Chapter 195
Madison turned around and saw a beautiful and refined lady in a flapper dress standing by the fence.
Madison realized that her eyes resembled that of the beautiful lady's eyes.
In an instant, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe properly.
It was not the first time Madison had seen Rosalie. When Madison was overseas and the test results were out, the members of the Daves family all went overseas to visit Madison. However, today was different. It was her first official homecoming.
Madison looked at her mother who was standing nearby. Tears began to well up in her eyes and her nose became runny. Madison forced a smile and said, "Mom, I'm back!"
Rosalie also had tears in her eyes, and they quickly rolled down her cheeks.
After being separated from Madison for more than 20 years and thinking about her for more than 20 years, Rosalie could not control her emotions when she saw her daughter. She ignored the pebbles in front of the old residence and ran towards Madison on her high heels.
Madison was worried when she saw that. She hurriedly went forward to support Rosalie. "Mom, slow down. I'm not leaving this time. Don't be so anxious!"
Rosalie was not in good health and was thin and fragile. If she fell while running toward Madison, Madison would never forgive herself.
Rosalie became sick when Madison went missing. If Rosalie was injured because of her, she would think of herself as a jinx.
Rosalie did not listen to what Madison said. All she focused on was Madison. She looked at her daughter, who had suffered in many places for many years. Tears did not stop rolling down her cheeks. Rosalie held Madison tightly with one hand, as if she was afraid that Madison would run away.
She caressed Madison's face with her other hand, but she did not dare to use too much strength. Rosalie fixed her glance on Madison.
Madison was also looking forward to reuniting with her family, but it was strange to be standing at the doorway.
Feeling helpless, she could only interrupt Rosalie. "Mom, Joe and Samuel are still carrying the gifts we bought. Let's go into the house, shall we? The gifts are for you and Dad!"
"Alright, alright. Let's go into the house. Jessica has finally come home. From now on, our family is reunited and will never be separated again."
Rosalie wiped her tears and held Madison's hand while walking forward. She did not bother about the gifts or Joe or Samuel. All she could focus on was Madison.
Rosalie squeezed Madison's hand, and she felt a pain in her heart. "Jessica, why are you so thin? Have you not eaten every day? I heard from John that you like to eat shrimps. I personally made a shrimp stew for you. You have to eat more later."
Eric loved and pampered Rosalie very much. Her gentle voice was very similar to Madison's voice, sounding coquettish.
The two of them walked side by side. At first glance, they looked like sisters rather than mother and daughter.
Madison responded to her mother's words and looked back at her two brothers from the corner of her eye.
Samuel looked alright. He had never been a talkative person. When there were many people, he would deliberately go into a low profile mode.
In comparison, Joe's expression was not good. He had restrained his usual sloppy attitude. At this moment, he was moving things with Samuel with a glum expression.
Madison could not stand it anymore. She was not the kind of person who would watch others do things while she did nothing.
"Mom, you lead the way while I carry the things in with Joe and Samuel."
However, Rosalie refused to let go of her hand. "Let the guys carry the heavy stuff. As your older brothers, they naturally have to take care of you. How can they let you do it?"
Rosalie was still considerate enough not to just bring Madison into the house. She still had to consider the feelings of her two sons behind him.
"Samuel is still young, so don't carry too many things. Later, when you go into the house, Alfred will help you carry the stuff. Don't tire yourself out. Joe, you're the older brother, so you can carry more. I haven't seen you for so many years. This time, stay with your sister for a couple more days!"
Joe did not respond.
Madison knew that Joe was feeling estranged. She quickly replied, "Joe says that he will stay at home with me for a few more days. Mom, don't worry. If there are no serious matters in the company for him to settle, he can stay at home."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Rosalie snorted and looked at Joe resentfully. "Why did you have to start a company somewhere far away? First, you went overseas. Then you moved to Sidovor City. Don't you think it's good to stay in Rozalia? You and John can take care of each other, don't you agree, Jessica?"
Madison nodded. She felt for Joe and hence, she spoke up for him. "Naturally, it is good to be in Rozalia. However, a man must be ambitious. As long as Joe is capable, he can start a company anywhere." "That's true, but he hasn't come home for a few years. He's always at his company. How can that be? He's getting older, but he hasn't brought a girlfriend home. I feel embarrassed to talk about him." As parents, they naturally hoped that their children would be by their side.
Although Rosalie had often been in a daze all these years, her mind was clear most of the time. She also knew that because of neglect, Joe was not close to her. However, Joe was her son. How could she not be concerned about him?
However, by the time Rosalie realized it, Joe had already grown up. He had his own thoughts and was only close to John. He would send greeting messages during festive seasons, but he just did not come home.
This time, when he came back with Jessica, Rosalie could only make use of Madison to talk to Joe.
Madison also knew what Rosalie was thinking about. However, Madison had to say something in Joe's defense.
"Isn't John not married yet? Why are you so anxious about Joe's marital status? I still want Joe to be around me for a couple more years. If he has a wife, he will definitely dote on her. Then he will not bother about me. Don't rush him to get married."
Anyway, Joe had already gotten Blanche to join his company. There was no hurry for Joe to get married.
If he himself was not in a hurry, there was naturally no need for others to be.
Rosalie did not know much about Joe's life. She sighed and looked at Joe.
"He doesn't have a loving personality. I wonder which girl will be willing to be with him in the future. John doesn't seem to be in a hurry either. You know his situation. He doesn't have a wife, but his child is already five years old. He has a reason to refuse to get married."
Madison knew about John's son.
When John first took over the Daves family's business, he was set up by someone, and a woman was sent to spend the night with him. However, the next day, the woman left quietly. John couldn't find her even after carrying out tedious searches.
It was not until nine months later that a baby boy was sent to the old residence of the Daves family. A note stated that this baby was John's son. After a DNA test, it was proven true. The Daves family carried the baby boy home and raised him well. He was already five years old.
As for the child's mother, John had never given up on looking for her all these years. However, there was no clue at all.
Fortunately, this little boy was obedient and easy to raise. Other than when he was sick, he did not cry for his mother. John was usually busy. Hence, his son became the companion of the Daves family elders. They were walking into the old residence when someone ran out in a panic.
"Mrs. Daves, something terrible has happened! Charlie is missing!"
