“Really?” Buddy blinked.
“Yes.” Sebastian patted his head, a weird feeling bubbling in his heart. He bent down and hugged the boy. “It’s LEGO. Do you like it?”
The hug came too suddenly, startling Buddy. Despite his affection for Sebastian, he still fidgeted and escaped his hug. Then he hid behind his mother and hugged her, though he stuck his head out to look at him.
Sebastian’s heart melted again. He wanted to hug him, and he was holding down the urge to drag him out and hold him in his arms. He stood up and looked at Madeline. “Can I come in?”
Madeline nodded quietly. “Drinks or coffee?” She led him into the living room.
“It’s alright.” He put a file on the coffee table. “The results are out. They’re my sons.”
The results were expected, but Madeline still felt everything around her spinning. Her blood went cold, and her mind buzzed.
It was still unacceptable even though she was prepared for it. The boys aren’t mine alone anymore. Someone else has the right to love them. He’s their father. Out of all people, him? How can this even happen? Am I in a novel or something? There’s no way this kind of coincidence can happen. Why did I even come to Dusktown? Regret filled her, robbing her face of its color, and her body of its warmth.
Buddy was shocked. He hugged her tightly and called out to her with a trembling voice.
Aldo stood before Madeline, defending her. He grabbed the knife on the coffee table and pointed it at Sebastian fiercely. “Get out. Don’t scare Mom. Scare her again and I will hurt you.” He liked Sebastian, but if Madeline was scared of him, he would rather do away with that affection.
Sebastian frowned. He looked at Madeline and told her softly, “Calm down. Relax. You’re scaring the kids. I told you I won’t take them away, and I keep my promises. Calm down.”
Oh yeah. He did say he won’t take them away. I have nothing to fear. They’re still mine, and nobody can take them away from me. She took a deep breath and took the knife away from Aldo, then she ushered them to the couch and sat down.
Madeline held them in her embrace tightly, but her gaze never left Sebastian. “They’re my whole world. As long as I live, nobody can take them away from me. What will you do now?”
“I understand, and I can promise on my name that I won’t separate you from your kids,” Sebastian answered softly as he tried to ease the tension. “I have a question for you.”
Madeline calmed down a lot more after she got his promise. She nodded. “Ask away.”
“How on earth did you get your hands on my seed?” Weird. With my status and power, how did I never see that coming? This is unbelievable.
