Chapter 617
"I'm 21 now."
"Still a baby, aren't you? Fit to have kids?"
"Doesn't seem like it."
"So why are you mulling over it?"
Maddie stared at him, puzzled and teary-eyed, "Did I misunderstand you?"
"I've been single because women are a handful, a lot of trouble! And I hate trouble! Mark my words, if you ever bring any drama, don't expect me to stick around!" Maddie didn't quite grasp his words even when she reached her doorstep.
She didn't go in right away. Instead, she called Stephanie, asking what Putnam meant.
Hearing Maddie's story, Stephanie's eyes lit up, "Maddie, Putnam means if you don't stir the pot, behave yourself. He'll stick by you!"
"Really? But what does 'stick by me' mean exactly? I'm a bit lost. Could you break it down for me?"
"You guys hooked up. 'Stick by you' obviously means he'll marry you!"
Maddie finally entered the house with a heart full of excitement.
Brian Palmer and Mrs. Palmer hadn't left the house. They had been home all along.
Seeing Maddie return home after being out all night, looking all dazed, they exchanged a glance, "What's up with her?"
"Maddie, stop right there!" Brian's tone was stern.
Maddie returned to reality, looking at him confused, "Dad, what happened?"
"You're a girl, you can't be out all night! Is that appropriate?" "Stephanie must've called you."
"That still doesn't give you the right to stay
hat all night! You're out there
fun, not at home with ?
Mrs. Palmer noticed Maddie's face was swollen. She frowned, "Don't scold her just yet. Look at her face!"
On closer look, Brian saw that she was indeed hurt.
His brow furrowed, he stood up and asked, "Maddie, what happened? Who hit you?"
Maddie mumbled blankly, "I bumped into something."
"Are you out of your mind!? You did this to yourself?"
"What are you holding?"
"Nothing."
Maddie instinctively hid the plastic bag behind her.
But Brian strode over quickly, and grabbed the bag from her.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Dad!! What are you doing?" Maddie's mind cleared instantly, and nearly fainting from the fright. Brian quickly opened the bag, glanced at the medicine inside, nearly had a heart attack.
"Morning-after pill! Oh my god!" Mrs. Palmer also took a look, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Maddie, where on earth were you last night!? Were you taken advantage of?"
Mrs. Palmer felt sick to her stomach.
Maddie quickly explained, "No, I did this willingly."
"You foolish girl! Who did this to you! I'm going to make him pay!!" "Dad, don't do this. I've already told you I did this willingly!"
Mrs. Palmer also said seriously, "Maddie, you're still young.
