Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was known that this man, the head of the top aristocratic family in Washington, was a man who was cold as ice and didn’t get close to women. But now, he was here, cleaning her house.

Madeline could not believe her eyes and so she hurriedly rubbed them to clear her vision.

Augustus might not look like himself right now, but the two troublemakers beside him were real.

Especially Aurora, who showed her two neat rows of pearly white teeth. She smiled and shouted, “Mom, look at how hardworking Dad is. I helped you find a diligent husband. Aren’t you touched?”

Madeline almost rushed forward to pull her ear. She replied angrily, “Don’t spout nonsense. I’m not fated to be married to such a person. Why would he fall for a scheming woman like me?”

These two had just exchanged some harsh words two hours ago, so in a certain sense, they were still enemies.

Of course, what made Madeline even angrier was the pile of rubbish, the broken glass, as well as the plants that she bought recently, on the ground.

Madeline took a deep breath and put her hands on her hips to calm herself down, so that she wouldn’t impulsively kick these people out.

Aurora, who had always understood her mother, hurriedly shouted, “Mom, calm down, calm down. Think about how wonderful this world is. Your daughter is the world’s number one cutie, so I’m sure you won’t hurt me, right?”
The solemn atmosphere made Hugo fearful. He echoed Aurora. “Mommy, don’t be angry. We really just wanted to help you clean up.”

Madeline only did one action, and that was to point at the door and shout, “Get out! Don’t let me see you and your son again. My small place can’t accommodate you.”

Madeline had already started pushing them to the door, ignoring Augustus’ livid face.

All the women in the city were eager to get close to him. This was especially so for Courtney, who had wanted to climb into his bed for the past five years, but he had never looked her in the eye.

Yet, this woman despised him.

“Woman, if you’re trying to attract me using this method, then let me tell you, you’ve succeeded.”

Madeline was not in the mood to joke around with him. “Success my ass. I’m warning you now. Don’t appear in my line of sight. Take your boy and leave.”

Perhaps it was because her tone was a little harsh and she had specially mentioned Hugo, that the poor child suddenly burst into tears.

“Wah! Mommy doesn’t want me! Mommy abandoned me for five years and now she doesn’t want me again. I’m so pitiful, I’m going to become a motherless child again.”

Augustus couldn’t help but sneer. “You have a biological mother!”

“No, no. That’s a bad woman. She’s not my biological mother. My biological mother is here.”

Hugo seemed to know that he would not be able to return after leaving this time, so he sobbed piteously.

Madeline’s heart, which had been filled with anger at the start, now felt like it was being twisted by a knife. She had an inexplicable urge to go over and hug this child.

And Aurora added insult to injury, as she sighed and said, “I didn’t expect Mom to be someone who abandoned her husband and son. In the past, I even said that you were a loyal person. How could you do this?”
Abandon her husband and son?

Madeline really couldn’t control herself this time. She walked forward and twisted Aurora’s ear, then said angrily, “You little girl, how dare you accuse me?”

Aurora smiled and looked at Hugo, who was still in a daze as she explained her mother’s harsh actions. “Hugo, you’ll only get punished because she loves you. You will get used to it in the future.”

Madeline was about to be angered to death by this daughter of hers who wasn’t afraid of being beaten or scolded. Madeline was feeling desolate.

This time, the two children were crying together and they happened to be at the entrance of her house. Very soon, they attracted the attention of the neighbors and even the people next door came out.

“Hey, if your family has something to discuss, can you go back into your house? Stop crying and making a scene at the door and affecting us uninvolved people!”

Madeline was really speechless. The two people she pushed out were pulled back in by her in the blink of an eye. They were like puppets who were being manipulated by her hands.

And Hugo, who had never allowed outsiders to be near him, seemed to be possessed, as he refused to leave.

For someone who would never beg for mercy, he actually walked over pitifully and carefully pulled Madeline’s clothes. “Mommy, don’t chase me away. If you don’t like Dad, just let him go. I’m still a child.”

His words made Augustus see him in a new light. He even felt that he had raised him for nothing over the past five years. How could he push his father away so easily?

At the same time, Augustus was astonished by his son’s transformation.

His son, who had always been cold and aloof, had changed completely because of this stranger.

He even revealed a smile that he had never seen before. Did this woman really have such healing powers?

Madeline pressed her temples and calmed down. “Listen carefully now. My life has been disrupted by the both of you, and from now on, I want to return back to my original life. Go back to wherever you came from.”
Aurora, who stood behind her, shook her head and accused her mother of being cruel.

But Madeline didn’t want to have any other inexplicable feelings for Hugo, so she wanted to cut ties with him.

Besides, she hated this group of people; she didn’t want to interact with anyone related to Courtney.

Hugo knew that he was about to be chased away, so he shot Augustus a pleading look. Perhaps it was because his heartstrings had been tugged, or perhaps it was because his temperament had changed due to this woman, but Augustus made a bold choice. He decisively pushed Hugo forward.
“From today onwards, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Hugo for a while. Meanwhile, in order to repay your kindness, I will arrange for Aurora to attend Astor Corporation’s kindergarten. It’s settled then.”

It was as though he didn’t want to give Madeline a chance to reject him, because after saying this, Augustus turned around and left.

This… this person was too conceited. Why was it that everything was arranged by him? Moreover, who would give their own son to someone else? Madeline had every reason to believe that this person had ulterior motives.
‘When Madeline ran out of the door, there was no one in the street. Did that man escape in a rocket?

Madeline returned to the house angrily after failing to find Augustus. She refused to let herself be manipulated like this. How could she simply follow his arrangements? She just wanted to send this hot potato back.

However, when she walked in, she saw little Hugo carefully squatting on the ground and cleaning up the mess..
