You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 105 Shameless!

Michael added in earnest agreement, “Yes, that’s right. Finding Maddie and being reunited with her is a joyous occasion indeed! We have to throw a banquet to celebrate it and have everyone else know that Maddie is the only princess of the Wendel Family!”

Everyone in the living room sounded their hearty approval, but Nicholas was the only one who grumbled under his breath, “Having a daughter of the Wendel Family spend most of her life away from us is nothing to be proud of. The rest of high society will see us as laughing stock for sure if word of this gets out.”

He had said it in a voice barely above a whisper, but Michael heard it nonetheless.

The words cut through him like a knife. Indeed, having his daughter grow up outside the Wendel Family was nothing to be proud of at all; it only went to show how incapable he was as a father who couldn’t even protect his own daughter.

That was how he interpreted Nicholas’ pointed remark, but in truth, he was wrong. Nicholas had meant to say that someone like Madeline, who had grown up outside the gentle breeding of the Wendel Family, was not worthy of the title of the young lady of the household. However, he couldn’t have said it that bluntly, so it hadn’t come off quite as harsh as he intended.

In the end, the statement was taken out of context by Michael, who only felt more guilty toward Madeline. He became more driven to treat her with the kindness she must have missed out on all these years. It was his fault that she had to survive outside the love and care of the family, and he vowed to make it up to her.

Michael couldn’t be bothered about confronting his nephew over this, so he ignored Nicholas and brushed it off, pretending not to have heard it at all. However, he treated Madeline even more affably now and with renewed enthusiasm.

Nicholas gaped at his uncle’s behavior and shrugged. Forget it, he thought. He was the youngest in the Wendel Family next to Angie at twenty-something years old, but everyone still treated him like a child.

His words hardly carried any weight, and no one in the family ever took him seriously. He couldn’t change the way they saw him, but he knew he could take charge of his own life and make his own judgment.

He reached an arm around Angie’s shoulders and gave her a comforting squeeze. “Don’t worry, Angie. You still have me, and I’ll keep you safe forever. No one will hurt you as long as I’m here!”
