163 – Too Eager To Get Engaged To My Half Sister
Madeline:
When Baxter left, Elgin returned. He told me he had put his daughters to bed and that Silver had continued arguing with him.
I told him what had happened to Baxter, and he called Graham to go and check on him.
“Did you get another call from him?” I asked Elgin as I stepped out of the room.
I had slept for only two hours before waking up in worry over what was happening.
“Madeline, don’t worry. She is fine,” he replied, and I released a deep breath, though the worry stayed with me.
“ You don’t understand, Elgin. Somebody assaulted Yuvonne. It is serious,” I said anxiously, rubbing my palms together.
I know I did not get along with her, but any woman or any man going through such brutality is horrendous.
“I know. I got the details from Baxter. He said there was a man. He recognized him, but he does not remember who he was. He came with the sole purpose of killing Yuvonne,” Elgin explained.
As soon as he said that, my heart dropped in my chest.
“He did stab her, and she is in a very bad state, but thankfully no vital organs were hit,” Elgin added. “Besides, the doctor has helped her regain her senses. In a few hours, he will help her transition and then she will heal. Don’t worry p>
He tried to reassure me, but it did not help. Not at all.
“It is so confusing. Why would anyone want to kill her?” I asked.
As I sat on the couch, Elgin stood from his sofa and came to sit beside me.
“Madeline, I know what made you not want to marry me,” he remarked.
As soon as he said that, I uncovered my face and turned to look at him.
This was not the topic we were supposed to discuss.
“Listen, I am not going to force you, but I felt the other alphas would not be happy with me interacting with their children, especially Graham. And I know how Baxter is, so I thought he would be against the idea. I know it is no excuse, but I truly care for all three of them. And even if you still do not believe it, we are not marrying because I think you will accept me. I am marrying you so you can keep your children with you,” Elgin explained before reaching for my hand and holding it.
“And Madeline, I will not force you into anything, but it is true that…” He paused.
I already knew what he was going to say. I tried to stop him, but he said it anyway.
“ I love you p>
His confession struck me hard, but there was no reason to focus on it.
Our attention needed to be on the children.
“Please, please marry me, and I will keep the children protected,” he urged, making me keep my hand under his,

because I realized he was not lying.
Out of the three, he was the only one who promised to take care of the children and who had not wronged me. Graham had damaged everything, and I was not going to marry him no matter what, because that would make him believe his actions had worked.
Then there was Baxter.
Even though he was extremely kind, helpful, and an ideal man in many ways, it did not change the fact that he had no explanation for blocking me after sleeping with me.
And tonight, the way he sprinted away showed he already had a responsibility.
Unlike Elgin, who clearly told Silver in front of me that their relationship meant nothing and that she was only the mother of their children, Baxter was in love with Yuvonne.
So even thinking of him as an option was wrong.
“Okay,” I said.
As soon as I did, Elgin took a deep breath and smiled.
“Thank you,” he replied.
I got up and went back to my room to lie down and finally get some proper sleep.
When I woke early in the morning, I stepped out to find Elgin and my three children sitting at the dining table having breakfast.
This time, Elgin had cooked. Not only that, Gina was in his lap, and he was feeding Baxter and Elara himself.
As soon as he looked at me, he smiled.
“Come on,
I have made breakfast,” he remarked.
My children looked so happy. I guessed he was right.
I had been chasing the wrong person. Besides, it was not as if we were getting married for love.
When I approached him and sat down, I noticed something lying on the table.
“Is it an engagement invitation card?” I asked.

“Yeah. They have changed the dates for the engagement ceremony,” Elgin replied, too busy helping the children to look at me directly.
I opened the card and saw they really had changed the dates.
The new card said the engagement ceremony was in one day
Baxter had decided to get engaged to her sooner than planned. (1
