Chapter 37 Relying on Each Other?

The smile on Sebastian’s face widened as he listened to Madeline’s description of Nigel. Madeline felt her heart racing at the sight of Sebastian’s smile. All along, she had always thought of her two sons as the most good-looking boys in the world—every other man was just passing clouds to her. However, Sebastian was too gorgeous, and he looked even more eye-catching whenever he smiled. She simply couldn’t help but feel attracted to him.

When she couldn’t contain her emotions anymore, she lowered her gaze and stared at his chin while speaking to him. “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at how Cameron’s statement was accurate. Everyone in the Taylor Family is an idiot. They don’t even know how they’ve been fooled,” Sebastian uttered with a faint smile.

“Are you talking about my uncle?” Madeline knitted her eyebrows puzzledly. “How is he dumb? The Taylor Corporation is the largest company in the whole of Worrick, and my uncle is the chairman of the company. He’s smart, he’s capable, and he’s charismatic. He’s not dumb at all!” It wasn’t easy for one to achieve success. Nigel had managed to maintain the Taylor Family’s reputation and had ensured that the Taylor Corporation remained at the top of the pyramid—that itself showed how capable of a man he was. How can one associate the word ‘idiot’ with my uncle?

“Trust me. He is an idiot!” Sebastian rested his chin on his palm as he gazed at her with twinkling eyes. “I got some of my men to investigate the Taylor Family so that I could get to know you, Joel, and Quincy a little better. However, I accidentally stumbled upon something really interesting…” His smile was elegant and gorgeous, yet Madeline seemed to notice something odd about it. He looks like he’s smiling at our family’s failures. Why do I feel so nervous all of a sudden? she wondered.

“What did you find interesting?” Her tone sounded more careful than usual as she questioned him. She had a feeling that it was bad news!

Sebastian continued smiling at her. “Just one month before Phoebe’s father, Bryan, had bravely saved Dan, Bryan found out that he had cancer and could only live for another two months…”

Madeline was shocked. Moments later, she spoke up with a tone of disbelief. “Are you saying…”

“What am I saying?” Sebastian eyed her amusedly.

She noticed her palms sweating as her throat became dry. “You’re saying that… Bryan was the one who staged the entire accident. He knew that he didn’t have long to live after being diagnosed with cancer, and he wanted his daughter to marry my uncle. So, he hired one of the maids to drive toward Dan, so that he could charge out and save Dan… He became Dan’s savior, and he sacrificed his life so that he could beg my uncle to marry Phoebe. For the sake of Bryan’s peace of mind, my uncle had no choice but to marry Phoebe…”

“That’s exactly it!” Sebastian glanced at Madeline with an impressed look. “That’s not bad. You’re brave, you have planning skills, you can fight, and you have brains! No wonder my sons are so outstanding!”

Madeline was speechless. He’s praising me, but why does it make me feel so uneasy? What’s wrong? Oh! Joel and Quincy are my sons! Who is he to be proud of them? “They are my sons!” she uttered instinctively.

“That’s not right,” Sebastian said with a smile. “They’re our sons. You can’t have sons on your own. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have applied for sperm from the sperm bank! You can take half the credit for having Joel and Quincy, but the other half belongs to me. Your genes may be good, but mine is not bad either. Honestly, I think my genes are a little better since you lost to me!”

Sebastian’s thought processes were clear, and he was extremely articulate. How does he expect others to hold conversations and develop friendships with him when he’s the one doing all the talking?! She was too tongue-tied to speak for a while. “Regardless, I’ll never be separated from Joel and Quincy. They’re my sons, and no one can take them away! Not even you!” She glared at him as she warned him. “I know you’re their biological father, but all you provided for them up until this point is your sperm. So, don’t you dare think about snatching them away from me. As long as I’m alive, I refuse to be separated from them!”

“That’s perfect. That was exactly what I was thinking!” He gave her a lopsided smile before leaning forward to speak in a deep voice. “So, Miss Madeline, are you saying that you’re going to stay with me for the rest of your life?”

“Which ear of yours heard me say such a thing? I didn’t say that!” she protested.

“I heard it with both ears!” he chuckled. “Both Quincy and Joel are part of the Hart Family, so I can’t have them out on the streets without a proper name. You, on the other hand, can’t bear to be separated from them. If they stay with the Harts, wouldn’t you have to be with me for the rest of your life?”

Madeline was speechless once more. You’re so good with words—it’s a shame that you aren’t a lawyer or a diplomat! She pushed Sebastian away as he got closer to her. “It’s not me who’s going to stay with you, it’s you who’s going to stay with me! If you don’t want to see me, you can just tell me and the boys to pack up and leave your house.”

He beamed at her for a moment before nodding. “Okay! I’ll be the one to stick to you and depend on you, then. We’re on the way to collect our marriage certificate, after all. If all goes well, we’re about to spend the rest of our lives with each other. We can rely on each other—I think that’s a good idea!”

Madeline was shocked. He gave in without putting up an argument this time! That’s unbelievable! But… What does he mean by relying on each other?

“From the start until now, my only intention is to spend time with Joel and Quincy. I never thought about relying on you!” she insisted.

Sebastian chuckled without saying anything else. He was rather surprised by the whole thing. Since Sebastian was a workaholic, he had never been interested in relationships, but after he met Madeline, he suddenly found that he was. Perhaps… Maybe… It’s possible… It’s likely… that it’s because she’s my son’s mother. I feel a sense of responsibility toward her. How can I let my son’s mother be bullied by others, right? I have to protect her.

Sebastian had ordered his men to research the Taylor Family for the sake of his sons. When he saw the reports, he felt even more protective over the mother and sons. Furthermore, he was starting to develop feelings toward Madeline after knowing her a little better. He believed that it was possible for him and Madeline to turn their contractual marriage into an actual one.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

After all, he had never found a woman who interested him. She was the only one who caught his attention, and she was also the mother to his sons. If they could turn their marriage act into something real, he believed that it would be mutually beneficial to the both of them!
