Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 275

275–My Mother–In–Law

Madeline:

While I put the plates on the table, Baxter opened the door. He was still sleepy.

He quickly ran his hand through his hair, but when he opened the door, he became attentive, almost ready to face whatever danger was outside.

When the door swung open, I watched him step back and grunt. I had to move toward the couch to see what made him look so uncomfortable.

Right away, I understood why. Standing in front of him was none other than the High Grace, his mother, wearing a black gown and a crown with diamonds shining in it.

The metallic part of the crown also caught the light. She had her men behind her. Of course, she would not come to the rogue community without protection.

“Mother,” Baxter greeted her with a small bow.

She did not step in immediately. She stood in the doorway, watching her son and examining him from head to toe as if she could not believe he was in this state.

Her eyes then moved behind him toward me, and I watched her take a deep breath and clench her jaw.

“Come inside,” Baxter told her, stepping out of the way, and as he did, his eyes landed on me. He gestured to me with his hand to let me know that I did not have to stay here.

“Hello,” I said to his mother in greeting.

The only reason I was being polite was because I cared for her son. I was realizing how much I had once loved Baxter.

I was so in love that when I was told I couldn’t be with him, I convinced myself it had been a crush and that I had felt the same toward others.

And now that everything was clear and I understood Baxter had no fault in abandoning me, I no longer wanted to hide that I still loved him more than anything.

She only nodded her head before turning to look at her son. Then her eyes moved around the cabin again.

She passed a quick glance before her gaze landed on the food on the table.

She only peeked at it, almost as if checking what was there, and then she looked up at me again.

“You should not have come to the rogue community,” Since she was not speaking, Baxter decided to speak up.

“Why not? My son is here,” she commented, finally speaking

“I’m not a child anymore. I can take care of myself, Mother, but I would not want any harm to come your way,‘ Baxter told her.

I noticed how he barely met her eyes.

She had a composed posture with her elbows bent near her stomach, slightly pulled outward, while she held her hands like an elegant queen.

“And you do not ever wonder how a mother feels to think her son is in pain?” she asked him.

The way she stared at his face made me believe she wanted him to look her in the eyes.

“Mother, I made that decision myself, and I am very content with it. Trust me,” he stated.

This time, he finally looked at her and gave her eye contact.

“Just because you have food and shelter does not mean you are happy. Baxter, you had everything back at home, a crown, and so much respect,” she complained, and then her bitterness spilled. “And then this woman arrived.”

As soon as she said that, Baxter snapped his head toward her and faced her.

“I will not hear anything about my wife. If you have come here to disrespect her, then, Mother, I am sorry, we will not be talking.”

The way he did not let her say a word about me made me watch his mother’s eyes widen, but she composed herself quickly.

“And Madeline, you do not need to stand here and face the glares. If somebody does not like you, you have no responsibility to be nice to them either,” Baxter spoke to me without turning all the way toward me.

I understood that he did not like that I was standing there and getting ignored. /

I gave him a nod and then walked away to be in my children’s room. However, the door was left open, and I could still hear their conversation.

“I will be very honest with you. I have come here to get you. You do not need to stay here and take responsibility for someone else’s faults. It was Graham’s wish to marry her. And then Elgin stood up. Why did you have to ruin everything?” his mother continued, and at this point she made it clear why she was here.
