Madeline frowned at his words. “The party downstairs is still going on?”

She thought, ‘After everything that just happened, my husband and my son should’ve ended he party right away to protect Noel and Olivia’s reputations.

The birthday girl is still here. How could the party end?”

Madeline was displeased inside, eyeing him warily. “Are you here because of Natasha?”

Madeline thought, ‘If anyone didn’t want the engagement to go through and could set up something like this, it must be Natasha.

She is always so rebellious and resentful toward us.’
