When Madeline looked up, she noticed that not all nine brothers were staring directly at her. However, they looked at her from the corner of their
суп
After lunch everyone went off to mind their own business. Madeline unpacked her suitcase in her bedroom, finally feeling a bit relaxed.
Hazel had come along this time. She brought her a new sheet and looked extremely cautious.
“Ah, you’re here, Hazel, said Madeline.
Hazel closed the bedroom door, her eyes filled with helplessness, Tm impressed, Ms. Larson. I’m so scared here. I feel like I could get into trouble any time no matter how cautious I am. I’m so nervous.”
Hazel thought to herself. Although many people envy Ms. Larson for being favored by so many big shots, not everyone can handle such a
situation.
Madeline smiled slightly and said, “I’m nervous too. I haven’t seen my brothers for a long time. Honestly, we’re not close to each other like we used to be. Even though we were very close when we were young, it’s been so many years.”
Madeline took out clothes from her suitcase and hung them on the hanger, feeling emotional “Now each of my brothers is so imposing. It’s quite intimidating
“I didn’t expect you to think the same way” Hazel said with a bitter smile, I thought it was just me being cowardly.”
Madeline couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking. Tm also a coward, okay?”
Someone knocked on the door. After exchanging glances with Hazel, Madeline went to open it. The person outside was Eugene.
Eugene joked with a warm smile, “Why are you keeping your room closed during the day, Maddie! You’re not hiding a man in your room, are you? I’m your husband. If you do that, I might feel hurt. You better explain now while you still can.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. There isn’t even a mosquito in my room?” Madeline knew that he was trying to provoke her, but it didn’t work. After all, her room was indeed empty.
Eugene often referred to her as his wife, which had made Madeline somewhat sick of it. He pushed the door open and walked in. Then he showed her the thing in his hand. “I brought you the first cup of milkshake for autumn.”
Madeline took it. “Thank you.”
Eugene saw her tidying up, with many books and clothes spread out on the bed. Look at you, so clumsy. You do need a man to help you. Just sit there, and I help you tidy up.”
As Eugene spoke, he took off his long coat and tossed it aside. Then he began to tidy up for her, categorizing the clothes. There were a few skincare and makeup products, which he also neatly arranged on the table with her books, homework, and a laptop.
Madeline sat on the stool, drinking the milkshake. Hazel quickly finished her tasks and fled like a mouse.
Another knock on the door. This time, it was Gavin outside.
Gavin was holding a bouquet of roses. He smiled at her and said, “Your room seems a bit plain and dull, Maddie: I bought you a bouquet of roses to decorate your table. By the way, is it convenient for me to come? I’m not disturbing you, am I? Gavin said, his eyes twinkling with shrewdness as he glanced inside.
However, the door wasn’t opened wide, so he couldn’t see much. All he noticed was that Maddie was neatly dressed and her hair was well–groomed
“Not at all” Madeline stepped aside. “You remembered to buy me flowers. I heard that you have fallen behind with your study. I bet you’re drowning in that thesis, right?”
“Isn’t that just a piece of cake!” Gavin said, entering the room and immediately noticing Eugene sitting by the bed folding towels. He said sarcastically, “Oh, it seems I came at a bad time?
Eugene grinned. “How could it be a bad time? Your arrival is a pleasant surprise. Eugene looked at the roses in his arms, his tone playful and exaggerated, “You’re spending money on flowers to make my wife happy, so naturally, I’m happy too. I should thank you”
Gavin’s eyes were filled with disdain. “How dare you call Maddie your wifet Nolan is here, and you’d better ask him to check on you. Don’t let this madness get so bad that it affects your brain.
Eugene sighed, sitting up from the bed. “It’s normal for you to be jealous. Excellent women often attract a lot of unwanted attention, I don’t mind

was speechless. She rubbed her forehead and said, “Alright, stop it. Thank you for your milkshake, Eugene, and I appreciate the flowers

Gavin. You can leave now. I’m a bit tired from the journey and want to take a nap.”
With a sigh, Madeline firmly pushed them out.
The next second, she slammed the door.
Eugene and Gavin exchanged a look of mutual disdain. They expressed their dissatisfaction with each other in unison, then turned and went back to their bedrooms.
Madeline finally had some peace. Having so many brothers was too overwhelming.
She wondered how emperors with thousands of concubines managed. She thought, Or perhaps, the emperors didn’t even know their names. She took a sip of her milkshake, muttering, “Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about that.”
She put down the milkshake, tidied up all her things, and turned on her computer. She recently received an invitation to participate in an esports variety show and was still considering whether to accept it…

“Although I’m good at this, I’m currently neither famous nor well–reviewed. Even if I participate, I’d just be an extra, right? Madeline rested her chin on the table, quite conflicted. With Fake Confessions about to air, there would be some buzz, so it might be a good chance for her to get
attention
“Well, I’ll think it over. She opened a coding program, casually wrote a scheduling software for herself, and began to review her recent activities and make plans for the following days.
Before she knew it, the afternoon had flown by. Around three o’clock, she crawled into bed, feeling sleepy,
Autumn was perfect for sleeping. Although it was still a bit hot, the air conditioning at home was quite helpful. Madeline slept deeply, unaware of the time, until she felt a tickle in her nose. She sneezed, wondering who was doing this to her.
When she opened her eyes, she found a gentle, refined face close to hers, smiling softly like a blooming flower. The faint scent of flowers and wood on him was soothing. Time to wake up for dinner, Madeline.”
