The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 37

Thomas was not concerned about Madeline’s mood.

As long as Madeline continued to obey them, she would be considered a good daughter to him.

“Listen to your mother, and in due course, you’ll possess everything Winnie does, he assured.

For Madeline, that surely must have been like a heart–wrenching ordeal.

Fortunately, Madeline did not care.

They drove two cars out of the house.

Winslet occupied the driver’s seat, with Madeline seated beside her in the front.

In the rear, Jacob, Joel, and Lucas formed a lineup regarding Madeline with frosty countenances.

Joel cautioned, “Madeline, today marks a rare occasion for the entire family to venture out together. Let’s not court any Annecessary disruptions.”
