My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel Chapter 36

"There's no need to insult your husband, Fanny. That hurt me," the man who had just entered said, dressed in a cream-colored suit similar to Samuel's and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a very refined temperament.

"Caius," Madison smiled and greeted him as she stood up.

"Sit, there's no need for such formality among family." Caius gestured for Madison to sit while he sat next to Fanny. He opened the water bottle he brought and offered it to the person next to him.

"Have a try. You've been busy all evening. You must be tired," he said.

As the lid was opened, the aroma of soup wafted from the water bottle.

However, Fanny didn't seem to appreciate it. "Why did you bring this here at this late hour? Do you think I'm not fat enough? And why are you using my water bottle to hold soup? This is unbelievable!" Her words sounded harsh, but she took the bottle and sipped from it slowly.

Caius smiled contentedly and gave Fanny a shoulder massage. "Fat? Of course not! You're so skinny. You need to take care of yourself. I used the water bottle because I know you can't drink too much, and you think the thermos is too ugly."

Madison, sitting on the side, silently watching their display of affection and feeling the sweetness of it. She was also surprised to see this side of Fanny. The "Iron Lady," when encountering the man she loved, could transform into a cute little girl.

Fanny pushed Caius' hand away, knowing that it wasn't appropriate for them to behave intimately in front of Madison, especially since she had been hurt by a scumbag. "Cut it out."

Caius wasn't upset and still had a smile on his face. "By the way, what were you all talking about just now, to end up cursing even me and Samuel?"

Madison briefly recounted what they had just talked about.

After listening, Caius' expression became more serious. "If you're sure about getting a divorce, it can't be delayed any longer. Jessica, you've suffered enough. You can't fall into the same trap again."

Although the late Edgar had a great responsibility for her marriage, if Madison hadn't agreed to it back then, he wouldn't have forced her into it. So, in a way, Leo was also a victim.

But no matter what, Leo's actions toward Jessica were excessive. Even from a man's perspective, Caius couldn't defend Leo especially since it was his niece who was mistreated.

Madison couldn't help but wear a wry smile at their reactions. "Fanny, Caius, it's not that I don't want to leave because of my love-struck mind. I wish it could happen sooner. It's Leo who started dragging his feet suddenly."

Saying this, Madison couldn't help but think, 'He was the one who asked for a divorce, and in the end, he's the one who's dragging his feet. What a psycho!'

"He's dragging his feet and doesn't want to get a divorce?" Fanny and Caius exclaimed almost simultaneously, their expressions almost identical.

Madison nodded. "Yes, he misunderstood my relationship with Joe, thinking that I was with Joe for money. He said I should cut ties with Joe before we proceed with the divorce. But I don't mind. I can wait. He's the one with someone waiting for him, so the divorce is a done deal."

Fanny scoffed coldly as she thought, 'He's just pretending to be kind! If he cared, how could he leave Madison alone overseas for three years without checking in on her and even hire someone to hurt her?'

Caius pinched the bridge of his glasses, looking serious. "If that's what he's thinking, it's not so bad. But I'm afraid there might be other motives. But since it's possible to get a divorce soon, let's wait and see."

Madison agreed. As she said, she wasn't in a rush. It was Sally who should be.

"Oh, here you are." The door to the lounge opened, and Joe and Samuel entered, carrying some fruit and snacks. After exchanging greetings, they sat down.
