173 –My Second Husband Is Also Protective Of Me

Madeline:

“What do you think, Baxter? Do you seriously think Madeline has anything to do with this case?” I did not expect Elgin to ask Baxter or involve him in the conversation, but now that he had, I wanted to know what Baxter thought.

“I do not think so.” As soon as Baxter said that, I watched my sister snap her head toward him.

“Then why would your guard want to kill me? What have I ever done to him?” Yuvonne spoke up before Baxter could say anything.

“I have no idea, Yuvonne. I am shocked myself, ” I replied.

I was not trying to be rude to her because I knew what had happened to her was wrong.

“Then can you text your husband and ask him what is going on? He must know something. There is no way his guard would attack me for no reason p>

As soon as she said that, I remembered something.

He had taken the chocolates with him, saying he would test them to see if Yuvonne was up to something.

What if he found out she had poisoned the chocolates or something and decided to take revenge on her?

Knowing Sawyer, he could do something reckless like that.

“I will speak with him, but I am pretty sure Sawyer has nothing to do with it,” I stated, trying to swallow the fear of finding out he actually had done something.

I would not be angry at Sawyer if he acted because she had tried to poison my children. I would be angry at her.

However, sending a man to kill her that way was the part I had a problem with.

He should let me know so I could tell Baxter and the others what she had tried to do to my kids.

“And please do not worry, I will let you know whatever my husband tells me.” I was still being somewhat kind to her after all the times she had been rude to me.

I watched Elgin and Baxter look at Yuvonne and then at me.

However, I could tell Yuvonne was bitter and that she was not going to stay around for long.

She already hated me, so if one of my guards had tried to kill her, she must hate me even more now.

Yuvonne got up, looked at me, and then said nothing before she stormed out.

When she neared the door, she turned to Baxter.

“You are not coming with me?” she asked, already showing authority.

I guessed that because of her trauma, Baxter simply stood and strolled toward her.

“Elgin, take care of the laptop. Try to restore her stuff, okay? Do not let her worry too much,” Baxter told Elgin.

His eyes briefly landed on me, and he gave me a quick nod, a silent goodbye, before he followed her.

Once the two had gone out, I locked the door and stepped to the couch, sitting down and staring at the screen with the large letters, password needed.

“What am I going to do with it now?” I complained, almost on the verge of tears over losing all the progress.

However, Elgin suddenly chuckled. He leaned forward, typed something on the screen, and the computer came back on.

My head snapped toward him as I stared in shock.

“ You are looking at someone who is very good at playing games when it comes to computers, mobiles, and any electronic device,” Elgin stated, showing me his phone.

The email address we received was actually his. I was completely shocked.

“But why did you do that?” I asked, stuttering as I checked my laptop, and sure enough, there was no virus

anymore. 1

“I noticed how anxious you looked, and I realized there was something you did not want to share with anyone. So I sent that email, and I knew Lord Elgin would fall for it. I set the password and the timer, and now you have your laptop back. Make sure you delete the emails you do not want anyone to read,” he replied, making me stare at him with so much admiration.

I had no idea, but it helped me today.

“Elgin…” I tried to speak, but he leaned closer and placed his finger on my lips.

“No need to thank me. This is what a good husband does,” he remarked, then winked at me, making me roll my eyes and gently push him away.

“Oh my God, I was so scared,” I sighed happily, grabbing my laptop and rushing to Sawyer’s emails to delete everything.

“By the way,” I said as I got up from the couch, one arm under my laptop while I typed and deleted the sketchy emails with the other, “do your parents know you are marrying me?” I asked, my eyes on the screen.

“No,” he replied, his head resting back on the backrest.

My eyes snapped up at him.

“Elgin, I do not want people yelling at me for marrying you,” I complained, annoyed at how relaxed he was.

He acted as if it was not a big deal.

“Why do you worry about it? Madeline, I will take care of everything,” he answered casually.
