Chapter 555 One in a Million
Chapter 555 One in a Million
Edmund was rendered speechless.
What in the... I haven't even agreed to it, but Amy is my girlfriend from today onward?
However, since the words have already been said, he would seem ungrateful if he rejected them now.
"Alright." He nodded. "I'll have to trouble you, then, Miss Atkinson."
"Still calling her Miss Atkinson?" Leigh laughed and urged, "Call her Amy! Doesn't Amy sound nice? Right, Amy?"
She bumped into Amy with her shoulder.
She realized that she had a talent for matchmaking.
If Amy and Edmund really got together in the future, she would make sure they thanked her as the matchmaker.
Meanwhile, in Yolas City.
Martin and Rowan brought a lot of documents with them when they went to look for Madeline.
Madeline and Sebastian were playing with their two children by the seaside.
There were no cranes by the seaside, but there were seagulls that weren't afraid of people and were circling above the sea. The two children were playing in the waves, picking up crabs, and taking
photos, having a great time.
Madeline played with them for a while. After she started to feel a bit tired, she went back to the umbrella to drink juice and relax.
When she saw Martin and Rowan approaching, she poured them each a glass of juice and handed it to them, saying, "Freshly squeezed. Have some to quench your thirst."
The two of them took the juice and sat down on the recliners next to her.
"Ah, this feels heavenly." Martin took a sip of juice and sighed.
The beach, the sunshine, the sea breeze, and the chilled freshly squeezed juice.
"Right." Madeline smiled. "It does feel nice."
She looked relaxed and happy, with a gentle and sweet smile on her lips, and her eyes shining like stars. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
When she was at Taylor Residence, she was always busy studying various knowledge and skills, taking care of the children, and managing the law firm's affairs.
She never knew that life could be so relaxed and sweet.
Just sitting by the seaside and doing nothing other than watching Sebastian and the two children playing by the sea, she could watch them for days and nights without feeling bored.
Her happiness and joy were easily visible. Martin had known her for a long time, but it was the first time he had seen Madeline like this. She was relaxed, happy, and radiating happiness from every inch of her body. It was as if she were immersed in honey, and joy and happiness were emanating from her.
Martin couldn't help but smile while looking at Madeline.
If his sister was happy, he was happy too.
Having a brother-in-law might be a good thing, after all!
Before his brother-in-law appeared, his sister had never shown such a sweet and happy smile.
After resting for a while, Madeline asked, "What did you find?"
Just now, the two of them called her and said they had made a major discovery.
"We found something big!" Martin looked at Madeline, his eyes shining. "Madeline, take a look at this."
He took out a few sheets of paper from the pile of information he brought and handed them to Madeline.
"Madeline, take a look here!" He leaned over and pointed to an address in the information. "I asked Dylan for the address of the person who adopted his son back then, and it turns out that the address Dylan gave us is actually a small town below Yolas City!"
Madeline exclaimed, "What a coincidence!"
"Yes!" Martin nodded. "And there's an even bigger coincidence! Now look at this, Madeline..."
He pointed to a line of text in the information. "Look. After I found the family who adopted Dylan's son back then, they said that the wife became pregnant not long after they adopted Dylan's son. Their family was too poor to raise two children, so they gave Dylan's son away. However, when we asked who they gave the child to, they said they forgot."
"Odd." Madeline commented, "That's a child, not an insignificant object. How could he forget who he gave the child to?"
"Right, Rowan and I also think something's strange!" Martin nodded and continued, "So, we did something to make him tell the truth. It turned out that he didn't actually give Dylan's son away; he sold him to someone else..."
Madeline frowned at those words. "Sold him?"
"Yes, sold him! Because they felt guilty for selling the child, they didn't dare to tell the truth," Martin said. "Rowan and I also found the family who bought Dylan's son. They couldn't have children and didn't have a child, so they raised Dylan's son as their own. But when the child was five years old and playing at the door, they accidentally lost him..."
"Lost?" Madeline was stunned for a moment and sighed. "This child really has a turbulent fate!"
"Madeline, the climax is yet to come!" Martin's voice was filled with excitement.
He took out a photo from his bag. "Take a look. This is a photo of Dylan's son when he was five years old."
Madeline took the photo and felt a sense of familiarity as soon as she saw the child in the photo.
After looking at it carefully for a moment, she asked in astonishment, "Why does this child in the photo look so much like Ed when he was young?"
They had seen photos of Edmund when he was young, and the photo Martin gave him was almost identical!
"Right?! Rowan and I also think so!" Martin glanced at Rowan with a proud look. "So, Madeline, we have come to a conclusion. It's very likely that Ed is Dylan's son!"
Rowan nodded in agreement.
Madeline fell silent at that.
Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
"Do you think it's too coincidental?" Martin smiled. "It really is a one-in-a-million coincidence!"
Madeline quietly listened to him.
Her younger brother was indeed someone who had seen the world. He knew how rare of an occurrence this was.
However... it really was too coincidental!
Was Edmund really Dylan's son?
If he was, then they got the 660 thousand investigation fee too easily!
Uh...
Wait a minute.
If Edmund really is Dylan's son, can I still accept the remaining 300 thousand?
This is a problem… Madeline thought.
"Madeline, I think Ed is Dylan's son." Martin asked her, "What do you think we should do next? Should we tell Ed first and let him mentally prepare?"
"Yes, we should tell Ed first and listen to his opinion," Madeline answered. "Take a picture of the information you have and send it to Ed privately."
"Okay, I'll take the picture now!" Martin took a picture of the information in his hand and sent it privately to Edmund.
When Edmund received the information, Leigh and Amy had already left his room. He was lying on the bed alone, resting.
His mind was in a mess. He had told himself that the Foreman Family and Sophie were no longer
related to him, and he had to forget the past and start anew, but he couldn't do it.
He wanted to take a nap, but his mind was so chaotic that it was preventing him from falling asleep.
He was lost in his thoughts with his eyes closed when his phone rang. When he reached over and looked at the messages sent by Martin, he was stunned.
