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! I’m not angry, I’m not angry, I’m not angry… She repeated that to herself many times before speaking to him again. “Since you knew that my uncle had been scammed by Bryan, why didn’t you tell him about it earlier?”

so long, 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.

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 the Taylor Family, he allowed Isabel and Phoebe to continue bullying you. It’s fortunate that Sam came back from his overseas studies—he’s the only one with enough of a conscience to stop Phoebe and Isabel from abusing you. Otherwise, you might have already died in the Taylor

what can I do with my hatred?” Madeline let out an exasperated laugh. “Phoebe’s father is Dan’s savior, and Dan is my savior. Dan protects Phoebe and Isabel, and the Taylor Family took care of me. I am indebted to them, so how can I do anything to
