Chapter 456 The Solace Family Cannot Force Me

Madeline had just gotten her period, putting her in intense pain from the cramps. Alexander had

accompanied her to the pharmacy to get some painkillers, but nothing seemed to be working.

“Hey, why are you guys here? Have you eaten?” Madeline asked Thomas weakly, but her eyes were

directed at Noah. She was slightly miffed at him for taking the kids out instead of hosting the

engagement party. It was already late in the afternoon and growing children should not be skipping

their meals.

“We just ate, Mommy, and we got some takeout for you,” Colton grabbed the paper bag that Noah was

holding onto and placed it on the space next to Madeline.

Madeline shook her head feebly. “I don’t feel like eating right now. Why don’t you guys follow Daddy

home first?”

“What are you doing here anyway?” Noah’s heart ached when he saw him in such a state. All he

wanted to do was take her into his arms and comfort her, but he knew that Madeline was distancing

himself from her right now. If he tried to force things between them, it would only make her more upset.

He still distinctly remembered the words she said to him during the car accident last night. He vowed

not to make decisions on her behalf anymore before checking in with her first.

“Something came up,” Madeline replied curtly. She did not know what was going on either, but the

three Solace siblings had requested for her to stay back to discuss something with Old Mr. Solace. She

could not say no to them, and truthfully, she was quite worried about Old Mr. Solace’s condition too.

Noah’s eyes flashed with cold anger for a second, and Madeline thought he was about to cause a

commotion and carry her off again. Instead, he just sat down by her side wordlessly and opened the

food packet. He scooped a spoonful of the soup and brought it close to her lips. Madeline was about to

insist she did not have an appetite, but her lips opened up on reflex. The soup was hot and savory,

warming up her tummy.

It was only after he fed her the spoonful of soup that Noah realized he might be pressuring Madeline

again. He cautiously glanced at her to gauge how she was feeling and was relieved to find her looking

at the bowl of soup eagerly. Happily, he fed her another spoonful of soup. Madeline was enjoying the

soup when she noticed Noah gazing at her tenderly, causing her to blush profusely and choke on her

soup.

“Are you alright?” Noah asked worriedly as he patted her back to help her breathe.

“I’m fine,” Madeline leaned a palm against Noah’s arm to support herself.

“Drink up slowly. No one’s fighting with you for the soup,” Noah’s voice was sweet and caring, almost

as if he was treating her like a child that needed to be coaxed. Madeline could feel the blush creeping

up against her cheeks again. She concentrated on drinking the soup, not daring to sneak another look

at Noah.

It could have been the soup, or the joy of seeing her children, but her stomach did not seem to be in so

much pain any longer. The three children watched as their parents reconciled and happily exchanged

looks. Cheekily, they made their way toward the door of the ward and peeked inside through the door

crack. They noticed Old Mr. Solace lying on the bed, while the three Solace brothers were kneeling by

the bed.

“Are the uncles in trouble?” Thomas wondered out loud. Wanting to hear their conversation, he leaned

too heavily against the door and lost his balance, causing him to hit his head against the door and

alerting the men inside the ward.

Old Mr. Solace turned his head only to find the three children at the door looking shifty-eyed and guilty.

His anger and frustration with his three grandsons disappeared in an instant. He looked at his great-

grandchildren lovingly, thinking to himself how sweet and adorable each one of them was.

“Get up. Call your sister in here,” Old Mr. Solace glared at his three grandsons who were still kneeling.

Rowan Solace eyed the ECG machine that his grandfather was hooked up to. Noticing most of his

vitals had stabilized, he decided that it was safe to bring Madeline in. However, when Noah wanted to

join Madeline, Rowan stopped him from coming into the ward. “Mr. Quincy, I’m afraid it’s not a good

time for Grandfather to see you right now.”

“I go where my wife goes,” Noah’s message was curt and direct. He never had a good impression of

the Solaces, and he refused to allow them to come in the way of his relationship with his wife.

“Why can’t Daddy go in?” Zeke whined, looking unhappy with Rowan.

“Because Grandpa has something private to talk to your Mommy about,” Rowan explained to Zeke

gently.

“We’re one family, there’s nothing private between us,” Zeke replied in earnest, pouting to make sure

Rowan knew she was not happy.

Thomas and Colton also made a show of standing by Noah’s side. If their Daddy was not allowed in,

they would not budge either.

Rowan shot Madeline a helpless look, silently pleading for her to step in. Based on Noah’s experience,

Madeline was more likely to be on Rowan’s side and chase him away, but he was not going anywhere

today.

“I’m not too close with Old Mr. Solace. I don’t think there’s anything my family should not be allowed to

know,” Madeline said calmly, much to Rowan’s surprise.

Noah could barely hide the shock from his face. He was still under the impression that Madeline was

still mad at him and would distance herself away from him as much as possible. The last thing he had

expected her to do was confess their relationship to Rowan.

“Well… come in then,” Rowan muttered. Since Madeline had made herself clear, he could not possibly

hold Noah back.

Old Mr. Solace’s face lit up with joy and happiness the moment he saw Madeline and the children, but

his smile quickly disappeared when he noticed Noah Quincy trailing behind them. Rowan had

previously briefed him on Madeline and Rowan’s star-crossed relationship. In his eyes, Noah had

recklessly abandoned Madeline for another woman and almost caused her death. There was nothing

good to be said about a man like that. The princess of the Solace family could have any man she

desired, so there was no need to return to a sleazeball like him. Worse still, said sleazebag was

supposed to be engaged to his other granddaughter! Was he openly going after two women at the

same time?!

Noah could sense the old man’s misunderstanding from the hateful look on his face. “The man who got

engaged to Annalise Solace today was my cousin brother, Joseph Quincy. I’ve only ever had one wife,

and that woman is Madeline,” Noah explained himself before Madeline could say anything.

“That was not the arrangement I made with Gordon Quincy back then,” Old Mr. Solace raised a brow.

“Back then, you made an agreement with my grandfather that your granddaughter will be betrothed to

the heir of Quinton Corporation. Well, Joseph is one of the heirs of the company now, so the agreement

still stands,” Noah continued.

Old Mr. Solace stared at Noah with obvious displeasure in his eyes. “But you know the man Annalise

fancies is you!” he snapped/

“I’ve rejected Annalise’s advances many times now. If you think the man that your granddaughter

fancies should dump his wife and children just to marry your granddaughter, then I can only tell you…

the Solace family cannot force me into doing something like that,” there was a hint of challenge in

Noah’s voice.
