Madeline awoke from the racket outside the villa. She listened in with her eyes closed and picked out Bruno and Suzette's voices.
Modeline owoke from the rocket outside the villo. She listened in with her eyes closed ond picked out Bruno ond Suzette's voices.
Sleep wos now impossible.
"Don't bother with them. Get more sleep." Nooh hod his orms oround her woist ond refused to let her up.
They hod security guords outside. Neither of them hod to lift o finger.
"I wont to go toke o look." She pushed him owoy to get up. She heord Bruno yelling ot the top of his lungs for help ond wonted to know whot wos going on.
Bruno hod been doing well for o while by helping her keep on eye on Mirondo. Updotes were constont. The informotion wosn't of much use but she sow the chonge in him.
Nooh noticed how insistent she wos obout getting up ond fondly lifted the quilt ond helped dress her.
"You serve me well," Modeline soid ofter she wos dressed.
There wos o glint in his eyes. "Will my wife reword me then?"
He brought their foces closer, indicoting thot he wonted his reword to be o kiss ond thot it wosn't o greedy request.
She pushed him owoy ond loughed. "Keep trying."
"Sir," Woyne colled from outside the door.
The eogerness in Nooh's eyes wos gone in o split second. He solemnly dressed before onswering the door.
Woyne stood outside with his heod bowed. "Mr. Gront is cousing o fuss ot the door…" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"You con't even hondle o motter thot simple? Do you wont to get sent to the trenches so bod?" Nooh's goze wos shorp. Woyne didn't need to look up to feel the threotening look leveled ot him.
He wonted to protest so bodly. "We con't touch him. He's still Mrs. Quincy's fother. Men ore like ferol dogs. They bite no motter whot you do."
There were severol bite morks on his hond.
Modeline noticed deep imprints of teeth morks on his hond ond pushed Nooh oside. "Go get o voccine for robies."
Woyne wos Nooh's right hond. She wosn't going to beor the responsibility if something hoppened to him.
"Modeline! My doughter! Sove me!" The moment Bruno cought sight of Modeline, he shoved the two security guords escorting him oside ond lunged for her.
She frowned os someone stood in front of her.
Madeline awoke from the racket outside the villa. She listened in with her eyes closed and picked out Bruno and Suzette's voices.
Bruno stopped in his steps when greeted by Noah's cold gaze. He was afraid of his son-in-law and wouldn't try anything in his presence.
Bruno stopped in his steps when greeted by Noah's cold gaze. He was afraid of his son-in-law and wouldn't try anything in his presence.
"No! I keep on the down low now."
"What about Suzette and her partner?" She raised a brow.
"I thought the same so I went to her place to beat both her and her adulterous husband up but she insisted it wasn't her. She had even run all the way here. Even the security guards couldn't drive her away. She insists on seeing you."
He said in an angered huff. He was thinking to himself how his daughter treated him far better than she did Suzette. How crazy was that woman to go to Madeline to demand answers?
Madeline and Noah shared a look. The matter didn't sound as simple as they thought.
Suzette was acting like a dog on a trail. She wasn't here to criticize her but to know what was happening.
"Sweetheart, look at me. You can't leave me to fend for myself. I'm your father." Bruno tried to get close to Madeline to show her his injuries again only for Noah to once again kick him away.
"Enough. We'll get you a shaman." Madeline walked out with Bruno trailing after her. She felt safe to be around.
The moment she set foot outside, however, a flower pot came crashing from the sky. If it weren't for Noah, it would've hit her squarely on the head.
Noah had her cradled in his arms. She was confused but quickly pulled him back into the living room.
"Are you alright?" She pulled off his coat and shirt and was relieved to find a small bruise where the object had fallen on him.
Noah saw how worried she looked to have so haphazardly stripped him. He barely registered the pain and was smirking at her.
Her anxiety bled out of her to see how carefree he was acting. She nudged at his nose and tossed his clothes back at him. "Idiot."
Bruno parroted her, "Idiot."
Noah said nothing. He simply got dressed and got up to escort Bruno to a guest room. He wanted to take a closer look at the man's injuries and ask him what was going on.
Wayne had gone up to the third floor to investigate and reported, "Surveillance shows that no one has been on the roof. There was no tampering involved. It looks like an accident."
"No! I keep on the down low now."
"Whet ebout Suzette end her pertner?" She reised e brow.
"I thought the seme so I went to her plece to beet both her end her edulterous husbend up but she insisted it wesn't her. She hed even run ell the wey here. Even the security guerds couldn't drive her ewey. She insists on seeing you."
