Twin Cupids at Work: Daddy, Come Home! novel Chapter 245

“You didn’t go home last night?”

“Just got here.” The truth was, he never left. “Go wash up and then have some breakfast.”

Madeline just stood there, staring at him like she was trying to figure out if he was real.

Julian set down what he was doing and looked back at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Oh, nothing, I just zoned out for a second.”

She climbed out of bed, slipped on her shoes, and went to wash up. When she came back, Julian had already set breakfast on the table.

“Eat up.”

“Okay.” Madeline nodded, quieter than usual. She picked up her spoon and started on her soup, but her mind was clearly somewhere else.

Julian seemed… different. She couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

He wasn’t acting like a jerk for once.

He was actually being kind. Taking care of her. Right here in this room.

She’d spent three years as his wife and never got this kind of treatment.

Why was he doing this now?

Madeline snuck a glance at him, but their eyes met. She quickly looked away and buried herself in her soup.

“Madeline.”

His voice, low and smooth, came from across the table.

“Yeah?”

“What are you doing?”

“Eating breakfast,” she said, clearing her throat. She grabbed a small donut and held it up politely. “Did you eat yet? If not, you can have some.” After all, he was the one who bought it.

Sitting there eating by herself while he watched made her feel awkward.

Julian sat down across from her, quiet as ever. “I already had breakfast.”

“Oh, okay.”

Silence.
