You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 578 I Like Hearing You Say That



Chapter 578 I Like Hearing You Say That

"I don't mind," Madeline said. "I'm not very talkative, and Leigh is super chatty. We complement each other perfectly."

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that only used to describe married couples?"

"Is it?" Madeline replied. "I-I don't think so. Can't it be used among friends as well?"

Sebastian responded, "Whatever rocks your boat, I guess."

Madeline was somewhat speechless. She finally understood why she had recently developed a fondness for teasing him.

She had been influenced by Sebastian!

Were they beginning to mirror each other's nuances? Having spent so much time together, they subconsciously learned each other's expressions, movements, and speech, eventually developing a resemblance to each other.

This thought crossed her mind, and she blushed slightly.

Sebastian noticed her cheeks turning slightly red and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Nothing." Madeline shook her head and changed the topic. "There's something on my mind, though."

She hesitated, unsure if she should say it or not.

"What is it?" Sebastian continued looking at her.

She asked awkwardly, "It's about Ann... She's not pregnant with Grayson's child, is she?"

A fling could be brushed off, but if she was pregnant, things would be troublesome.

Grayson would be in trouble, and it would not be fair to the child either.

"No," Sebastian answered firmly.

Madeline was curious. "What makes you so sure?"

When a man and a woman became tangled with each other, wouldn't it be likely for the woman to get pregnant?

"Ever since Ann moved into Grayson's apartment, she's been on birth control," explained Sebastian.

"Is Ann on birth control?" Madeline was confused. "Shouldn't she be hoping to get pregnant with Grayson's child and become a mother of noble birth? Why would she be taking birth control—"

She stopped midway, her eyes widening at the realization. "She didn't take them willingly, did she?"

"Of course not!" Sebastian smirked. "Just like you said, she'd be eager to bear Grayson's child. How could she willingly take those birth control pills?"

Madeline asked, "Did you get Birch and Winter to tamper with her food?"

"Yes, I did," answered Sebastian, admitting it openly. "She moved into Grayson's apartment with the intention of becoming the second young mistress of the Hart Family. I'm not letting her bear Grayson's child and bring harm to both him and the child, so I had to take action."

"Didn't you ask Birch and Winter to supervise them 24/7?" Madeline queried.

"Didn't you ask Birch and Winter to supervise them 24/7?" Madeline queried.

"Everyone needs a breather, don't they?" Sebastian said. "Besides, when we say 24/7 supervision, it just means whenever Grayson isn't asleep. Birch and Winter need to rest at night, so if Ann sneaks into Grayson's room at one or two in the morning, she might get away with it."

Madeline remained silent.

Sebastian was truly worried about his younger brother.

She hesitated for a bit before asking, "Well, what if Ann discovers that Birch and Winter tampered with her food and causes a scene?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"How could she possibly find out?" Sebastian said confidently. "She's so foolish."

Madeline sighed.

Sebastian didn't want Madeline to think he was a monster, so he explained, "Ann moved into Grayson's apartment with ill intentions, so I have to be cautious. She went in with the intention of plotting against Grayson, so she should face the consequences of her actions."

He continued, "Don't worry, I made sure Birch and Winter used the best birth control pills out there. Other than preventing unwanted pregnancy, it has no side effects and will not harm Ann's body."

Madeline couldn't say that she wasn't worried at all.

Because of Ann, Caitlin was now lying in the hospital. Despite surviving the ordeal, Caitlin was bound to suffer a lot.

She had no favorable impression of Ann. Although she had a lot of sympathy, she couldn't spare even a bit of it for someone like Ann.

However, she had one doubt.

She asked, "Aren't Birch and Winter by Grayson's side at all times? How did Ann manage to get pregnant?"

Furthermore, Birch and Winter weren't punished for it.

The Harts had strict family rules, so if Birch and Winter neglected their duties and failed to complete their tasks, there would definitely be repercussions.

Looking at the situation, it seemed like this had been done on purpose.

"I told them to stay away." Sebastian's answer confirmed her speculation.

"Why?" Madeline couldn't understand. "You had Birch and Winter stay by Grayson's side to prevent Ann from succeeding, so why did you ask them to stay away?"

"Grayson has disappointed me," Sebastian said calmly. "Drastic times call for drastic measures. If I don't teach him a lesson, he will take care of Ann for the rest of his life. It's better to be safe than sorry. Birth control pills have no side effects when taken in the short term, but it's hard to say if taken for a long time."

Also, always being on guard was too tiring. Weren't things much better now?

It was better to nip things in the bud decisively to eliminate future trouble.

Madeline hesitated before saying, "Frankly speaking, we could've switched bodies… When they were both unconscious, we should have replaced Grayson with a stand-in…"

She coughed awkwardly. "I've worked on a similar case before. One man had a woman plotting against him, trying to force a physical relationship so that she could climb the ranks. He turned off the lights before telling her he was going to the bathroom, but he came back with a stand-in who resembled him."

"It's a good idea, but it's not a good solution for Grayson," Sebastian said. "He's too foolish. It won't scar him for life. If Ann cries and begs pitifully, he'd just forgive her. He won't marry her, but he will continue to look after her."

Madeline didn't know what to say.

If they hadn't spent so much time together, she would never have thought that Grayson, who seemed like the coldest among the Harts, was actually the softest and most indecisive.

"Aren't things better now?" Sebastian said. "He's learned his lesson, and it will bring him painful memories whenever he sees Ann from now on. He'll never be involved with her for the rest of his life."

Madeline remained silent.

It was a brilliant, ruthless plan.

However, Sebastian's approach was impeccable. He hadn't done anything; he simply removed the people responsible for monitoring Grayson.

Grayson had been an adult for a long time, and he was fully capable of taking responsibility for his own life.

This outcome was a result of his decisions. Hopefully, he'd learn from this experience and make progress in the future.

"By the way, Leigh told me that it's Lucas' birthday tomorrow. What present should we get him?" Madeline shifted her focus away from Grayson's affairs and changed the subject.

"Us?" Sebastian turned his head to face her. A slight smile graced his lips, and his eyes sparkled.

"Yes…" Feeling slightly uneasy under his scrutiny, Madeline asked, "What's the matter?"

"Not much." Sebastian chuckled. He turned around and placed his hand on her shoulder, gently guiding her to sit on the bed. With one hand on her shoulder, he caressed her cheek with the other. His voice

was deep and alluring, and it was filled with an air of indescribable, seductive charm. "I just like hearing you say that…"
