Chapter 90 Bad

“Yes.” He nodded. “My men found a lot of stuff. I didn’t really think much about her back then. Sure, it seemed suspicious, but I didn’t look into it. Since she wanted to bully you earlier, I thought I could use this against her.” He paused for a moment and looked at Madeline, a smirk curling his lips. “Since I’m just paying her back for what she did to you, I don’t even need any proof.”

You win.

“And I probably hit the jackpot,” Sebastian said. “I linked all the points together and came up with a story just to get back at her, but judging from the looks of it, my story is close to the truth.”

“Yep,” Madeline said. “I think so too.”

“Your father and brothers are going to have a sleepless night,” Sebastian said happily.

Yep. He really loves to make people’s lives miserable just to get some sort of satisfaction out of it.

“Just sleep, alright?” he said. “It’s the Wendels’ business to look for the evidence, not yours. This might possibly be a murder, and your father’s mother—your grandfather’s wife—was the victim. They will replace the evidence no matter what.”

“Okay,” Madeline said. “Good night.”

Sebastian replied the same thing as well.

They didn’t sleep for a long time after that, but they said nothing either. She was in silence for a long time, and a lot of things crossed her mind, but eventually, she drifted to sleep. It was a peaceful slumber, and when she woke up, Sebastian was still asleep. Madeline turned to her side and looked at him and the boys, then she started to have mixed feelings about it.

Philip said that Aldo looked exactly like Sebastian was when he was little, and he said Buddy looked like Sebastian’s deceased mother. But on closer inspection, she could see that they both resembled Sebastian. They looked like a mini version of him when put side by side. Anyone could see that they were father and son at first glance.

She was impressed by the magic of blood. The boys had no interaction with Sebastian for the last five years, but they still resembled their father nonetheless. She wasn’t related to Sebastian at all either, but now, she had two boys who resembled both her and Sebastian.

While she was staring away at them, she suddenly realized that Sebastian had opened his eyes. Surprised, she quickly looked down and focused on Aldo.

Sebastian looked at her, then at the kids, and he smiled. “Good morning.”

Madeline brushed her unkempt hair away. “Good morning.” I wonder if he saw me staring at him.

Sebastian sat up and looked at the children. “Do you want to let them sleep in?”

Madeline thought about it for a moment, and she nodded. “It was way past their bedtime when they slept last night. I’ll let them sleep. They’re still growing, and they need their sleep.”

“I think so too.” Sebastian got out of bed. “Now let’s get breakfast. I’ve got some Wendel Morning News to catch.”

Wow, he really doesn’t care when it doesn’t concern him, huh? This guy looks and acts like royalty. It’s like he’s a real king, but his personality doesn’t match his air. He’s so bad. She shook her head speechlessly. “You go. The boys will be scared if they don’t see me after they wake up.”

“Did you forget something?” Sebastian looked at her. “You’re not alone now. “Get Fred and Simon here to keep an eye on them.”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Sebastian changed into his clothes, commenting nonchalantly, “Maddie, you have got to get used to this. The boys aren’t just your sons anymore. They are also the Harts’ young masters. Fred and Simon are their bodyguards. Letting them get along with the kids will be good for them. And as for you…”

He looked at her. “You should have your own space instead of just making the children your whole world, or you’re going to be lonely, sad, and depressed when the kids go to school.”

He really knows how to talk, but he’s so bad. I won’t get lonely, sad, and depressed. I have my own firm and career. I won’t be depressed just because the kids are at school. She had no argument here, and she thought he had a point, so she called Fred and Simon.

It had been a long day, and they had gone to sleep at a time way past their bedtime, so the kids didn’t even stir even though she and Sebastian were chatting so happily.

Fred and Simon came up a while later. Once Sebastian and Madeline washed up and got changed, they left the room. Fred and Simon came in to take their place and stayed with the boys.

They went down and headed toward the living room. Michael and his sons were there, and they stood up to greet the Hart couple.

“Dad. Gentlemen,” Madeline greeted them. She didn’t address her brothers one by one, so she just greeted them all at once.

“Morning, Maddie. Did you sleep well?” Michael looked at Sebastian. “And did you have a good sleep, Sebastian?”

“Yes,” Madeline said. “The boys are still slee… Dad, did you guys stay up the whole night?”

Michael and his sons were still in the same clothes, though they were starting to wrinkle after a night, and they looked harried. It was obvious they stayed up the whole night.

“Yes.” Michael invited them to the dining table. “Have a seat. Cedric, tell the chef to make breakfast.”

Cedric stood up.

Michael asked, “What do the boys like, Maddie?”

“Anything,” she said. “Anything, really. They aren’t picky.”

Michael looked at Cedric. “Make more of everything then. Tell them to make the boys’ favorite and their specialties.”

“Okay.” Cedric nodded and went to the kitchen.

Michael asked, “Dad, what about the case with Grandma? Did you replace any evidence?”

“We did.” Michael’s smile was replaced by a grim look. “Your brothers and I dragged Cindy here through the night and interrogated her. She’s a coward and broke down in moments. She told us everything after your brothers scared her.”

“So…” Madeline looked at Sebastian. “Is it like what Se-Sebastian said?” For some reason, she would feel awkward and stammer whenever she said Sebastian’s name.
