You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 468

Patrick and Paul were once again chortling due to Buddy's sweet remarks.

The family had a wonderful time together and the conversation went on for hours before they finally allowed Sebastian and Maddie to take the kids back to their room to rest.

Once Aldo and Buddy were asleep, Madeline said to Sebastian, "We'll leave the presents for the children and me to you for safekeeping. They're all too valuable. I don't feel right accepting them."

"Isn't it the same whether they're with me or you?" Sebastian said. "Don't forget that we're a family now. From the moment we got our marriage certificate, you became the rightful owner of half of everything I earn."

After a pause, Madeline said, "That's not necessary, you know. I can earn a living for myself."

Although she wasn't going to become a billionaire with her law office anytime soon, she was still able to take care of herself and raise the two boys as well.

"That's up to you," Sebastian said. "But as a man, it's only right that I provide for the family. You can keep your income for your individual expenditure, but you must let me provide for you and the boys. This concerns my dignity as a man."

Madeline didn't know what to say.

Well, as long as Sebastian's happy.

"Why didn't Uncle Patrick and Uncle Paul get married?" Madeline was curious. "Buddy kept complimenting them but it wasn't just empty flattery. He's right. The two of them still look young and attractive. Why don't they get married and have children?"

"Unfortunate twists of fate," Sebastian explained. "Uncle Patrick had a childhood sweetheart. Their families were of equal standing and they were fond of each other. She came from a family of police officers and she was one as well. They were already discussing marriage when things went awry while she was on a mission, where she died in the line of duty…"

"What?" Madeline gasped. "She died in the line of duty?"

"Yeah." Sebastian sighed and shook his head. "After her death, Uncle Patrick grieved for a very long time. He drowned himself in alcohol and wasted his life away. My father had to spend a lot of time and effort before he finally managed to help Uncle Patrick get back on his feet again. Still, once a person has experienced the best, it's hard to move on from that. After a love so deep and unforgettable, Uncle Patrick couldn't forget about her, and after her death, he never got involved with any other woman."

"You're right…" Madeline echoed. "Once you've experienced the best, it's hard to move on from that. After a love like that, it's hard to open up your heart to someone new."

For some people, love and marriage didn't matter all that much.

It was the case for Madeline.

Before she met Sebastian, her purpose in life was to raise her two children.

After meeting Sebastian, she knew that their marriage was the only one she'd ever have.

She hoped that they would spend the rest of their lives together, but even if they couldn't, she would not get married again.

The first reason was that marriage wasn't of great importance to her. Her children mattered the most to her.

But the second was that Sebastian was too amazing.

After being with a man as incredible as Sebastian, she believed that she would never be attracted to another man again, let alone fall in love with him.

As Sebastian said, once a person experienced the best, it was hard to move on.

There were billions of people in the world, but only one was the one.

If the one was no longer around, then the person would choose to stay single instead of making do with someone else.

There was a moment of silence as Madeline lamented the sorrowful past before asking, "What about Uncle Paul? Why didn't he get married?"

"I think that Uncle Paul was even more unfortunate than Uncle Patrick," Sebastian said. "Uncle Paul had a childhood sweetheart too. She was the younger sister of one of his best friends, and they were already engaged when she cheated on him. After breaking up with her, Uncle Paul dated a few other women, but perhaps he had been too deeply hurt, he never did take any of his subsequent relationships seriously. He kept taking things easy and never did settle down with anyone."

"What?" Madeline was taken aback. "Uncle Paul's such a fine man, though. Why did that woman cheat on him?"

Was she blind?

Even at this age, Paul was still a tall and handsome man with a distinguished and sophisticated air about him. Everyone could see that he was an outstanding man in excellent shape and came from a privileged background. He would've been a very attractive man when he was younger.

Why would his girlfriend cheat on such an excellent man?
