Chapter 327
After a while, the servant brought the Maddox family into the living room,
Hackett said in a deep voice, “Hello, Mr. Maddox and Mrs. Maddox.”
Clayton smiled and said, “This truly lives up to being the most luxurious and largest manor in Alcomara. We almost got lost.”
Elsie was also shocked by the size of the manor. She had always heard that the James family’s manor was very grand, but seeing it was better than hearing about it. It was really big, like a palace.
Loretta was not in the mood to admire the buildings here. As soon as she entered the living room, she looked at Valeria. Loretta only wanted to wait for Valeria to call her mother, but thinking about it, it was a little extravagant.
“Mr. Maddox, you flatter me.” Hackett smiled.
Valeria had been listening to their small talk. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, “Hello, Mr. Maddox and Mrs. Maddox.”
These two unfamiliar and distant addresses made Clayton and Loretta’s expressions freeze for a second,
They knew that they could not be anxious about such matters, but when they heard such a cold and polite address, their hearts turned cold.
Clayton shifted his attention to Alex. His expression immediately changed as he played with Alex lovingly. “Alex, are you happy that I am here to visit you?”
As he spoke, Clayton handed over the toys he had brought. “Here, these are the toys your grandma and I bought for you. Do you like them?”
“Wow! So cool! I like it!”
Alex ignored the emotional changes between the adults and ran to the other side with his toy.
Valeria finally noticed that behind Elsie was followed by a man. He looked very unfamiliar, and Valeria didn’t know him. Valeria stood on her tiptoes, leaned close to Hackett’s ear, and asked, “Who is the man behind Elsie?”
Hackett turned his head to Valeria’s ear and whispered, “The man she loves to the core.”
“Oh, I see…”
Perhaps the two of them did not think much of such a natural and intimate action, but when the Maddox family saw it, especially Elsie, she felt a jealous feeling in her heart.
Inexplicably, this was originally meant for Elsie’s fiancé, but now it had become her brother–in–law. Who could stand this?
“Mr. Maddox, why did you call him over? Is there something you want to announce?” Hackett guessed Clayton’s thoughts right away.
While playing with Alex, Clayton smiled and said, “Yes, I have something to announce, Didn’t you want to treat us to a meal? Let’s talk at the dining table later.”
“Then we will go get ready. With that, Hackett pulled Valeria away.
Meanwhile, Elsie was extremely nervous. She wondered if her father was going to scold her and Kaden again at the dinner table.

Kaden also felt that he was about to be scolded. He held Elsie’s hand tightly. “Elsie, I will be with you later. I will not let you suffer alone anymore.”
Elsie retracted her hand silently.
This action made Kaden’s heart skip a beat. What did this mean? This woman wanted to retreat?
It had not been easy for Kaden to come this far, so he would never give up. He would definitely become Clayton’s son–in-
law.
At dinner time, in the dining room.
Everyone took their seats at the huge dining table.
+5
Although this was the James family and Clayton was not sitting in the host’s seat, he was the oldest, making him look like the owner of this family..
Hackett and Valeria sat together. Alex sat between them, looking like a family.
Elsie sat next to Kaden unwillingly.
Everyone was silent. No one dared to speak.
This was Hackett’s territory. He should be the host, but he also chose to remain silent.
This was because Hackett knew that Clayton must have something important to announce.
Adults could be silent, but children could not. Alex was already growling from hunger. He shouted, “Mommy, I want to eat. I’m hungry.”
“Mr. Maddox, let Alex eat first. He’s really hungry, and his body has been in the recovery phase lately.” Hackett had already given Clayton face. However, in the James family, he inquired about Clayton’s opinion.
Clayton accepted Hackett’s favor and smiled. “Let my little darling eat quickly so that he won’t starve.”
Valeria picked up a few dishes and placed them on Alex’s plate. Alex grabbed them with his hand and ate them. He did not care what the adults were thinking as long as he was not hungry.
Clayton picked up the glass of red wine and took a sip, seemingly trying to gather his emotions.
“We are a little rude today. I’m sorry to borrow the James family’s place to handle my family matters. Hackett, I’ll apologize
to you
first. Don’t mind me.”
Hackett shook his head. “Mr. Maddox, James Group wouldn’t have gotten to where he is today without your involvement. This small matter isn’t worth mentioning.”
Clayton nodded and looked at Elsie and Kaden, who were sitting opposite him.
Seeing that her father was about to tell them about their relationship, Elsie could not help but beg for mercy. “Dad, I was wrong. I will never be willful again. I will listen to you. Please don’t say anymore. I really…”
However, before Elsie could finish speaking, Clayton interrupted her. “No. What I want to say is that if the two of you really love each other, I won’t stop you from doing what you want in the future. If you want to be together, so be it. If you want to get married, I’ll help organize a wedding for you.”
Elsie was shocked. Did Clayton drink too much? But he had only taken a sip.
Kaden, who was sitting beside Elsie, was overjoyed. He grabbed Elsie’s hand. “Elsie! Mr. Maddox saw us love each other and agreed! That’s great!”

Elsie, on the other hand, was dumbfounded. Clayton actually agreed.
Elsie wanted to use her father’s disagreement as an excuse to reject Kaden, but Clayton actually agreed.
“Dad, did you drink too much?” Elsie was stunned and didn’t know what was going on.
Clayton smiled. “Your mom and I have been thinking a lot these past few days, especially after we found your sister. Also, Alex’s illness has made us understand that as long as you two are happy, it’s fine. Who doesn’t want to do what they like in life? Therefore, your mom and I have decided to agree to you two.”
Loretta also smiled and looked at her youngest daughter. “Are you happy? I persuaded your dad for a long time, and he finally agreed.”
Elsie could only suffer in silence.
However, Elsie did not want to marry Kaden at all.
Kaden almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times. He cried excitedly, “Mr. Maddox, thank you! I will definitely treat Elsie well. I will love her for the rest of my life!”
“Okay, that’s good.” After saying that, Clayton looked at Valeria. “Next, let me address the second matter. Valeria, we intend to make your existence public. I want everyone to know that my eldest daughter, Elena, has been found.”
Clayton’s words were like a bolt out of the blue, Elsie’s jaw almost dropped.
