The Remorseful Brothers

Chapter 350

The women’s intimate clothes on the drying rack stood out prominently. It was almost impossible for Madeline not to notice them.

“I’m sleeping on the couch,” Loretta pointed to it, “Your room is off–limits, and so is Mr. Lewis’s and Mrs. Lewis’s room.”

“Even though I’m here to help you all, the treatment here is just shy of sleeping on the floor,” Loretta laughed lightly, but her eyes showed no amusement.

Gavin noticed the clothes on the drying rack and said, “Madeline, don’t get the wrong idea. She just came by last night. It was raining, and she got soaked, so I ordered some pajamas for her, didn’t touch your clothes.”

Loretta stood beside Gavin, arms crossed, watching Madeline with a teasing smile.

She wasn’t very tall, about five feet one inch, but her skin was fair, and her face was heart–shaped with gracefully arching willow–like eyebrows. Her long almond–shaped eyes added a touch of charm and allure. Her classical and elegant features looked great even with minimal makeup.

“Gavin, are you henpecked now?” Loretta’s eyes sparkled as she playfully poked the baby in the cradle. “But as far as I know, Madeline is never short of men. What are you to her? Boyfriend? Or just one of her admirers? Are you just going to quietly stay here and take care of her child without asking about her life outside? That’s too generous.”

Gavin’s smile disappeared as he said, “Loretta, don’t say things you shouldn’t say. You know whose child this is.”

Of course, Loretta knew the child was an orphan left by a former colleague. She smiled slightly and said, “But wouldn’t it be better to send the child to an orphanage?”

Madeline held the child, feeling the little fingers tugging at her hair. Her heart softened. “You don’t need to say these things here. Thomas and I are like siblings. I’m the one raising this child. If Thomas ever starts his own life, I won’t let the child be a burden to him. After all, it was my soft heart that made me keep the child. I know whose responsibility this is. As for whether the child should be sent to an orphanage, you, Ms. Larson, don’t need to worry about that. I have the means to raise a child to adulthood.”

With that, Madeline took the child and went into her room. Gavin quickly followed, dragging his suitcase into Madeline’s room, eager to be near her.
