My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise novel 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.

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.
