The family took quite a bit of a walk.

They actually circled the entire Acocester University.

Meanwhile, Madeline was not useless

When they took photos of the whole family, Madeline was the photographer.

Layla looked at the photo and was very satisfied. “What a beautiful family photo. Send it to me later, Winnie. I want to post it on Instagram.”

Winslet smiled and replied, “Maddie, do you want to take a picture, too? Let me take one for you. Take one with our brothers.

By the time they got home, it was already past eight in the evening.

Madeline was exhausted.

There were several phone calls on Madeline’s phone, and they were all from the company.

After Madeline had taken a shower, Thomas came to see her out of the blue. “Maddie, come see me at my study,”

Madeline looked at her father and replied, “Okay.”

It turned out that Layla and Thomas were both waiting for Madeline in the study.

When Madeline stepped out of her room, she noticed the provocative and malicious smile on Winslet’s face, who was drinking water in the corridor.

It was quiet in the study, and Thomas seemed solemn
