My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122
Madison was afraid neither of him nor of his gaze.
She just didn’t understand.
He had been so kind and patient to her yesterday night. Why was he suddenly looking at her as though they were mortal enemies? Had her words to his mother just now somehow offended him?
However, Madison quickly let it go. In any case, they would be going their separate ways. soon. There was no need for her to worry about what he was thinking.
If he hated her, so be it. Just as she had said, not everyone in the world was going to like her. Leo was completely within his rights to hate her.
She began to eat her breakfast unhurriedly.
After leaving the dining table, Leo did not look at her again.
He reached for his suit on the sofa, put it on, and bent down to pick up his phone on the coffee table. He turned it on.
Maya came out of the kitchen with barley porridge. When she saw Leo’s bowl and the others, she could not help but say, “Mr. Palmer, you’re going to work now? Aren’t you going to eat some more? Also, you need to change the dressing on your hand.”
Leo did not turn around when he heard her voice, but his hands paused.
Then, he put his phone back on coffee table and sat on the sofa to remove the gauze on his hand. His actions were so rough that it was as if he was not treating a wound. Instead, he seemed to be approaching the task with a sense of self-destruction.
He didn’t open the first aid kit to retrieve the medicine. Instead, he flung the gauze aside, picked up his phone, and stood up in one smooth movement..
Maya still tried to persuade him. “Mr. Palmer, aren’t you going to apply medicine? This won’t do.”
Leo couldn’t be bothered to reply to her. After flinging some rubbish into the bin, he left without another word.
“Look at his temper!”
Amber was so angry that her chest felt stuffy. She had wanted to yell at him throughout breakfast, but she had held it in. Once Leo left, she could not hold back the words that were threatening to spill out of her mouth.

Chapter 122
“Madison, look at him. I don’t even know what he’s thinking. He gets angry and leaves. just like that! I didn’t give him a piece of my mind just now because of you. If it were in the past, I would have beaten him up with a stick! You even put in a good word for him, seriously. But you’re right. I should worry less in the future instead of bothering my head about him!”
Madison did not say anything. She lowered her head and ate silently.
She had witnessed Leo’s unceremonious exit from the room just now. Naturally, she did not miss what Leo threw into the bin.
A tie.
He had thrown away the tie she had put on for him in the morning.
In other words, he was throwing a tantrum so early in the morning because of her?
Why? Was it because of what she said to Amber? Did she say anything wrong?
Madison did not think too much about it.
Although Leo was not a good person to offend, it did not matter if their relationship soured now. In any case, they might not have much contact in the future.
As for work, even if she had truly offended Leo, he might not be willing to waste time on making things difficult for her. If he had so much time, he was better off spending it on new projects.
Therefore, Madison had a rather pleasant breakfast.
After saying goodbye to Amber, Madison drove back to Rose Garden..
On the way, her brother called her.
John was a little worried when he heard that she had stayed over at the Palmer family’s residence last night, so he reached out to her first thing in the morning.
Madison felt a rush of affection towards him. She omitted some of the incidents that happened last night and only talked about how Amber treated her well and even scolded Leo for her.
She was still a little afraid of her elder brother, who was 11 years older than her.
John was not as sl oppy as Joe. He had taken over the Daves family’s old company, even while ensuring that the company he set up in his earlier years was thriving. He scared her even more than Leo with a sour face.
She didn’t say much to John. Whenever he asked her a question, she replied dutifully,

but offered no further information. She did not dare to cra ck a joke with him.
Just as he was about to hang up, John suddenly asked. “By the way, how are the divorce procedures between you and the Palmer family?”
“It should be wrapping up… soon.”
Madison did not dare to tell the truth. “We were going to go through with it some time ago, but something happened with the Hale family. Now that Sally Hale is threatening suicide, we might have to shelve the idea for a bit.”
She had no idea if she was right. Leo had an unpredictable temper. See how she had mysteriously managed to anger him this morning!
What if he was truly despicable, and was only procrastinating the divorce proceedings. to disgust her?
Just thinking about it made Madison angry!
When she returned to the cou
she thought it would be the easiest thing in the
world to divorce Leo. Who knew it would drag out so long?
Fortunately, John did not say anything, and only hummed softly.
“I’m just asking. You know that Dad can’t wait to have you move back into our family. home. Also, Mom has been talking about you for the past two days. Give her a call when you’re free.”
Madison replied sweetly, “Got it, John. I’m sorry that you guys keep worrying about me, but I’ll be back soon. Wait for me.”
The voice on the other end was filled with laughter. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
The call ended. The smile on Madison’s face did not fade. She was very happy when she thought about her future back in the Daves family.
She had so many lovely family members.
How nice!
She just didn’t know when that bas tar d Leo would remember to go through with the divorce proceedings. She actually forgot to tell him last night, too.
However, considering Sally’s state, she guessed that it would be soon. It might even be over in less than a month.
To her surprise, it took less than that.
Chapter 122
When they arrived at Rose Garden, Madison was stopped by Leo’s assistant, Morris Walton.
“Mrs. Palmer.”
He greeted her respectfully.
Quietly. Morris thought it might be better to continue addressing Madison this way. His boss was a capricious man, always veering between divorce and reconciliation. Anyway, they were not officially divorced yet, so he might as well be more careful.
Madison did not want to beat around the bush. “Mr. Walton, don’t call me that. You know that your boss and I are getting a divorce. By the way, why are you here?”
Initially, Morris was still a little timid. He did not know how to open his mouth about the message Leo had sent him here with. Fortunately, Madison seemed rather lackadaisical about the whole thing.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Palmer asked me to come over. He asked if you were free in the afternoon and said that he would go and settle the divorce procedures around four. He didn’t have your contact number, so he asked me to wait for you here.”
Madison raised her eyebrows and fell silent for a moment.
Just as Morris thought Madison was going to go back on her word, he heard Madison ask lazily, “Can’t the capable Mr. Palmer settle something like this himself? Must I really go over personally?”
Morris was speechless.
Leo had not said anything about whether Madison was to join him in person at four. For some reason, Morris had not thought to ask either.
In the past, Leo would simply have sent Morris to do his bidding. However, Morris had received a phone call just now, ordering him to pass on this message to Madison. In person!
He hesitated and said, “Maybe Mr. Palmer feels sorry that he did not show up personally during your marriage. Now that you’re getting a divorce…”
Madison laughed out loud and did not hear him finish his sentence.
“Alright, I understand. Go back to work and tell your Mr. Palmer that I’ll see him at four in the afternoon. And warn him not to go back on his word again.”
Morris nodded. Feeling rather unsettled about the whole thing, he did not say much

else.

On the other hand, Madison was quite happy. She beamed at him, even reaching out to pat Morris on the shoulder.
“Thank you for your hard work. Mr. Walton. Come to Rose Garden for dinner when
you’re free. I’ll get the boss to give you a discount.”
Morris thanked her and watched Madison leave.
Now that he had passed on the message, he had to let Leo know. As he drove, he explained the matter to his boss.
Leo was silent for a long time before grunting his acknowledgement.
Just as Morris was about to hang up, he heard another voice.
“How did she react?”
