Madeline was naturally reluctant in her heart. Lina, this old witch, had deep thoughts. Who knows what tricks she might play at night.

But after all, she was Patrick's mother. If she refused, it would make her look too bad as a Yara-in-law.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a thunder suddenly cut through the night, and the rain poured down with a splash.

It's raining!

Madeline looked outside. The weather forecast did mention rain today, but she didn't expect it to come so timely.

After a moment of thought, she sighed inwardly and reluctantly agreed to Lina's condition.

"Then stay here!"

When Patrick heard her words, he gently held her hand under the table.

Knowing that letting Mother lina stay will make Madeline feel wronged, but as long as tonight passes, no one will be able to disturb their family of four again.

Lina and Ariana locked eyes for a moment, then spoke up again, "Ariana is my godYara, tonight I want her to stay and accompany me. Madeline, do you have any objections?"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Madeline was shocked and suddenly stood up from her seat.

Allowing Lina to stay was already her biggest concession, now she had to let Ariana stay overnight too. Does Lina really have any regard for her, the hostess?

Madeline lost her appetite, put down her chopsticks, and prepared to leave. At that moment, Freya reached out and grabbed her wrist, gesturing with her eyes for her not to be stubborn.

She suppressed her inner anger and sat back down.

Then Freya lightly chuckled, "Coincidentally, Bradley and Patrick have important matters to discuss tonight. I'll stay here to accompany him. Madeline, do you have any spare rooms at home?"

Madeline was stunned for a moment.

But soon she realized that Freya had made this decision entirely to help her.

Madeline nodded vigorously, feeling touched in her heart, "Of course."

"Well then, Bradley and I will disturb you for one night."

After speaking, Freya turned her head to look at Bradley, with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Knowing that Bradley was busy with important matters, she had selfishly asked him to stay the night. She realized she had been too selfish.

But with Lina and Ariana staying tonight, it would inevitably cause trouble for Madeline if she ignored the situation.

After dinner, Patrick had the driver take all of Ariana's friends back, and Everything went back to their rooms.

After closing the door, Freya took the initiative to hug the man, and said with a very sincere tying, "Honey, I didn't ask for your permission to let you stay. Will you blame me?"

She knew that Bradley was very busy, and time was crucial for him.

But he had no complaints about her suggestion, even saying in front of so many people that he would listen to her.

In addition to being touched, Freya felt more guilty.

With these thoughts in mind, she hugged him even tighter.

"Fool, you are my wife. If you stay here overnight, of course I have to stay with you." Bradley stroked her hair, his eyes full of tenderness. "Consider it a way to relax and see what exciting show is on tonight, so Nan Xavier won't suffer a big loss."

Freya could imagine it, and Bradley could naturally guess to some extent.

Lina was used to playing tricks. By proposing to stay overnight tonight and even suggesting Ariana accompany her, even if he didn't understand women's thoughts, he could still sense it to some extent.

"What do you think these two women will do?" Freya lay in the man's arms, playing with the sparkling crystal button on his black shirt, her bright eyes fixed on his face. Just looking at him made her feel happy.

"Have you figured it out?"

Bradley didn't say it directly, but he reached out and held her hand, his eyes deep and inscrutable, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Freya sat up straight, leaned close to him and whispered, "Let me tell you, when women are together, they are most likely to play tricks. I've figured out Ariana. It's clear she has feelings for Patrick. If I'm not mistaken, she might..."

Freya didn't finish her sentence, but she believed Bradley would understand.

After all, they had been together for so long, and she had long been accustomed to the methods those women used to get close to Bradley.

Bradley naturally understood, otherwise he would not have agreed to stay.

"You can go ahead and do as you please, if anything happens, your husband will protect you." The man said domineeringly.

Freya smiled, "After tonight, Madeline and Patrick can also live peacefully, and I can slowly calm down and follow you back to the Southern Country."

"Of course, I will always stay by your side, only serving as the Southern Country behind your back."

The young woman smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling like the most dazzling crystal in the starry sky.

Bradley couldn't help but feel waves of emotions when he looked at her.

He couldn't resist wrapping his arms around her slender waist, leaning over to press her beneath him.

"It might not be peaceful later, but now is the best time for us to be alone as husband and wife."

As the words fell, their breaths were swallowed up.

...

Next room.

The scent of tea wafted repeatedly.

Lina elegantly brewed tea, while Ariana sat beside her.

"Auntie, Nan Xavier and Madeline are always together, I can't find an opportunity to make a move at all!"

Since the dinner party, Ariana hasn't said a word to Patrick, not even a chance to get close, which made Ariana anxious.

"Ariana, you are a smart girl, you know that haste makes waste. Some things require timing, and some timing needs to be created by someone."

Contrasting Ariana's impatience, Lina remained calm. She poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Ariana, "Just like this tea, if you drink it hastily, you won't taste its aroma. But if you savor it, you will appreciate its essence."

Ariana understood, her eyes widened suddenly. "Auntie means... let him take the initiative?"

Lina smiled without speaking, but her expression revealed her intention.

"I understand, thank you, Auntie!"

Ariana picked up the tea and took a sip, a cold smirk appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"Go on, invite Nan Xavier to come and have tea with me," Lina waved her hand.

"Okay."

Ariana replied and got up to leave.

At the same time, in the master bedroom.

Patrick had just finished showering and came out, seeing Madeline already lying down. Knowing that she was still angry, he sighed lightly and went over to comfort her.

"It's all my fault, I made you suffer."

Madeline ignored him, closing her eyes to pretend to be asleep.

Tonight's arrangement was indeed Patrick's fault. The matter of Lina's birthday banquet should have been informed to her in advance, rather than being mentioned at the last minute. She was not happy about hosting the banquet at home, but if he had just communicated properly with her, she would not have been so unreasonable.

In the end, she is Patrick's mother, she will still give the other party some face to a certain extent.
