Chapter 120

Madeline was taken aback by Colton's question.

She asked warily, "Do you want me to be your mother, Colt?"

Her heart was pounding frantically.

She had been gone for five years, causing Colt so much pain in the Quincy household. She wasn't sure if Colt would forgive her for being such an irresponsible mother.

"It is what it is. In this case, I sincerely hope that you are my mother, but hoping is pointless." Colton looked at Madeline, concerned about her intelligence.

"What if" and "hope" are two completely different things, so how can one use the same yardstick for both?

How foolish!

"Um... In that case, I'm your mother..." Madeline fought herself for a long time before deciding to tell the truth and face the consequences.

Colton was a bright kid who could be stubborn. She was afraid she would be easily exposed if she was not honest with him this time.

It would be too humiliating for her to be slapped in the face by then!

"Are you really my mother?" Although Colton's small face remained grave, the excitement and heightened arousal in his eyes revealed his current state of mind.

"Yes..." Madeline lowered her head in shame, like a child who had done something wrong, as she revealed who she truly was.

"Is the little chatterbox from before your son? He looks almost identical to me. Is he my brother?"

"Yes, he is. You have not only a younger brother but also a younger sister named Mackenzie..."

"How come you only took them away?" It clearly hurt Colton, but he forced himself to bear it.

He appeared to be furious with himself from the way his fists were tightly balled up.

Madeline's heart hurt so much after seeing Colt like this that she found breathing difficult. She leaned in to hug him, but he dodged her.

Madeline broke down in tears when she saw that.

"I'm sorry, Colt. It's all my fault. I had no idea you existed before. I should have looked into it more thoroughly. I should have returned to look for you... I'm truly sorry..."

Madeline wept bitterly, and her heart was instantly filled with guilt.
