Chapter 295


    Even though Sebastian had drunk the coffee, he still pushed Ann away and left despite the pain the


    drug in his system was causing him.


    With that, Emma''s n had fallen through.


    She was a clever woman, and she knew that something like this could only be attempted one time.


    There was still a chance of her being forgiven if it was a one-time thing.


    Even the best of rtionships would fall apart if she tried it another time.


    The Hart Family was her backing. It was because of the shelter the Harts provided her that she was


    able to live a carefree life.


    Thest thing Emma wanted was to get into a fight with Sebastian.


    Still, she knew the reason he suddenly asked to meet her in the Hart Manor—he was here to settle


    some scores.


    In order for him to not hold grudges against her, she hade with the intention to make up for her


    wrongs.


    Emma had warned Ann before they came here toy low and sincerely beg for Sebastian''s


    forgiveness.


    The instant Ann saw her mother''s warning gaze that reminded her of her words before, she swiftly bit


    her lip and lowered her eyes, preventing anyone from seeing the unwillingness and jealousy in her


    eyes.


    She hated this!


    Last night was such a good opportunity for her!


    She had seeded at making Sebastian drink the cup of drugged coffee, and he was showing


    reactions as well.


    Thinking that her dream was finally about toe true, she had desperately thrown her arms around


    the man of her dreams.


    Instead, Sebastian pushed her away, and endured the alleged burning sensation one would feel when


    the drug had taken effect, and ran away!


    He actually ran away!


    Even though she was a beauty, who was scantily-d as she tightly hugged him when he was


    drugged, he had unhesitantly pushed her away from him. He even kicked her before he ran out!


    Ann loathed how it all turned out.


    The drug she bought was of the newest form. The seller had even told her that the drug was not


    only potent, but effects could only be cured by women.


    After the n was sessful, Ann had thought that her dream was about toe true, and she would


    be with the man of her dreams.


    She never would have expected him to run away right at the climax of her n.


    He had gotten away from her with the drug still in his system, and it coincidentally was a drug which the


    only cure was women.


    The drug must have gotten out of his system as he seemed to be doing much better after the night had


    passed. Does this mean that the drug I painstakingly put in his drink has ended up benefiting Madeline


    Taylor?


    Ann''s heart, so filled with hatred, felt like it had been smashed into pieces at the moment she came to


    realization.


    With Ann still in the middle of her train of thoughts, Sebastian threw a nce at her as he sat down


    beside Philip. "Dad, there are two things Maddie and I came here today to discuss with you."


    The older man let out a heartyugh at that. "What is it? Tell me," he urged.


    He then added, "Why didn''t you take a leave of absence for Aldo and Buddy and bring them over as


    well? I didn''t have time yesterday, or else I would have brought them here yesterday. I haven''t seen


    them in a long time. I miss them so much my internal organs are hurting."


    Philip had been so busytely that he hadn''t had the time to see his beloved grandsons.


    Even though they video-called each other everyday, he couldn''t squeeze the children in his arms


    through the screen.


    He had the most squeezable grandsons with the plumpest cheeks and the softest hair.


    Just the thought of how their baby fat felt against his touch made him wistful.


    Upon hearing that, Sebastian was rather speechless. Howe I have never heard Dad say he


    missed me when I was away from home for a good 6 months when he kept pressuring me into


    marriage?


    Letting out a small cough, Sebastian said solemnly, "Dad, I am here to talk to you about something of


    utmost importance. Please be more serious about this."


    Philip''s face immediately turned somber then. "I want to see my grandsons. This is the most serious


    thing we can talk about," he demanded.


    And once again, Sebastian was at a loss for words. Fine. I''ve lost. It is my fault for being the son while


    he is my father.


    Resigned, Sebastian conceded, "I will bring the boys over if you aren''t working overtime this weekend."


    "I will try not to work overtime, but I can''t promise yet. There are a lot of things going on these days."


    Philip sounded even more helpless than Sebastian.


    Hearing that, Sebastian suggested again, "When are you taking a break? I will bring them over then."


    "Isn''t that a given?!" The older man red at his son.


    It was as though he was ready to make an enemy out of Sebastian if Sebastian didn''t bring his


    precious grandsons over.


    Sebastian couldn''t help but feel it had been harder to get along with his father ever since he had


    reunited with his sons.


    The worst part was that the feeling had been intensifying with time!


    "Enough. I don''t want to talk about this anymore. This conversation pisses me off!" Philip finally showed


    Sebastian mercy and let him off the hook. "Go on, tell me what important business you are here to talk


    about."


    Hearing that, Sebastian let out a relieved breath.


    Philip was willing to give him a chance to talk about the issue atst!


    With his body tilted, Sebastian asked, "Dad, remember how I told you I want to have a wedding with


    Maddie, and I need your help with choosing a few auspicious days? Have you chosen any?"


    "Of course I have. How can I not take such a joyous asion seriously?" Philip took out a piece of red


    paper from his pocket and with a smile on his face, he unfolded it before he handed it to Sebastian. "I


    had someone check the alignment of the stars. These three dates are good for having your wedding.


    Remember to invite your inws to have a meal together, and let them choose a date out of these three


    auspicious dates."


    Ann''s head immediately whipped up as she looked at Philip and Sebastian in disbelief. Her face hadThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    turned pale as her whole body began to shake.


    A wedding?


    Sebastian is going to hold a wedding with Madeline?!


    Before this, Sebastian and Madeline couldn''t prove anything with their hidden marriage. It even


    seemed like they were having fun ying house together because of the children.


    Ann even thought that there mighte a day when Sebastian would get tired or sick of Madeline and


    would finally kick her aside.


    Furthermore, Quincy and Joel were illegitimate children. They wouldn''t have a high standing in the Hart


    Family.


    But then, a wedding was a different case altogether.


    Holding a wedding was equivalent to announcing to the public that Madeline was Sebastian''swfully


    wedded wife, and was the future mistress of the Hart Family!


    The children would earn their rightful ce and name as members of the family as well.


    As for Ann? Even if there was a chance to chase Madeline away from Sebastian''s side in the future,


    she would still be the second wife.


    Being called the second wife was definitely not as morous a position as the first wife.


    As soon as she heard the news, she could feel a tingle on the back of her head. Her ears buzzed and


    her limbs turned cold.


    Sebastian took the red paper from his father and handed it to Madeline after he took a look at it. "Find


    time to talk to your parents about it and see when they are free," he informed her.


    "Okay, I will." She nodded.


    "You have to get it done as soon as possible!" Philip looked at her cheerfully and said, "I have urged


    you all along to hold the wedding quickly so that I can let those old pals of mine meet my precious


    grandsons, but you both have been dawdling for so long! The wait is killing me!"


    Philip was infertile in his younger days. It took him until his middle age for him to get Sebastian. Some


    of his old friends around his age already had grandchildren who were going to college soon. He


    remembered how Sebastian didn''t even have a girlfriend when Philip still wasn''t aware that he already


    had two grandsons.


    How could he not get nervous about it?


    But now, he finally had grandsons he could show off to his friends as well!


    Not only were his grandsons beautiful children, they could easily be considered geniuses with their


    intelligence. He couldn''t wait to let everyone he knew know that he had grandsons.


    However, the children''s identities weren''t exactly the most brag-worthy before this. Worried that some


    foul-mouthed people would talk behind the children''s back about how they were illegitimate children,


    Philip had no choice but to hold it in, and only told a few of his closest friends about this.


    All he had to do now was wait for the wedding, and he could finally freely tell the world that he had not


    one grandson, but two!


    Ann''s heart felt icy cold as she looked at the ecstatic look on Philip''s face.


    She had spent a lot of time and effort on Philip by honoring and respecting him as if he was one of her


    ancestors over the years.


    It only turned out that she was never someone important to Philip.


    The man didn''t even care about what she felt or who she liked, or who she wanted to get married to.


    He only had his eyes for Sebastian and his grandchildren.


    She couldn''tprehend how such a kind-looking old man could be so heartless and hard to warm up


    to.
