Chapter 38
Easton couldn’t believe Madelyn could be so indifferent. She used to hate oppressive pricks, and even more so after Andrew forced her into marriage. However, it seemed her stance had changed, for she truly did not care about what happened to the man who snapped their photos.
“Darling, you’re late. Have you eaten? Shall I reheat some food for you?” Madelyn asked warmly.
“Thanks, darling, but I’m good.” Andrew scooped her up in his arms. before swiveling to fix his icy gaze on Easton. Even from this distance, Easton could feel the danger closing in on him.
As Andrew walked past Easton with Madelyn in his arms, Easton could feel the predatory dominance rolling off Andrew. It was out of primal fear and submission that he lowered his head. “Uncle Andrew.”
Andrew stopped in his tracks to look at Easton. His voice was hard and unyielding as he said, “I want you to move out and stay somewhere else for the next few days.”
“As you wish,” Easton replied, nodding out of deference.
Seeing this, Madelyn couldn’t help scoffing. What a loser. She must have been an idiot in her previous life to think a pathetic coward like Easton could stand his ground before Andrew. The man dared not even breathe in her husband’s presence, much less speak up against him.
Andrew carried Madelyn past the living room. Grace was helping Athena up the stairs when they spotted the sweet couple. They quickly tried to turn away as if to blend into the wall and furniture. Madelyn grew flustered when she saw Grace and Athena turning away from them to afford them some privacy. She clutched the front
of Andrew’s shirt and asked, “Darling we’re at the Miller résidence now. Can you be a little less… handsy?”
“Do you like it?” he countered.
“Yes.” She wasn’t about to lie and tell him no.
A smile tugged on Andrew’s lips as he carried her into the bedroom.
Seeing how lovey–dovey they were, Athena couldn’t help musing, “It’s so nice to be young and in love.”
