‘When he was overseas, he did not harbor any intentions towards this single mother who had a child with her.

However, by chance, they became partners. During their interactions, this woman’s intelligence, tenacity, courage, and the mysterious air about her attracted him bit by bit, causing him to fall in love with her.

Madeline looked down and shook her head bitterly. “I’m sorry, I don’t want to think about a relationship right now.”

It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered Favian.

This man was gentle and strong, and someone that she could rely on.

However, his family indeed minded the difference between them.

“I’s okay. I’ll always be waiting for you.” The gentle but stable man was like the ocean, and his promises were as sincere and steadfast as a mountain. Seeing that Madeline still wanted to say something, he quickly changed the topic. “Right, what do you think about today’s matter?”

Madeline swallowed her words and thought about what happened today. Her expression turned cold. “I already know who the mastermind is. She really shouldn’t have framed Aurora. I won’t let her off this time.”

In the evening, at the Astor mansion.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Augustus pounded on the door with his fists, looking furious. “Hugo Astor, come out now!”

Hugo’s stubborn and cold voice sounded from within the room. “I want to go to Mommy’s house!”

Mrs. Astor, who stood beside Augustus, was feeling both anxious and angry. “My good grandson, your mother is at our house. Where do you want to go?!”
Bam! There was another loud bang from behind the door, as though something had hit it.

Hugo started screaming again, “Courtney is not my mother! I want Madeline to be my mother!”

Mrs. Astor was worried that something would happen to her precious grandson again, and she paced around anxiously. When she saw Courtney standing obediently by the side with her head lowered, she couldn’t help but lose her temper, “What kind of mother are you? What did you do to make my
grandson dislike you so much and want to acknowledge another woman as his mother?”

Courtney raised her head, and large teardrops fell. Her eyes were red as she said aggrievedly, “Mom, Hugo was fine before, but ever since he met my sister…”
Mrs. Astor was extremely revolted with Madeline, but when she saw Courtney crying aggrievedly, she was also a little irritated. “That’s enough! I really don’t know how the West Family brought the two of you up! One is vicious and the other is useless!”

Courtney stood at the side with her head lowered. When she heard this, a trace of malice and hatred flashed past her eyes.

She had tried so hard to please this heartless old woman, but she was still being reprimanded.

It was all because of this damned little b*stard!

She must find a chance to get rid of him!

Bam! Bam! Bam! A few more bangs suddenly sounded in the room, one after another, making one’s heart tighten.

Mrs. Astor was afraid that Hugo’s illness had relapsed and he was knocking his head against the wall, so she immediately tugged at Augustus’ sleeve. “Quick, think of something!”

Augustus frowned. The sound of Hugo knocking his head against the wall was like a hammer striking his heart, making it throb painfully.

Suddenly, there was silence in the room.

Mrs. Astor’s eyes widened as she anxiously knocked on the door. “Hugo? Hugo? Answer Grandma!”

Augustus’s heart tightened. He pushed Mrs. Astor away and kicked the door hard. “Hugo! Come out now! I’ll take you to Madeline’s house!”

The door shook violently, but it remained tightly shut. Augustus was about to kick it again when the door opened from the inside.

Hugo was fully dressed, and he wasn’t injured at all. His calm and dark eyes were filled with smugness from his success. “Let’s go and find my mother!”

Augustus was speechless.

Who did Hugo learn this from?

Watching the father and son leave, Courtney gritted her teeth, her nails almost sinking into her flesh.

After Mrs. Astor also left, she hid in her room and took out her phone to make a call.

“Mother…” Courtney started sobbing.

Courtney’s biological mother, Yvette Piers, hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Did that old woman and little b*stard make things difficult for you again?”

“It’s Madeline! Madeline is back!”

Yvette was shocked. “What?! Didn’t she die in that fire?!”

“Maybe something happened in the process.” Courtney’s lips were bleeding because she was too angry and had bitten her lips too hard, but she couldn’t be bothered about it. A crazed expression appeared on her face, “Mom! I want Madeline and Hugo to die! They must die!”
Thinking of how Hugo somehow acknowledged Madeline as his mother, Courtney felt a wave of panic in her heart.

If Augustus knew what she had done, she would definitely die!

“What happened?”

Courtney held back her anger and recounted the events that day to her mother.

Yvette pondered for a moment, and her sharp voice was filled with viciousness. “Don’t worry, Mother will help you get rid of those two! Madeline’s mother couldn’t defeat me, and she can also forget about defeating you!”

Courtney’s heart settled. “There’s also Favian Lewis! Why should Madeline be able to impress the heir of the Lewis family? It would be best if Madeline’s reputation was tarnished!”

“Oh right, it will be Favian’s mother’s birthday in a few days. She will definitely send an invitation to your mother-in-law. At that time, you can…”

Yvette’s voice gradually quietened and Courtney’s expression relaxed as the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with a viciousness!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three thunderous knocks on the door made Madeline, who was walking out of the kitchen with a plate in her hand, frown. Who was this? How rude!
“Coming!”

Madeline was shocked when she opened the door.

Outside the door, an expressionless Augustus was holding Hugo. The father and son were clearly still in a cold war, and their expressions were stiffer than ever.
But when Hugo saw the door open, he raised his head and grinned at Madeline. “Mommy!”

Madeline: “…”

She didn’t allow them to enter. Instead, she leaned against the door frame and raised her eyebrows. “President Astor, what are you…”

Augustus’ handsome face was cold as he threw Hugo into her arms. “He’s yours.”

Madeline instinctively caught Hugo, and in the next second, Augustus had already slid into the house from the side.

“Sigh…”

Hugo hurriedly wrapped his arms around Madeline’s neck, blinked his big eyes, and acted cute. “Mommy, I missed you so much!”

Madeline’s lips twitched as she looked away speechlessly. “I’m not your mother!”

However, she had no choice but to carry Hugo, who refused to let go of her, into the house.

Augustus scanned the house with his handsome eyes and took in the entire structure.

Although this apartment wasn’t big, it was complete. The decor was very warm and the place was clean.

There were also dozens of photos hanging on the wall; all of them were of Aurora and Madeline smiling at the camera. The mother and daughter pair were smiling brightly, and it made those who saw these photos feel happy.
Augustus studied the photos and his expression softened unconsciously.

Hugo asked, “Mommy, where’s Aurora?”

“She…”

“Hahaha, Uncle Favian, you’re so stupid! I’ve already passed this stage!”

“Tm giving in to you!”

“Tsk, you’re twisting logic!”

Two laughs, one from an adult and one from a child, came from the bedroom. Aurora’s laughter was especially arrogant.

Before Madeline could answer, Hugo had already run over. “Aurora West! I’m here!”

Augustus’ expression fell and his gaze chilled. “Favian Lewis is still here?”
