Twin Cupids at Work: Daddy, Come Home! novel Chapter 281

“You’re staying here tonight. Tomorrow, I’m taking you for a checkup,” Julian said, his voice so firm there was no point in arguing.

Madeline let out a long sigh. “Why are you so determined to have me checked out?”

“I have my reasons. It’s just a checkup. No one’s sending you to your doom. Why are you acting so nervous? Or is there something about your health you’re trying to hide?”

Madeline’s eyes flickered for a second.

Julian’s gaze never left her. His eyes were dark and impossible to read, so intense that she felt exposed under his stare.

She tried to play it cool, forcing a smile. “What could I possibly be hiding? I just hate how you always try to control everything I do.”

“It’s for your own good.”

Madeline let out a short, cold laugh. “You always say that.” Deep down, she knew he just couldn’t stand anyone keeping secrets from him. He had to know everything, so he dressed it up as concern. It was so ridiculous.

Julian’s expression turned colder. “Tell me what happened tonight with the pool.”

“What do you want to hear?” Madeline shot back. She was sure Helene had already told him her side of the story.

She glanced at the doorway and spotted Helene still standing there, hovering like she was afraid Madeline might say something to Julian that could ruin her.

Madeline couldn’t help but laugh quietly. “So, what did Helene tell you? That I pulled her into the water?”

Julian stayed silent.
