My Repentant Brothers (Madeline Larson) novel Chapter 350

Chapter 350 

The women’s intimate clothes on the drying rack stood out prominently. It was almost impossible for Madeline not to notice them. 

“I’m sleeping on the couch,” Loretta pointed to it, “Your room is off–limits, and so is Mr. Lewis’s and Mrs. Lewis’s room.” 

“Even though I’m here to help you all, the treatment here is just shy of sleeping on the floor,” Loretta laughed lightly, but her eyes showed no amusement. 

Gavin noticed the clothes on the drying rack and said, “Madeline, don’t get the wrong idea. She just came by last night. It was raining, and she got soaked, so I ordered some pajamas for her, didn’t touch your clothes.” 

Loretta stood beside Gavin, arms crossed, watching Madeline with a teasing smile. 

She wasn’t very tall, about five feet one inch, but her skin was fair, and her face was heart–shaped with gracefully arching willow–like eyebrows. Her long almond–shaped eyes added a touch of charm and allure. Her classical and elegant features looked great even with minimal makeup. 

“Gavin, are you henpecked now?” Loretta’s eyes sparkled as she playfully poked the baby in the cradle. “But as far as I know, Madeline is never short of men. What are you to her? Boyfriend? Or just one of her admirers? Are you just going to quietly stay here and take care of her child without asking about her life outside? That’s too generous.” 

Gavin’s smile disappeared as he said, “Loretta, don’t say things you shouldn’t say. You know whose child this is.” 

Of course, Loretta knew the child was an orphan left by a former colleague. She smiled slightly and said, “But wouldn’t it be better to send the child to an orphanage?” 

Madeline held the child, feeling the little fingers tugging at her hair. Her heart softened. “You don’t need to say these things here. Thomas and I are like siblings. I’m the one raising this child. If Thomas ever starts his own life, I won’t let the child be a burden to him. After all, it was my soft heart that made me keep the child. I know whose responsibility this is. As for whether the child should be sent to an orphanage, you, Ms. Larson, don’t need to worry about that. I have the means to raise a child to adulthood.” 

With that, Madeline took the child and went into her room. Gavin quickly followed, dragging his suitcase into Madeline’s room, eager to be near her. 

Loretta clenched her fists, her beautiful nails digging into the flesh of her palms. It hurt… 

Night fell. Loretta decided to stay after all. 

Madeline took a nap with the child, and when she woke up, the house was already filled with the delicious smell of food. She stepped out to find Loretta busy in the kitchen, wearing a soft white dress that made her look incredibly enchanting and charming. 

“You’re awake?” Loretta turned to Madeline. “Let’s serve the rice; we can eat now. Something came up for Gavin suddenly. He mentioned you’ve been working hard and told me not to wake you.” “There’s no need to be on guard around me. Just think of me as a housekeeper.” 

“Ms. Larson, you really know how to joke,” Madeline said awkwardly, managing a slight smile. She couldn’t quite understand how this beautiful woman could humble herself so easily. 

“I’m not joking. I’m a very traditional woman. You see…” Loretta placed the food on the table, her small silver earrings sparkling brightly. “I don’t mind being the second. I like Gavin. You’ll realize that sooner or later, and I’m not hiding it from you.” 

Loretta sat across from Madeline, a hint of helplessness in her almond–shaped eyes. “I know he likes you, but you’re not capable of being completely faithful, so taking my advice is the best for everyone involved.” 

“Ms. Larson, Madeline couldn’t help but interrupt Loretta, “The food you made looks really good, let’s eat it while it’s hot and not waste your effort.” 

Loretta smiled but said nothing. 

She picked up the serving spoon, placing a piece of eggplant on Madeline’s plate. “Before you got back, I had Gavin teach me

how to make it. It should taste just like you remember it. Eat more if you like it.” 

Madeline glanced at the food on her plate, “Thanks.” 

As the meal went on, Loretta didn’t eat much herself but kept adding food to Madeline’s plate, resting her chin on her hand with a cheerful look. Her eyes held a mysterious blend of indifference and interest, especially noticeable in the dim lighting. 

Madeline couldn’t deny it: Loretta was someone who really knew how to look after others. Still, she felt there was something strange about her… Can someone truly love another so completely that they accept everything about them, even their faults? Madeline didn’t think so. That’s why she was always cautious around Loretta. 

“You’ve just returned from the show, you must be tired. Go have a shower. I’ll look after the kid. Grace is probably hungry, 

too.” 

Madeline wanted to refuse, but the warm air was making her sleepy. She was indeed feeling quite drowsy. 

She propped herself up, “Grace isn’t awake yet. I’ll take care of things later. Let me take a shower first. Just leave the dishes here; I’ll wash them later.”
