Instead of being offended, Joshua put on his best smile as he held out both hands, saying, "We're going to be a family soon after all. Please don't be too mean."
His sweet smile and fakeness might fool Castelia, but Maddie would never be fooled! Maddie swatted Joshua's hands away before glaring back at him. She loudly said, "You better kill me and throw my body in the alligator pool but don't ever think we will become family."
Castelia didn't want to enter into the conversation, she stood between them quietly without a word. Castelia thinks it's useless to ask Joshua to leave because he insists on seeing Maddie while Maddie will only rage more if Castelia tries to stop her, so let her rage to her heart's content.
Joshua calmly responded, "You are Castelia's family, she only has you. So, I hope we can get along well."
