Slowly, he realized the harsh truth that she didn't consider him family at all.
Eugene cleared his throat and sat on the edge of the bed. "Go ahead and sleep. I'll watch over you,"
Madeline lay on the bed and clutched her pillow tightly with furrowed brows. "I can't sleep with someone

As long as Eugene wasn't around, Madeline would not be embarrassed anymore. She waved him off, desperate

Before Madeline could finish. Eugene hurriedly covered her mouth. "Maddie, don't talk nonsense."
Madeline wrinkled her nose in defiance. Im not talking to you anymore. Im going to put the dishes away."
Eugene rubbed his temple, inwardly cursing his unlucky streak. Years of being virtuous, only to have his

Suppressing the urge to kick Eugene off the bed, Madeline tried to be polite "Eugene, aren't you a little old to be
