Twin Cupids at Work: Daddy, Come Home! novel Chapter 258

The air felt heavy, like things could go south at any second. Josh shot Brady a look, hoping he’d pick up on it. Brady jumped in with a nervous laugh. “Come on, we can’t keep calling you Ms. Monroe. That just sounds awkward.”

“Yeah, totally,” Josh chimed in.

“Dr. Monroe works,” Madeline replied, glancing up at them. She didn’t even notice the man on the sofa, whose face was so dark it looked like a storm cloud.

Josh forced a smile, biting back a curse. What was wrong with him, bringing this up?

“Madeline. Just Madeline is fine, right?” he blurted out, trying to backtrack.

Julian and Madeline. That didn’t sound bad at all.

“Whatever.” As long as they didn’t call her ‘missus,’ she really didn’t care.

Julian’s voice cut through the room. “You two. Out.”

Josh and Brady glanced at Julian, who’s sitting on that black leather sofa like it was a throne made of bones. He looked every bit the villain, cold and dangerous.

“Alright, we’re going,” Josh said quickly. Truthfully, he wanted to drag Brady back to watch the drama unfold, but staying alive felt more important. They slipped out, leaving the room silent and thick with tension.
