My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 331

That morning, Gavin was hard at work. He managed to care for Grace while thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the entire house He even aired out the rooms and replaced the curtains.

Madeline sat on the couch, holding Grace, and watched Gavin, who was wearing an apron, tending to the plants on the Bakony. She rested her chin on Grace's soft head. "Grace, why is your Daddy Gavin working so hard today? Is he stressed out and trying to relieve it?" Her voice was sofi and gentle, but Gavin heard her clearly and looked up with a smile. If I'm Daddy Gavin, then what are you, Mommy Maddie?"

Sure. Madeline blinked playfully. "Being godparents works too. We may not replace her parents, but we can help out."

Gavin's smile grew even brighter than the primroses he was tending. He thought, 'If I am Daddy and Maddie is Mommy, does that make us a family? To Maddie, it seems we are already family Gavin felt his dedication was incredibly rewarding.

He said. "Grace, we'll raise you well, and one day you better come visit the old couple."

Madeline paused. "What are you thinking? Us as an old couple?"

She noticed lately that Gavin seemed enveloped in some subtle atmosphere, almost like a newlywed wife deeply in love. Madeline shook her head quickly, thinking. "No, I can't describe Gavvy like that

But, a newlywed husband might carry an added sense of responsibility, while a newlywed wife would hold soft hopes for the future. Gavin embodies that gentle hopefulness!

Madeline coughed lightly. "Gavvy, if you're tired, take a break. Don't keep pushing yourself."

"No worries, I enjoy it," Gavin replied cheerfully as he continued to hang the laundry. "Maddie, want me to wash all your clothes too? The weather's great today."
