CHAPTER 489
Quincy glanced at his brother and responded, "You have so much to say."
"Oh…" Joel's eyes twinkled as he explained to Philip, Patrick, and Paul, "Aldo only said that after Daddy and Mom's wedding, Mommy will be his partner for life. The rest are based on my understanding. Grandpa, did I understand it correctly?"
That made Philip laugh even harder. "Yes. Yes. Yes. Your understanding is on point!" He then rubbed Joel's head harder while proudly announcing, "Joel is so smart!"
With crescent eyes, Joel added, "Aldo is the smartest! He likes to read books and knows a lot of things. Whenever I don't understand something, I'll just ask him. He's like my encyclopedia!"
"Yes, Quincy is also very smart." Philip rubbed Quincy's head, too, while smiling. "Also, Quincy does such a good job as an older brother. Your mommy and daddy will give birth to many younger brothers and sisters in the future, and I'm sure you'll do a very good job in helping them take care of your younger siblings!"
Madeline did not know what to say. It seems like Philip is desperate for more grandchildren…
"I want younger sisters." Joel's big, watery eyes turned into crescents as he smiled. "I hope that Daddy and Mommy can give birth to two younger sisters. One for me and one for Aldo!"
Madeline was taken aback. Gosh, son. Your daddy and I can only give birth to a younger sister, not a play doll. How can you each have one?
"A baby girl would be nice!" Philip chuckled. "But so is a boy. Let your parents give birth to two younger
brothers and let them play with you! First, they can give birth to younger brothers, then a younger sister. That would be the best!"
Not knowing what to say, Madeline remained quiet. How many children does he want me and Sebastian to have? So stressful!
"Relax. Dad's just joking." Sebastian leaned in and whispered in her ear, "We'll just let nature take its course. If you want to have more children, we'll have more. If you don't, Quincy and Joel are enough."
She answered softly, "I do want more children."
Not only was Philip urging her to have more children, but her two sons were also looking forward to having a younger sister.
Although it was not up to her to determine the gender of the baby, there was still a fifty percent chance as long as she was willing to give it a try.
Moreover, the Hart Family did not have many descendants, and Philip wished more than anything to have more grandchildren. Since he was kind to her and she had nothing to repay him with, she was willing to make his wishes come true.
With her head slightly lowered, her fair skin and jade-like neck made her look like the most beautiful being to ever exist. Even her voice sounded pleasant, like the flowing streams from the mountain.
Sebastian looked at her with a smile on his face and could not stop himself from caressing the back of her head. "Good girl."
Even though she had her head lowered, she could still feel the warmth in his eyes as a fuzzy feeling began to fill her heart. Not holding back anymore, she raised her head to smile at him. At that moment, her sweet smile gave Sebastian the urge to pull her into his arms and kiss her, but he forced himself to hold back that tendency.
Sigh! My friends are right. I must be the son of God, that's why I am so lucky to have married such a wonderful wife.
Before he met Madeline, he thought he would end up alone his entire life. After all, he never felt anything for other women. Although he and Ann were childhood friends who grew up together and she had put in a lot of effort to please him for so many years, he bore no feelings for her.
Truth be told, he thought he would never develop feelings for any woman. At last, he realized that it was not the case; he just had not met Madeline.
Once she appeared, it was like an unstoppable volcanic eruption.
Recalling last night's intimate session, the warmth in his eyes became fiery and the smile on his lips became even wider.
Huh?
What's the matter? The day has just begun and I'm already looking forward to the night.
Euphoria.
The person who came up with that word is too talented. That word completely describes what I'm feeling right now!
Though he was very eager to do what he wished, he knew it was not the right time as his father and two uncles were present. Therefore, he quickly discarded those wild thoughts and sat beside his father. "Dad, is there anything happening tonight?"
"Nothing." Philip replied, "You can go ahead and continue with your business. It's not often that your two uncles come home, so you can ask them for help with any problems you have with the family business. The most important task you have now is to bear more children and expand the Hart Family… By the way, aren't you guys going on a honeymoon? When will you be leaving?"
A honeymoon! What a great idea. By then, they will be stuck to each other like spoons to honey. If they stay together every day, maybe they'll get pregnant someday! Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
This time, it was Sebastian's turn to be speechless. I keep having the feeling that ever since I got married, I've become a breeder pig in my dad's eyes… Bruh! No! How can I ridicule myself? Does a breeder pig as handsome as me even exist?
After snorting at himself inside, he answered, "Maddie and I will be heading back to her home three days later, then we'll leave for our honeymoon. If there's nothing planned tonight, we are hoping to invite some of our friends to a meal."
Sebastian looked at her with a smile on his face and could not stop himself from caressing the back of her head. "Good girl."
"Sure," Philip agreed. "You and Maddie can go about your business. Your uncles and I will be at home,
so there's nothing you need to be worried about."
Hearing that, Madeline could not help but laugh in secret. She had discovered a long time ago that although Philip always complained about Sebastian, he would still pamper his son and agree to almost everything Sebastian said when it came to real issues.
Of course, Sebastian was also a filial son.
Meanwhile, Patrick and Paul were also reasonable and caring people who loved Sebastian, Quincy, and Joel with all their hearts.
Indeed, she was lucky to have married into such a loving family! In the future, I must care for them, work hard, and earn a lot of money to support this family!
That night, Sebastian and Madeline went to Club Tempest to treat their childhood playmates and friends to a meal.
Madeline's friends were basically the employees of her office. Her social circle was limited, and besides the employees at her office, she only had Caitlin as a friend.
She and Caitlin got along with each other well, but Caitlin had been traveling all around the world to find witnesses that could prove her father's innocence. Therefore, she had not officially joined Oasis Law Office.
That was why Leigh was desperately trying to get Caitlin, who was now a supernumerary staff member, to become a member of the Oasis Law Office as well.
That afternoon, Sebastian had asked Madeline whether they should gather all their friends inside one private room or two that night. After giving it some thought, Madeline decided to take two private rooms.
The employees at her law office were of a different social status than Sebastian's childhood friends. While his friends could be described as 'royalty', the employees at her law office could be described as 'outsiders'.
It was fine for both groups to get to know each other and have a toast, but they could not be themselves if both groups were put together.
When she said to book two private rooms, Sebastian ended up preparing two adjoining private rooms —one for his childhood friends and the other for Madeline's friends.
At this moment, Leigh was sitting beside Caitlin while trying to persuade her, "Now that the truth has been exposed, the revenge you were after is considered taken, so are you planning to continue wondering about the world outside? Don't you think staying at the office is a good choice? Leah, you stay too. That way, we'll become the four musketeers of the Oasis Law Office. When the strong unite, nothing is invincible!"
