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

Chapter 119

Madison held him and did not say anything, only her grip tightened as if she tried to drag him down with her.

The thunder outside the window quietened, but the rain poured heavier and heavier, hitting down on the eaves.

Leo looked down at Madison beside him and pursed his thin lips tightly. He finally could not bear to look at those scars and reached out his hand to try to pull her clothes up.

The moment his warm fingers fell on her shoulder, Madison, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

“What are you doing?” She stared at him.

Leo’s hand was still in midair when Madison’s gaze caught him completely off-guard. He didn’t know whether to retrieve his hand or not.

After a moment, he withdrew his hand and looked away. “You’re not dressed well. Please tidy up your clothes.”

Madison stood up abruptly. The white shirt slid down her shoulders, and her pale body loomed in the darkness, making it uncomfortable to gaze at for too long.

She seemed to be a little puzzled, lowered her head dully, and then raised her eyebrows slowly as if she could not understand his words. She did not move at all.

Leo realized something was wrong with her.

“Madison?” Leo raised his hand and waved it in front of her.

There was another flash of lightning outside.

In the light, Madison blinked. Her exceptionally clear eyes fixed on him, devoid of any

emotion.

It was as if her soul had been stripped away, leaving only a shell.

Leo pursed his lips and was no longer in the mood to look at the originally alluring scene. He silently tidied her clothes, fastening the undone buttons.

Madison was obedient. She quietly knelt in front of him and allowed him to serve her.

When the top button was about to be fastened, her soft voice finally spilled the words.
