Chapter 308

Maddox was stunned for a moment before laughing. He realized his fans had always called him Maddie after he entered the entertainment industry. Hearing them call him “Mad King,” he felt a sense of nostalgia. However, he preferred to be called Maddie now because Phoebe often called him that. He smiled and reached out to pat their shoulders. “Then let them be envious. There’s something else they’ll be even more envious of. I can carry you to victory in the game, while Pheebs can carry you in the polo match.”

The two of them had watched live-stream variety shows because they liked Maddox. Therefore, they liked Phoebe so much that they even treated her as a goddess. Now, when they heard Maddox say this, their eyes lit up. “If Pheebs can carry us to victory, more people will be jealous of us.”

They felt they had made the right decision to come here this time. Not only could they form a team with their idol, but they could also be carried by their goddess. Just thinking about it made them feel smug.

At the same time, they also realized that Mad King was indeed a Pheebs booster. ‘No matter what he did, he always mentioned Pheebs. He must like her a lot.’ Not only did they notice it, but the people in the live-stream also discovered it.

[Oh dear, all he ever talks about is Pheebs. Maddie is a lost cause.] [Before he met Pheebs, Maddie was a walking hormone. After meeting Pheebs, he became a walking Pheebs booster.] [Listen to that proud tone. It’s as if he’s praising his wife.] [Aha, Maddie is so cute. He’s so proud that Pheebs is capable.] [Oh, it’s so sweet. I’m so enchanted as a fan of the couple.] [I hope they can be together. The two of them are a perfect match.] A bunch of fans even said they should be together.

At the Hooper family home, on this day every week, as long as the Hooper family members were not working, they would return to the Hooper mansion to eat with Steward and Camellia. Usually, they would come over around ten in the morning and sit together to chat. Initially, they were talking about work or family matters. But Steward suddenly had an impulse. “Didn’t Maddie go on a live broadcast variety show? Why don’t we watch it?”

When Camellia heard this, she smiled and said, “Okay, okay.” Then, she looked at her children and juniors and said, “Steward and I have been watching Maddie’s live broadcast variety show when we’re free. It’s quite interesting.”

The couple liked their youngest grandson the most because he was so good at pleasing them. Initially, she did not watch the live broadcast variety show Maddox participated in. However, after learning that her grandson had fallen into the water and been rescued, she became extremely nervous. She decided to keep an eye on him and started watching the live-streamed variety show instead. Unexpectedly, she became addicted to it after watching it. After watching the last episode with Camellia, Steward also got addicted to it. Before these juniors came home, they had been watching the live broadcast together.

Everyone in the Hooper family knew that Maddox was the treasure of Steward and Camellia. Naturally, they would not go against him. Maddox’s parents were usually very busy and did not have time to watch variety shows. When they heard their parents say they wanted to watch their youngest son’s live broadcast now, they also felt quite curious. After all, not only did Steward and Camellia love Maddox, but they also loved him.

The Hooper family was united internally. There was no discord between the siblings. Instead, they were very close. The whole family liked Maddox, the youngest family jester in the third generation. Therefore, no one was unwilling. Since they were all watching together as a family, using a mobile phone wouldn’t be suitable. So they turned on the TV to watch it together.

At that moment, the live broadcast reached the part where Maddox and his three companions were looking for teammates. After that, Maddox invited others and became a Pheebs booster.

Maddox’s female cousin, one year older than him, had been watching this live broadcast. Seeing him like this, she couldn’t help but smile and say, “I knew it. He’s going to be a Pheebs booster again.”

Maddox’s mother asked curiously, “A Pheebs booster? What’s that?” Maddox’s female cousin pointed at Phoebe on TV and said, “This female celebrity in their group is called Phoebe. In the show, Maddie brags about Pheebs wherever he goes, telling everyone how amazing she is. That’s why many fans say that he’s a Pheebs booster.” Then she opened the comments section on her phone for them to see.

Griffen Hooper, Maddox’s mother, took the phone and looked at it. Then, she saw all kinds of jokes and well wishes from fans in the comments. She was stunned, clearly surprised. However, she was not unfamiliar with the name Phoebe. She had wanted to visit Phoebe to repay her for saving Maddox, but Maddox said that he would repay her by himself and told her not to go. That was why she did not go personally. She thought they would help Phoebe if she was in trouble in the future and needed their help.

Now, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “This brat, no wonder he didn’t let me find Phoebe to thank her. He even said that he was afraid that I would scare her. So this is how he wants to repay her.” As a mother, how could she not tell that her son had taken a fancy to Phoebe? In the past, she had never seen her son praise anyone, especially with such a proud expression.

This was also the first time the others had seen Maddox praise someone so much. After all, Maddox had been a little tyrant since he was young. When they saw him praise someone that way, it was like seeing pigs fly.

Maddox’s uncle asked, “Has Maddie fallen for this girl?” Maddox’s parents were busy with work. Therefore, they sent Maddox to the Hooper mansion to be raised. At that time, Maddox’s uncle had also lived in the Hooper mansion. It could be said that he had raised Maddox, so their relationship was naturally not ordinary.

I had thought that, with Maddie’s arrogant, conceited, and snarky personality, it would be difficult for him to find a girl who suited his taste,’ Maddox’s uncle thought. He could not imagine what kind of terrible scene it would be when Maddox interacted with a girl. He thought Maddox would be arrogant and sharp-tongued, but he did not expect Maddox to be like this.

Maddox’s female cousin smiled and said, “I’ve watched every variety show. He must like Pheebs a lot. Not only is he a Pheebs booster, but he’s also very caring and considerate toward Pheebs. He’s even fawning, completely different from his usual self, the little tyrant.” Then, she added, “But Pheebs is indeed very good. Her personality matches Maddie’s.”

She was a fan of Phoebe and had even joined the fan group. However, in front of the elders, she naturally couldn’t say she was Phoebe’s fan.

Steward smiled and said, “Ever since Maddie was on this variety show, he has changed a lot. When he was not in the same group as Phoebe in this episode, he worked as a shop assistant and sold clothes in a clothing shop. He’s doing it like a pro, which is pretty good. I like Phoebe. She’s down-to-earth, confident, and self-reliant. She’s indeed a good match for our little tyrant.”

With Maddox’s bad temper, no one at home can discipline him other than me and Camellia. Now, it seems that Phoebe can also do it. That’s good. Steward thought.

Camellia smiled and said, “I like Pheebs very much. After watching three episodes of the variety show, I still do. Her frank and uninhibited personality is really to my liking.” She looked at her son and daughter-in-law and said, “If Maddie pursues Phoebe, don’t stop him or interfere.”

Latham Hooper was a handsome man with a superior’s temperament. He looked to be around forty years old, but he was nearing his fifties. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Camellia and said, “Mom, our family has never insisted that our children must find a spouse from a similar social background. Therefore, as long as Maddie likes it, we won’t interfere or object. Besides, if it’s what this little tyrant wants to do, it’s useless even if we object to it.”

Steward and Camellia were not the only ones who doted on Maddox. Latham, Griffen, and their three other daughters spoiled Maddox very much. That was why Maddox was like a little tyrant at home.

Griffen was a beautiful woman who exuded a gentle and intellectual aura. She smiled and said, “Yes, we won’t object to it as long as Maddie likes it. Besides, the girl you two like can’t be bad.” Her eyes were gentle as she looked at Phoebe on the live broadcast and said, “I like this girl too. She’s beautiful and hearty. I can’t wait for Maddie to woo her and bring her home.”

They had never interfered in the relationships of their other three children, let alone their youngest son. Griffen had been worried that her youngest son couldn’t find a girlfriend with his personality. Now, when she saw her son had a chance of having a girlfriend, she wouldn’t object to it. Instead, she was very supportive. Their family did not value their daughter-in-law’s background as long as her character was not bad.

Camellia smiled and said, “Yes, I agree. I can’t wait for Maddie to bring Pheebs home.”

Seeing that Steward and Camellia liked Phoebe, the Hooper family members were surprised. After all, the couple had never expressed any opinions when their grandchildren found a girlfriend. They could tell the couple liked Phoebe quite a lot. Then, the family did not chat much and focused on the live broadcast. They also wanted to see what the girl, who could change the little tyrant at home and make him fall for her, was like.
