Chapter 399 I Bought the Island for You
Madeline did not agree to Colton's request immediately at the time. Instead, she asked Dylan to
conduct an examination on her and Noah again that night.
After Dylan found out about their plans for an outing, he advised them on the necessary precautionary
measures and gave them the green light right away.
Early morning the next day, all of them including the three doctors took a helicopter to a private island
owned by Noah.
As the island came into view, Thomas started rambling excitedly in the helicopter, "Mommy! Mommy! I
want to surf! I want to surf!"
Mackenzie stared out of the window and pointed at a yacht. "I want to go on the yacht! It's been a long
time since I took one to go out to sea."
Madeline's gaze fell on Colton. Colton was not as excited as his siblings were since he had traveled to
exotic islands with Noah before. Still, he looked cheerful as he pointed toward the island. "I want to pick
fruits in the orchard. I like eating grapes."
"Orchard? What do they have at the orchard? Do they have monkeys?" Thomas rushed toward Colton
and asked.
Colton got pushed away from the window. "They have grapes, watermelons, mangoes, lychee, and
many other fruits at the orchard."
Thomas asked stubbornly, "Do they have monkeys?"
"Not only are there monkeys, but there are also many small animals living in that rainforest. I'll take all
of you, and we'll explore the rainforest together," Noah answered Thomas's question instead while
pinching his cheek.
The island was quite large in size. Other than the beaches and resort houses, they could also see a
large patch of a rainforest at one edge of the island. Noah had explored the area with his men and
deemed it safe. They had only found some rare plants and animals in it back then.

A thought occurred to Madeline at that moment.
A father's presence really means a lot to a child.
For the past five years, I've tried to let my kids mingle with other men like Xander and Grandmaster.
However, it's completely different when they are with Noah.
Noah didn't even have to do anything special, yet the kids would warm up to him naturally. They just
look up to him instinctively.
"Did I make your heart flutter?" Noah poked Madeline on her forehead gently when he caught her
staring at him in a daze. Then, he flashed her a charming smile.
Madeline had always been weak toward his good looks. She came to her senses and turned her head
away slightly.
However, Noah pushed his face closer to hers regardless. "We have a variety of fun games and
facilities on the island. Is there anything you want to try?"
"I'm not a kid anymore, you know." Madeline cast him a sidelong glance.
"It doesn't mean you can't have some fun just because you're not a kid anymore. You didn't travel all
the way here for work. What else would you do on the island other than enjoy some fun time here?"
Noah let out a hearty chuckle.
A faint smile played on Madeline's lips. "I'll try whatever the kids want to try."
"Let's go surfing in the afternoon then." Noah raised a brow. However, his gaze drifted across
Madeline's figure.
Even though she's gotten thinner because of the virus, she still has a voluptuous body.
I'm glad I have a private island of my own. I can make sure no one other than me gets to see her in her
swimsuit.
Noah was not bothered about the presence of those three male doctors at all. Dylan just heads to his
room and spends the day sleeping anyway.
"Sure!" Madeline thought Noah was suggesting surfing to her as a challenge.
Noah beamed a warm smile at Madeline as he fixed her with an intense gaze. Their children were
watching them from the side and giggling silently.
On the other hand, Dylan felt goosebumps rise all over his back.
"Say, could you tone it down a little? I think the ants are coming because of this sweetness in the air,"
Dylan grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Noah shot him a cold glare. "You can get off the helicopter here if it bothers you that much."
Dylan leaned toward the window and saw the vast ocean around them. Then, he slowly straightened
himself and made no further comments about the couple.
Soon afterward, the helicopter made a smooth landing on the island.
Thomas exited the helicopter first. Then, he pulled Colton and Mackenzie along as he dashed off
somewhere in the distance.
Noah signaled his butler, who worked there on the island, with a glance. The butler understood
immediately, and he quickly went after the kids with several other servants.
Then, Noah got out of the helicopter and extended a hand toward Madeline. He held her hand tightly
and reminded her to be careful with the steps.
Dylan could not stand the sight of those two. He tried to hold Andy's hand, but Andy just slapped his
hand away.
"What's with you being all clingy?"
"How is that being clingy? I tried to hold your hand because I was worried that you might trip and fall."
"I won't trip and fall at a height like this!"
"Fine. I tried to hold your hand because I love you, alright? Andy, just let me hold your hand for a bit.
Please!" Andy hurried off toward a villa nearby as Dylan followed closely behind him. Alexander shook
his head slightly as he treaded behind the pair.
Madeline blushed scarlet upon hearing Dylan's words. She tried to pull her hand free, but Noah had it
in a tight grip.
"The island is quite big. You might get lost if you wander aimlessly around the place."
"Why would I get lost when the villa is right over there?" Madeline retorted.

Noah replied smilingly, "In that case, let's take a stroll around the place."
"Huh?!" Madeline did not even get to reject his offer as Noah led her away in a completely different
direction.
Oh, well. I don't know when I might have another attack or when I might have to leave this island. I
might as well use the opportunity to take a good look around the island.
"I bought this island five years ago, and I was going to give it to you as your birthday present. However,
I didn't manage to tell you anything about it in the end because of my ego," Noah explained all of a
sudden while he walked beside Madeline.
Madeline felt her heart skip a beat. Still, she said, "I'm not gonna be fooled by your words so easily."
"I knew you wouldn't believe me." At that moment, both of them arrived before a huge slab of stone.
There were some words carved on the stone. Judging by the condition of the stone and the carvings,
the stone had probably been placed there for a few years.
Madeline moved closer to the stone and studied the words carefully. A date and several words could be
seen on it. "For Madeline. 19th June 2017."
"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Madeline stared at the stone for quite some time. Then, she raised
her gaze and asked.
Noah paused momentarily. Then, he recalled what happened that day. "After I got home from
purchasing the island, you were having a fight with Angie at the time. Angie came to me crying and
begging me not to punish you. When I saw the shattered ceramic pieces on the floor, I told you to
return to your room. Then, you said a lot of hurtful words to me, and you completely ignored me
afterward."
Madeline remembered what happened back then as well.
I was hoping he'd remember my birthday back then. I didn't expect him to celebrate the day with me,
but I was waiting all day for his phone call. However, I didn't receive any word from him that day.
Instead, Angie showed up at the house, claiming that she was there to celebrate my birthday for me.
Then, she proceeded to break several of Noah's favorite antique vases, and she accused me of doing
that when Noah arrived home later. She claimed that I had gotten upset and smashed those vases in a
fit of temper because Noah didn't celebrate my birthday with me.
