The man furrowed his brows and sniffed his clothing. "Since when did you have such an acute sense of smell? I only drank two glasses of wine. How did you even smell the alcohol?"

Thomas continued with his protest despite his father's dull expression. He squeezed his nose shut and made a face. "Daddy stinks! Stay away from Auntie Madeline. She smells wonderful! I'll sleep with her tonight."

Amused by her son’s attempt to annoy his father, Madeline kept silent and watched his ploy play out. She decided to defuse the tension when she saw anger clouding the man’s features.

While Thomas and Mackenzie were lively and energetic, Colton was left lying in bed in an unconscious state. If she had not left Colton with Noah, this would not have occurred.
