Chapter 15 Making a Splash
Neither Maddison nor Taylor made any move, and Taylor didn't mention anything to Morgan about letting Maddison out, even taking care of Swanstrom, which made Morgan feel better.
The snake incident was also banned from discussion by order, and the estate acted as if nothing had really happened.
After five days in the study, Morgan went back to sleep with Taylor in the bedroom.
On the sixth day, Morgan looked at Taylor's eyes again, tender and affectionate, anyone can guess what happened last night.
That very day at dinner time, Taylor gave Swanstrom a piece of chicken leg.
Swanstrom smiled sweetly and thanked, "Thank you Auntie Taylor."
"Now it's time to change your name to mommy." Taylor said, "I'll take care of you like your mommy, son. Just like Maddy, she's not my own either, but I take care of her as if she were my own. From now on, you can talk to me if you need anything."
Swanstrom's heart sneered, not biological? She wouldn't believe it even if she were six years old now.
Maddison is only a few months younger than her, which means that Morgan cheated on Taylor while her mother was pregnant.
Morgan will not leak this kind of scandal, naturally.
But Taylor suddenly said so, there must be some plan.
Want her to call Taylor "Mom"?
She has only two mothers, one biological and one adoptive, and no one else deserves it.
Swanstrom with a look of help to Morgan: "Dad, I'm ...... still a little hard to change my mind."
With tears in her eyes, she pandered to him.
Sure enough, Morgan's heart melted at the sight of her.
Even though he is Swanstrom's father, no man can resist such a look.
He said with a dry cough, "It's okay, there's plenty of time later, slowly change your mouth, there's no rush this day or two."
"Thanks Dad. I'm sorry, Auntie Taylor, I still have to get used to it." Swanstrom said to Taylor apologetically.
Taylor's heart is dying, this dead girl, not even willing to call her mother!
But Taylor is much more calm than Maddison, she said with a smile, "This kind of thing is a bit difficult for you, I was too anxious, no need to apologize to me, it is I who should apologize to you. When you feel comfortable with it, it's not too late for you to change your mind, after all, we are going to be a family for life."
"Thank you Auntie Taylor."
"Where words."
Both are smiling softly, the atmosphere looks happy on the surface.
Morgan looked at the harmony of the table, and the fatigue of work was gone.
Or the old saying, do not make any more trouble, he will have nothing to worry about.
But Morgan was just thinking that when Taylor said, "Honey, there's something I haven't told you, and it's about Maddy."
When he heard Maddison's name, Morgan's good mood was gone again, and he directly slapped his chopsticks and said angrily: "Are you going to help that dead girl? She made such a big mistake, I'm already doing her a favor by locking her up for a month! Don't even think about speaking up for her!"
Swanstrom looked at Taylor with some suspicion. Taylor didn't seem like someone who would say something like that at a time like this, she was good at reading faces and must have known better than to put in a good word for Maddison during this time.
What is Taylor selling?
Taylor showed a very difficult look and said, "Honey, I'm not trying to plead for her, there's just something that I don't know if I should tell you."
Morgan's face improved a little when she heard that Taylor wasn't asking for Maddison, but her voice remained cold as she asked, "What is it?"
Taylor sighed, fished out a piece of paper from her pocket and said, "Actually, here's the thing, I just received a notification letter today, and it says that Maddy got the championship of Ladies Coffee Contest held by Royal College of Coffee."
"What?!"
Morgan knew this, and once he won the title, he had the endorsement of Deep Night Cafe, the world's leading coffee chain!
He happily looked at the announcement letter in Taylor's hand, and his eyes lit up when he saw that Khalid was among the presenters.
Those were greedy eyes.
His hand trembled a bit as he held the notification letter: "Why didn't you tell me earlier about such a big happy event? The ceremony is tomorrow afternoon!"
Taylor looked like she blamed herself and said, "It's not because Maddy did something wrong because of a moment of absurdity? When I told her about it today, she even said she didn't want to go to the ceremony and wanted to reflect properly at home."
"How can this be?!" Morgan blurted out.
How can you not go when you have the rare opportunity to show your face in front of the top powerful people?
Isn't that silly?
But he seemed to be seen through when he touched Swanstrom's innocent, unspoken gaze.
He coughed a little awkwardly and said, "If Maddy can say that, it means she has realized her mistake. Now that she knows the mistake, it doesn't matter how long she is locked up. swann, what do you think?"
Swanstrom's heart sneered, this is her own father!
What a great dad!
However, Swanstrom never reveal their true feelings, she smiled gently, kindly said: "Dad, in fact, I have long wanted to say, always locked up sister is not a matter, or early to release her it. After all, she is not young, after a mistake, right and wrong must be clear. If she does it again next time, it's not too late for you to punish her severely."
Taylor, who was sitting across the table, heard this and hated it with a gnash of her gums.
Swanstrom said so, next time if Maddison makes a mistake, Morgan will not forgive her easily!
Sure enough, Morgan frowned and said, "That's right, there's no next time, Taylor, and you tell her that next time, she's out of here!" Taylor, who hated her with a passion, had to say, "I'll talk to her and she knows she's wrong. swann, thank you for forgiving her." Swanstrom smiles: "After all, we're family, and family is all about tolerance, even if she tried to get me killed."
Taylor's smile faltered, and unable to pretend any longer, she stood up and said, "Then I'll go pack for tomorrow's trip to Marlagh City."
After she finished, she stood up to go upstairs, but halfway thought of her plan, she stopped again and said, "Honey, tomorrow happens to be a weekend, you don't have to go to the office, why don't we go together? Take Swann with you?"
Morgan remembered Swanstrom's relationship with Khalid and nodded without hesitation, "Of course! You pack Swann's bags, too, and get her some clothes for Marlagh City."
"Okay, honey." Taylor finally pulled out a smile.
When the time comes, Swanstrom will be waiting for her daughter to make a splash!
