My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 212

No sound came from the phone. There was only silence.

Madison frowned and took a bite of her tuna sandwich. She glanced at her phone. The number was somewhat familiar but she couldn't remember it. "Who is it? If you don't talk, I'm hanging up." Just as Madison lost her patience and was about to hang up, a voice finally came from the other end. "It's me."

The two words were spoken with a hint of caution.

Even so, Madison still recognized the voice immediately. She was a little shocked. Then, she was puzzled.

Madison had deleted Leo's number a few years ago. Although she had called him in her first year abroad to give it a try, it had been so long now that she had almost forgotten that number.

But why did Leo call her? Hadn't he blocked her long ago? Leo couldn't possibly think that she had hired someone to destroy his wedding and come to question her, right?

"What's the matter?" Madison asked warily.

Her tone also made Leo secretly sad. For a moment, Leo did not know what to say.

"You're craz-" After waiting for a long time for a reply, Madison cursed and planned to hang up the phone.

Before she could put down the phone, Leo's low and slow voice sounded again. "Madison... I'm sorry."

Leo went on, "It's my fault for treating you that way in the past."

This time, it was Madison's turn to remain silent. A deep crease appeared in the middle of her brows and her radiant face was filled with confusion. "You... You called me so early in the morning just to apologize to me? What did you do? Don't tell me there's some news about you and me online?"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She and Samuel had spent a lot of effort and time cleaning up the previous farce. It was not easy for the netizens to slowly forget her. She did not want any strange news to happen again. "I'm telling you, Leo, didn't have anything to do with what happened at your wedding with Sally. Don't blame me. I won't take the blame. If there's anything on the Internet, hurry up and clean it up for me."

Madison was on the phone and could not read the news online. She could only warn Leo.

"It's not that, Madison." Leo seemed a little helpless, but one could tell that his tone was less dejected than before. "It's because I'm sorry for the bad things I did to you in the past. I ignored you when you were with my family, when you were overseas, and after you returned to the country... I've let you down."

The man's low and slow voice fell, and the phone fell silent again.

After a long time, Madison finally asked in confusion, "Are you alright?"

Madison looked conflicted. She bit her fork and did not know what to say.

Leo was apologizing to her because of the past? How amazing! It was unbelievable.

Madison had almost forgotten about the matter. Even if she remembered, she did not take it to heart.

In the past, when Edgar was around, Leo did not only ignore her. He did the same to his mother, too. He either lost his temper or turned a blind eye to Amber.

As for when she was overseas, Madison was over it. Leo did not love her. Who was she to ask someone who did not love her to always think about her? If it were Madison, she would also find it annoying. As for after she returned to the country, Leo didn't seem to have done much. Madison seemed to be the one scolding him most of the time, and she didn't suffer at the hands of Leo.

Madison always remembered kindness and did not bear grudges. If she was really unhappy, she would forget about it.

She simply waved it off. "Alright, I got your apology. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I still have things to do."

If Madison delayed her meal any longer, she would be late to send her nephew to school.

However, Leo was unwilling to hang up. "Madison, where are you now? I came to Rose Garden and they said you've left Sidovor City. Can you tell me where you are? I want to see you."

Madison immediately felt goosebumps all over her body. 'Is he all right? Does he have nothing to do? Can he not speak to me in such a tone? I'm not Sally. Is he out of his fucking mind again?' she thought. Madison was so frightened that she almost smashed her phone on the table. She hung up without thinking and did not give Leo a chance to speak again.

She shouldn't have answered Leo's call! Oh yes, she shouldn't have accepted it in the first place!

A qualified ex should be as good as dead, and her ex-husband was the same.

It was also because of her poor memory that Madison started chatting with Leo like an old friend.

With that thought in mind, Madison took out her phone and blacklisted the latest number.

"Aunt Madison, who called you? Are you angry with him?" Charlie was almost finished with the breakfast before him. He thought that if he wanted to be a gentleman, he should wait for Madison, so he ate the rest very slowly.

"No one. He's just a salesman. I blacklisted him." Madison smiled at her nephew and forgot about Leo.

The man was simply crazy.

Yesterday, Leo was still holding a wedding with Sally. Today, he called her ex-wife and told her, "I want to see you." He even used that affectionate tone. It was crazy!

It couldn't be that since Sally had cheated on Leo, he couldn't take the blow and wanted to turn back and return to Madison, could he?

Thinking of that possibility, Madison's impression of Leo was greatly reduced. What a scumbag.

Although he did not treat Madison well in the past, it was understandable. After all, it was not wrong to not love her. Marrying Madison was not what Leo wanted.

The damn man even gave her 200 million dollars after the divorce. In terms of money, Madison still felt that Leo was quite nice.

But now... calling him a bastard was too nice an insult.

As she thought about it, Madison lost her appetite. Even her tuna sandwich did not look appetizing anymore.

"Aunt Madison, are you not eating anymore?" Charlie could not help but ask when he saw Madison put down her knife and fork.

"Yes, I'm full. Let's go, I'll send you to school!" Looking at her adorable and sensible nephew, Madison's mood instantly improved.

If not for the fact that she had just finished eating, Madison would have pinched his face again.

However, hygiene was the most important, so she dismissed the idea. They quickly washed their hands, took Charlie's bag, and left the house. They happily headed to school.

At the same time, in Sidovor City, Leo, who had been hung up, was still in a daze.

However, compared to his dispirited state in the morning, his current situation looked much better.

A faint smile even appeared on Leo's face. "Madison didn't block me."

On the other side, Cullen was speechless when he saw Leo's current state. He clucked his tongue in disdain. "Look at how you are!"

Leo laughed. "What do you know?"

Cullen sighed heavily. "Of course, I don't understand. I've never blocked Jessica before. Not only do I have Jessica's number, but I also have her WhatsApp. I'm chatting with her every day." Cullen's bragging words slowly poured out of his mouth. He received a cold glare from Leo. "That's enough."

"Impossible." Cullen was almost bragging. When he saw Leo's expression, he wished he could repeat it in front of Leo all the time.

Cullen leaned against the back of the couch and said, "So, Leo, did you ask where Jessica is staying now?"
