You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 38 Thank You, I Guess?

Sebastian beamed at Madeline, and she felt her insides fluttering as he did so. She inched toward the car door to maintain some distance from him. This man felt threatening to her, and she only felt safe when she stayed away from him!

“Why are you moving so far away from me? It’s not like I’d eat you up,” he said with a laugh.

“I’m not moving away. I’m just… I think it’s cooler by the window.” Madeline, who often thought of herself as a fearless and strong woman, was trying her best to maintain her dignity in that situation.

“Fine.” He nodded. “You’re not shying away from me at all!” Despite saying so, his expression clearly indicated that he thought she was overreacting. I’m just going to play along with you because I’m the bigger person, his expression seemed to say.

Madeline was silent for a while. Why is it so troubling to be with this guy? Why does he have to be my sons’ biological father, and why can’t I ever defeat him? I wish I could beat him up!

So, Sebastian is only bad to my uncle because he’s angry on behalf of me and my sons? An unfamiliar feeling circled around her chest—she couldn’t entirely describe what she felt, but it was a mixture

and this was the first time someone stood up for them. All sorts of complicated emotions spread across her chest as she gazed at the man before her. “Thank you…” She wasn’t good with words, so she couldn’t think of anything else to say to him right then. If I have the chance to do it, I have to be nicer to him, in the future. Even though he seems rather… intimidating, he’s still really nice to Joel, Quincy and me. He fights for us. Whatever he said about my uncle earlier was also his way of protecting us. He told my uncle to contact him instead of me, so that my uncle wouldn’t trouble me.

things are a mess between me and my uncle’s families. Although my uncle has never loved me as a true family member, Dan saved my life, and the Taylor Family was the one who brought me up. Sam even helped me hire a good teacher to teach me martial arts… In other words, I wouldn’t be the person I

The more Nigel hated you, the more Dan wanted you around to annoy Nigel…” Sebastian leaned back into a comfortable position in his seat as he continued speaking in a calmer voice. “After keeping you in
