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

Chapter 80

“Of course, it’s to celebrate…” The words came to a sudden halt upon seeing Leo’s. expression. Madison naturally did not continue with the rest of her sentence. She could not understand this man and she pondered, ‘It is clear that you detested this marriage, agreeing only because of your grandfather’s last wish. Now that we are getting divorced. shouldn’t you be happy? Why put on such a sour face?

However, Madison didn’t have time to contemplate. Just a moment ago, the broken plate had cut through the man’s fingertip, and clear water from the faucet mingled with streaks of crimson. She frowned. “I’ll wash the plates. You go tend to the wound.”

“You don’t have to.” Leo casually threw the broken plate along with its pieces into the trash bin without stopping. His hands continued their movements, rinsing the plate clean under the running water, despite the injured hand,

There were only two plates, and with other tableware included, it was not worth changing personnel. However, as Leo turned off the faucet, fresh crimson blood emerged from his hands again, a sight that was quite glaring. The man, however, remained indifferent, casually grabbing a piece of napkin to wrap around the injured hand before striding away, not sparing a single glance at the woman behind him.

Madison took small steps to catch up. “Where’s the first aid kit?” Even though she didn’t see clearly how the plate ended up shattering in the sink, the wound was undoubtedly a result of her wanting to eat. Not addressing it made her feel a bit guilty.

“Instead of wasting time worrying about this, why don’t you check your phone upstairs? I bet quite a few people tried calling you. Leo didn’t even turn his head, throwing the blood-stained napkin into the trash. He took strides to go upstairs, still maintaining the same indifferent demeanor. “I’m going upstairs to catch some sleep. Don’t bother me again.”

Madison had intended to say more, but the last sentence made her shut her mouth. She thought to herself, ‘Fine, I won’t bother you. After all, the wound did not seem too serious. Maybe, by the time I find the first aid kit, it will have healed on its own. You can do whatever you want, I don’t really give a f uck.”

However, Leo’s reminder prompted Madison’s alcohol-addled brain to start functioning. She thought to herself, ‘I did not return home the whole night and did not inform Joe and the others. This is going to be bad!” Without thinking about the consequences, she hastily went upstairs..

Leo, who had already reached the second floor, heard the commotion. Standing in front of the guest room, he furrowed his brow, a hint of impatience on his face as het turned around. “I told you not to… Before he could finish, Madison’s figure had already passed him.

“What’s wrong?” She stopped at the entrance of the master bedroom, about to open the door. Hearing Leo’s words, she turned back, but he had already entered the room, slamming the door shut with a loud thud.

Madison was stunned and though What’s wrong with this man?’ However, she did not dwell on it for too long, though. After all, it was not the first time she had witnessed

since returning to the country. Sally’s ability to tolerate him.

Leo’s erratic behavi remained a mystery.

She pushed open the door and entered the master bedroom. As Leo had said, the changed clothes and her bag were inside the room. The clothes seemed to have been washed and dried, neatly folded on the sofa, emitting a faint fragrance when she picked them up. Her phone, taken out of the bag, had run out of battery, and she had not brought a charging cable with her. The master bedroom was clean, and after searching. for a while, she found nothing. After some contemplation, she decided to take the phone and find Leo.

Before knocking on the door. Madison hesitated. After all, when she went upstairs, Leo had mentioned going back to sleep. She had already disturbed his rest once, and another interruption might be inappropriate. But after some consideration. shel thought he probably had not fallen asleep that quickly. It had only been two minutes since he returned to his room. Her slightly bent fingers reached out and knocked on the door. “Leo, are you asleep?” No one inside answered.

Madison stood at the door for a while, intending to turn back. Just as her steps began to move, the door was pulled open. “Is there anything you need?” Leo’s deep voice was devoid of any emotion.

“I…” Madison turned around, her words suddenly stuck on her l*ps. The subsequent words were lost as she saw the man in front of her. Leo had changed out of his sleepwear, not wearing anything on his upper b*dy, revealing a well-built physique with smooth triangular lines. However, the view was cut off by shorts further down. Even so, the impact on Madison was significant, akin to the confusion after waking up from a hangover.

“Satisfied with what you have seen?” Leo’s lazy voice spilled out as he knocked on the door with his hand. Madison returned to her senses, and the gaze lingering on his abdominal muscles immediately shifted upward, meeting his eyes for a moment before quickly looking away. “I’m sorry,” she said.

“No problem.” The man’s icy tone warmed up a bit.

Madison did not want to linger here, and her speech accelerated. “I came to ask if you have a phone charging cable. My phone is dead. Can I borrow onc?”

Leo lowered his gaze, glancing at her black-screened phone. “Wait a moment.” With

those words, he turned and entered the room. There was no imposing figure in Madison’s line of sight, and she breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling the absence of pressure. But in less than a minute, Leo reappeared with the item in his hands. “You check it if it can work. He handed over the charging cable, and the wound on his fingertip was quite evident, missing a piece of skin, and looking somewhat serious.

The bathroom inside the room was lit, and from Leo’s demeanor, it did not seem like he was about to go back to sleep but rather preparing for a shower. Madison took the charging cable, intending to leave directly but could not resist probing a bit. She asked, “Are you not used to wearing clothes when you sleep?”

Leo lowered his gaze, looking at her, and his eyebrows slightly raised at her words. Presumably, he found the question too dubious and somewhat impolite. Madison hastily explained, “I was just casually asking. If you find it offensive, I apologize.”

“No need.” Leo did not feel offended, his tone light as he answered, “After returning to the room, I could not sleep, so I decided to take a shower. You happened to be knocking on the door.” That explained his current appearance.

Madison acknowledged. “Well, then take care of the wound, avoid water. Although it’s not a big wound, it looks quite serious, and hands are essential. They need protection. If it gets infected, it will be very uncomfortable.”

“Are you concerned about me? Leo stared at her, suddenly speaking. Madison didn’t expect Leo to say such a thing, momentarily stunned. Fortunately, he didn’t press. further, leaning against the door, and continued, “I’ll be careful.”

“Okay, I’ll leave now. Thank you!” With those words, Madison thanked him and left, as if a wild beast were chasing her. Her figure quickly disappeared from his line of sight. He didn’t rush to close the door, replaying the scene of Madison fleeing in his mind. After a moment, he finally closed the door with a light click.

In the master bedroom, Madison’s heart was pounding. She bellowed inwardly, ‘Da mn! This man! We are getting a divorce, yet he still pulled such a move on me. She slapped her checks, quickly pushing all the inappropriate thoughts out of her mind. But soon, she was no longer in the mood to think about these things.

After charging her phone and turning it on, a series of missed calls and WhatsApp messages flooded Madison’s screen. Not only Joc, Antoine, and Samuel in Sidovor City but even John had called her. Jason also had sent her quite a few messages, asking about her whereabouts. Even ten minutes ago, Ethan had called.

‘Goodness! I will never drink again!” Masidon screamed in her mind.
