Chapter 156

As Thomas’ phone screen unlocked, his conversation with Madeline was the first thing to pop up. Noah

quickly glanced through Madeline’s messages.

“Thomas, where’s your Daddy?” the latest message from Madeline read.

Noah gave it all but a moment’s thought before sending Madeline his live location. He waited eagerly

for her reply, but there was nothing but silence from her after a few long minutes. Noah put the phone

back into Thomas’ pocket and stared at the ceiling in frustration.

Did she really ghost me after asking for my location? Noah wondered in irritation. Does she not care for

me, even just a little? How hurtful! As these thoughts began to fill Noah’s mind, the door to the office

suddenly flung open. He could recognize those footsteps any day. He quickly shut his eyes, pretending

to be asleep as Madeline walked into the office.

Madeline had figured out Noah’s location from the video Thomas had sent her earlier. However, she did

not expect to find a sickly Noah lying on the sofa in Andy’s office, with Thomas sleeping by his side.

She softened her strides, not wanting to wake either of them up. She wanted to carry Thomas into her

arms, but she noticed the little brat grabbing on the Noah’s sleeve like his life depended on it. She

could not tear them apart even if she tried, so she quickly abandoned the idea for the time-being.

She crouched down close to Noah, feeling his forehead just like he did for her not too long ago. It felt a

little warm, so she decided to grab him a cold towel to bring down his temperature. Just as she turned

away, someone grabbed hold of her arm.

“Don’t go,” Noah’s recognizable voice called out.

“You’re awake?” Madeline turned back to look at Noah, but he was still lying there with his eyes closed,

unresponsive to her question.

Madeline figured he was having a dream and tried to remove her arm from his grip once again. Noah

was unexpectedly strong for a sleeping person, Madeline realized as she struggled to free herself from

him.

“Let go of me, you brute! How am I going to grab you a towel like this?” she grunted. She was surprised

and confused to find that Noah’s grip had loosened as soon as she said those words. Once again, she

tried to leave, but once again, Noah’s hand would tighten around her arm. She was beginning to

suspect if Noah was doing this on purpose! She decided to test him.

There was a longstanding myth about people who pretended to be asleep; their eyelashes would

quiver uncontrollably. Madeline tried to observe the movement of his eyelashes as she quietly

approached his face, holding her breath to avoid stirring him. She was right! His eyelashes were

quivering!!

“Noah Quincy, you…. Mmmm!!” Madeline began, but she was quickly cut off by a sudden kiss from

Noah as he pulled her into his arms. Madeline was exploding with anger, feeling cheated by Noah’s

antics.

“Noah, how dare you…” she scolded, but was once again interrupted by Noah.

“Shhhh, don’t wake the kid up!” he whispered as he placed a finger on her lips.

“I’m glad you know there’s a kid around. How can you act like such a brute in front of children?!” The

more Madeline thought about it, the angrier she became. Noah had clearly taken advantage of her!

“You were so close to me, I thought I was dreaming…” Noah explained in earnest.

“You!” Madeline gritted out. She realized it was no use arguing against a brute like Noah Quincy, so she

quickly freed herself before rushing toward Thomas. However, she was one step too late as Noah

easily carried a sleeping Thomas into his arms.

“Madeline,” Noah began. “Do you… still care for me? Even just a little?” He looked at Madeline

hopefully.

“Of course I care for you, Noah. After all, you’re the father to my children. I hope you’ll live long and

make more money so you can leave them a larger inheritance,” she replied coldly, rendering Noah

speechless at her heartlessness.

She extended her arms, silently warning Noah to hand Thomas over. He obliged, carefully passing

Thomas over and into her arms before he began to speak again.

“Madeline, I’m sorry, I didn’t think that taking Thomas away would give you a seizure attack. I wasn’t

intending to split the two of you apart, I was just a little angry at the time…” Noah explained himself

when he noticed Madeline was about to turn around and leave the room.

“Mm,” Madeline muttered with her back toward Noah so he could not see the emotions clouding her

face. She began toward the door when Noah’s voice filled the space between them once again.

“Could you… ever forgive me?” His voice was a brokenhearted plea.

“Noah, does it really matter if I forgive you or not? You’re Noah Quincy after all, and you never cared

about how others feel,” Madeline bit out.

“It matters. It matters to me,” Noah responded.

“Fine. For the sake of our children, I’ll forgive you. Please stop disturbing my sleep with stupid videos,”

Madeline told Noah off before turning around to give him a fierce, hard stare.

However, Noah’s expression had changed slightly. “Huh?” he expressed his confusion. What video?

Did he miss something?

……

Suzette Grant was seething with rage as she found herself being turned away at Madeline Grant’s door

after being cheated of $1 million, by Madeline herself no less. She had never suffered such disrespect

in her life! She was unlucky to have been cheated by Elise, someone she thought was close to her and

on her side. However, she did not expect Elise to be good buddies with Madeline too. This was clearly

a set up!

Suzette refused to leave the grounds of Maple Forest Villa. The moment she bumped into Elise

Lambert, she promised herself she would not let Elise leave this place alive! However, before her plan

for revenge could take place, Suzette noticed the gates to the villa opening and a few cars leaving the

compound in a rush. It seemed like something big had happened!

As Suzette’s curiosity kicked in, she stealthily tailed the vehicles from behind all the way to the hospital

where Madeline had been warded. Did that stupid wench fall sick? She snickered in glee as she

considered the possibility. From the urgency of her staff, it seemed likely that something serious had

happened to Madeline. An untimely death, perhaps?

Ha ha ha! Suzette knew it! Madeline Grant would never have the privilege of becoming the upper class

wife she had always dreamed of becoming. Looks like she finally worked herself to death! Suzette

thought to herself as she parked her car and crept into the hospital.

She decided to do some investigating of her own as she quickly pilfered a nurse’s uniform from one of

the changing rooms. If she found Madeline on the brink of death, she would quickly do her a favor.

Madeline was just an illegitimate daughter of hers who despised her to no end. There was no benefit to

Suzette if she let the ungrateful wench live! She might as well die! Suzette sneaked in and out of the

hospital wards one by one in search of Madeline Grant.
