Chapter 162
Angel manipulated Theodore into thinking that he needed a wife who was as capable and smart as their mother, who was fighting cancer right now.
But their mother was an absolutely gorgeous woman, even in her twilight years. She was still genuinely the most beautiful woman Lance had ever seen in real life until he saw Madeline Rose.
Meanwhile, that bitch Angel was aging like expired milk, and she wasn’t as capable and smart as their mother.
So there was absolutely no reason for Theodore to get head over heels for her unless he had been brainwashed and groomed since his adolescent years.
"Besides, you should be happy that Dad is paying more attention to you nowadays, right?" George reasoned. "I mean, he has been crippled by heartbreak for so long. To see him begin doing something other than being sad is an improvement."
"You’re right, I guess..." Lance sighed. "I’m just worried that Dad only sees Madeline from what’s portrayed outside because she’s popular for all the wrong reasons. So he wants to kick her out of my life."
"Oh? Aren’t you the one who proposed the idea of riding on Madeline’s infamy to threaten Theodore? Have you changed your mind?" George grinned as he already knew the answer. But it was fun to tease his second brother.
Lance groaned. "I changed my mind. I can’t do that to her."
"Why?" George asked.
"Because I realized I’ve fallen in love with her," Lance replied firmly. He had no hesitation or doubt about it.
"Are you sure it’s real love? I mean, you fucked so many women in the past. I don’t know if you can genuinely love someone. Do you remember how many women got their hearts broken because of you? What makes you think you won’t do the same with Madeline Rose?"
"Why are you so hung up about this?" Lance clicked his tongue. "I know what’s in my heart, George. I fell in love with her."
