Willam stood in front of the window. Thinking about the look on Madison's face, he felt a tightness in his chest and was uneasy.
It surprised William that Madison was thanking him.
As his daughter, Madison was supposed to be raised with love and care. But she was starved to the point of gelling a stomach problem.
Ever since he found out that Rebecca wasn't his biological daughter, he'd been worried that Madison might come back and give Rebecca a hard time. Right then, it struck William that what if Madison and Rebecca had never switched in the first place? not regretfully, there was no undoing the past
Tanya pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. She sighed and said, "Becky is feeling a little down."
"she's been the only one spoiled by us since she was little. With Maddie around, she might have trouble adjusting "They had raised for over 20 years, so they had a strong attachment to her. William nodded in agreement. "Becky is still well-bened. She-
Right as they were talking, the sound of a car engine starting up suddenly came from outside.
When William opened the window to have a look, he saw Rebecca's sports car disappearing into the night.
He furrowed his brows. "Where is she going? Didn't we agree to have a family dinner together?"
Tanya had no idea. She asked the maids and came back with an answer. "Becky told the maid to notify us that ende urgently needs to see her."
Just as they were talking, the phone downstairs suddenly rang Willem's expression noticeably darkened
After a while, David came up and said, "Mr. Ethan and Mr. Jason said they have matters to attend to and won't be coming back. They asked me to let you know about it." William scoffed. He immediately pulled out his phone and started dialing
No one answered-neither on nor Ethan picked up..
He clenched his teeth and coldly grunted, "They've got some nerve. If they're so tough, they should never show their faces here again."
William knitted his brows together and looked outside.
Standing at the side, Tanya chimed in, "This has absolutely nothing to do with Becky""
As she spoke, she couldn't bring herself to continue
She knew Ethan and Jason pretty well. They wouldn't have backed out at the last minute if it weren't for Bebera
"Becky is feeling upset because Harvey lectured her yesterday. She's never been scolded like that before."
"Is she upset over that? What about the hardships and mistreatment Madison faced growing up? William remarked before shutting his mouth.
Madison and Rebecca were their daughters. One was biological, and the other had been raised by them for many years,
Tanya glared at William. "Thank goodness Becky isn't around. Becky would be devestated if she heard you. Everything is that woman's fault. What does it have so do with Becky?"
that night, Harvey returned home and saw the table filled with dishes, but only William and Tonys were sitting in the empty dining room.
Taking off his coat, he asked, "Where's Maddie?"
"She's still upstairs. We havn't invited her over yet."
Tanya walked up to Harvey and softly mentioned that Rebecca and the others weren't home.
Harvey's expression darkened. He pulled out his phone and called their number one by one. Either their phone was tuned off, or no one answered.
He coldly noted and put away his phone." they're not coming back, then so be it. Let's ext"
Seeing how upset Harvey was, Tanya decided it wasn't the right time to defend Rebecca She asked, "Why don't you get Maddie to join us?" William and Tanya just couldn't bring themselves to do it.
On their way home, they made a promise to have a family dinner together and make peace.
Who would've thought that Rebecca would leave the house? Ethan and Jason weren't coming back, either. What a handful bunch!
Harvey went to get Madison "Becky, Ethan, and Jason are busy, so they can't make it."
When Harvey met Madison's clear, bright eyes, he couldn't bring himself to lie, "Don't worry. When they come back, Ewill make things right for you.
Each of them deserved a good beating While Harvey couldn't hat Rebecca, he wasn't going to hesitate to teach then and Jason a lesson.
Madison couldn't help but giggle at the sight of Harvey clenching his teeth. "I'll count on you to stand up for me, Harvey."
Harvey breathed a sigh of relief He was happy that Madison wasn't sad.
Tanya pita lot of effort into dinner. She thoroughly went over the doctor's instructions and supervised the chef in making the dishes. She wanted to make sure that every de and seasoning was leon Madison's stomach
Although there weren't many people at dinner, this was the most lively meal Madison had enjoyed since the reunited with the Locke family
Tanya would pass Madison the dishes from time to time and meticulously explain how each dish was prepared.
Though Willam was quiet, he was good at serving Madison the dishes she enjoyed.
