Chapter 141 If You Can’t Endure It, Don’t Put Up With It
Meanwhile, Madeline entered the VIP room on the second floor along with Quinton.
The moment she entered, Joel ran over and jumped into her arms before looking up at her with his bright eyes excitedly. “Mommy! Mommy, we saw you from upstairs just now, and you looked so pretty! You’re the prettiest person in the entire world!”
Initially, Michael and Crystal wanted to take Quincy and Joel along with them to introduce the kids to their friends and family. However, Sebastian refused to let them do so.
“Not just the Harts—even the Wendels have enemies, and while these people wouldn’t do anything to us in public, they often like to target our family members behind our backs, so it’s better to not let too many people know about Quincy and Joel’s existence to protect them.”
Immediately, Michael and Crystal were persuaded by his reasoning.
The more reputable the family was, the more private they were. This was the same case for the Harts.
Although many knew about Sebastian, not many had been able to see Sebastian in real life because Philip was protective of Sebastian and wouldn’t let him make an appearance in public.
This was a good habit, and Michael as well as Crystal should learn from Philip.
Thus, they decided to not reveal Sebastian and the kids’ identity.
Still, Sebastian and the kids could see everything that happened downstairs on the second floor from Madeline shocking the guests when she appeared in front of them, to a bunch of young men surrounding her as soon as Michael announced the start of the cocktail party.
While Quincy and Joel were proud and happy to see Madeline being the center of the attraction, Sebastian felt slightly uncomfortable as he couldn’t stand to see the sight of his wife being surrounded by a bunch of men who were trying to woo her.
Why should I put up with it when I can’t endure it any longer?
Without any hesitation, Sebastian waved his hand at Quinton and got him to get Madeline back.
Since Quinton understood Sebastian well, he knew what Sebastian wanted and went downstairs to reveal Madeline’s identity in front of everyone.
Although Sebastian couldn’t hear what Quinton said because the second floor was too high up, he could already imagine what Quinton was going to say based on his understanding of him.
When he noticed that everyone looked in disbelief when they watched as Madeline went upstairs along with Quinton, he knew that all the fantasies that those men had downstairs had been destroyed.
The Wendel Family’s princess already had a husband and wasn’t someone that they could approach anymore.
Since he was satisfied by what he saw, Sebastian took his sons back into the VIP room before Madeline came upstairs.
Just then, Madeline caressed Joel’s chubby cheeks with a smile before she exclaimed, “Thank you, Joel! You look really adorable tonight as well!”
While Quincy and Joel didn’t show up in front of the crowd tonight, they still dressed up for the party. Quincy was wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt and a red bow while Joel was wearing a white tuxedo with a black shirt along with a similar red bow.
Even though their outfits looked simple, it looked noble and made the two adorable boys look like princes that were extremely likable.
The more Madeline looked at her sons, the more she couldn’t believe that she actually gave birth to two adorable twins. At that moment, she pulled Quincy and Joel into her arms and peppered them with kisses.
Just then, Joel started giggling because of how ticklish the kisses were before he fell into her embrace and refused to get up.
When he noticed the blooming smile on Madeline’s face, Sebastian leaned against the window and smiled as well. “Are you in a good mood?”
He could sense that she was genuinely happy at that moment.
“I am.” Madeline bent down to carry Joel again before she looked at him. “Just now… My parents gave me five percent of Wendel Corporation’s shares…”
Then, she reached out to brush the side of her hair that fell out to the back of her ear before smiling in embarrassment. “Please don’t misunderstand me as I’m not lusting for my parents’ money. I just feel like… My parents really love me…”
Although it was lowly to use money as a measure for love, if a person who claimed to love another wasn’t even willing to pay for them, it surely wasn’t true love.
A reputable family would always let the son inherit all the company shares.
Thus, Michael and Crystal’s action to give her five percent of Wendel Corporation’s share proved how much they loved and valued her despite the fact that they had four other sons.
Madeline was really touched and grateful as the shares increased her sense of belonging in the family.
Right now, she felt like she was a part of the Wendels, and she was Michael and Crystal’s daughter as well as Jonathan and the others’ little sister.
Since Michael and Crystal treated her genuinely, she would be sure to treat them with kindness and be a filial daughter. Madeline was determined to help her brothers out since she was a part of the Wendels now.
She would finally have a family from today onward!
At this moment, Madeline felt at ease, the joy and excitement that she was feeling right then couldn’t be put into words.
A smile bloomed on her face while her eyes glistened. Under the chandelier’s illumination, she looked really seductive.
Just then, Sebastian’s eyes widened a little before his heart started racing.
Suddenly, a thought flashed past his mind… It looks like five percent of a company’s shares is enough to get her to treat Michael as well as Crystal like her family and make her smile with a sense of security. Still, they only gave five percent of the shares, and I can definitely give her more…
Then, Madeline planted another kiss on Joel, who was still curled up in her arms, before she stood up and took him to Sebastian before asking, “Why didn’t anyone send you guys any food? Are you guys hungry? I’ll go get someone to send some food over.”
The smile on her face when she was coaxing Joel was still there, and her voice was soft and sweet as if it was a hook that was tickling Sebastian’s heart.
At this moment, the tip of his fingers twitched subconsciously as he suddenly felt like caressing her pale cheeks… Her skin looks so smooth and soft… I bet her skin feels nice to touch.
Nevertheless, the thought quickly disappeared from his mind before he answered, “We’re not hungry yet. I’ll get someone to send us food once we are hungry.”
“Daddy, I’m hungry!” Joel ran into Sebastian’s arms before he started whining, “Daddy, I’m really, really hungry, and I think that I can eat a lot!”
Immediately, Sebastian lowered his gaze and ruffled Joel’s hair before he asked with a voice as gentle as calm water, “Are you really hungry, or are you just itching to eat something, huh?”
At the same time, Madeline was watching the father and son pair with a smile on her face while an unknown emotion started coursing within her body. How great it is to be able to live like this!
In the past, she’d never imagine that Quincy and Joel would be able to find their biological father, or the fact that their biological father would love them just as much as she did.
SRight then, the man that was coaxing her son in front of her was so charismatic and charming that she felt her heart skipping a beat.
