Chapter 159
The One He Claimed
Chapter 159 Pampered and Loved
Liam lowered his head as his heart tightened. âYes, sir. I swear I wonât speak anything of you to Young Master Logan.â
Luke and Logan were close brothers, and Logan was probably the only one who could get Luke to listen to him.
If Luke hadnât given Liam any special orders, he would have to answer once Logan asked him any questions. However, now that Luke had told him not to reveal anything, he would be completely silent when faced with Logan.
If not, he would be disobeying his master.Têxt belongs to .
Luke frowned a little. âItâs not that you canât tell him anything; itâs just that you canât say anything about Madeline Taylor to Logan. If it were any other matter, you can just tell him what he wants to know, alright?â
Liam went silent for a while. Then, he lowered his head and answered respectfully, âYes, sir. Understood.â
Luke waved his hand, and Liam left the room as he sighed.
Madelineâ¦
It had been a long while since Luke last mentioned this name, so why did he suddenly remember her name today?
Meanwhile at Dusktown, Michael and Crystal still felt sorry for their daughter whenever they saw Madeline even though they were glad to see Cameron get the punishment she deserved. They thought she had been through too much and was too pitiful, and along with those thoughts, they also felt that it was illogical and unforgivable for Angie to hate Madeline so much.
Crystal was so furious that when she returned to their other home, she called up her four sons and also her adopted son, who was away on a business trip. She ordered them to cut off all ties with Angie and prohibited them from giving her any form of help, be it monetary or otherwise.
In particular, she gave Cedric extra stern orders.
She told her sons about Angieâs hatred for Madeline, and while she spoke, her elegant face was flushed red in anger.
She couldnât calm herself down.
Jonathan and his brothers feared that their mother would jeopardize her own health if she kept her anger going, so they all agreed.
After that, Cedric received some extra attention from his brothers.
Jonathan and the others all called him up to warn him, telling him to stay conscious and cease any contact with Angie. If not, they would deal with him personally.
With all the reprimands raining on him, Cedric had to repeat time and again that he had changed.
He really had changed!
Now, he hated Angie more than anyone.
He used to say that Angie was innocent, and he believed that she was a kind and understanding girl.
In order to protect Angie, he had enraged his dear mother so much that she was sent to the hospital and almost died. However, Angie plotted against Nicholas and slept with him, ruining the marriage Nicholas had finally gotten after pursuing it for so long. Cedric realized that he couldnât have been more wrong.
How could he still have any forms of love toward Angie?
He wasnât a fool!
However, he was exactly a fool in the eyes of his parents and elder brothers right now. His parents and brothers had nagged at him in turns, and they really saw him as an idiot.
He was reprimanded so much that he thought he would die.
When his parents and brothers were all done calling him up, he slumped in his chair and held his head between his hands, screaming as he vented his frustration.
He swore that if he were even the tiniest bit friendly toward Angie in the future, he would consider himself a pig!
After Madeline had lunch with her two children, Sebastian came to pick her up.
Michael and Crystal were quite upset.
When Crystal heard the butler announce that Sebastian was here, she frowned in a dissatisfied manner. âYou only brought the children over for one day, and they havenât been here long enough. What is he in a hurry for?â
Madeline knew that Sebastian was here to take her to Graysonâs hospital, for he wanted to treat the scars on her back.
However, she was afraid that if she said that, her parents would be in a worse mood.
Her dad was just a little tired,but her mom had heart problems. She had been angered and exhausted recently, so her complexion was already terrible.
She could feel that her parents truly loved her, and she felt the same toward them. She felt her heart aching for them as she attempted to cover the truth. âSebastian is taking me to pick a school for Aldo and Buddy. Weâre taking them to school next Monday since itâs about time for them to be schooled.â
In truth, Philip had already decided on a school, which was an elite primary school not far from the Hart Residence.
Even though the children were only five years old, they were quite brilliant, and she had also taught them many things. Philip thought that the children could very well attend first grade classes already.
As such, Aldo and Buddy would be first graders from next Monday onward.
âOh, I see.â Upon hearing that it was proper business, Crystal relaxed her expression. âGo ahead, then. Pick a good school for Aldo and Buddy⦠When youâve decided on a school, we can donate a building or something so that the teachers will take good care of Aldo and Buddy.â
Michael and Crystal loved their two beautiful and obedient grandsons to bits. Now, the childrenâs positions in Michael and Crystalâs heart was way higher than Jonathan and the others.
When she heard that her grandsons would be going to school next Monday, Crystal was extra worried. There would be many people in the school, and parents wouldnât be allowed to go with their children. What if someone bullied her darlings?
Madeline said, âDonât worry, mom. Aldo and Buddy will definitely land in the same class. If theyâre together, they can look out for each other, so you donât have to donate anything to the school.â
âWeâll talk when youâve decided on a school.â Crystal took the children from her. âDonât let the children run around with you. They can nap here, and you and Sebastian can come back for them after youâre done.â
Madeline was speechless.
After all, Philip was waiting for the children to come home so that he could take a nap with them.
When she saw Crystal holding the children with such longing on her face, Madeline couldnât bear to say no to her.
After all, Aldo and Buddy would return to the Hart Residence at night, so Philip would be able to see them then. Now, Madeline decided to let Aldo and Buddy accompany her parents for a while longer.
Madeline let Aldo and Buddy stay at the Wendelsâ other home. Then, she left alone with Sebastian.
The latter was waiting for her at the door since he didnât go in.
If he did, they would have to catch up on each other, and it would be a long time before they could leave.
He waited for some time outside, and when he saw Madeline emerging all alone, he peered behind her. âWhereâs Aldo and Buddy?â
Madeline explained, âMy parents couldnât bear to part with Aldo and Buddy, and they wanted to take a nap with them. Letâs fetch them after weâre done.â
Sebastian frowned. âWhen are they going back to Wendel City?â
When they returned to Wendel City, they wouldnât be able to hog his sons anymore.
Even though it had only been half a day since he last saw them, he had begun to miss his sons.
If he had known this earlier, he wouldâve taken the trouble to go in.
If he did, he could definitely bring his sons out.
Madeline was speechless.
Was it really okay for him to regard her parents with such disdain right in front of her?
Still, she didnât dare imagine that she, Aldo, and Buddy would be so pampered and loved that people would scramble to give them love in the past.
She was especially happy for her darlings.
In fact, she was gentle toward those who treated her and her sons well. She smiled as she coaxed Sebastian, âWe can bring Aldo and Buddy home after weâre done with our business, alright?â
