Chapter 194 What Else Could He Do? After All, He Was Guilty!

Not only was Sebastian the children’s father by blood, but he was also someone who shouldered the responsibilities a father should.

The children liked and looked up to him. They wanted to get closer to him. Ever since the children and father had met, Quincy and Joel had gotten a lot more lively than they were.

Joel, who used to care about nothing, had gotten even more so after living with the Harts. Not only did he not get more mature, but he also seemed to start acting like a young child again. Even Quincy had occasionally seemed to have regained the vigor and innocence children his age should have.

Madeline was grateful to Sebastian for everything he had done. Love might not exist between him and her, but he was truly a perfect husband and father.

As long as he never suggested having a divorce, there was no way she would be the one to mention it first.

Luke let out an unsatisfied “hmph” at that.

Just as she was about to speak up again, she was stopped by the sound of footsteps coming from upstairs.

Joel was holding Quincy’s hand as they waddled their way down the stairs. “Daddy! Mommy!” the boys cheered.

Desmond was following behind them when his panicked voice could be heard. “Please don’t run so fast, little young masters. What if you fall?!”

Her sons had just woken up and were now hopping down the stairs. After seeing them, Madeline instantly forgot what she wanted to say as she rushed toward them. “Aldo! Buddy!” she exclaimed.

“Mommy!” Joel threw himself into her arms and wrapped his tiny arms around her waist. His soft voice then rang out, “Mommy, I missed you so much!”

Her heart melted at that. She then squatted down and scooped Quincy into her arms and planted a kiss on each child. “My good babies. Mommy is here. Mommy has always been here.

“Oh? You only missed Mommy, huh? Didn’t you miss Daddy as well?” Sebastian wiggled his eyebrows and rubbed Joel’s head.

“I missed Daddy too!” Joel raised his chin to look at Sebastian, only for his gaze to shift between Logan and Luke. His eyes seemed to twinkle as he said, “Uncle Logan?”

“Buddy, you remember me?” Logan was surprised to hear the young boy calling his name.

The children were only 2 to 3 years old when Logan and Luke had left Worrick.

Since they weren’t at an age where they could remember things yet, he had thought that the children had forgotten about them.

“I remember!” While hugging his mother, Joel turned to look at him. “I have seen you on Mommy’s phone, Uncle Logan. Mommy’s phone has pictures of you hugging Aldo and me! There are videos as well!”

Logan looked at Madeline then as a wave of emotions surged through his chest.

It felt a little sad, yet warm at the same time.

He had thought that Madeline would delete everything related to them.

But it turned out that not only did she not delete them from her phone, she even showed their photos and videos to the kids.

Logan walked toward Joel and got down to the young boy’s height before he tentatively opened his arms to hug Joel.

Joel went into Logan’s arms rather obediently, but his big pretty eyes were full of curiosity as he looked at his uncle.Original content from .

Seeing that, Logan gently rubbed the young boy’s soft bed of hair. His eyes were filled with love as he looked at his nephew.

He couldn’t help but muse how different it was to see a family member’s child compared to seeing someone else’s child.

He would often think of Quincy and Joel every time he saw someone else’s child in Capitol.

His heart had always stayed calm when he looked at those children and he never felt the urge to embrace or pamper them.

Quincy and Joel, however, made him never want to let them go. He could even pick a star from the night sky for them if that was what they wanted.

“Aldo and Buddy, you have gotten even prettier than the last time I saw you!” The love in his eyes felt like it would overflow as he looked at the children.

Even though children were oblivious to a lot of things, they were especially sensitive to adults’ emotions.

Joel could tell that Logan liked him, and so he flashed an adorable smile at the older man. “Uncle Logan, are you our guest? Mommy said that you live somewhere far, far away. That is why we can only see you from Mommy’s phone.”

“That is right.” Logan didn’t seem to have the intention of letting him go anytime soon. “Do you welcome me at your home, Buddy?”

“Yes! Of course! Uncle Logan, you have to stay here longer! Mommy will be super happy if you were to stay here for a few days!” Joel excitedly cheered and his pretty eyes were like crescent moons. Logan’s heart had melted after he saw the soft smile on the young boy’s face.

“Alright.” Logan’s chest felt warm as his gaze shifted to Madeline then.

He indeed wanted to stay at Dusktown for a little longer.

He hadn’t met up with Madeline before this because of his promise to her that he would prevent Luke from disrupting her life.

However, now that Luke and Madeline had made up, he could finally start with the moving of the headquarters of Adams Corporation to Dusktown.

Dusktown was one of the world’s top 10 cities suitable for both business and dwelling. Not only was Dusktown the most bustling city in the country, but it was also an internationally known capital of trade.

He believed that moving his company’s headquarters here would expand their opportunity to grow.

Of course, that was not what was important. The main point was that Madeline and the children were here.

It was purely by a strange coincidence that Madeline had married into the Hart Family. Now that they could finally meet again, Logan was going to support her here. It would be terrible if he didn’t even know that she was being bullied because of how far Capitol was from Dusktown.

He could wait until he and Luke were settled down here to live life together again, as they did in Worrick. Some might think that it was melodramatic of him to wish for a life where they have to depend on each other when he basically owned the world now.

But it was the truth.

Rather than being materialistic, they would provide emotional and mental support to each other.

The closest person to Logan, besides Luke, was Madeline.

This was how human beings were––the more they couldn’t get something, the more they wanted it.

He had always lacked love and a family, and that was why he had put such importance into familial love and warmth.

Luke and Madeline were all he had. With that, he wished that they could be together and be there for one another as long as they lived.

Joel’s words seemed to have caught Logan by his weakness, making Logan even more reluctant to let the young boy go.

On the other hand, Luke had mixed feelings about the children.

Back when they were in Worrick, Logan was the one who had loved them from the start. He, however, never liked the sight of them.

He thought that the children were born for the sole purpose of saving Sam. It was a big sacrifice that Madeline had to make and bring along with her for the rest of her life.

He was rather lukewarm toward the children when they were in Worrick. It was only for Madeline’s sake that he would sometimes take care of them, and even during those times, it was hard for him not to give them an attitude.

It was even harder for him to get along with the children now after he had just kidnapped them!

This was why he had been silently standing aside all this time.

Meanwhile, Logan, who still had his arms tightly secured around Joel, and Joel, being the softhearted boy that he was, patiently stayed in his uncle’s embrace. It wasn’t like he minded being in the arms of his uncle, anyway. He really liked his Uncle Logan because of how very handsome he was!

Joel might be young, but he could very well tell what a beautiful face was. Without a doubt, he was going to pamper this good-looking uncle of his!

The duo continued to chat for a while before Joel’s gaze fell on Luke’s face. He seemed to be scrutinizing the older man when his little eyebrows crinkled.

Luke could feel himself becoming tense from being at the receiving side of such a look. The hairs on his body as well seemed to be standing on end.

What else could he do? After all, he was guilty!
