife on a rainy night.

Leo lowered his gaze. His fingers inadvertently caressed the phone screen. The phone lit up suddenly, projecting light onto his face.

Miss her? Leo began to ponder over it.

Not only at this moment, but every time he made an excuse to go to the Rose Garden, or even earlier when he sent her overseas, he would call her from time to time, even though he was mercilessly rejected by the mechanical voice.

Leo scoffed. He actually missed the heartless woman.

However, it was probably because Leo couldn't control his emotions late at night, and his body also did what he wanted to do.

He wanted to call Madison again. He logged into the new account that Cullen had sent him.

The heartless Madison had curried favor with his grandfather and schemed to marry him. After returning to the country, she had schemed to divorce him. Now that the witnesses had been changed, and there was no news of her, why was he the only one thinking about her?

Leo found Cullen's WhatsApp. As they rarely use their phones to contact each other since they spend most of their time together, their last message was still when Cullen sent him Madison's new contact information a few months ago.

His gaze lingered on the screen for half a minute. A sense of familiarity and uneasiness began to climb in his heart, weaving into a fine net that wrapped around him.

Leo did not duplicate the number. Instead, he switched to his address book and searched for a contact.

The name he gave Madison's number was her name. The first number he opened was the one Madison had saved on his phone.

Leo had saved it since he was in school. He had changed his phone many times over the years, but he had not changed the number. It was synchronized with the SIM card.

Leo recalled the domineering look on the chubby girl's face when she snatched his phone away when he was young. He stared at the caller ID in a daze.

Madison... The person who had always been by his side seemed to be Madison.

When did it change? Leo could not remember. He tapped on the screen with his finger, revealing the number he had saved.

A moment later, a self-deprecating smile flashed across his face, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

He did not stay idle either. He clicked on the settings in the upper right corner and clicked on the blacklist numbers that were meant to block out harassment...

There was only one number, and it matched the phone number Cullen had sent him.

On the other hand, the phone number saved in his contact list had been changed. Just a digit out of the string of numbers.

Because of this, Leo had mistakenly thought that Madison had been angry with him for three years overseas and that she had cared about everyone while deliberately ignoring him.

In the end, Leo could not be bothered with her.

It turned out that Madison was the one who had been blacklisted. It was his phone that had kept her on the blacklist. It wasn't that she didn't want to look for him. Madison just couldn't find him. Leo was really such a rotten person!

The high walls that surrounded his heart for many years suddenly collapsed because of this. If he blamed Madison for neglecting him all those years, then what was he doing now?

He thought of what Cullen found out about how Madison had suffered overseas, Leo's eyes turned cold. What if she called him when she was in danger?

Leo felt like breaking down just thinking about that.

If that happened, Madison would be in despair as she was overseas and could not contact anyone when she asked for help.

Leo closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he suddenly threw his phone at the wall opposite him.

Crash!

The screen shattered into pieces. After a loud noise, there was a dark silence. Even the sound of the rain could no longer be heard.

After some time, Leo, who had been sitting on the couch for a long time, stood up. His hands trembled as he picked up the phone on the ground and took out the card.

He had to let Madison out of the blacklist.
