Chapter 198

Even when Noah had Wayne pull the car around and drive them back to Maple Forest Villa, Madeline’s head was still spinning. Mentally exhausted, Madeline started drifting off to sleep in the car. When Noah noticed that Madeline was fast asleep, he instinctively leaned toward her to let her lie comfortably in his arms.

Madeline awoke to find that she and Noah had arrived at the villa and that Noah had fallen asleep while hugging her. Under the moonlight, his beautiful eyelashes stood out like the ones on a doll she had liked as a child. As Madeline reached her hand out to touch them gently, Noah’s lashes fluttered ever so lightly before he opened his eyes.

“Oh, you’re awake. We’ve arrived; let’s go.” Once Madeline realized what she was doing, she withdrew her hand and sprinted out of the vehicle first.

Noah moved his numbed arm around and sat up, only to feel a sharp pain from the wound on his abdomen. Despite the discomfort, he stepped out of the car. Seeing Madeline scurrying into the villa, he smiled and followed suit.

Upon entering the residence, Madeline immediately sensed that something was off. Pieces of luggage were neatly stacked in the living room, and Mr. Charles was hard at work in the adjacent open kitchen with several other servants. She felt her appetite rising in response to the tantalizing aromas from the kitchen. Meanwhile, Thomas could be found seated at the table, enjoying one of the freshly baked egg tarts.

“Hm, seems like Mr. Charles has already prepared our meal. You must’ve been famished. Shall we have a meal together?” Noah walked in and said.

“Uh… yes, I’m hungry, but do you mind explaining what’s going on with this?” Madeline pointed at the stack of luggage at the side.

“Oh, these must be the luggage I asked Mr. Charles to move. Since most of my property now belongs to you, I’m penniless now and must rely on your support going forward.”

“What?” Madeline exclaimed. Indeed, she accepted the property ownership certificate but did not expect this sudden twist of events!

“Have no fear, Ms. Madeline. I still own a successful business and can guarantee you a luxurious lifestyle.” Noah smiled as Madeline stayed silent. She was furious that she was tricked!

“I did not agree to that!”

“I know. That’s why I voluntarily bestowed everything to you.” Madeline was surprised by Noah’s explanation, which he delivered solemnly. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“I didn’t…” mean that.

Before Madeline could explain, Thomas interrupted, “Mommy, you’re back! Here, have an egg tart by Mr. Charles. It’s so delicious!” Thomas immediately sprang down from his chair and ran toward her.

Thomas was excited to finally try one of Mr. Charles’s egg tarts and could not wait to share it with Madeline. Madeline felt her heart melt upon realizing her precious son was thinking about her, and she crouched down and hugged the little fellow.

Fine, I’ll talk to Noah later once I get the chance.

“You’re back, Mrs. Quincy,” Charles greeted. “The food is ready.”

“Thank you, Mr. Charles.”

“You’re welcome, Mrs. Quincy. If there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to tell me,” Charles responded cheerfully without losing a hint of respect toward Madeline.

Charles was overjoyed to learn that Madeline was the young mistress of the Quincy family and the mother to Noah’s two kids. As he waited for her arrival back at the Quincy family’s villa, he took the opportunity to cook up a feast.

“I’ll be in your care then, Mr. Charles.”

“Of course, it is our duty to keep the young mistress happy and healthy…” Mr. Charles replied while leading Madeline to the dining room, completely ignoring Noah, who was standing at the side.

Madeline was feeling somewhat awkward, but when she noticed that the dishes on the table were all to her liking, she quickly felt her stomach growl.

“Thank you, Mr. Charles. I’ll be sure to savor every single dish.” It was nice to be greeted with a delicious feast after a long journey. When Madeline was about to eat, she noticed that her favorite dish – sweet braised pork ribs – was placed right in front of her.

“Be careful. It’s hot,” Noah gently reminded Madeline.

“How do you know this is my favorite dish? It seems that the dishes here were prepared according to my liking.”

“Madeline, what if I told you I remembered everything you ever told me?”

Outside Enchanteur Bar, Joseph furiously stomped back to the parking lot while Fred silently followed him. He had been by Joseph’s side for many years and knew that Joseph despised anyone that would

bring up his bloodline. Noah, however, hit the bull’s eye and honed in on Joseph’s weak spot. Fred clearly recalled that the two young masters were close to each other when he first entered the Quincy family household. To think that it had boiled down to this…

Fred was pulled out of his thoughts when he realized they had reached the car and rushed to open the door for Joseph. Once Joseph was in the car, he ran to the driver’s seat.

“Sir, are we heading back to the castle now?”

“Go to…”

Ding dong! Beep beep! When Joseph was about to respond to Fred, the phone in his pocket rang. Before he could even look at his phone, he heard a strange sound of a timer starting in the car, which was instantly followed by a tick-tock noise like a clock.

“Fred, get out!”

A loud explosion followed Joseph’s scream. At the same time, Joseph hurriedly exited the vehicle and leaped forward with all his might to avoid the oncoming heat wave. He got back to his feet and looked around, only to see the car in flames. He watched as the car turned into a mere metal frame in a matter of minutes.

For a while, Joseph stood there, taking in the scene before him, his heart ablaze with rage. Meanwhile, the explosive force sent Fred flying a few feet away, injuring his arm, but he could not care less and hastened for Joseph.

“Sir, are you alright? Are you hurt?”

“I’m alright. It’s just dirt on my clothes.” Joseph noticed Fred’s wound and frowned but did not show his concern to Fred.

Ding dong! Suddenly, Joseph’s phone rang again to alert him to unread messages. Frustrated, he took out his phone and read the message sent from an unknown number.

“Don’t you touch my man!”
