Chapter 263
After noting it down, Madeleine didn’t say anything more to
Leona and just hung up the phone.
Roderick looked at her with concern.
“She didn’t say what she wanted?”
“No, she said she wanted to meet and talk. I’ll go see what it’s
about.”
Roderick reached out and grabbed Madeleine’s wrist, his
expression filled with deep worry.
“If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to. I’ll deal with her.”
This was exactly the kind of time when a husband should step
up for his wife.
Madeleine smiled knowingly.
“Ricki, it would have been so nice if you could have protected
me like this when we were little, like a big brother. I used to be
so envious of other people who had brothers.”

Roderick pressed his lips together.
Madeleine really hadn’t changed a bit. Whenever a topic came up that she didn’t want to continue, she would quickly change.
the subject.
But what did she just say?
Envious of others having a brother?
Roderick was a bit exasperated. “It’s not like I never protected
you, you just didn’t see it. Besides, I never wanted to be your
brother.”
Kevin, who had been listening to his parents talk the whole
time, finally understood these last few sentences.
He tugged on Madeleine’s sleeve with a serious expression.
“Mommy, Daddy can’t be your brother. If he was, you couldn’t
get married or have babies.”
As Kevin thought about it, a sense of panic inexplicably rose in
his heart.
If that were the case, would he even exist in this world?
Oh my goodness! That’s so scary.

Madeleine had found it funny at first, but then she looked at her
son and noticed his expression changing unpredictably.
Mother and son were on the same wavelength, and Madeleine
instantly guessed the reason for her son’s worried look.
She couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
The little guy really inherited a lot from her.
Leona had scheduled the meeting for the next afternoon. In the
morning, Madeleine went to her company.
After renting the office space, she had hired a construction
crew to do some simple renovations.
The industry the Mosley family was in before didn’t require a
large company; the main focus was on the factory. So now that
Madeleine had the storefront set up, she would face an
important task-
raising investment.
Although both Roderick and Rebecca had said they would do
everything in their power to help if Madeleine just asked.

But Madeleine didn’t want to.
What kind of startup relies on your husband and best friend?
Since she had decided to rebuild her family’s business with her
own two hands, she couldn’t just think about relying on others for everything.
After checking on the renovations for a while, she found a
random place to eat and went to the meeting spot with Leona
early.
They were meeting at a coffee shop. It wasn’t very crowded at
this time, so Madeleine took out her laptop and started writing
a letter of intent for investors.
“Sigh, when I was a kid, I used to be so jealous of the
professionals working on their laptops in cafes. Thinking back
now, I must have been out of my mind.”
Madeleine sighed, shook her head, and dove back into her work,
