Chapter 267
"Of course, you can pick Zeke up if she is willing to go with you." Rowan looked at Mackenzie, who
fixed her gaze on him; he squatted down and turned on the speaker.
"She's my daughter; of course she's willing to follow me home." Noah snorted.
Then, Noah heard a familiar sound over the phone.
"I don't want to go back. I want to stay with Uncle Rowan. Don't come here."
Noah was hurt by her words, "Zeke, I was wrong yesterday; I should not scold you. You're my daughter,
it's inconvenient for you to stay at someone else's house."
"Has Mommy agreed to remarry you? If Mommy doesn't agree, then you are not my Daddy. I don't
want to go home with you. If you come to me, I will run away to other places."
Rowan took the phone, and he heard Noah was still coaxing Mackenzie.
He interrupted Noah by saying, "Mr. Quincy, you heard it too. Zeke doesn't want to go back with you.
Why not let her stay with me for a few days?"
"Impossible." Noah knew that Rowan treated Madeline differently. I won't entrust my daughter to you!
Madeline called him when he was reaching the Sunshine Villa.
"Zeke's with Rowan?"
"I'm on my way to pick her up, don't you worry." Rowan, how dare you talk bad about me to my wife?
"We can let her stay over for a few days. I've sorted things out with Rowan." Madeline received a call
from Mackenzie, saying that she wanted to stay at Rowan's house for a few days.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOriginally, she disagreed. But Mackenzie threatened to tell her godfather to bring them all back to
Uranica.
Mackenzie's godfather was a stubborn and aggressive man; she did not want to involve him.
So, she agreed and called Rowan to thank him. She also asked him to take care of Mackenzie.
Because of her indescribable trust in Rowan and because Mackenzie was smart and sharp, she was
not worried about leaving her there.
But Noah was totally not fond of Rowan. He would rather be killed than let Rowan take care of his
daughter.
"I disagree; I won't let my daughter stay at a stranger's house."
"Noah, it's impossible to change Zeke's mind."
"I'm her dad; she has to listen to me."
"I think you should not mess with her." Madeline hesitated. The consequences of enraging Princess
Zeke would be bad.
"Rowan's a good guy; I believe he will take good care of Zeke."
"You've only known him for a few days, and you trust him?" Noah was getting more and more upset.
Madeline did not want to argue with Noah, so she tried to persuade him once more before hanging up
on him.
Noah arrived at the Sunshine Villa. Annalise was overjoyed when she found out he was there.
She asked cheerfully, "Noah, are you here for me?"
"No, I'm here to pick up my daughter." Noah did not even look at her.
Annalise followed him; she sensed something bad was about to happen.
"Your daughter? Since when did you have a daughter?"
Could it be Madeline's child again?
"Zeke, I'm here to pick you up." He completely ignored Annalise.
Rowan carried Mackenzie and appeared in the corridor on the second floor. Noah was aching at the
sight of it.
He dashed upstairs, and he tried to pick Mackenzie out of Rowan's arms.
But she twisted around and grabbed onto Rowan tightly. She resisted Noah's touch.
"Zeke, let’s go home with me. You can punish me however you like when we're back home, okay?"
"I don't want to, I want to stay here, I like Uncle Rowan." Mackenzie liked being with Rowan after
getting to know him better.
"Zeke, I'm your Daddy." He was very hurt. What should I do when my daughter likes my rival?
"My godfather said that if Mommy and I are not happy here, he will come and bring us home." It
seemed like she meant it.
This was the second time Noah heard about Zeke's godfather. He felt heartbroken knowing there was
another man accompanying Madeline in the past five years. But he could not show his sadness.
"Madeline is so good at finding men everywhere she goes." Annalise said sarcastically.
Noah glared at her coldly; she bit her lip and lowered her head.
"Auntie, are you short on men? Is this why you talk bad about my mom?" Mackenzie immediately
defended Madeline.
Annalise could not hold her temper. "Short of men? You're the one who is short of men!"
"Annalise Solace!" Noah and Rowan scolded her at the same time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't let me hear you insulting my daughter again!" Noah gave her a murderous look.
Rowan also felt that Annalise should not say such things to a five-year-old girl. He spoke sternly,
"Anna, apologise to Zeke now. "She's five years old; how could you say that to her?"
"She said it to me first!" Annalise had been pampered since she was young, but ever since she arrived
in Imperia, everyone kept going against her. I refuse to apologise to this brat!
"If you hadn't spoken ill of Madeline first, she wouldn't say that to you."
"Ro, you've only known this girl for a few days; why are you on her side? Could she be the illegitimate
daughter of you and Madeline?" Annalise accidentally blurted out her thoughts.
Everyone was too stunned to speak for a moment.
A fresh swell of rage rose in Noah.
"Mr. Quincy, it's all a misunderstanding." Rowan dragged Annalise behind him because Noah seemed
like he might actually murder her.
"Imperia is bad! Everyone dislikes me! I want my godfather! I want to go back to Uranica! Mackenzie
burst into tears suddenly.
Both Noah and Rowan were startled and panicked; they did not go on with the confrontation but tried to
comfort her.
"Zeke, it's my fault. I'll bring you home now; no one can bully you again."
Noah tried to hold her.
Mackenzie struggled by kicking her legs and throwing her arms. Annalise was being beaten and kicked
by her, but no one cared.
"Little bastard, how dare you hit Ms. Solace!" Liam was used to bullying people, so he reprimanded
Mackenzie out of reflex.
Everyone turned to glared at Liam upon hearing his words.
Especially Noah and Rowan, they glowered and stared at him deadly.
