Chapter 192
The Remorseful Brothers
Chapter 192 In the capital. Madeline wake up at 8 pm to a quiet winter night. She stretched lazily, feeling warm and comfortable all over. The hot water boule in the bed had long lost in warmth, but someone had taken it out and placed it on the bedside table.
She went downstairs and save Caleb and Lucas shring on the couch.
Calebâs face was cold and expressionless. But Eugene, on the other hand, was gently smiling, resting his chin on his hand. His affectionate eyes quickly fell on Madeline, and he said, âMaddie, I left you some mushroom soup to replenish your energy.
âMrs. Ziegler, bring some mushroom soup for Maddie.â He commanded Calebâs housekeeper naturally, not treating himself as an outsider at all Madeline walked over and noticed the two sitting far apart. She cleared her throat and sat between them. Good jobâ She silently gave herself a thumbsâup for her survival instincts.
However, Caleb and Lucas didnât let her off the hook. She knew the real test had just begun when she heard Caleb say, âMaddie, here are two gifts for you just choose the one you like.â
Only then did Madeline see that there were two boxes on the table, which seemed to be ring boxes.
She instantly became alert. âCaleb. Itâs not a holiday today. Why are you giving me a gift? How about giving it to me next time?
You all have been so good to me. Iâll feel guilty accepting more gifts.â
Eugene propped his chin on his hand and said gently. Itâs okay. Itâs not anything valuable, just a little trinket. Just pick the one you like. No need to feel any pressure.â
Seeing Calebâs cold look on her left and Eugeneâs cunning smile on her right, Madeline took a deep breath and turned to Sarah âThe mushroom soup smells good. Iâm so hungry. Could you get me some side dishes?â she asked.
She rubbed her belly and walked toward the dining table, murmuring, âWhatâs for dinner tonight? Is there anything I like!â
Sarah felt uneasy, thinking. âMs. Larson, youâre putting me in a tough spot by using me as a shield.
Fortunately, Caleb and Eugene didnât follow Madeline to the dining table. Sarah soon brought all the food on the table.
The weather was cold, and Madeline was indeed hungry at that moment. After having a few anouthfuls of mushroom soup, she got distracted and started playing with her phone.
Then, she saw several messages from Gavin, saying: Iâm telling you, stay away from Eugene. He is not a decent person.
[He is a shameless and unreasonable man. My dear Maddie, donât fall into his trap.||
[Forget it. Iâll book a flight and come over, too. Otherwise, this rascal will definitely play tricks on you. Heâs such a schemer!]
-Looking at the message, Madeline could already think of Gavinâs expression when he sent it. She smiled and texted him back (1 donât think so.
Caleb and Lucas are here already.]
Gavin replied immediately. The strongest relationship in the world is a triangle, so as long as I come here, three people will be very peaceful. Trust me!]
Madeline shook her head and didnât reply. She put her phone aside and began to eat attentively. After the meal, she still had to face a choice..
She tugged at her collar and touched her neck. Look, does it look good? I was tired of wearing the same necklace. Now I have a new one. Isnât it a good idea?â
Madeline grinned, thinking both diamond rings were beautiful and perfect to make them a pendant.
Madeline said sincerely. âDonât you all praise my necklace?â
Eugene smiled binerly and rubbed his temples. âMy beloved Madeline, it shouldnât be like that. But...â He paused slightly. âSince you like to wear it in such a way. Iâll approve it as you wishâ He smiled recklessly and looked extraordinarily handsome. âAfter all you are the head of our family.â
Caleb nearly crushed the glass in his hand. He thought, Cavin was absolutely right. This man is such a shameless sweetâtalker.
Heâs indeed a tough character He had never expected Eugene to dare to pretend to be a virtuous gentleman in front of Madeline, utterly unscrupulous. With a cracking sound, the glass in his hand split.
However, Calch didnât seem to notice it. He looked indifferent and said, âMadeline, make sure you lock the door before bed tonight. Donât let others.
10 40 AM Chapter 192 take advantage of it. Not everyone is as innocents G Then, he wiped the coffee on his hands with a tissue and went upstairs to the bedroom.
Eugene sat on the couch with a fan smile, holding the remote control âMadeline, watch TV with me tonight. Do you asked, a hint of scheming in his eyes.
Madeline immediately knew why he wanted to watch horror movies. So she replied firmly, âNo, thank you.â
like horror movied?â he But Eugene smoothly stood up and placed his hand on Madelineâs shoulder to stop her. âThen, letâs pick a movie together. You can watch whatever you want. Youâve been sleeping all afternoon. You canât be sleepy now, can you?â He narrowed his eyes and looked at her deeply. âYouâre not a sleepyhead, right Madeline couldnât stand his gentle tone and rubbed her arm. âNo, I need to take a shower.â
âLetâs go together?â Eugene said with a gesture.
Madeline pursed her lips and said solemnly. âNo! Lucas, youâre really a little indecent. You canât go on like this. You have to restrain yourself!â Madeline turned around and was about to leave.
âWait.â Eugene held her waist from behind and put his chin on her shoulder. He spoke softly in her ear, his deep voice causing her heart to flutter. âMaddie, Iâve decided to marry you long ago. Iâve been waiting for you for so many years. Iâm only indecent with you.â
till be He removed his hand from her waist, pulled her back to face hirm, and placed her hand on his chest. With a clear and carmest gaze, he said. âIII upset if you keep saying that.â
Madeline hesitated and responded, âI got it, Lucas.â
After Madeline left, Eugene smirked and leaned against the couch He touched his chin and muttered, âMaddie is still very defensive. It seems these tricks arenât enough for her. He squinted his eyes and lazily propped his cheek on his hand. âTsk. How can I catch the others off guard and win her over?â
He wasnât a decent man. H His
