My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise by Lindsay Lewis

Chapter 118

Madison was silent.

After a considerable pause, with the outside of the room quiet as if the thunder and lightning were just a prank, her voice sounded again.

“Isn’t she afraid of thunder?”

Just one sentence brought up many memories of the past.

It was on Edgar’s birthday at the old residence.

Edgar did not like Sally. He was advanced in years and did not like to celebrate birthdays. He only allowed for a meal at the old residence with his family and considered that a celebration.

Madison was naturally invited.

At that time, Sally had almost confirmed her relationship with Leo. However, Edgar never approved of it. He publicly announced that the Palmer family’s granddaughter- in-law was only Madison, so Leo was especially rebellious then.

Leo returned to the old residence very late at night. The dishes on the dining table had already been cleaned up. Edgar did not wish to see him and had gone upstairs early.

Madison secretly left some food for Leo and waited for him to return before reheating

it in the kitchen.

That night was also a thunderstorm. At first, it was also a low thunderclap.

Madison remembered that when she heated the food and brought it out, Leo had answered a call and rushed out. He gently comforted the girl on the phone so she would not be afraid.

Throughout the entire call, he did not turn around to look at her.

Lightning flashed, and he slowly disappeared from her sight.

After which, a deafening thunderclap echoed through the air. She was so frightened that she involuntarily tossed the bowl in her hand. The hot soup splattered on her legs, leaving a reddened mark as the bowl fell and shattered on the ground.
