My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 176

Rose Garden.

After receiving Maya's message, Madison quickly got out of the car. Disregarding anyone in her way, she hurriedly went towards the private room given by Cullen to look for Leo.

The usual ten-minute walk was forcefully completed in three minutes. Without caring about manners or etiquette, she pushed the door open and entered the private room.

The two people in the private room looked over and saw Madison gasping for hair as she supported herself against the door.

"Leo..."

She ran so fast that now she couldn't speak clearly. It took a while before she could even utter his name.

The man's dark eyes glanced indifferently in her direction. Seeing her, he continued sipping coffee in front of the table, showing almost no reaction.

Although he didn't say a word, his expression screamed at her to leave the room.

On the other hand, Cullen came over to help her up. "What's wrong, Jessica? Why the rush?"

Gasping for breath, Madison was weak and her legs felt sore. When Cullen's hand reached over, she grabbed it tightly to ease her painful breathing.

It had been too long since she had run so fast. It was as if she had experienced another race in school. She could not adapt for a moment. Even taking a breath was painful for her lungs.

"If you can't say it, then get lost."

No one knew when Leo turned to look at them. When his gaze landed on their joined hands, his expression turned dark.

Cullen was very dissatisfied with Leo's attitude. "Leo, can't you see how tired Jessica is? It's fine if you don't pour a glass of water for her to rest, but why are you speaking in such a tone?"

What kind of tone?

What tone should he use?

Wasn't it what she said herself – they divorced and no longer had any relationship with each other? What was she doing back here now?

Leo glanced at them with dark eyes. Even Cullen felt like an eyesore to him. "If you don't want to stay, you can get lost with her."

Cullen was about to flare up, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Madison.

She grabbed his sleeve, gave him a look, and stopped his actions.

Fortunately, Cullen was also obedient. He did not say anything when he was told not to. He simply raised his arm to give Madison support. He even maintained a good distance from her.

Madison only relied on his support for a short while. When her legs were no longer that sore, she withdrew her hand from Cullen's arm and looked up at Leo.

"I won't be staying long. Maya called and said that Amber collapsed when she went to the hospital for a physical examination today. She couldn't get through to you, so she called me. That's why I came to look for you. If you don't have anything more urgent right now, you should hurry to the hospital. For dinner, I'll bring some snacks from the back kitchen for you. If you mind the food at the hospital, then Cullen can also help you prepare something else."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Leo did not have much reaction. She was a little anxious. "Leo, Maya did not specify the situation on the phone. I only heard that she was very anxious. Hurry up and go over to the hospital."

The Palmer family didn't have many people left now. There was Leo as the only son, Amber came from the Masterwood family. Even if she still had relatives, she also wouldn't be able to rush over now. Leo was the only person that Madison could go to now.

However, the man remained calm and composed. He slowly got up from the dining table and leisurely walked over.

"Look who's in a hurry? Those who don't know better might think that she's your mother."

He walked up to Madison in just a few steps. Leo stopped in his tracks and his deep gaze was filled with mockery. "Didn't you say that we have nothing to do with each other? Why are you here now? Are you pretending to be a kind person?"

"Leo, what's wrong with you?" Cullen could not take it anymore and could not help but speak.

Madison pursed her lips and closed her eyes tiredly.
