Hunting for His EX-Wife

The banquet hall of Harper Grand Villa was decorated in a luxurious Baroque style. Madeleine wore a trailing wedding dress, with diamond embellishments on the hem, looking as beautiful as a mermaid princess. Her delicate makeup highlighted her shy and gentle demeanor as a bride-to-be. At this moment, she eagerly looked towards the entrance.

Soon enough, Elliot’s handsome figure appeared in Madeleine’s sight. She smiled and waved at him, thinking it was her most beautiful smile.

“Elliot, I’m here!” she called out to him.

Elliot’s face remained cold as he walked towards Madeleine with patience. She immediately took his arm affectionately.

“Elliot, you arrived just in time for the wedding,” she said.

Ignoring her words completely, Elliot asked coldly,”What about the child? Wasn’t he sick?”

Madeleine avoided his sharp gaze and didn’t answer his question directly.”Elliot, the wedding is about to start. Let’s get married first, and then we can go see Shawn together.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Madeleine signaled to the emcee standing beside them to start the ceremony quickly. Elliot looked displeased when he saw that Madeleine had taken hold of his hand. He seemed like he wanted to flare up, but before he could say anything, the emcee began speaking loudly on stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure you’ve been waiting for this moment for quite some time now. So, I hereby announce that the wedding has officially begun!”

The guests below burst into enthusiastic applause. Madeleine secretly gave an eye signal to the emcee, telling him to skip straight ahead into the most important part. She knew that Elliot didn’t have much patience left. They had to be quick enough!

As long as they completed their marriage ceremony in front of everyone, she would become Mrs. Harper from now on, and enjoy all its wealth and glory…

The emcee understood what she meant. He turned around directly towards Elliot. “Mr. Elliot Harper, may I ask if you are willing to marry Miss Madeleine Fox to be your wife?”

Elliot narrowed his eyes, his lips slightly parted. As he was about to say “Of course not”, all lights went off suddenly.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

The grand venue plunged into complete darkness instantly! Meanwhile, in the control room behind-the-scenes, a smirk appeared on Sean’s lips when he switched off the main power supply. ‘Scumbag dad, you wanna marry someone else? No way.’

Meanwhile, Leah, who had been lurking in the shadows, saw the lights go off and quickly wiped the onion she had in her hand against her little face.

Then, with tear-streaked cheeks, she rushed toward the stage and threw herself around Elliot’s leg.

“Daddy!”

With her shout, the previously noisy atmosphere fell into a dead silence.

In the next moment, the girl continued to sob, her voice heartbreaking. “Daddy, why don’t you want me and Mommy anymore? Daddy, you’re so heartless! Why are you treating us like this?”

The lights were quickly repaired, and the scene regained its brightness. The adorable face of the girl, like a beloved Barbie doll, instantly caught everyone’s attention.

Her large eyes were brimming with tears, ready to fall, and they were incredibly pitiable. Her continuous accusations piqued the curiosity of everyone present.

“Daddy, why are you marrying this bad woman? Do you really not want me and Mommy anymore?”

And the woman she referred to as the “bad woman”, Madeleine, upon seeing the girl’s brows and eyes that bore a strong resemblance to Elliot’s, felt a shock!

Who was this little troublemaker?!

But regardless of who she was, Madeleine now just wanted to rush over and give this kid who disrupted her wedding a good scolding.

However, before she could make a move, she saw Elliot beside her extend his hand, lifting up the little one who was crying, her nose and cheeks running with snot and tears. He cradled her in his arms.

“Stop crying.”

From Madeleine’s perspective, she couldn’t make out Elliot’s expression clearly. She only saw him pick up the little girl as if carrying a kitten, and he strode away from the spot.

He left her with four cold words. “The wedding is canceled.”

As Madeleine watched the man’s departing figure, her heart raced in panic. She lifted her foot, intending to chase after him. But due to her excessive anxiety, she accidentally stepped on her wedding dress’s train and tumbled heavily onto the red carpet!

“Elliot! Don’t go!”

Madeleine’s unwilling voice echoed through the wedding scene.

Unaware that her wedding dress now bore a sizable tear, Madeleine lay sprawled on the ground, her attire disheveled. The guests looked on with a variety of expressions, pointing and whispering among themselves.

After leaving the wedding scene, Elliot lowered his head and glared at the child in his arms, his expression dark.

He didn’t know where this child had come from, but since she had managed to disrupt his ridiculous wedding with Madeleine, she had inadvertently done him a favor.

Tears still clung to Leah’s face as she gazed up at her father, her eyes full of pity.

“Daddy, where are you taking me?”

Ignoring her inexplicable address, Elliot stared at the pitiful little girl before him, his tone heavy with annoyance. “Quit the act. Tell me, who sent you?”
