Hunting for His EX-Wife

Elliot was deep in thought, pondering the most crucial point when suddenly a shout came from outside the door, carrying a familiar voice.

He frowned and glanced outside the ward, where the bodyguard immediately reported, “Mr. Harper, it’s Miss Fox.”

“Uh-huh.” Elliot nodded, having recognized the other person’s voice. Madeleine’s demeanor was a bit intimidating. “Bring her over to see the children.”

Sure enough, in no time at all, Madeleine appeared in the hospital room, crying and running towards the bed. After seeing Elliot, she slightly composed herself and came in with red eyes. “Elliot! How is the child? Is everything okay? What happened exactly? How did it suddenly turn out like this…”

Madeleine threw out a series of questions, and Elliot glanced up at her. He saw the worried expression on her face and realized it was genuine. His furrowed brow relaxed slightly, and some of his impatience disappeared as he said, “Shawn had a heart attack, but fortunately he was sent here in time. The doctor said it was not a big deal and he would wake up after resting for a while.”

There was a hint of gentleness in Elliot’s tone, unlike his usual cold and ruthless demeanor towards Madeleine. This was because he felt a slight tenderness and guilt towards the child.

“What the hell is going on? Shawn is pretty fine usually and seldom has an attack, so how come today?” Madeleine gritted her teeth as she continued, “I heard it had something to do with that bitch Rose and her two children.”

Elliot was still supporting that bitch Rose!

‘Why on earth! That bitch has had children with other men, does Elliot really want to reconcile with her? Impossible! I cannot let this happen.’

At the thought of this, Madeleine gritted her teeth and suppressed the resentment, jealousy, and hint of hatred deep in her eyes. She began to cry and lamented, “Elliot, Shawn must have suffered a lot without me by his side during this time. Look at him, he’s lost weight and his face has become much thinner!”

As Madeleine’s cries made Elliot shift his eyes to the little boy in the hospital bed, she hurriedly said, “Shawn grew up with me but now she was in your villa with somebody else taking care of him. He must feel very uneasy. Elliot, he can’t leave me. Can you let me stay with him?”

Madeleine asked carefully, afraid that Elliot would get angry with her after hearing it.

‘Rose, that bitch can stay in the villa all the time and even be with Elliot day and night. Why can’t I?’

Despite experiencing what happened last time, Madeleine didn’t give up. Her goal has always been to marry Elliot, and she still had Shawn as a bargaining chip.

Her desire to move into the villa was too obvious. Elliot reflexively wanted to refuse her by saying “This was just an accident. This kind of thing won’t happen again.” The hidden meaning in his words was that she didn’t need to move into the villa.

Madeleine’s face turned pale instantly, her eyes blinking constantly as she cried out loud about her concern for her child. “Elliot! My son has been living with me all along. He left me now and he must be very uneasy about it. Moreover, there are other people living where you live now who won’t treat Shawn well enough. You know, Shawn is in poor health condition!”

In fact, Madeleine was more worried that if Shawn lived in the villa for a long time and got along with Rose well enough, then she herself would probably be forgotten by him while Elliot pursued Rose…

No! This can’t happen!

She absolutely cannot allow this situation to occur; it must be nipped in the bud before it happens! She still needs Shawn’s help to win over Elliot’s heart so that she can marry into the Harper family.

Old Mr. Harper doesn’t like her right now because she had slept with some other man, but she was still at an advantage when compared with Rose.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Madeleine’s eyes flickered away from those calculations and darkness as she looked at Elliott pitifully while crying out loud.

Elliott wasn’t patient from the beginning; seeing Madeleine cry only made him feel more annoyed.

If they really let Madeleine move into their house then things on Rose’s side…

His brow furrowed tightly. Since Rose and Madeleine had a tense relationship, things would definitely become worse if they lived together.

Elliott’s face looked very unpleasant at this point. His instinct told him not to agree which he wouldn’t do anyway, “I’ve been busy lately due to my work schedule, if you want the child to stay with you…”

Madeleine’s eyes lit up at his words; she expected him to say what she wanted to hear.

As soon as she moved into the villa, she would be closer to Elliot and show Rose who the future mistress of Harper Group really was!

“Then let Shawn go to your place and you can personally take care of him,” Madeleine’s excitement showed on her face, but it quickly turned into disbelief as she looked at Elliot. “How is that possible?!”

Elliot wasn’t easily fooled. He looked at her expressionless and coldly asked, “Hmm? You’re worried about Shawn, aren’t you?”

Of course not! It’s not Shawn I am worried about!

Madeleine almost blurted out what was on her mind. Her face turned white then red as she didn’t know how to continue.

It was clear that Elliot wouldn’t agree to let Madeleine move into his villa. Not only did he have no feelings for Madeleine, but he also wouldn’t allow any other women to live there while Rose was already staying there.

Madeleine tried every trick but couldn’t get Elliot’s approval. She began resenting Rose even more.

So, Madeleine changed tactics by hinting that what happened this time had something to do with Rose and her child.

“… I’m worried about Shawn like this too. This whole thing is because of them, if it weren’t for them, my son wouldn’t be lying here now. Elliot, look how pitiful Shawn is… you should at least give me an explanation.”

Madeleine softened her tone and stopped talking about moving into the villa altogether; instead asking for an explanation.

Elliot became annoyed again by all these tears shed by Madeleine; if it weren’t for his concern over Shaw’s condition, he would have left immediately without a second thought. But now…

He pinched his brow irritably before speakin, “What do you want me to do?”

Madelein bit down on her lip, suppressing all her anger and resentment. “I want an explanation from Rose! My child is like this now; I am desperate as a mother! I can’t just leave things like this!”
