Twin Cupids at Work Daddy Come Home novel Chapter 579

Even after Helene was dragged down the hall, her voice lingered, echoing off the walls.

Julian’s expression was icy. No one could tell if he believed what Helene said, but her words had definitely shaken him.

He walked back into the suite just as Madeline stepped out of the bathroom, fresh from her shower and dressed in soft white pajamas. Noah and Oliver were already settled in, one absorbed in a book, the other glued to a laptop. Both looked up, their faces sweet and focused.

Madeline noticed him right away. “Hey, you’re back. You’ve got a wine stain on your shirt. Go change before it sets.”

Julian just nodded, his face tight and unreadable. “Sure.”

Madeline blinked, sensing something was off. “What happened? Did Helene say something to you?”

He stared at her for a long moment, silent. Helene’s words kept ringing in his mind.

Your father died because of Madeline’s mother.

She’s the daughter of your enemy.

A blood feud.

Those harsh words wouldn’t stop. They echoed in his head, over and over.

“Julian?” Madeline tilted her head, her eyes gentle and worried. “Are you okay?”

Her voice finally pulled him back. He looked at her, then quietly drew her into his arms.

Madeline felt his arms close around her, strong and desperate. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do. She could feel how heavy his mood was, how far away his thoughts had drifted.

He held on for a long time, silent and lost in his own world.
