Chapter 141
When Madeline finally entered the house after getting things done with Albert, Thomas was the only
person left in Dylan’s house.
Thomas was looking at his cell phone, smiling. This boy must be up to no good! Madeline approached
him, “Thomas, where is Colt? Is he at the laboratory?”
“Yes, daddy brought lil’ brother downstairs for a check-up,” answered Thomas. Madeline grabbed his
arm and pulled him toward the elevator, “Well, let’s go there then.”
As she got closer to him, she noticed a QR code displayed on his screen. “What are you doing with this
QR code?” She asked.
“It was simply a joke with Uncle Dylan,” said Thomas, amused, “It scared him off though.”
Madeline sighed. This boy is getting naughtier; perhaps I should send him to kindergarten, so he would
have better use of his time.
The moment they reached the elevator, the door opened and Noah walked out from it.
“The check-up shows Colt is fine. Madeline, how about you and I make some pancakes for the kids to
celebrate?” Noah approached Madeline and bent down to whisper to her.
Madeline frowned but did not retort. She turned toward Thomas, “Thomas, why don’t you go and look
for Colt first?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Since both of you do not want me here, I will go,” said Thomas, disappointed not because Madeline
would not accompany him, but because he could not stay to watch whatever that was going to happen.
Madeline sighed and pushed Thomas into the elevator, sending him off. It was such a feat taking care
of a genius child. She could never fool him.
As soon as Madeline and Noah were left alone, she turned to him, “Tell me, Noah, what do you want to
do with me alone? I do not think you only want to make pancakes with me. I believe you may also want
to talk about custody of our kids.”
“We are still married,” said Noah as he slowly approached Madeline, forcing her against the wall,
“Therefore, both of us will take care of the kids together. Why would you think otherwise?”
Madeline felt Noah was uncomfortably close and it felt too intimate. She tried to remain calm as she
stared at him, “I no longer want to be married to you, Noah. I thought I was clear about this.”
She looked at him as if he was simply a stranger, and she had no feelings at all for him. She had
neither love nor hatred for him.
“Why don’t we give it a try before you make your decision?” Noah was annoyed by the way she acted,
“To be frank, I will never allow us to be divorced. I will never allow my kids to be away from the Quincy
family.” He could not believe she had no feelings for him anymore.
“Noah, are you seriously threatening me with our kids?” Madeline glared at him, furious.
He laughed. “It is good to see you could still get angry at me. I don’t care if you hate me or despise me,
as long as you stay by my side. Alright?”
Noah pulled her into his arms and whispered into her ears. Madeline was startled. He was not the
familiar Noah she knew. He was now a madman craving her companionship.
She could not fathom why. Did he ask her to stay, regardless if she loved or hated him because he
wanted the kids to stay with him?
“Noah, let’s stop fighting, shall we? Even if we are divorced, we can still take care of the kids together.
You can always visit them, and you will always be their daddy. Now, are we good?” She gently said,
letting him hold her in his arms.
“No, we are not good,” he was determined, “I am never letting you go, Madeline!”
“Why? Why are you being so weird, Noah?” Madeline frowned, “You wanted me dead, didn’t you?
Even though I am still alive now with the kids, I am not stopping you to visit the kids. What else do you
want from me?”
He held her so tightly she almost could not breathe. The feeling reminded her of the time when she
almost died, and she was praying for a merciful death, so she would never have to deal with Noah
anymore. For better or worse, she survived and Noah was back to continue to haunt her.
Noah felt something was wrong and quickly released her. She was weeping silently. His heart ached for

“It’s all my fault, Madeline! Please don’t cry,” he tried his best to comfort her, “Allow me some time to
prove to you my love for you, okay? If you are still unable to believe my love for you, I will let you and
your kids go freely then.
Madeline was stunned. He was never this gentle and eager to prove his love for her five years ago.
She took a deep breath, and she realized he was already trying his best.
“Are you sure?” she asked. Seeing she had stopped crying, he immediately answered, “Of course!
Please allow me one more chance to prove it to you, okay?”
“Fine, but you only have three months to do so,” said Madeline, wiping away her tears.
“Deal!” Noah felt relieved as he gently wiped away the tears from Madeline’s face. However, it seemed
she could not stop crying. He blamed himself for making her cry.
“I will make sure you stay of your free will in three months, Madeline.”
At the same time, Thomas, Colton and Dylan were trying hard to listen to the conversation between
Noah and Madeline near the elevator shaft.
The building was built with anti-eavesdropping features, so the only place they could hear anything
from upstairs was the elevator shaft. Confirming this, Thomas brought everyone here to eavesdrop, but
they could barely hear a word. He was disappointed.
Dylan was still trying hard to eavesdrop. “Thomas, what have you heard? Tell me!”
