My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 220

Madison was shocked, and a helpless expression appeared on her radiant face. She did not have time to think and hurriedly got up to catch up to Charlie.

The other two people in the office were also stunned for a moment before following them.

Charlie ran very quickly. There was a lot of stuff outside the CEO's office, and Charlie disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Madison came out, she only saw a blurry figure. She followed behind and went to the aisles of the various office areas. When she looked up, she only saw people sitting at their desks. She could not see Charlie at all.

Guilt and unease instantly filled her. Madison did not expect things to turn out like that.

She had been too conceited.

Madison thought that Charlie treated her differently, just like how Charlie did not tell anyone when he was in her arms last night and only came to look for her.

Therefore, she tried to guide Charlie to recognize the current situation with the mentality of an elder. Charlie could not keep everyone waiting for someone they could not find.

But even so, Madison shouldn't have been so straightforward with Charlie.

Moreover, they had only known each other for a day or two. How could Madison know how much Charlie was hiding within himself? 'You're too full of yourself, Madison,' she cursed herself silently.

"Don't worry. The exits in the top floor office require clearance. Charlie won't get lost." John's calm voice came from behind. He patted his sister's shoulder gently. "I'll get someone to check the surveillance cameras later. There's no need to search blindly."

When Madison saw John, the guilt in her heart intensified. "I'm sorry, John."

John could still laugh. "You'll know when you stay at home for a while longer. This isn't the first time Charlie has dared to do this. If he hid in a better place, he could sleep outside for the entire afternoon and come back only when he's hungry. Dad, Mom, and I are already used to it."

"Really?" Madison blinked at him in disbelief.

John could not resist patting Madison's head and smiling gently. "Really. I heard that when you went back with Joe yesterday, he also threw a tantrum and hid. Mum even chased Cybil out. Is that true?" Madison had to rein in her anger at the thought of what happened yesterday.

From John's tone, it seemed he did not know Cybil's character. There was even some affection toward Cybil, like Cybil was his younger sister.

Madison's face darkened as she defended Charlie. "Charlie's tantrum is not without reason. There is a reason why he hid yesterday and chased Ms. Watson out of the house. It's the same today. It's my fault for overstepping."

John was slightly stunned when he saw how serious Madison was. Gentleness rippled in his eyes again. "Oh, Madison."

John couldn't help but rapped his sister's forehead and looked at her helplessly. "You said that you overstepped, but everything you said hit the nail on the head for me. I've heard everything you said to Charlie just now. You're right. What if that woman can't be found? Do I have to live like this for the rest of my life and watch her marry someone else?"

John lowered his gaze and glanced at a certain desk. He did not know where Serena had gone. The work desk was empty, with only a thin blanket draped over the back.

Other than a large pile of documents on her desk, there were also some trendy figurines, books, and snacks placed on it. It was a stark contrast to her business-like coldness.

There was also a vase of flowers in the upper left corner of the table. He knew that it was changed every week. The purple baby's breath was paired with other flowers. Last week, it was sunflowers. This week, it was a bunch of daisies. She seemed to treat the office as her home.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

John's gaze became gentler as he retracted his gaze. "It's all thanks to you reminding me today. Otherwise, I might have regretted it at some point in the future."

John had turned a blind eye to his sweetheart for a woman he had never seen before. What a fool he was.

"But... Charlie..." Madison was worried that Charlie could not accept it.

"Charlie will have to accept it sooner or later. If it weren't for you, Charlie might have found out more cruelly in the future." John was not as patient as his younger sister.

If John thought through what Madison said today in the future, he would only tell Charlie more directly and not coax her gently as she did.

So what if Charlie couldn't take the blow? If a boy from their family could not even withstand such a small blow, how could he gain a foothold in the future?

Moreover, John could not sacrifice himself to coax his son. It was his responsibility to support him. Doting on him excessively was equally as bad.

Madison also understood what John meant. Her expression softened slightly, but her worry did not disappear. "What if we find Charlie's mother in the future?" Charlie missed his mother so much. If they found that woman...

John interrupted her thoughts in time. "Even if find her, would I

marry her for him? She's even willing to abandon her child. She

abandoned such a young baby at

the door of the Daves family in

winter. I don't think such a woman is

worthy of being a mother

"I understand." Madison heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at John. "Let's talk about this later. Let's go find Charlie first."

"Yeah," John answered.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they went to the surveillance room to look for Charlie.

Little did John know that separated by a wall, John's last few words had fallen into Serena's ears. Serena wasn't eavesdropping on purpose.

When Serena came out of the washroom, she heard someone talking about her. It seemed a little awkward to go out directly.

Serena just didn't expect to hear this.

A woman who abandoned her child at the door of the Daves family in winter did not deserve to be a mother. Even if John found her, he would not marry for the sake of Charlie. These few words were enough to make Serena give up completely.

Serena was in a daze for a long ina time. Her face was extremely pale. It was only when someone passed by and walked toward the washroom that Serena pursed her lips and walked away with a dark expression as if nothing had happened. S

Only Serena knew she was not as calm as she looked.

Serena couldn't read any of the numbers on the computer. John's cold words rang continuously in her mind. She didn't deserve to be a mother.

He was right. Serena was pregnant for nine months and she threw the child away just like that. How was she worthy of being a mother?

But if it wasn't for the fact that John didn't love her, why wouldn't she dare to admit to it?

However, this was also good...

Serena had also seen Madison just now. She was very beautiful and looked a little like John. They probably looked compatible.

Charlie also liked Madison very much. Madison probably wouldn't treat Charlie badly.

Madison looked kind. Even if she had a baby in the future, she would probably treat Charlie well. But Madison was not Charlie's biological mother after all...

"Serena, are you alright?" Serena was in a daze when her colleague knocked on the table.

Serena came back to her senses and restrained the emotions in her eyes. "I was thinking about something just now. I'm sorry. Is there anything you need me to deal with?"

It was a newly hired employee at the CEO's station, Mary Pearce. Mary liked to gossip in the department's work group chat. Serena didn't like her.

Due to work, Serena did not make it obvious.

Serena wasn't sure if Mary was doing it on purpose. Mary held her coffee and phone and leaned close to Serena "Serena, do you know who the beauty beside the CEO is? The CEO looks like he dotes gn on this beauty. Look at how he looked at her. Oh my god!"
