Chapter 370 Daddy Always Smiles At Mommy
"Yeah. I told Zeke about it but she didn't believe me. Can you also get one made for Colt?" Thomas sat by Xander's bed, clearly unwilling to leave.
Noah picked the child up before Xander could reply. "Uncle Xander is still sick. Stop bothering him. You have me to buy you whatever you want."
"But godfather…" Thomas turned to look at Xander.
Noah, however, turned him around and walked right out. "I'll buy you Spiderman protective clothing."
"Really? Just like Spiderman?" Thomas's eyes lit up.
"Yes. I'll also build a new computer for you, with state-of-the-art configuration," Noah continued.
Thomas was dancing with excitement. "I also want a race car, the kind that can transform into King Kong!"
"Okay. I'll buy you anything you want. Everyone will get one each."
"You're the best Daddy!"
Madeline felt a headache coming along as she listened in on the conversation between father and son. Was Noah going to go mad and buy Thomas everything he wanted? She took Colton's hand and pinched Noah's waist.
"Don't just randomly buy him things. His room isn't a dumpster."
Noah only smiled and said nothing. He turned back to see Mackenzie still standing by Xander's bed. The bedridden man was even teasingly pinching the little girl's cheek. The sight made him frown.
"Time to go, princess."
Mackenzie smiled sweetly at Xander, then trotted over to Noah who picked her up into his arms.
Xander felt sad to see the family of five leaving.
Mackenzie's words to him echoed in his head. "Mommy will cry if Daddy leaves." © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
He watched Madeline cry for Noah more than once throughout the five years he remained by her side. He always thought that it was because she hated him for his frivolity. He never considered that she still had feelings for him.
Even Mackenzie could see that her mother loved Noah dearly. It was Madeline who refused to see the truth.
He had to get better quick to remain by her side. He grew afraid that he was never going to see her again.
While the family was on the way back, Madeline received a call from Albert. "Trenton has shown himself, Ms. Madeline."
"Good." Madeline shot a glance at Noah who was driving. When they reached a traffic stop, she started, "I want to go see an old friend. Just drop me off at the street ahead."
"You don't need us to come with you?" Noah raised a brow.
She shook her head. "No need. I can go by myself."
Noah wasn't willing to leave her and leveled a stare at her.
She explained herself, "She's a woman! A woman, okay?"
"In this day and age, even women aren't out of the count." Noah was already driving up to the street but he didn't stop.
She grew anxious. Trenton showing up so rashly meant he wanted the special remedy. If she didn't take the opportunity to catch him now, catching him again would only get more difficult in the future
She couldn't drag Noah and her kids into this.
"Can you stop being so unreasonable, Mr. Quincy? I have my own life to live. Let me off!" Her tone got colder as anger began to flare.
Noah said nothing and instead began to speed up.
Mackenzie tried to ask Madeline when she noticed how a fight was about to break out, "Who are you going to see, Mommy? Is it Ms. Lily?"
Madeline felt a pang of guilt well up in her heart at the sight of her daughter's hurt. Her tone softened considerably. "Yes. I want to see Lily."
"But Ms. Lily has already moved to Ledora. She came to see me before she left," Thomas cut in.
"Really? When did she move to Ledora?" Madeline could only sigh internally at that. The random reason she made up was seen through in an instant.
"Right after Mommy got back to Imperia. Ms. Lily even said she would treat me to a steak if I go see her at Ledora someday."
With her escape plan gone like the wind, she had no choice but to return to the villa alongside them.
Returning back to base wasn't a completely bad thing either. She could get changed into proper attire that allowed ease of movement. Noah was going to get on her case if she got injured.
Madeline was thinking about how she could send Noah away so that she could get changed but when they pulled into the driveway, he didn't get out of the car. He simply dropped the children off, and said to her, "I'm feeling some barbecue ribs tonight."
"Where are you going?" Madeline watched him uneasily as he started the engine.
He raised a brow. "We're buying stuff for our son."
"Can you stop spending money like water? He has enough for every day of the year and still have spares. Do you even know how much those cost?" She couldn't help but nag.
The nagging and chattering had Noah and the children smiling at her.
Noah could barely hold back and began to burst into laughter.
It was her first time seeing Noah laughing so wholeheartedly.
The children followed suit into their own brands of laughter.
She knew how they were laughing at her nags but the hilarity of the situation had her smiling.
"You have nothing to worry about, my dearest wife. Your husband is very rich." He winked at her.
"None of you know the value of money. Don't come crying to me when the well one day dries up." Madeline watched Noah who was throwing her smug looks as if her nagging just now had nothing to do with her. This was the same as admitting that she was his wife.
She went back to the house with Thomas and Colton holding her hands.
Mackenzie lagged behind and gave her father a peace sign. Noah then drove off.
"I thought you were still making fun of me." Madeline feigned anger and shook herself out of their grip.
Thomas continued to tug at her with no hesitation. Colton was at a loss for a split second until he followed suit.
"We weren't laughing at Mommy," Thomas said.
Colton nodded.
"Tell me what you were laughing at then?" She shook them off again and watched as Mackenzie took Thomas's hand.
"Daddy laughed so I laughed too. I've never seen Daddy laugh like that before." Colton said seriously.
Madeline wrinkled her nose. "That man's born with a paralyzed face."
"That's not true. Daddy always smiles when he sees Mommy. We can see it in his eyes. And face. And mouth." Colton helpfully pointed out his own features.
