CHAPTER 505
Madeline fully believed Sebastian's words.
There was no need to wait until she gave birth to a daughter. He was already spoiling their two sons rotten.
It was fortunate that she had taught the two children well. Otherwise, his enthusiastic pampering of the children would have produced two little trouble-making monsters instead!
They stayed at the Wendel Residence for three days.
Those three days were pleasant, and nothing untoward occurred during that period.
In the meantime, the mother-and-daughter relationship between Madeline and Crystal grew stronger.
Although their relationship differed slightly from other mothers and daughters, they each considered the other party an important person in their lives. But, more importantly, they knew they loved and cared for each other.
For a person living in this world, the act of loving others and being loved, as well as caring for others and being cared for, would give them a sense of security and happiness in their lives.
Her sense of security and happiness more than doubled, thanks to her family and her mother's unconditional love.
Even if she had married into another family and could not meet her family often, her heart would be filled with satisfaction and peace as long as she knew that she had a family in Wendel City who loved
her unconditionally. Plus, a place that would welcome her back at any time and under any circumstances.
In life, one's familial bonds, romantic relationships, and friendships were indispensable.
Even if her in-laws were perfect, there was no denying that her in-laws could not replace a loving family of her own.
After they had stayed there for three days, they departed.
Crystal held her daughter's hand with a grudging expression and repeatedly reminded her, "Maddie, you will always have a home here. If you encounter something upsetting, you need to tell me. You can come home immediately if you are wronged or encounter difficult obstacles. No matter what happens, I will always be on your side!"
"Okay!" Madeline was also reluctant to part with her mother. Instead, she hugged her mother gently. "Mom, I will bring the children to visit you again when I return."
After she and Sebastian returned to Dusktown, they would rest for a day before departing for their honeymoon.
"Alright." Crystal patted Madeline. "Remember to stay longer next time." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Madeline nodded. "I understand, Mom."
The mother and daughter bid a reluctant farewell to each other, then Madeline and Sebastian left
Wendel City with their two children.
After they returned to Dusktown, they brought the children back to the Hart Manor.
They spent the entire day with Philip, Patrick, and Paul at the Hart Manor. Then, on the morning of the third day, they left Dusktown with their bodyguards in tow and rushed to the first stop of their honeymoon—Moon Bay.
Moon Bay was located in the south. It was a place Joel had seen on TV, and the TV program depicted Moon Bay as the mesmerizing land of fairies on Earth.
He had immediately fallen in love with this place after watching the TV program and constantly mentioned his desire to visit Moon Bay.
Therefore, Sebastian had taken his son's desires to heart. After he discussed this with Madeline, he decided that the first stop of their honeymoon would be Moon Bay.
Moon Bay and Dusktown were separated by thousands of miles, so they arrived in the afternoon even though they set off on their journey in the morning.
Nevertheless, it was indeed a lovely place.
Their private plane landed at the private airport of a holiday resort near Moon Bay.
When they walked out of the private airport, Quincy and Joel were not the only ones wholly charmed by the beautiful scenery around them. Even Madeline couldn't help sighing in amazement, "How beautiful."
It was probably due to the large distance between Moon Bay and Dusktown that even the seasons were different at these two places.
At this time of the year, Dusktown was already experiencing late autumn. However, Moon Bay seemed to be at the peak of summer.
There were bright flowers and green grass everywhere. The surrounding mountains seemed to stretch out into the horizon at first glance, and the sea was the kind of crystal blue that could only be seen in pictures.
The blue sea was also tinged with a hint of emerald, like crystal clear jade. Moreover, it was so clear that they were tempted to scoop up a handful of water just to check the coolness and purity of the water.
"It's so beautiful, Mommy!" Joel was practically bouncing in his excitement.
Moon Bay is the place I chose! I'm so good at making decisions! This place is so beautiful! It's like heaven on Earth!
"You're right. It's so beautiful!" Madeline admired the surrounding scenery, utterly intoxicated by the incredible sight. "No wonder it is always said that traveling thousands of miles is better than reading tens of thousands of books! The sceneries in the books are stunning, but to experience such amazing sights in person would be far more impactful!"
It was so gorgeous that one could only sigh in amazement and awe. Their entire body and mind were immersed in the beautiful scenery, causing them to become reluctant to leave this place.
"Daddy!" Joel grabbed Sebastian's hand with one hand and pointed at the distant mountain with the other hand. "Can we stay there tonight? I want to go camping at the top of the mountain and admire the stars!"
"Okay!" Sebastian immediately agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Madeline was speechless by his tendency to do whatever his sons wanted.
I really need to do something about his habit of pampering the children. No matter how well I taught them in the past, he will surely spoil my children rotten at this rate!
"I'm afraid tonight is impossible!" Madeline caressed Joel's hair. "We're all tired today, so we need a good night's rest at the hotel. Let's get ready tomorrow so that we can climb the mountain and stay overnight at the top of the mountain.
Sebastian paused for a moment before he said, "That's right. Mommy is right. We need to stay at the hotel tonight. We can go camping tomorrow night."
He had immediately fallen in love with this place after watching the TV program and constantly mentioned his desire to visit Moon Bay.
When his son grabbed hold of his hands with those soft and small hands and then called him 'Daddy' so sweetly, his rational mind had been swept away by his raging emotions. Even if his son had asked for the stars in the sky, he would have tried to pluck them for him. That was why he agreed without even thinking.
Besides, it was no problem at all for his competent subordinates to prepare everything for them to go camping at the top of the mountain on such short notice. It would only be a little tiring for them.
Still, they were here for a holiday and not to carry out their duties. So, there was no need for them to get so exhausted over something like that.
"Okay!" Joel nodded obediently.
As long as he could go camping at the top of the mountain to look at the stars, it did not matter whether they did it tonight or tomorrow night.
"What a good boy!" Sebastian bent down, scooped Joel into his arms, and kissed his cheeks with a loud smack. Then, he smiled at Madeline as he bragged proudly. "Aldo and Buddy are such good and sensible boys. I always see other children throwing a tantrum and breaking down in hysterics whenever they don't get what they want, but Aldo and Buddy have never done that."
"That's because we have the best parents in the world!" Joel held Sebastian's face in his soft and small hands, smiling so wide that his eyes turned into little crescents. "Our parents are the best! You give Aldo and I everything that we could possibly want, so we don't even have the chance to throw a tantrum or break down in hysterics!"
Quincy nodded in agreement. "Yeah." After a pause, he added, "Throwing a tantrum, being unreasonable, and breaking down in hysterics is childish!"
Sebastian couldn't even say anything as his heart was bursting with fatherly pride.
He held Joel in one hand; he ruffled Quincy's head with his other hand and laughed happily.
My precious sons!
Relationships between people were born from spending time together and getting to know each other.
Hence, if it was said that he only became acquainted with the children at the beginning due to his blood ties with them and his responsibility as a father, then his current feelings for the two children stemmed from a love that came from the bottom of his heart. It was the emotion accumulated over a long period of knowing each other.
Sometimes, an inexplicable thought would enter his heart whenever he looked at the two children— These two children are my life. They are not the continuation of my life. On the contrary, they are more important than my own life!
It was an extremely mysterious feeling. Just by watching them eat, sleep, and play, his heart was filled with an overflowing sense of peace and happiness.
His life had become more exciting and meaningful thanks to their very existence.
This feeling was absolutely fantastic! He could really get used to this!
