The Remorseful Brothers

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?”

Lucas replied, “Of course, it’s for both occasions, Winnie. Didn’t you notice each of us gave you two gifts? You’re our baby sister, so we can’t be stingy with you.”

Winslet smiled sweetly. “You’re the best, Lucas”

“You’re showing favoritism, Winnie: Joel’s lips curved slightly. Take a guess. If you get it wrong, we’ll be really unhappy”

The eldest brother, Harley, looked dotingly at Winslet. “If you get it wrong, we’ll take back the gifts

Thomas laughed. “You’re all grown adults. Why are you all picking on Winne

Winslet clung to Thomas and wrinkled her nose defiantly. “Humph, no way am I guessing that. I want all of them! Otherwise, I’ll tell Dad!”

Everyone roared with laughter.

As soon as she entered the house, the smiles of those in the room instantly faded.

“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.”

Madeline shook off his hand and spat, “Let me go.”

Winslet then chimed in hypocritically, “Maddie, you can’t blame them. You were too reckless. Mom and Dad had been worried sick and had not had a proper meal since. You should have come home earlier. You’re not even answering our calls and messages. We were concerned about you.”
