You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 108 Unbelievable!

“First of all, I’m different,” Madeline pointed out matter-of-factly. “I can do anything and give up everything for my kids as long as it’s in their best interests, and that includes being a spinster for life.”

“You being a spinster, while noble, is not in Aldo and Buddy’s best interests at all,” Sebastian debated. “The kids need a father figure in their lives while they’re growing up, and having both parents around is the best for kids their age. They need to know that they have a perfect family rooting for them.”

“I know that,” she said. “That is why I’m willing to go through with something as ridiculous as getting a marriage certificate with you!”

“I don’t think it’s ridiculous at all,” he countered as he gazed into her eyes. “Maddie, you keep saying how I might meet a girl I truly love someday. Has it ever crossed your mind that you might be that girl?”

“Huh?” Madeline gaped at him with wide eyes.

Sebastian chuckled. “You’re young, pretty, and capable—this makes you the cream of the crop. Also, you are the biological mother of my children, which means we’ll be seeing a lot of each other. At this rate, don’t you think something might eventually happen between us? There might be a spark.”

She was stunned by his explanation, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words. When he saw that he had rendered her speechless, he laughed and asked, “Tongue-tied all of a sudden?”

“I just…” She snapped out of her reverie and admitted hesitantly, “I never thought that would be a possibility for us.”

He raised a brow at her. “Why wouldn’t it? We wouldn’t consider being in a relationship with someone else while we’re raising the boys, and it’ll just be us two single folks hanging around at home. You won’t have your eyes on another man, and I won’t be interested in dating other women. That’s fertile ground for a possible romance to grow between us, don’t you think?”

Madeline bit her lip and said nothing. Considering that his proposal was a logical one, one might ask her why she thought that way. In truth, she didn’t think she was good enough for him.

In the past, she had never thought of herself as not being good enough for anyone, nor did she ever think about finding a man for herself just to fill the stepfather-shaped hole in Quincy and Joel’s lives. She had made up her mind about spending forever as a family of three with her two boys without ever contemplating marriage, but that was until Sebastian showed up out of the blue.

After that interlude, she found herself married to Sebastian on paper, but she never thought of herself as his wife.
