Chapter 178 Get Away From Me!
Clenching her fists, she gave him a deadly stare. “Get out! If you dare to touch me, I’ll never forgive you for the rest of my life!”
“That’s exactly what I intend, though!” Luke stroked her cheeks with his hand. “Not only that, but I want you to be completely mine! Sebastian would never want to touch you after you became my woman. You can leave him and be with me, then!”
“You’re really crazy!” Madeline couldn’t control herself anymore and scolded him as such. Then, she added in fury, “You better give up now! Even if you did so and Sebastian doesn’t want me anymore, I would rather marry any other Tom, Dick or Harry than you!”
“Why?” Hearing that, he became enraged and began strangling her neck. “Did I not treat you well? Just how am I not good enough for you? I don’t mind the fact that you’ve given birth to two sons. As long as you’re willing to marry me, I will treat them like my own and I can even go for ligation if you’re still worried!”
“Can you stop being crazy? You’re good. Logan is just as good. Everyone in my firm is good as well, but that doesn’t mean I have to marry them all! I’ve no feelings for you, that’s it. There are many women, including perfect women, who like you. Why did you not marry them? It’s just like how you wouldn’t marry them because I would not marry you for the exact same reason. Is this so difficult for you to understand?”
“I don’t care!” Luke remained stubborn. “I don’t care about the others. I only care about myself, and what I want is to marry you! I can give up on everything except you!”
“Get out now!” Madeline was feeling even worse. Pushing him aside, she said, “I’ll kill you if you dare to touch me! I’ll never forgive you for the rest of my life. You are no longer my friend or my brother, but my enemy! One that I would hate forever!”
“As you wish!” He immediately tore his own clothes and all the buttons fell off as a result of his rough action. “I believe that when there’s a will, there’s a way. As long as I put enough effort, you will become mine and my wife!”
Right after he finished his sentence, Luke pressed himself against her.
“Get away from me!” Madeline tried to kick him, but he managed to grip her ankle.
She was already feeling terrible. That was an intolerable fervent feeling, as if her veins and nerves were bitten by countless ants at the same time.
She had also lost control of herself and was gasping for air. Her limbs were so weak that she was unable to exert any strength.
After Luke released her ankle, he rested himself on her once more.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
“Go away!” Luke impatiently yelled.
The knocking stopped, but after a brief moment, the door was pushed open.
Facing Luke’s angry glare, Liam entered and braced himself by saying, “Young Master Luke, Young Master Logan gave me a call and asked you to call him back. He said that you’ll regret it if you do not do so…”
When Luke heard that, he looked at Madeline and pulled her up from the bed before he followed up with a strike on her nape.
“You…” She could only say one word before everything went black and she passed out again.
“Keep an eye on her!” He instructed Liam and continued indifferently, “I’ll strip your skin off if she escapes.”
That gave Liam chills, to which he immediately responded, “Yes, Young Master Luke!”
Then, Luke took his phone into the backroom to call his brother.
The call was answered swiftly. The moment the call was answered, Logan immediately asked, “Luke, you went to look for Maddie, right?”
“No,” Luke lied through his teeth calmly.
Logan was the only person on the planet who had the ability to control him.
He didn’t care about anyone else’s death or happiness, but he couldn’t have the same attitude toward his only brother. During their difficult times, it was his brother who protected him using his own life.
Luke would have died a few times now if it weren’t for Logan. He could let everyone in this world down, but not his brother.
“You don’t have to lie to me. No one else understands you better than me in this world and I can easily tell whether you’re speaking the truth.” Logan pinched his brows and continued, “Luke, why did you look for Maddie again? You promised me that you would never disturb her again, right? You—”
“I don’t want to disturb her; she was the one who lied to me first!” Luke said in a cold voice, “She promised me that she would never marry anyone, but she is married now!”
“I know, but she has her reasons for doing so,” Logan replied. “You are well aware that nothing is more important to Maddie than Quincy and Joel. Since Sebastian is their biological father, and so long as he has agreed to do so, it was her best choice to marry him in order for Quincy and Joel to have a happy and healthy childhood…”
“You knew about it, Logan?” Luke clenched his fist tightly. “You knew that Maddie married Sebastian? All of you knew about it and I was the only one kept in the dark, right?”
“Yes, I knew…” Madeline was their life savior and Logan had always treated her like his own sister.
He hoped that she could have a good life. Hence, every now and then, he would send someone to get her latest updates just in case she was being bullied, but he didn’t have the courage to mention anything about her before Luke.
Logan had spent a lot of effort in convincing Luke to sever all contact with Maddie and forced him to promise that he would not disturb her life. At last, Luke relented and finally stopped thinking as well as mentioning Maddie. Logan would, of course, not remind him about her either.
He thought that as time passed, Luke would forget about Maddie and meet someone new who could replace Maddie in his heart.
However, he certainly did not expect that Luke, who had not mentioned Madeline for a long time, would suddenly head over to Dusktown.
And Madeline was in Dusktown.
The moment he knew Luke went to Dusktown, the first thought Logan had in his mind was that he had gone to look for Madeline. Connecting that with the fact that Madeline was married to Sebastian, he knew that terrible things would happen.
Given his brother’s obstinacy for her and his bad temper, he would definitely cause a ruckus in Dusktown. Even Logan had no idea what he would do.
After knowing that, Logan immediately gave Luke a call, but he refused to answer.
Thus, he had to call Luke’s bodyguard because he could roughly guess what Luke was doing right now.
Although he understood his brother’s unwillingness to accept what had happened, he too, knew that love was something that couldn’t be forced upon.
Madeline did not love his brother. The more Luke wanted to continue pestering her, the worse they would end up.
Logan tried to hoax him calmly. “Luke, I know it’s difficult for you to accept, but this is Maddie’s choice. Nobody stood in the way of whoever and no one forced her in doing so. Maddie simply doesn’t like you. If you truly love her, you should dote on her, protect her, as well as wish for the best for her…”
