Twin Cupids at Work: Daddy, Come Home! novel Chapter 150

Julian stood by Lucy’s hospital bed, his gaze turning darker with each passing second. He told the nurse to keep an eye on her, then stepped out into the hallway.

Miles had just finished a phone call. For once, his usually serious face was lit up with excitement as he hurried over to Julian. “Boss, we found Noah.”

“Noah’s been found?” Julian asked, eyebrows pulled together in confusion.

“Yes, boss.”

“Where was he?”

“One of the maids ran into him wandering around outside. She brought him right back.”

Miles repeated the news just as he’d heard it.

Julian’s eyes narrowed. Wandering outside? That meant Madeline hadn’t sent him away. But she hadn’t looked after him either. How could she let a five-year-old roam around by himself? The thought made Julian’s mood sink even further.

Madeline had just settled into the car when her phone rang. She glanced at the screen, her eyes narrowing even more. Julian again. What did he want this time?

She picked up, still annoyed. “What now, Your Majesty? Run out of things to boss around?”

Julian could feel his temple throbbing. That sharp tongue of hers never failed to get a rise out of him.

“Is this how you look after your child? By letting him go off on his own? He’s five, Madeline. Five. Is this really all the responsibility you have as a mother?”

Madeline could tell he was barely holding back his anger. “What are you talking about?”

“What am I talking about? Noah was out there all alone, and you had no idea. Remind me again why you worked so hard to take him away from me?”

Madeline was caught off guard. Before she could say a word, Julian hung up.

What was he talking about? Noah? Wasn’t Noah supposed to be out of the country? The way Julian spoke, it was like he’d seen him in person today.
