You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 65 Is He Talking to Me?

Michael and Jonathan gazed at the two boys attentively. Jonathan could still keep his cool, but Michael was completely mesmerized by the boys’ cuteness. At Michael’s age, it was normal to be fond of children, especially when these children were gorgeous kids who were biologically related to him. He pulled both the boys into his arms and gave them a tight hug.

Philip wasn’t pleased to see this. He had just found his two precious grandchildren, and he hadn’t had enough time with them. How could the kids’ maternal grandfather just show up to steal them away from him? This guy sure has some nerve! Philip shot Sebastian an angry glare. Sebastian felt rather helpless. It wasn’t as if a rock could’ve given birth to Madeline. There were a lot of things that they could control, but they couldn’t stop Madeline from having biological parents, could they? Philip was even more annoyed when Sebastian didn’t respond to him. I can’t depend on anyone else but myself! Hmph!

After giving Sebastian another glare, Philip turned to Joel and Quincy with a smile. “Come over to your grandpa, Joel and Quincy.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The boys were naturally closer to Philip than they were to Michael. So, when Philip called for them, they immediately slipped out of Michael’s arms before running over to Philip. Philip beamed as he held one grandson in each arm. He even gave Michael a smug look.

Michael was speechless. Is this the capable, bold, and undefeated Old Mr. Hart? He… doesn’t seem like who I expected him to be! He’s so… childish! Regardless, it was true that Philip was a famous businessman that Michael couldn’t afford to mess with. Since Michael didn’t dare to come face to face with Philip, he could only avoid Philip’s smug look before lowering his gaze to look at the two kids in Philip’s arms.

Anyone who had eyes could tell that Philip was extremely fond of the boys. Michael felt extremely conflicted. He understood why his daughter wasn’t interested in the Wendels’ wealth. Her two sons were the only grandchildren in the Hart Family, and they were the only two who were the third generation of the family. Furthermore, both of the kids were witty and adorable—anyone would be fond of kids like them. If things went according to plan, these two boys would own the Hart Family someday. As the mother of these two sons, Madeline was certainly going to enjoy an endless supply of luxury and wealth in the future. What was the Wendel Family’s worth in comparison to the Hart Family’s?

Despite this, Michael truly believed that Madeline wasn’t a woman who cared about wealth. He didn’t know her that well, but Sam knew her well enough. Sam once said that Madeline was a kind girl who valued loyalty. She was a good woman. If only I had kept an eye on my daughter and not allowed Cameron to steal her away… If my daughter hadn’t been stolen, then I wouldn’t be caught in such a tough position between her and Angie.

Michael understood that he would only receive unconditional love from Madeline if he was able to show her the same amount of love. If he could only offer Madeline half the love he had, it would be greedy of him to ask her to love him at full capacity. Yet, he couldn’t bear to watch Angie’s reputation being ruined. And his wife… He didn’t know if his wife could handle the fact that Angie wasn’t their biological daughter…

Michael was worried about his wife’s health and Angie’s future. This reduced the amount of joy he felt toward finding his biological daughter. He was deeply troubled, but he forced a smile anyway. Madeline could sense this. “Actually… You don’t have to force anything. I’m not in a rush, so I can go home once you feel ready for it,” she uttered. She was way past the age of needing her parents.

She was a grown woman, and Michael and Crystal were getting old. In the future, it’d be her turn to take care of Michael and Crystal. If Michael wasn’t willing to acknowledge her as a daughter, Madeline wouldn’t be driven to seek her parents just to care for them.

Michael froze for a moment before clarifying himself. “No, I don’t feel pressured at all. I’m so glad to have found you, and I can’t wait to bring you home so that our family can reunite. I’m just worried about your mother’s heart. She can’t get too emotional, so I’m afraid her heart might cause her problems if she gets too excited upon meeting you.”

“Then, should we slow things down and wait for Mom to get better before I go home?” Madeline asked in a concerned tone.

“It’s fine. Your mother’s heart is fine now, but she just can’t handle surprises. This won’t change no matter how long we wait,” Michael explained.

“In that case… I know a doctor who’s really skilled, but she’s not in Dusktown now. Why don’t I get her to come over before I bring her along to meet my mom?” Madeline suggested.

“It’s fine. We have a family doctor at home.” Michael felt guilty to see how thoughtful Madeline was. “Don’t worry, Madeline. I’ll take good care of your mom, and I’ll make sure she’s fine.”

“That’s good.” Madeline nodded. She had a really good impression of Crystal. In the past, during her worst days with the Taylor Family, there had been times when Isabel brought some of their distant relatives to beat Madeline up. Crystal happened to catch them in action. Although Crystal thought of Madeline as Cameron’s daughter back then, she still scolded Isabel and the others before helping Madeline and telling the family doctor to treat Madeline’s wounds.

Crystal was a gorgeous, elegant, and kind woman, so Madeline didn’t want anything bad to happen to her. They all chatted for a while more as they waited for the private jet to be prepared.

Michael got on the Wendel Family’s private jet. Nigel still had some matters to settle, so he didn’t travel with them. Instead, he planned for him, Sam, and Dan to take a private flight directly from the Taylors Residence.

Sebastian brought Madeline and his two sons to his own jet. Philip’s identity didn’t allow him the luxury of traveling wherever he pleased, so he had to stay in Dusktown. Before sending the two children onto the plane, Philip eyed them longingly as he reminded Sebastian and Madeline to return home soon. Madeline nodded earnestly. Sebastian promised that he would bring the family home soon since his home and his father were there in Dusktown. “Do you think I want to stay with the Wendels in Wendel City as their live-in son-in-law?” he muttered to Philip.

Despite this, Philip still teared up as he watched Quincy and Joel getting on the plane. Sebastian felt rather annoyed to see this. Back then, when I traveled overseas for my studies, I don’t recall my dad being so sad when I left! I guess it’s true when they say that grandchildren have a special spot in their grandparents’ hearts!

Madeline felt especially touched when she saw Philip tearing up. Throughout the years, Madeline and her sons had only received a limited amount of love from others. She cherished Philip a lot since it was rare for someone to offer so much love to her sons. She didn’t know how she could repay the old man. She tugged on Quincy and Joel’s arm, telling them to wave to Philip. “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll bring Quincy and Joel home to you really soon.”

This time, Michael was the one who felt uncomfortable witnessing their interactions. After having such a long chat with Madeline, he had yet to hear her call him ‘Dad’. Why does she talk to Old Mr. Hart in such a sweet manner? I want to hear her calling me her dad too!

Philip nodded and waved at his two grandsons while speaking to Sebastian. “Take care of my grandsons and their mother, you stinky brat. If I hear of them being bullied out there, I’m going to make life hard for you once you’re back!”

Sebastian was speechless. Is it appropriate for my dad to call me a stinky brat in front of my wife and sons?

Michael was just as speechless. Is Old Mr. Hart indirectly referring to me? He is, isn’t he?
