Wendell could already picture the handful of quarrels over this topic.
Just how did Wayne come this far with that brain?
“This marriage isn’t only about you. It involves both families. Ms. Evans should at least agree to this. If she agrees, I won’t oppose it. But if she doesn’t…”
Wayne gritted his teeth. “Then, we’ll think of something to make her agree. Isn’t that how it works for your generation? Parents’ orders are the rules. She’s bound to this marriage arrangement!
“If you want me to return to the Procter family, I will only do so under the condition that Madison becomes my wife. Otherwise, forget it.”

Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.
Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior.
It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family.
If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn’t have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Madison! She was a divorced woman with four kids!
On top of that, Madison’s ex-husband was Wendell’s nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.
Hunter and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do?
Wendell was at his wit’s end.
Ignoring Wendell’s dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette.
But Wendell refused, “I quit it.”
Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Instead of a ruler of a land, he appeared more like a construction worker.
Wendell massaged his forehead at that. How had his son grown up to be like this?
Wayne blew out a puff of smoke. “Yes or no? Give me a definite answer.”
Cautiously, Wendell said, “I must say that it is quite a task. It won’t be easy. It’s not about matching social status. Even if you like a beggar, I can arrange a marriage for you right away. But she’s from the Evans family.
“You might not be aware of this, but they have some issues recently. Madison’s family doesn’t share the same blood as the Evanss. Besides, it’s quite a mess over there. The marriage is unlikely to happen.”
Wendell discarded his cigarette. “So, it’s a no? Geez, I shouldn’t have called you Dad.”
He walked away, leaving Wendell stunned.
Had Wayne always been this carefree? Instead of reuniting with his family, he seemed more like he came to get himself a wife.
And when he failed to do so, he abandoned his father!
Alan explained, “Please don’t take it to the heart, Mr. Procter. He has always been like this.”
“Has he been doing well?” Wendell came here in a rush, so he didn’t know a thing about Wayne’s past.
Alan shook his head. “Honestly, no. He managed to come this far without any background, connections, or resources. He relied solely on his fists and wits. If he weren’t lucky, he would’ve died hundreds of times.
“And please don’t let his aloof attitude get to you. He grew up in a slum, where all kinds of people lived. He had to deceive to survive. It would be unfair to compare him to those well-raised rich men or even ordinary people.”
Wendell felt terrible to learn how much Wayne had suffered.
In contrast, Alexander grew up leading a luxurious life. Yet, Wendell’s very own biological son ended up like this.
“Does he not have adoptive parents?”
Alan chuckled. “I think you’ve had life too easy that you don’t know how our kind lives. We grew up with whoever was kind enough to take us in. His life was tragic.
“He might’ve yearned for parental love when he was four, but he had to slog through those hardships on his own. You can’t expect him to be a kid anymore. He’s already in his 30s.”
“Does he genuinely like Madison?” asked Wendell.
“Having worked with him for so many years, we’ve never seen him becoming interested in a woman. She’s an exception, the only exception. Making the marriage happen will be difficult, and we know that.”
“Don’t blame yourself because of this. He has always been a single-minded man. People like us never really own anything anyways, so we don’t feel the pain of loss.”
Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this.
Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn’t feel the pain of loss…
Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn’t really care much about Alexander’s upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander.
But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent.
If that marriage arrangement was Wayne’s wish, Wendell was hell-bent on making it happen.
…
Madison was watching the sunset painting colors to the horizon by the seashore.
Although Jacqueline was dead, Madison didn’t feel happy, not even one bit.
So what if the mastermind was dead? The Evans family was still in disarray, and no one knew where Shana was.
Madison sighed softly.
“You’re too young to be sighing like that.” Wayne suddenly appeared next to her.
He sat next to her carefreely, completely unbothered by the sand.
He patted his side. “Have a seat. I won’t do anything to you. I just want to have a chat with you.”
Madison glanced at him. She subconsciously retreated backward before taking a seat.
“Hey, it’s the 20th century. Stop being old-fashioned, will you?” He really disliked how she was avoiding him like the plague.
She shook her head. “Wayne, we can be friends. I can’t promise you anything beyond that.”
Then, he suddenly leaned in closer. His presence was overwhelming. “Dr. Evans, if you didn’t want my attention, you shouldn’t have given me hope in the beginning.”
“Sorry, Wayne.” If Madison had known that that mission would pique his interest in her, she wouldn’t have accepted it.
“Not even a chance? We can try.” Wayne put himself low at this point.
Madison stared at his pleading eyes. Lovesick had never been an illness that she could heal.
Hunter roared, “In your dreams! Madie has agreed to marry me.”
The men glared at each other the second they met each other. The tension thickened in the air.
Wayne threatened, “Got a death wish? Don’t forget whose territory you’re on right now.”
“It doesn’t matter whose territory it is. I can beat you into a pulp.”
“You’re asking for it!” Like a leopard, Wayne pounced on Hunter almost instantly, aiming a punch at Hunter’s face.
Hunter managed to block it, and the two got into a fight.
Madison silently gave them some space, not even trying to stop them.
She even asked someone to bring her a coconut so that she could enjoy watching them fight while drinking in the lounge.
Kelvin was worried. “Mrs. Williams, are you not going to stop them?”
“Why should I? A men’s fight has nothing to do with women,” she stated casually.
Willow came running bare-footed. The bells around her ankle rang briskly.
When she reached the men covered in sand, they finally stopped.
Hunter cooed, “Alright, Willow. Don’t worry. I’ll stop.”
Wayne chimed in, “Willow, look at me. I’m your stepfather.”
She dug out a little crab, sparing them an indifferent glance before leaving. It was as if she were looking at idiots.
Wayne watched her back. “Is that your daughter?”
Hunter’s fist was flying at Wayne again. “Stepfather? Not a chance!”
Madison put down the coconut to wave at Willow. “Willow, we’re going to go home soon.”
Yes, she was going to leave the men resolving their personal grudges with their fists.
Madison and her group returned to the Evans family. Under the management of the eldest brother, the Evans family was functioning normally. The third brother’s legs had also recovered significantly. He no longer had to pretend to be disabled and could walk freely like a normal person.
Her second brother’s health couldn’t recover quickly in a short period, but he looked much better.
David’s condition had also improved significantly compared to before Madison left.
Jacqueline had almost wiped out the entire Evans family.
Seeing Madison return, David looked concerned, “Madison, I heard from your elder brother that you were poisoned. How are you now?”
“Dad, don’t worry, I’m fine now. Jacqueline must have died in the sea.”
David hugged Madison and said, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I just want you to be fine.”
Madison felt particularly distressed when she saw that David had aged several years in such a short time.
David asked, “Has there been any news about Mom? Your eldest brother has found some information and is still tracking it. The Heath family asked us to return to the country to meet him.”
These days, Mason’s identity has prevented him from showing up in public, so the Evans family had to return home.
Madison also missed her other children. “That’s fine. I believe the children will be very happy to know they have a grandfather and uncles.”
Therefore, the family returned home on a special plane.
It was early spring in the country. After the cold winter, the earth was full of spring.
New buds had sprouted on the branches, and it was the season for cherry blossoms to bloom.
Madison changed into a spring outfit, and Willow wore a light green dress and followed Madison.
Hunter was not wearing a suit for a rare occasion. Instead, he wore parent-child outfits like the mother and daughter, a light green striped shirt with white pants. He opened the car door and took Willow out.
