Madeline, who had just walked out of the kitchen, rushed forward and placed the bowl of cereal she had just poured out in front of him. “Augustus Astor, what are you doing?! That bowl is min
However, the two children opposite her were overjoyed. “Oh my, Daddy and Mommy shared an indirect kiss!”

“That’s so sweet, we’re seeing these lovey dovey moments from a young age!”

“Shut up!” shouted the two of them at the same time. Madeline looked at Augustus with disdain, who was also stunned, and impatiently pulled her bowl over.

Augustus was known for his obsession with cleanliness, and he had never liked to touch others’ things. However, when he found out that he had eaten Madeline’s leftover cereal, there were no fluctuations in his emotions.
If he was in the Astor mansion or in the office, his utensils and even his daily necessities were not to be used by anyone else.

Otherwise, the outcome would be terrible.

However, now that he had eaten her leftovers, he didn’t feel upset. Instead, he felt a little delighted.

However, before he could rejoice, he saw Madeline bringing the bowl back to the kitchen disdainfully, and even making a dissatisfied sound.

“It’s not like he’s a child. Shouldn’t he take a look before eating?”

Augustus, who was sitting at the dining table, had never felt so aggrieved before. He hadn’t even had the chance to reprimand her, yet she had already given him the cold shoulder. His feelings were complicated.

What was most hateful was that he didn’t despise her, so why should she despise him?

What made him embarrassed was that he couldn’t show the grievance and anger in his heart, because he was in the wrong.

On the other hand, the two little children were obediently eating their food, trying to avoid being implicated.

Augustus was filled with resentment.

After breakfast, Augustus took the two children away. Madeline was worried and followed them until she saw Aurora happily following Hugo into the kindergarten building.

“It’s the parents who can’t leave their children, not the children who can’t leave their parents. You’d better calm down. After Aurora goes in to play for two days, she might even forget about you.”

Madeline had clearly felt disappointed after sending her daughter to school, but instead of consoling her, Augustus had added insult to injury.

Augustus had put in a lot of effort to get back at her.

However, Madeline smiled and said, “You’re right. No wonder Hugo forgot about you, his father. It’s because he was sent to the Astor family’s kindergarten. In that case, I have to reconsider whether Aurora should attend this kindergarten.”
She had completely crushed Augustus and made him gnash his teeth in anger. This woman had touched a sore spot and deliberately used his words against him.

Seeing that he couldn’t speak, Madeline shrugged. “Since everything is ready, I should go back to work.”

However, just as she turned around, he stopped her. “Don’t forget my three meals!”

Madeline frowned. “The children are not home at noon. Why would you come?”

Augustus had suffered in silence for the entire morning. He had to do something to make himself look better, so he strode forward with a teasing smile.

“Naturally, I want to spend time alone with you!”

“I think it’s very likely that you forgot to take your medicine when you went out. If you have a problem with your heart, it’s better to go see a doctor.”

Madeline couldn’t be bothered with him, but after she took two steps away, she heard someone say, “Five million!”

His words seemed to have a magical power, which made Madeline turn around immediately and look like she was forced to do business. Fortunately, she had gone through professional training, so she smiled warmly.

“President Astor, please tell me what you want to eat. Whether it flies in the sky or runs on the ground, including whether it swims in the water, I can’t really cook it, but as long as you’re willing to lower your status and come to my home, I have no objections.”
Augustus really had to admire this woman, but he didn’t feel as disgusted as before. After some thought, he said, “I have a meeting today. You can send it to the office later.”

This arrangement would undoubtedly send Madeline to her death. Besides, she had a feeling that Augustus had made such an arrangement to take revenge on her.

“Tm sorry, President Astor. If you want to force me, I can take Aurora out now. You don’t have to worry.”

Money was very important, but her self-esteem was more important. If it weren’t for the fact that she would die if she spent that sum of money, Madeline wouldn’t have to suffer over such a small matter.

Besides, if she were to compromise this time, this d*mn b*stard would use other things to threaten her in the future. So after weighing the pros and cons, it was time for them to go home and mind their own business.

Augustus didn’t believe that she would be so proud. None of the women around him had ever been so proud in front of him.

Therefore, he said firmly, “If you say so, I have no objections. You can pick her up now.”

Good! She was going against him!

If Madeline was someone who would give in easily, she wouldn’t have survived all these years bringing Aurora up. Hence, she nodded with certainty. “Alright, I’ll go now!”

This wasn’t a negotiation, so Madeline turned around swiftly and walked back to the school. Augustus thought that Madeline was merely trying to scare him and make him compromise. However, Madeline had already gone to speak with the security guards.
“This damn woman is really stubborn!”

Augustus had never bowed his head in front of any woman. Now that he saw her talking to the security officers, he knew that the teacher would really send Aurora out if this continued. How could he allow this to happen?

In the end, Augustus gritted his teeth and marched forward angrily. He pulled Madeline over and said, “Are you crazy? I have just arranged this, and you want to ruin it?”

Madeline wasn’t angry at all. Instead, she said politely, “President Astor, don’t be angry. Commoners like us are unable to go up against you. We can’t afford to study in a prestigious school, and I can’t accept your arrangement either. I think it’s reasonable for us to do this.”
Madeline’s confident attitude made Augustus feel like he was having an aneurysm.

In the end, he could not dissuade her. He sighed and said, “Forget it. Pretend I didn’t say anything just now. You can do whatever you want.”

Augustus had compromised.

Augustus, the man who was feared by everyone, had bowed his head to a woman he had only known for a few days.

‘When Courtney, who was nearby, saw this scene, her eyes widened in fear.

All these years, she had tried so hard to climb into Augustus’ bed, but she hadn’t been able to get a proper status.

Even though she had managed to settle Augustus’ parents, she hadn’t been able to get Augustus to look her way. What was more infuriating was that Hugo had always been distant from her. She had to think of a way out.

If she couldn’t win his heart, she would get rid of Madeline, and prevent the mother and son from reuniting..
