Chapter 22: Stumbling Block

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Madeline had been tricked and pushed down from the third floor of the mall by someone else. It was all thanks to Augustus, the heir of the city’s greatest family, that she was safe.

In the end, this person shamelessly claimed to be her savior to make her and her daughter move into the Astor mansion.

Just to take care of him!

Originally, it was fine for her to move in, but the two children always wanted to matchmake them both, making Madeline feel extremely awkward.

This was especially so with Hugo. From the day she moved in, he had been carrying out his goal of making Madeline his mother.

Now that he said these silly words, Madeline could only grit her teeth and reply, “Hugo, hurry up and eat. Be careful you don’t choke.”

Hugo couldn’t understand her implied meaning. Aurora, who was behind them, acted as the interpreter. “Hugo, Mom is praising you. Keep up the good work.”

Madeline shot Aurora a murderous look, which shocked her so much that she lowered her head obediently to eat. Then, she muttered to herself, “I’m so young, but I still have to bear everything alone. This is so difficult.”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but everyone at the table could hear her. Augustus couldn’t help but glance at her.

How did Madeline manage to raise such a strong daughter?

Madeline was feeling rather helpless. She could only force a smile and explain. “It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!”

After dinner, Hugo boldly dragged Madeline to her room. She initially thought that the Astor family had prepared this for her. When she saw the presidential suite-like room, her eyes widened.

“You guys are too polite, giving us such VIP treatment!”

Before Madeline could say anything else, an unfriendly voice was heard from the door. “Your room is across the hall. Hugo, do you have to force me to punish you? Don’t you know that my room is forbidden? No one is allowed in.”
It turned out that this was Augustus’ room. No wonder there was a special smell in here, an annoying smell!

However, Hugo explained logically. “Daddy and Mommy should sleep together in the first place. Also, Daddy, both of your arms are in a cast. Who is going to take off your clothes for you, who will brush your teeth later, and who will take care of you?”
After Hugo finished speaking, the whole family looked at Madeline, who was still in a daze.

In the end, Aurora added. “Congratulations, Miss West. You’ve hit the jackpot!”

Madeline turned to look at the person in question with a smile. “Mr. Astor, what do you think? Do you really need me to serve you like these two little ones said?”

Madeline had thought it through in her mind. If he really dared to nod his head, she would make use of this chance to beat him up. He couldn’t fight back anyway.

At the most, she would continue to take care of him in the future. No matter what, she had to vent this anger.

It turned out that she was worrying too early. Augustus replied coldly, “You aren’t at the stage where you can enter my room at will. Don’t even think about climbing into my bed.”

‘As soon as he said this, Madeline practically bowed to him. “Nicely said. Mr. Astor, there’s something that I can finally respect you for. Continue to maintain your cold attitude and pride. Don’t make me look down on you.”
With that, she turned around and grabbed Aurora. Afraid that Augustus would go back on his word, she ran out of the room.

Hugo, who was about to give chase, was stopped.

“Hugo, don’t go overboard. I’ve already brought this person back home for you. You should know when to stop. Also, this woman isn’t my type.”

Madeline was too difficult to control and her manners were too uncouth. She was worlds apart from Augustus, who hailed from the aristocratic Astor family.

Moreover, she was an extremely scheming woman who was full of lies. She was never within his consideration.

However, Hugo said aggrievedly, “But my mother is my type.”

Augustus had no idea that his son liked scheming women. However, as he thought about how cheerful Hugo had become, he wasn’t bothered by it.

Madeline felt like she was in a dream, spending the night in the Astor mansion. Although she hated this man, she was still very grateful to him for saving her life, so she had to repay him.

However, she was still thinking about what happened yesterday. That phone number was registered under someone else’s identity. Now that she had found the owner, she found out that the owner had lost his identification, so it had nothing to do with him.
She also investigated that shopping mall, but couldn’t find any clues as to who wanted to harm her. Could it really be Courtney?

Speak of the devil. When they were having breakfast together in the morning, Courtney arrived with bags of food, but was met with the sight of Madeline feeding Augustus breakfast.

That’s right, Madeline was feeding him personally!

Usually, he would scold her whenever she got close to him. But now, this woman was so close to him and was even feeding him personally. This was really unprecedented.

“What are you doing here?”

Augustus had always been cold and aloof. If he hadn’t been worried that his son would be mentally unstable, he would have forbidden this woman from entering the Astor family’s home.

Courtney put on a fake smile and asked awkwardly, “Of course I’m here to visit Hugo, but why are they here?”

Augustus replied coldly, “You shouldn’t be asking this question. Do you think you have the right to question me?”

‘These words simply crushed Courtney under his feet, and her heart was like a volcano erupting.

Madeline saw that Courtney’s eyes were about to pop out of her head, which showed how angry she was. Hence, she deliberately wiped Augustus’ mouth and said affectionately, “Look at the corners of your mouth. You eat like a child.”
Madeline even leaned forward, showing Courtney that she could easily get what the latter tried so hard to but still couldn’t get.

However, she did not care for it!

Courtney was about to go crazy. She gritted her teeth and stepped forward, looking at Augustus’ plastered hands and said with concern, “I heard that you were injured, so I bought some food for you. I thought that it would be inconvenient for you as well, so I wanted to move in here to take care of you and
accompany Hugo.”

Courtney had to take action. Otherwise, she would be giving Augustus to Madeline.
Before Augustus could object, Hugo spoke first. “I don’t want a bad woman like you to stay here. Leave.”

Courtney really didn’t know how she had offended this brat. She had always been very good to him, so he should at least be closer to her.

Instead, he kept calling her a bad woman. Those who didn’t know better would think that she had abused him in private.

Originally, she had spared his life in order to marry into the Astor family. Now, he had become her stumbling block. Thus, she could only get rid of this brat.

Augustus couldn’t bear to watch this any longer. “Hugo, she is your biological mother after all. Be polite to her. What you are saying now makes you look ill-mannered..”
