Silver:
My husband had been restless ever since Madeline came here and left. He had changed.
I mean, he already treated me terribly in front of everyone, but after Madeline’s visit, his behavior became different. He was very happy, as if he had gained some hidden power.
He got a new haircut and bought new clothes. He started paying more attention to himself in just a few hours of her leaving.
It was not just me who noticed. His mother noticed it too. She even told me that because of what I had done, her son had slipped out of all our hands.
That was when I saw Graham coming to our house. I mean, when accusations had been made about both my husband’s character and mine, Graham had disappeared.
Now, as soon as Madeline left, Graham returned. From the tone of his voice, I understood they were up to something again.
That was why I had already left a small window in their office slightly open.
When the two of them sat inside, I moved to the back of the house and stood near that window.
“Madeline herself had told me she was willing to give me a chance. The only issue is the children,” As soon as Elgin said this to Graham, cold sweat broke out over me. Anger surged through me.
The way she had acted in front of me. Now I was beginning to understand why these men lost their senses over her.
She did things behind everyone's backs. That was how they fell in love with her.
Then they made mistakes, and she was declared innocent.
Now the whole story was clear.
“So what is the issue with the children?” Graham asked Elgin.
I could see both their side profiles. I could also tell there was agitation in Graham’s body.
He kept shaking his leg. His hands rubbed together repeatedly.
“She asked me that if she gives me a chance and marries me, what will happen to her children?” Elgin began, and goosebumps rose on my skin.
So that bitch had come here pretending she cared about sick children. In reality, she was looking for a new husband for herself.
“Really?” Graham inquired, and there was a sharp note in his voice.
I did not know whether Elgin noticed it, but I could tell Graham was not pleased hearing this.
“Man, I messed up,” Elgin confessed. “You know Hailey and Hannah do not like Elara. They do not like Bodhi either. Right now the situation is so bad they do not even like me.”
He continued explaining. At least he remembered Hailey and Hannah.
“If I bring Elara and Bodhi here like this, the children will hate me even more. So I gave Madeline a very good suggestion.”
Elgin paused to lift his wine glass and clear his throat with a sip.
“What suggestion?” Graham asked him.
“I told her that for now Baxter’s parents can take care of the kids. Or when Baxter wakes up, she can hand them over to him. That is all I said, and she got so angry.”
He went on speaking, and my suspicion turned into certainty.
“I think she wants to start a complete family with me. Maybe she still does, but now she is upset with me.”
Oh wow. So she was still chasing them.
“I did not know she was so crazy about you,” Graham remarked.
“Honestly, I had no idea either,” Elgin replied. “Anyway, I will see what I can do to win her back. I will have to convince my children.”
