My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 34

Meanwhile, at the Larson residence, Thomas sat on the couch with his five sons around him.

There was a pile of fancy gifts on the coffee table.

Winslet sat in the middle of them, wearing a new branded dress like a little princess.

She enjoyed being the center of everyone's attention and admiration.

"Are all these gifts to celebrate my going to school or my discharge from the hospital?"

"Well, I finally managed to bring this young lady back. She doesn't treat us as a family at all. You have no idea how harsh her words were just now." Layla proceeded to sit on the couch and sip some coffee. "Luckily, Benjamin was with me. Otherwise don't think I'll be able to bring her back."

Benjamin dragged Madeline forcefully and felt sorry for treating her that way. "If Madeline came back with us willingly. things wouldn't have gone out of hand."
