My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise

Chapter 200

The piece of chicken looked delicious and there were even traces of steam coming from it.

For Charlie who was already hungry, it was undoubtedly a huge temptation. No matter how strong his willpower was, he could not help but swallow his saliva and try to take the piece of chicken. However, he raised his small hand and lowered it again. Charlie stared at Madison, and his tone was extremely serious.

"Dad says that we have to eat together at the dining table. We can't steal food from the kitchen."

Then Charlie swallowed. He looked very lovable.

If not for the oil on her hands, Madison would want to pat his little head.

She thought, 'Oh my god! My nephew is so adorable!'

"Don't let your dad know! Look at your uncle..."

Just as Madison was about to talk to Joe who took the plate of grilled steak away, Madison realized that Joe was not in the kitchen.

She could only look away helplessly.

Madison handed the piece of chicken to Charlie.

"You should eat it. No one will know."

"No, I have to wait for everyone to eat together."

Charlie gulped again and shook his head.

Madison could not help but laugh. She did not force Charlie to eat it. Instead, she ate the piece of chicken.

As she washed her fingers, she teased Charlie, "Your father told you not to run around. Why are you hiding here secretly? Do you know how worried everyone is about you?" As soon as she finished speaking, Charlie's little face was filled with sadness and guilt.

"I didn't do it on purpose," he whispered.

"Then can you tell me why you're hiding?"

After washing her hands, Madison squatted down and looked at Charlie, trying to find some clues.

However, Charlie was still wary of this lady he had just met. After looking at her for a moment, he suddenly ran out!

Madison was shocked, and she quickly got up to run after Charlie.

Fortunately, as soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Joe squatting on the ground with a plate in his hand. She did not have the time to chide Joe. She shouted, "Joe, stop him!"

On the other side, Samuel and Rosalie, who were attracted by the fragrance of the kitchen, appeared near the kitchen. When they saw Charlie in Joe's arms, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh my god! My little precious, where did you go? Everyone was trying so hard to find you!"

Rosalie hurriedly walked over and took Charlie from Joe's arms. She checked Charlie from head to toe, afraid that he might have hurt himself.

Gina, who was following behind, had tears in her eyes. "It's good that we found Charlie. I'm so afraid that Charlie will run out of the house. If he gets lost, I'll be in deep trouble!"

Charlie looked at the elderly ladies who had tears in their eyes. He was filled with guilt and did not know what to do.

"I'm sorry, Grandma, Gina. I didn't mean to hide and make you sad..."

He wrapped his chubby arms around Rosalie's neck and rubbed his head against her. "Charlie won't do this again. Grandma, don't cry anymore."

His father had told him that his grandmother was sick and that he had to make her happy often. Otherwise, her illness would get worse. Charlie wanted to make Rosalie happy.

"Grandma, the lady in the kitchen cooks very, very fragrant dishes. Let's go eat first, okay? Didn't you say that my aunt is coming back today? If my aunt sees you crying, she will definitely be sad, so Grandma, don't cry, okay?"

Charlie's childish voice made Madison who was behind him, laugh uncontrollably.

She was still wearing the apron that Gina had left behind in the kitchen. With her hands on her waist, she deliberately said angrily, "That's because you secretly ran out to make Grandma worry. Now you are using my dishes to make Grandma happy. That won't do."

The little fellow's face turned red. "B... But..."

"But what? Did I say anything wrong? Did you hide to make everyone worry? Did you use my cooking to coax your grandma?"

Madison squatted down in front of him again.

Charlie could not refute the rhetorical questions and could only remain silent.

Big tears welled up in his sparkling eyes, but he was so stubborn that he tried very hard not to let them roll down his cheeks. The sight of him made everyone's heart ache.

Rosalie's heart ached when she saw this. Just as she was about to carry Charlie over to coax him, Madison pulled Charlie in front of her.

"Charlie, if you feel wronged, just cry. Don't hold it in."

"But Daddy says that a man shouldn't cry." Charlie's voice choked as he started sobbing.

"Who says a man can't cry? You're still a baby."

Madison smiled gently at Charlie and hugged him tightly.

"If you want to cry, just cry. If you have any grievances, just let us know. It doesn't matter if you've suffered grievances. Charlie, you have to remember that you have your father's love, your grandma's care, and many relatives by your side to protect you. So don't ever do this to vent your grievances again, understand?"

As Madison's gentle voice fell, Charlie's tears finally fell uncontrollably.

At first, he sobbed. Then, he really could not control himself and cried louder and louder, like a newborn.

Madison gently pulled him into her arms and patted his back.

"Cry for a while. When you're done crying, you'll have to stop. A little man still has to be strong. However, Charlie did something wrong, so he still has to be chided, right?"

Charlie was still sobbing. He lay in Madison's arms and cried for a long time before getting up from her arms.

"I... I understand. I'm... I'm sorry."

"You shouldn't have said that to me." Madison took out a packet of wet tissues from her pocket and gently wiped his little face.

"I should... I should say sorry to Grandma and Gina."NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

His eyes were red as he put his arms around Madison's neck and looked back at Rosalie and Gina.

Perhaps feeling embarrassed for crying like this, Charlie quickly turned his head and buried it in Madison's shoulder.

He didn't know why, but he felt that this beautiful lady was especially amiable.

Her words made him feel less sad.

Even though she had made him cry.

Madison did not push him away and allowed him to hug her like this. She waited until his crying gradually stopped before she moved his arms away from her neck.

Charlie seemed to have sensed her thoughts. He immediately tightened his arms and stared at Madison with teary eyes.

Madison had no choice but to carry him up.

"Charlie, you didn't eat the food I gave you just now. You were so wary of me. Now, you're hugging me so tightly and not letting me go?"

Charlie pursed his lips and did not answer her. He leaned against her head affectionately.

This scene made Rosalie and Gina's hearts melt.

It was said that a young child was usually very mischievous, but Charlie had always been obedient since he was young. He was very sensible too. Sometimes, the adults wanted to see if he would get into trouble or not.

Seeing him like this made everyone feel relieved.

A smile appeared on Rosalie's face. Just as she was about to invite everyone to eat some fruits and wait for John and the others to return before eating, she was suddenly shocked by Charlie's words that she stood rooted to the ground.

Charlie's head was still on Madison's shoulder. He looked aggrieved.

"Can you be my mother?"
