Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 325

Madeline:

“Father, come on, please stop acting like a child.”

Baxter had gone into the room to get his father for dinner. I heard them argue back and forth, but Baxter kept his tone soft with him.

Of course, he wanted to keep things respectful. He eventually convinced his father to come out and stop acting that way.

His father came out, stared at me briefly, then sat beside his wife, who began serving him right away.

“I was thinking about going to the border of the Packs,” Baxter remarked as he started eating.

“For what?” his mother asked, fixing her eyes on him.

She always wanted him to look her in the eye, and I noticed he often avoided it. Not always, but most of the time, and I could tell why.

“It could be difficult,” Baxter replied. “But I found out from someone that they offer certain jobs there that would be helpful for us.”

He explained further, and I remembered it had been that same family who told us about it. He was right. Finding work and earning money would be good for us.

“Oh, Moon Goddess, please give me strength. Now my son will go and do cheap labor.”

As expected of Lady Eugenia, her reaction was harsh. I noticed that his father’s response would have been different.

I had seen him open his mouth with a small smile, almost proud of Baxter for working hard, until his mother spoke.

Then his father shook his head in disbelief.

“You’re right. That is unbelievable,” his father remarked, his tone changing. It was clear his reactions were shaped by his wife’s words.

“I think it’s fine,” I told them. “If he’s earning for his children, we should support him instead of making him feel bad.”

I quickly defended Baxter. He managed a small smile, but his mother scoffed.

“Of course you’d say that. He’s earning for you and your children. You found yourself a free worker,” she replied.

Her words made me clench my fists.

“You mean my children?” Baxter asked in a low, respectful tone. “What’s wrong with working hard for them?”

That was enough for his mother to grunt and look away.

“I was thinking that maybe I should work as well. It would be better to have more hands helping out,” then Yuvonne spoke up. She had been helpful the entire time.

Ron came by today for a few hours. He brought food and fresh vegetables.

He had done a lot, and I had been worried about him. I told him not to overdo it, but if he wanted to impress Yuvonne, I was not going to stop him. He was a good man, and he genuinely wanted to help us.

“All right, now you’ll work too,” Lady Eugenia commented. As expected, her words were sharp, but none of us reacted.

We finished our food and put the children to bed. Yuvonne went upstairs to her room, while Lady Eugenia took the room on the first floor, which had been meant for the children.

With everything going on, we decided to keep the children in our room instead.

Baxter and I shared a single bed, where we curled up together almost every night.

Once I put the children to bed, I stepped into the bathroom to shower. When I came out wearing a white silk cami and lace-trimmed silk shorts, I caught Baxter smiling at me.
