Hunting for His EX-Wife

“I love Daddy the most!”

After Leah finished speaking, she planted a “wet kiss” right on Elliot’s handsome face.

After he felt the warmth on his right cheek, Elliot’s eyes gradually darkened and his heart softened.

Just now, he didn’t know why. When he heard the little girl call him “Daddy”, he instinctively walked over and picked her up.

Does he soften his heart just because her face looks like his own?

Elliot’s voice softened unconsciously as well when he spoke, “Good girl.”

When Madeleine saw this scene, her pupils shrank suddenly and she clenched her hand tightly into a fist at her side.

Why was Elliot treating this little girl so differently?

Who exactly was this little girl?

She actually called him “Daddy”!

“Elliot, who is this little girl?” Madeleine couldn’t help but ask.

Elliot turned with the little girl in his arms and looked at her coldly.

“It’s none of your business, I don’t need to explain these things to you.”

Upon hearing these words, Madeleine furrowed her brows and slightly parted her red lips, “Elliot, I…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Elliot interrupted her with a cold voice.

“Madeleine, you are just Shawn Harper’s mother. You better not forget your own identity.”

The woman’s eyes were filled with a sense of unwillingness, but the angry expression on her pretty face eventually softened a bit.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Yes, she is Shawn’s mommy, and this is her trump card!

The hand by her side tightened, and after a while, Madeleine spoke softly, “Shawn hasn’t seen you for a long time, and he’s been sick lately. He keeps mentioning you.”

After a moment of silence, Elliot said indifferently, “I will find time to go see him. You can leave now.”

Madeleine choked on her breath. Her previously slightly relieved expression turned incredibly sour once again.

At that moment, Leah, who was being held by Elliot, raised the corners of her mouth and mischievously made a face at Madeleine.

‘Bad woman, how dare you bully Mommy? Now you’re getting your just deserts!’

Madeleine saw this scene and her anger grew even stronger.

This little brat! When the opportunity arose, she would definitely kill this little brat!

Madeleine’s hand, which was placed by her side, clenched again. It took a while for her to maintain a calm appearance on the surface.

She stared stiffly at the man standing in front of her, and with parted red lips, she said, “Then I’ll go first.”

Madeleine had just left when Leah, who was being held by Elliot, suddenly changed her demeanor. She looked at her scumbag dad with disgust and didn’t hold back in her criticism.

“Your taste is terrible. How could you be attracted to such an ugly woman?”

Elliot glanced at the little girl and raised his eyebrows in surprise at how quickly she changed. At this moment, he felt that the soft and cute girl from before was more adorable.

Leah didn’t hear what her scumbag dad said nor did she care. She lifted her chin arrogantly and said another sentence.

“She’s so ugly that she’s not even one-tenth as pretty as my mommy.”

When Elliot heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly with a hint of darkness as he looked at the little girl.

“Where are your mommy and daddy?”

The little girl stared fixedly at her scumbag dad and pretended to be sad as she answered, “My daddy died.”

This scumbag had no idea that his wife was still alive and had given birth to their three children. Therefore, Leah couldn’t let him know that she was his daughter.

Elliot pursed his lips before asking another question. “What about your mommy?”

“Hmph! I’m not telling you.”

The little girl pouted, then turned away without saying anything else. She wouldn’t reveal any information about her mommy!

Leah’s eyes rolled over before she spoke seriously, “Put me down.”

Elliot frowned slightly but ultimately didn’t say anything else; he put the little girl back on the bed then left shortly after. Not long after Elliot left, a maid came into Leah’s room in the villa.

The maid put on a friendly smile while looking kindly at Leah who sat obediently on the bed.

“Little missy, would you like Auntie to help you sleep tonight?”

“No,” replied Leah coldly while continuing to flip through books taken from a nearby bookshelf casually.

The maid hesitated for a moment but continued persuading gently, “It’s getting late now; I can tell you bedtime stories if you lie down obediently in bed. Would that be okay?”

“No,” replied Leah bluntly, then jumped off of the bed before leaving without another word

The maid immediately followed anxiously while saying worriedly, “Little missy! Where are you going? You can’t wander around here!”

“I’m going to find my daddy.”

Leah frowned unhappily, quickly freeing herself from the servant’s grasp and running towards Elliot’s study.

She wasn’t going to sleep peacefully tonight.

She came here to cause trouble for her scumbag dad!

She had already thought of how to deal with him!

A man as rich as her scumbag dad would definitely not do anything, let alone make milk!

Leah ran to the door of the study with a wicked sense of humor, only to see her scumbag dad staring at a photo on his desk with a melancholy expression.

There was a goblet on his desk, and he was drinking red wine while staring at the photo in a daze.

His face was somewhat dark, and his narrow eyes were full of gloominess.

Leah walked into the study with some confusion, wanting to see whose photo her scumbag dad was looking at.

After a moment, she finally saw who it was in the picture – that smiling woman wasn’t anyone else but her mommy.

Leah covered up her shock and pretended to be puzzled as she asked, “Who is this?”

“This is my wife,” Elliot said in a low voice.

After he finished speaking, he tightened his grip on the wine glass and drank all of it directlywithout hesitation.

Seeing this scene made Leah feel moved inside. She suppressed these feelings within herself before asking again, “Aren’t you supposed to marry someone else?”

What an asshole! He was about get married yet still acted like he had deep feelings for Mommy? Leah thought angrily.

Elliot seemed unaware of Leah’s strange look; instead picking up the picture on the desk, gently rubbing it with his fingers. His deep gaze fixed onto that woman’s face in sorrowful reverence before saying solemnly, “No one can replace her.”

Leah stood there stunned for several moments before regaining composure, looking confusedly towards Elliot who sat behind his desk.

“Do you like her?” she asked curiously.

Elliot chuckled bitterly, then slowly closed his eyes and answered painfully.

“What if I do? Would she come back?”
