At that, Luke stated, "I want the three of us to stay close together so that I can see you every day, nomatter what our relationship is."
Staring at her for a moment, he then added, "If you happen to love me and are willing to marry me, Iwill do so gladly. I'm happy with you being either my wife or my sister."
With a heavy heart, Madeline murmured, "I am not marrying you. Aldo and Buddy are Sebastian's sonsand they need their father. As long as he doesn't plan to divorce me, I will never be the first one todeclare a divorce."
"Let us be siblings, then." Luke didn't have a strong opinion on this matter. "I've been diagnosed with amental problem, anyway. The books state that mental illness is hereditary. I have been worried that ourchild will inherit this problem from me after we get married but now, I don't have to worry about ourchild's health and can avoid making you sad if we are not married to each other."
"What are you talking about?" To stop him from thinking lowly of himself, Madeline interrupted, "There'snothing wrong with your mind. You are just getting out from your hardship and a lot is going on in yourmind now. Your condition is not genetic and will not be passed along to your offspring."
"Nobody is certain about that." Luke shrugged her off. "After all, my wife will be no one but you. I willnot marry just anyone to have a child with a mental problem. If so, not only have I wronged them, Iwould always be concerned about their well-being and worrying about their health."
Upon hearing that, Madeline mumbled, "You're like a brother to me. Even if it wasn't Sebastian, it wouldnot be you either."
"A brother?" Raising his eyebrows, Luke asked with a hint of interest, "Now that you have met your realbrothers, who are you going to choose? Them, or Logan and I?"
Without any hesitation, Madeline answered resolutely, "I am closer to Logan and you, for sure."
The Adams brothers and her had been depending on each other for almost ten years. They were theonly ones who took care of her when she was seriously ill and thought she was on her deathbed; theywere the only ones who genuinely treated her with kindness before she found her origin.
To Madeline, the only link between the Wendel brothers and her was built on their blood connectionand her appreciation of their capability, nothing more. The Adams brothers were the ones who shared astronger bond with her.At that, Luke stated, "I want the three of us to stay close together so that I can see you every day, nomatter what our relationship is."
As she sorted out her relationships, a thought occurred to her. At this moment, she could finallyunderstand the reason behind Cedric's defense of Angie.
If Angie had behaved herself, there was no way the Wendel Family would have severed ties with hereasily.
The Wendels' decision was only temporary and not directed at Angie. It was merely out of their hatredtoward Cameron and an act of impulsion upon learning the truth.
Once they had overcome the feelings and thought about the time they had lived together, it was notimpossible for Angie to return to the Wendel Family.
However, Angie was desperate to return to her old life. In looking for a guy whom she could takeadvantage of, she plotted against Nicholas, who once considered her as family. By doing so, theWendel Family learned about her true nature and isolated her.
Madeline's answer brought a smile to Luke's face and he ruffled her hair with force. "Maddie, since Ihave apologized, promise me that you will forgive me and remember only my good deeds."
Needless to say, she had already forgiven him after listening to his tragic story. Feeling sorry for him,she nodded at his request. "Of course. As long as you promise to behave from now on, I'll pretendnothing happened."
"What a good girl you are!" Once again, he ruffled her hair, a trace of blooming happiness on his face.
"Luke, you haven't finished your story." Madeline then inquired, "I heard there were rumors that theb*stard actually isn't your father's biological son."
"You bet!" He gloated over the fact when her question reminded him of something. "My father hadalways thought his only true love was loyal to him. Even though he failed to marry her, she stillmanaged to withstand all the hardships and gave birth to his child. After my uncle returned to thecountry, he initiated an investigation on the b*stard child, and my father was unaware of it. The resultsshow that the b*stard's biological father is not my father, but another man. As my uncle thought that wewere at an advantage, he asked me and Logan to return to the country."
"He got his karma coming!" Satisfied to hear Luke's father getting what he deserved, Madeline couldn'twait to hear the rest of the story. "I assume learning the truth drove him mad?"
"Of course." The smile on Luke's face grew. "My uncle was happy about that too. My father may be aloser, but the Adams Family is the most prestigious and wealthiest family in Capitol, while my mother'sfamily's influence has declined. My uncle met his wife abroad, and her family is the richest of the locals,but they hold no influence over Capitol. Having her as our only ally, we would have probably taken alonger time to overthrow my father from his position of power. However, knowing that the b*stard is notmy father's son, his mistress and the b*stard were defeated on the spot when they lost the bargainingchip to win his heart."
She nodded. "Regardless of his love for your stepmother, there is no way a man will raise anotherman's child without holding a grudge. Learning the truth must have been hard for him, and he wouldsurely be resentful toward your stepmother."
"Indeed." Luke scorned as he recalled, "Once we were back in the country, the first thing my unclehelped us with was to cultivate power in Capitol instead of telling the truth to my father immediately. Asour power grew, we began to attend all kinds of social activities. One day, we pretended to comeacross my father and that b*tch at a party. He accused us of not being filial, but we showed the result ofa DNA paternity test to him. We told him the truth there and then, before all the guests, and he wasn'ttoo happy about that."
Sharing his encounter, Luke laughed uncontrollably.
Madeline urged him to continue, "He must have had a hard time believing your words."
"He refused to believe it." Luke nodded as he explained, "Even though he had his doubts, he stillneeded to hide them in front of others. All this time, he harmed his sons for a b*stard and gave theb*stard all of his love. How ridiculous things would be if his efforts were wasted on someone else's son.He couldn't accept the truth and accused us of slandering him, but we didn't let him off the hook easily."
"What else other than the test result did you prepare to prove your words?"
"We were well aware that anyone could fake the result, but we knew facial features would neverdeceive. Not only did we use our father's and the b*stard's hair for the test, but we also found thebiological father of the b*stard. Knowing my father and his mistress would attend the party, we broughtthe man with us. We then tricked him into standing next to the b*stard, right in front of all the guests."
