152–Reunited With My Children
Madeline:
“Elgin, what was that supposed to be?” I asked, turning to face him.
We had driven to an abandoned road, parked our cars, and stepped out to talk.
Two of my children stayed inside Baxter’s car, playing songs or games on their tablets.
I could tell my kids were still not opening up to Elara. That was why we had seated her in Elgin’s car. I hated it, but it was necessary for now.
I could not force them to stop being afraid.
“What? I helped you,” Elgin replied, scoffing in disbelief.
“You need to step forward. Do you not have a wife, Elgin?” Graham hissed, lightly tapping his chest with the back of his hand.
“You know the conditions under which I married Silver. There has been nothing between us,” Elgin retorted, planting his hands on his waist and glaring at Graham for always reminding him of his marriage. “And if anything, you should be the one to stop chasing Madeline. You got married, you were happy, even ready to have children. But now suddenly you want Madeline back? And you are the one reminding me that I am married?”
Elgin finally pushed back, and I faced Graham. This was the first time I had him without his father nearby.
“And you ruined everything for her. You caused her so much humiliation,” Baxter spoke, holding Graham accountable while Graham stared at us as if we were speaking nonsense.
“You two have no right to tell me who or what I ruined. It is between me and Madeline,” Graham remarked to the two friends who had been trying to make him acknowledge the truth.
“Well then, I am telling you that you ruined everything for me, Graham,” I replied, finally taking a stand for myself. He had truly done me wrong.
“Well, you heard her, right?” Elgin remarked to him.
“Why are you acting like I am at fault? I told you I was going to do it. You did not stop me then. Now suddenly you are telling me I made a mistake and that I am a disgusting person?” Graham snapped at Elgin.
“Oh, so you knew about it? That is why when I called you, you were so cold toward me. And then you appeared out of nowhere, quickly claiming we were mates so there would be no space for anyone else to step in. Because if more than one person claimed to be my mate, I would be seen as a freak, and I would fear losing my children by revealing my identity,” I spoke to Elgin harshly as everything began to make sense.
His arrival before the others had been planned. His admission that we were mates was only to block their chances.
I was not going to accept Graham anyway. As I said it all, my eyes shifted to Baxter.
Even if he was the better choice among them, he had not once spoken about wanting to be with me again.
He had admitted he had a crush on me in the past, but now he was in love with my sister.
He was even planning to get engaged to her in less than a week.
“Anyway, I am just going to go home and rest. I do not have the strength to argue with any of you, especially you, Graham.” After explaining everything and making up my mind, I pointed at Graham, who scrunched his eyebrows.

“You really do not see my love or my stubbornness for you, do you?” he remarked, making me slap my forehead so hard that all of them looked concerned.
“Okay, fine. I understand. I messed up,” he admitted quickly, realizing he was pushing me to the edge and driving me out of my mind. “I did not expect things to get this wild. I just thought you would accept my offer.”
He continued speaking, but I raised my palm and began to walk toward Elgin’s car.
Elgin wore a smug grin as he moved to the car and turned to look at the others.
I already knew what he was doing. He wanted them to see that I would end up riding in his car.
However, I opened the backseat door and lifted Elara out.
“What are you doing?” Elgin complained.
“I will go home with Baxter.”
