Chapter 204
Elise was so furious by Madeline’s slow reaction.
The fish almost got burnt.
"But… I don't seem to know how to love someone anymore." Madeline murmured slowly after a while.
Not since she came back from the dead five years ago.
It's not like she never had admirers, but she just couldn’t get herself to fall for someone again.
It was as if her heart had turned on an auto-protection mechanism. Whenever she had any first hint of
affection, it will automatically avoid every possible risk. “Stay away from those people.”
She thought that it was her own obsession over Noah, that she would love nobody else but him.
But when Noah confessed that he loved her, what she felt more is fear.
The fear of repeating the same mistakes, afraid to expose her true self.
Looking at Madeline’s expression, Elise knew that those sad stories were keeping in her mind.
As Elise was figuring out ways to comfort her, she turned around and was startled to find Noah
standing by the kitchen door.
"Uhh… Noah?"
Oh gosh… When was he here? Don’t tell me he had heard everything of what Maddie just said.
Damn you, Dylan, don't you know how to make a sound? He’s your best friend! At least inform us don’t
you?
Elise angrily cursed Dylan several times in her heart.
"Thanks for your help, Ms. Elise!"
"My pleasure, Mr. Quincy!" Even though feeling slightly awkward, Elise showed a professional fake
smile.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why are you here?" Madeline turned after she was well mentally-prepared to face him.
Noah didn't look happy, and Madeline felt a little awkward with her question.
" I'm here of course! I am here to have lunch with my wife!" The gloom on Noah’s face melted away
when he looked at Madeline, replaced by a gentle expression rarely seen on his face, he reached out
to her pale hand.
"You seemed tired recently, I'll take a nap with you after lunch" Noah led Madeline out of the kitchen
towards the living room, nagging as he went.
He’s like a worried old father!
Madeline was a bit overwhelmed at this moment.
"Aren’t you angry, Noah?" Madeline hesitated for a moment, but still asked out of curiosity.
"Why would I be angry, my wife?" Noah stood still and looked at her.
"You might have heard it just now; I don't seem to know how to love someone."
Madeline lowered her head, like a child who made a mistake.
Noah suddenly felt heartache by looking at her.
He leaned closer and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"My wife is just in her self-protection mode, why should I be angry? I just feel heartbroken seeing you
like this, Maddie. Trust me, let me fix this, okay?"
Madeline couldn't help but startled by his words.
She felt warmth down her heart at that moment.
At the same time, on the balcony of the living room. Dylan was cautiously peering through the doorway,
watching what was happening inside.
Thomas and Colt followed behind, eagerly awaiting the romantic scene between his mom and dad.
Colt was curious too about the latest situation of his parent’s relationship. However, he was just
watching aside, as earlier he had observed that they might unable to see anything from that angle.
He initially wanted to use his computer but was annoyed by Thomas.
He regretted missing this Little Devil brother once, even for a few seconds.
The little bag Thomas was carrying was still on his back since he arrived, and he was even holding
half-finished chocolate milk in his hand.
But he can't care much about these, he only wants to follow Dylan to watch his parent’s romance.
Since he felt that Scumbag Dad was not that terrible, it might be not a bad thing if his mom was willing
to get together with his Scumbag Dad.
After all, a rich dad who could casually buy you a computer worth a few million dollars is not easy to
have anywhere!
But now the door was occupied by Dylan alone, he couldn't see anything.
"Uncle Dylan, what do you see? Tell us please."
"Don't rush me! It’s too far away, I can't see anything from this view, hold on ......" Dylan whispered to
comfort him, then adjusted his posture, to look in from the side.
Unfortunately, the balcony was not directly opposite the living room. His sight was all blocked by the
door panel, even after adjusting the view.
Dylan insisted on peeping from that direction, even his back sore from the weird position, until the
balcony door was pulled open out of sudden.
He lost his balance and straightaway fell in front, hugging Noah’s thigh.
"Ouch!"
"Hey Noah! What a coincidence hahaha…, you were also here, huh?" Dylan was trying to be
humorous.
"Can you get away from me?"
"My back is sore, help me up!" Dylan deliberately pretended to be weak, trying to switch the topic.
This trick had always been tried and true.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUsually when he wanted to cheat, as long as he began to act weak and clingy, Noah would
immediately agree to his request out of disgust.
This is Felch’s practice of nonsense.
But what Dylan did not expect was, this trick did not work well for this situation.
"Look, Maddie! This two couple got me so excited hahaha!"
As Elise squealed, he felt his face burning hot, but looking into Noah’s eyes, he felt even wronged.
Skeynia Castle
Joseph watched the signal of Madeline's intrusion withdrawn, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
He picked up his cane, took a step, and strode towards the third basement level.
Fred immediately followed him.
"Sir, our firewall has been breached, why don't you let us strengthen our defense?" Fred looked a little
worried.
He was asking the doctor in the castle for medication when he suddenly received a security alert, so he
came to report hurriedly.
He didn’t expect that Joseph seemed to expect it, and he even laughed about it, like he wasn't anxious
at all.
He felt confused.
"No hurry, there are guests coming in the evening, just leave aside these small matters."
"Guests? Do you mean those who just invaded the security system of the castle?" Fred responded
shortly, he seemed to understand what Joseph meant.
"You are not that dumb." Joseph looked at Fred with relief, who was finally enlightened.
"Don't worry, Sir. I will have people get ready in advance, and will make sure that our visitors have no
return."
"No, you gotta be careful, don't hurt my Maddie!"
