My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 201

As soon as Charlie stopped talking, the people around him were stunned for a moment before laughing out loud.

Even Joe and Samuel could not help but smile.

Since Joe saw Rosalie earlier, he did not seem very happy.

As for Samuel, he had always been indifferent and did not have many expressions on his face.

At this moment, everyone was laughing so hard that they almost bent over. It was all because of what Charlie said to Madison.

However, after laughing, everyone felt a little sad.

If Charlie's mother was by his side, he probably wouldn't be autistic. He should be like other children, growing up healthily, crying, making a fuss, and making the elders in the family happy.

It was a pity that Charlie's mother disappeared after leaving him at the Daves old residence.

Madison only laughed for a while before she regained her composure. He felt a little stifled by this innocent child's words.

She looked at Charlie seriously. Charlie did not understand why everyone was laughing.

Madison said, "I'm sorry, Charlie. I can't be your mother because I'm your aunt. Your father is my eldest brother, that's why I can't be your mother."

Charlie's eyes looked even more innocent as if he was trying to process this huge amount of information.

After a long while, Charlie called out, "Aunt?"

"Yes, I'm your aunt, and remember I'm not the new chef."

Madison carried him for a while before putting him down.

This time, Charlie did not wrap his arms around her neck or refuse to let go. However, his eyes were still glued to Madison's face. It was as if he was seriously sizing her up.

After a long while, Charlie spoke again. "Grandma said that Aunt went missing when she was young. After coming back today, our family will be together. As long as I'm obedient, my mother will come back sooner or later, right?"

The child's voice was loud and clear, but it made one's heart ache.

Rosalie was already sentimental. Coupled with the fact that she had been searching for Madison for so many years, she could empathize with Charlie's feelings. Her eyes instantly turned red.

Fortunately, Gina, who was beside her, was sharp enough to see that Rosalie was feeling sad. She immediately supported Rosalie.

Similarly, the others' expressions did not look too good either.

However, they did not know how to answer Charlie.

It was also a coincidence that Joe found Madison. They were related by blood, and she resembled the members of the Hale family.

There were no clues at all as to who Charlie's mother was. It was a daunting task. Nobody knew where to start.

Without 100% certainty, they did not dare to answer.

Sometimes, it was not good to give people false hope. It was better not to expect anything in the beginning.

Madison held Charlie's hand.

She said, "You want to find your mother, right?"

"Sure." Charlie hurriedly nodded.

Madison squeezed his little hand and said with a warm smile, "Then grow up obediently. When you grow up, you'll have the ability to look for your mother. Of course, your father and all of us have never given up on looking for her. If we can find her soon, it will be a happy day for all of us.

"However, I want to let you know that your mother loves you very much. She might just have some difficulties for the time being, so she left you with Daddy to take care of you. You just have to remember that everyone loves you very much. You have to grow up healthily first, okay?"

Charlie did not fully understand. He gestured with his small hands. "It's just like little tadpoles looking for their mother. When I grow up, I can look for my mother, right?" Madison touched his head but did not answer.

"Then let's grow up first. Now we accompany Grandma back to her room to rest, okay?"

Charlie nodded and replied, "Yes!"

Sidovor City.

Leo stared at Cullen all the way, and both men did not utter a single word.

"I really don't know where Jessica is. I've asked and I'm just short of kneeling on the ground and begging her. There's nothing I can do if she doesn't tell me."

Leo's face darkened, but he did not say anything.

Ever since he came back to the office from the hospital, he was in a foul mood, and he ignored everyone.

Cullen really couldn't stand seeing him like this.

"If you have the time to ask about your ex-wife, why don't you deal with your current wife first? How do you plan to resolve this problem?"

Cullen did not know what else to say.

If not for the fact that they grew up together, he would have beaten Leo up!

Cullen thought that Leo was irresponsible!

When Jessica was by his side, Leo still decided to marry Sally Hale. Now that he had divorced Jessica, he kept thinking about Jessica again. Did he realize that his ex-wife was virtuous after being cheated on by Sally?

In the end, Cullen could not help but add. "You are really fucking crazy!"

"I can hear you." Leo finally spoke.

Leo bent down and took out a box of medicine from the drawer. It was treating depression and anxiety.

After swallowing some medicine, he smiled self-deprecatingly.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"You called me crazy, and she also scolded me a lot. However, you guys are right..."

He was sick to begin with.

In the past, when Edgar was around, Leo did not control his emotions and always vented the emotions he could not control.

After Edgar passed away, Madison also left.

Leo could only support the whole Palmer Group by himself and worked under high pressure every day.

In the past few years, other than Sally, no one had cared about him.

Neither did Madison Hale.

When Leo asked Madison to go overseas, she didn't even say no. There was no news from her for the next three years. Wasn't it only right for him to marry Sally after they divorced?

But Sally...

Leo suddenly recalled the scenes at the wedding banquet. He felt like vomiting, and his face turned pale.

Cullen got up from the couch, "Leo, are you alright?"

Cullen wondered, 'What kind of medicine did Leo eat? Did it make him feel like vomiting?'

He poured a glass of warm water for Leo and Cullen's eyes looked worried. "Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

"No need."

Leo looked less pale after a while. He got up and threw the medicine into the drawer. "I'm going to lie down for a while. Get Morris to settle the matters at the wedding banquet. Our relationship with the Hale family is over. Draft another transfer of assets as compensation to the Hale family."

The corners of Cullen's mouth twitched. "You're still thinking of making it up to them?"

Cullen could not understand why Leo wanted to do that.

Leo lowered his eyes. "Just take it that I've paid off what I owe her."

From then on, they would go their separate ways.

When Leo came out of the wedding banquet, he felt a sense of relief. He understood that wanting to marry Sally might not have been his intention at all. It was just that he had been going against Edgar all these years, so he forced himself to marry Sally.

Perhaps Cullen and Madison were right in scolding him. He owed them all their good intentions but he just rebelled against them by rejecting them. Now that he looked back, he realized that everyone treated him well.

However, at this moment, there was no point in saying anything more.

Perhaps a selfish person like him was destined to be lonely. He deserved to be locked up in that dark room with no one to pity him.

It should not be Sally or Madison.

Leo regained his composure and was about to go to the break room when Morris opened the office door.

"Mr. Palmer, I noticed that Creek Court and a few other houses that were transferred to Madison are being put up for sale. What do you think..."
