Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 359

“And another thing.” Madeline kept her eyes locked on Julian. “If that day ever comes, I want you to let me and the kids go. I want your promise that you’ll never bother us again.”

Julian was never one to show his feelings, but right then, his face looked lost, almost confused.

The hospital room felt frozen, like even the air had stopped moving.

It took Julian a while before he finally spoke. “Alright. If that’s what you want.”

Madeline nodded, silent but firm. “I hope you mean it.”

Julian, when the truth comes out, you won’t even deserve to see us. You’re going to regret this for the rest of your life.

Even after Julian walked out, the coldness in the room refused to go away. It clung to everything, heavy and sharp.

Madeline turned away, tilting her head back, swallowing the tears that threatened to spill.

What’s the point of crying? He’s just not worth it.

“Madeline.” Brenda hurried in, her voice low but urgent.

She’d actually arrived a while ago, but hearing Madeline and Julian talking, she knew she shouldn’t interrupt, so she’d stayed in the hallway, waiting.

Now, she glanced around the room and spotted scattered papers on the floor. She bent down, picking them up, and her eyes widened when she read what was on them.

She glanced over at the sleeping child, lowering her voice even more. “Madeline, what is this? What’s going on?”

Madeline sniffed, took a second to pull herself together, then turned to face Brenda. “What brings you here?”

“I just wrapped up things at the office and wanted to check in on you.” Brenda walked closer, her face full of worry. “I heard everything from the doorway. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Madeline’s face had already settled back into her usual calm, unreadable look.

Madeline’s eyes grew darker.

According to Julian, only someone from the Grayson family could have gotten their hands on that report. And if anyone in the family had the nerve and authority to swap it, it would be Christian.

If Christian hadn’t come to see the kids tonight, she might not have been so sure. But him showing up was strange.

He had never liked her. There was no way he’d come just to visit her kids. Not unless he knew they were his grandchildren.

Besides, Christian hated her and definitely didn’t want her and Julian together. When Julian defended her earlier, Christian had looked furious, and not even half an hour later, that report had arrived.

All the evidence pointed in one direction. It had to be Christian.

Madeline laid it all out for Brenda, who clapped a hand over her mouth in shock. “Oh my god, Madeline. So what you’re saying is Christian wants the kids, but he doesn’t want you with Julian. So he’s planning to take them away from you?”
