Chapter 198 Giving Birth to a Baby

After Logan had gotten back the property, he would always think of Madeline whenever he came across something yummy or fun.Text © owned by .

He hoped that the sister he used to rely on each other with would still be there by his side for him to share his joys and achievements.

As time passed, his desire for that to happen didn’t fade. Instead, it got so strong it became an obsession of his.

He had thought that his obsession would have no choice but to become his lifelong regret, but just as he thought all hope was lost, his wish finally came true.

From now on, he could finally share his wealth, status, and glory with his dear sister without having to hide it.

He was going to protect her and make her the happiest person on earth!

After they had breakfast together, Logan told the injured Luke to go and take his rest.

“Where are you going, Logan?” Luke asked, to which Logan told him that he was going to the company.

Adams Corporation had extended its branch to Dusktown, but the office wasn’t a big one. There were a lot of preparations he would need to do if he intended to move the company’s headquarters here. Hence, he decided to work on it earlier.

“Oh,” Luke answered with a pout. “You boring man.”

Logan’s days were filled with work. Now that they had finally reunited with Madeline, work was still all that Logan was thinking about.

Logan was already used to his younger brother’s antics. With that, he could only helplessly shake his head and let Luke say whatever he wanted to say.

After Logan had left Hart Residence, Sebastian and Madeline sent the kids to school together.

It was either because the children were ridiculously brave, or they could handle pressure because yesterday’s incident didn’t seem to affect them in any way at all. They had practically jumped out of bed after they woke up, and with vigor, they went to school like they usually did.

The school had improved its security measures after the kidnapping incident. They also promised Sebastian and Madeline that the children’s safety was guaranteed as soon as they were within school grounds and that no similar incident would happen from now on.

It was a good thing that the school took action, but Sebastian wasn’t going to entirely put his faith in them. He even went as far as to build wristwatches for the children which had features that would allow them to call the police and save themselves.

The wristwatches had built-in GPS that their bodyguards could track to pinpoint the children’s location anytime if needed. Other than that, the watches had an anesthetic needle that could be ejected with the push of a button. The needle was coated with strong anesthesia that could take down an adult man instantly.

Not only that, the watches were connected to the alarm system in the Harts’ bodyguard quarters. Like the anesthetic needle, the alarm could be set off with the push of a button.

Quincy and Joel, who wore clothes and wristwatches of the same style but in different colors, waved at their parents after they were dropped off at their school, and after saying their goodbyes, the young boys ran inside with their hands in each other’s.

Due to the increased safety precautions, strangers weren’t allowed within the compound, which made it difficult for someone to take a child away without anyone noticing. And on top of that, Quincy and Joel had watches that guaranteed their safety and could keep them safe. However, despite knowing all that, Sebastian still didn’t feel like all of that was enough to protect his children as he watched their retreating backs.

He just couldn’t bear to let them go to school. If only his children could stay within his sight so that he could watch them every second of every day.

Madeline was even more worried about the children than their father was.

Seeing how anxious she was, Sebastian tried to calm her down. “They will be okay,” he said. “Dusktown is the safest city in the country. Luke only had the guts to do it because he is crazy and he was sure that you wouldn’t protect him. Anyone else would definitely think twice before they do something against the law as Luke did.”

“Yes, I understand.” She forced herself to smile. “My heart doesn’t feel settled yet because I was in shock, but I will be fine in no time… It is getting late. How about you head over to the company now?”

He nodded at that. “Alright. You don’t look too good. Don’t rush to get back to work. You can take some rest for a few days if you need to. Get well first before you start worrying about work.”

Her face began to turn red from embarrassment then.

Technically speaking, even though she was a mother of two, it was only yesterday that she had become a woman.

It was true that her body wasn’t in its best condition.

But just thinking about the reason why her body didn’t feel well made her cheeks grow warmer and warmer, and she lowered her gaze to avoid Sebastian’s eyes. “Okay. You need to take care of yourself too. You seemed to always have work to be done.”

That made him laugh, and he told her, “I am very different now from how I used to be. I was a workaholic who loved doing overtime. But now, I get off from work right on the dot almost every day. A lot of people have been curious about what changed this workaholic who always did overtime.”

“Is that so?” she laughed. “What do you tell them, then?”

The corners of his lips went up. “I told them that two little angels appeared in my life.”

His answer made her laugh even more joyfully.

His eyes seemed to darken as he looked at her beautiful smiling face, and he was suddenly reminded of how she looked, moaning and squirming in his arms yesterday. A strange feeling rushed into his head then.

“Maybe,” he let out a low laugh. “There will be three angels in the future.”

He was implying that Madeline was his third angel, but her mind had gone in a completely different direction. She suddenly recalled how they didn’t use any protection, and neither did she take a contraceptive pill!

Three little angels? she panicked. Does he want another… child? Should I give birth to another one? Will that be okay?

Noticing that she was frozen, he asked, “What is wrong?”

“I—I didn’t take a pill yesterday…” she stammered. “I have heard that there is a kind of morning-after pill that can prevent pregnancies if taken 72 hours after doing the deed.”

“Prevent pregnancies? Why do we need that for?” he subconsciously asked her.

He thought that it would be nice to have another child as adorable as Quincy and Joel were.

Furthermore, the boys were already five years old. He had missed five years of the time the children had spent growing up.

That was why he looked forward to a baby that had just been delivered.

He wanted to know what Quincy and Joel looked like when they were born.

His curiosity could be satisfied if he and Madeline could give the brothers a younger sibling.

Chewing on his lower lip, he began to wonder why Madeline wanted to prevent pregnancy.

He could think of many reasons, but it was probably because they were only husband and wife on paper.

No, he stopped himself. That is not it. We were a couple on paper, but I don’t think we are now.

Sebastian had promised her he would stay loyal to their marriage, and that he would never fall for someone else or cheat on her. He also promised that he would be a responsible husband and father.

They were a real married couple now. That contract of theirs was a thing of the past.

But a baby… She had never given this a thought.

“Don’t you like children?” Sebastian asked after seeing her hesitating. “Or do you not like having too many kids? Do you prefer having only Aldo and Buddy?”
