Chapter 94 Again
He noticed Madeline’s polite behavior, and the others had too. Michael felt a bit crestfallen, but he knew that Madeline’s attitude was expected. They had never raised her for even a day in her life, and ever since she came to their house, she never enjoyed a moment of peace. He failed to give her the warmth of a family and a father’s love, so he had no right to ask her to treat them as family. But we have time. Now that she’s back, we can get along and eventually have her open up to us if we open up to her. We’ll be a real family eventually.

She rose to her feet and told Michael, “Dad, the boys are awake. I’m going to see them.”

Madeline nodded. “Okay, Dad.”
Sebastian put his cutlery down and got up too. “I’ll go too.”
