Chapter 488 Mr. Quincy, Think About The Big Picture
"After all that had happened, Noah had to stay in Imperia to sort things out." Madeline calmly replied to Elise's question.
Elise assessed Madeline up and down, and Elise shook her head, "Did you leave everything to Mr. Quincy to handle? This is not your style."
Madeline smiled secretively, and Madeline did not answer Elise's question this time.
Elise did not ask further because Elise was not concerned about this. Instead, Elise cared more about whether Madeline reconciled with Noah. That would change Elise's attitude toward Noah.
"Are you two back together? You did, right?" Elise nudged Madeline's arm with her index finger.
Madeline smiled without answering.
Elise could tell from Madeline's expression that Madeline and Noah were on good terms already. In the past, Madeline would have already reprimanded Elise for spouting nonsense.
"Are you really okay with leaving Mr. Quincy alone in Imperia? Didn't you tell me before that Mr. Quincy brought back two women?"
"That's Noah's own business. It has nothing to do with me." Sadie was not a threat all along in Madeline's eyes.
What bothered Madeline was that Sadie and Karen hurt her children. On the other hand, Noah still took care of Sadie and Karen despite knowing that.
Since Madeline chose to believe Noah, Madeline would no longer bother with Sadie and Karen.
"It still matters. Listen up. There are many seductresses out there! If you don't keep a close watch on Noah, someone will steal Noah away."
Elise felt Madeline did not have a clear image of Noah's position in the hearts of the young women in Imperia. It was one thing that Madeline did not get back with Noah previously, but now that Madeline and Noah were back together, Elise had to make Madeline realize how many eyes were staring at Noah.
Then, Elise would support Madeline in taking down the seductress like a queen, helping Madeline to climb to the peak of power!
Upon seeing Elise lost in thought, Madeline knew Elise must be imagining a royal drama's storyline. Elise had recently gotten into drama. Whenever Madeline called Elise, Elise would recommend a few dramas.
Even though Madeline's mind was wandering, Madeline could still find a rare sense of peace and joy in Elise's chatter.
Madeline would feel life was meaningless if she had to face deceit and violence every day.
"There's no point in keeping a man who can be easily stolen." Madeline raised an eyebrow as Madeline replied.
Elise gave it some thought, and Elise realized Madeline's words made sense.
"Aren't you and Mr. Quincy back together now? Since you are, you two should start dating properly. Did you tell him you were leaving him alone in Imperia?"
Madeline's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, Madeline had forgotten to tell Noah.
Madeline thought there should be some tacit understanding between her and Noah. Didn't they?
"No way, Maddie. What are you doing? You ran away without saying a word. Trust me. Mr. Quincy would turn Imperia upside down when he finds out you're gone."
Elise insisted that Madeline must call Noah to report her whereabouts.
"Elise, I don't need to do that. Even if I'm back together with Noah, I can't be jealous of those women who admire Noah every day."
Madeline still had many meaningful things to do in her life. Madeline would cherish those willing to stay by her side but wouldn't force anyone to stay if they wanted to leave.
Elise did not care about all that, and Elise's intention was to strengthen the relationship between Madeline and Noah in the first place. However, Elise became worried that Noah would get mad in Imperia, thinking that Elise had snatched Madeline away. Then, Noah might tear apart Elise's boutique.
Elise quickly grabbed Madeline's phone, and Elise dialed Noah's number immediately.
As Noah harshly interrogated the captured men working under Tristan, Noah saw an incoming call. Then, Noah immediately made a stop gesture before walking out.
"My wife, did you miss me?"
Noah's first sentence sounded corny. Madeline looked at Elise, doubting Elise was Noah getting anxious to the point of turning Imperia upside down.
"Thank you for taking care of the things in Imperia." Madeline reluctantly spoke up because of Elise's prompting.
Noah chuckled, "My wife, feel free to enjoy yourself to the fullest. Your husband can handle everything."
"Did you already know where I am?" Madeline raised an eyebrow.
"We're connected by heart, my wife."
"Do you have someone follow me?" Madeline raised her tone slightly, but Madeline was not angry.
Noah's voice immediately softened with a hint of appeasement, "Blame me if you have to. Don't blame the children."
Madeline looked at the children pretending to be asleep, and Madeline said helplessly, "Hmph, how could I blame you? The children are on your side."
"Are you jealous, my wife? Don't worry. You will always be the most important person in my heart. You can punish me any way you want as long as it can help you feel better. Do you like dripping candle wax? Or do you prefer whipping?"
"You! Keep dreaming!" Madeline's ears turned slightly red. It was not because of the suggestive words, but the horse chuckling from the other end of the line.
Elise put her ears closed to the phone to listen to the conversation, and Elise got goosebumps all over her body.
The nauseating romance filled the vehicle. Was Elise needed to be the middle person?
"Take your phone call there. Don't dirty my pure soul as a single person." Elise nudged Madeline's shoulder, gesturing for Madeline to make the call somewhere else.
Madeline gestured for Elise to watch the children, and then Madeline walked away with the phone.
"I'll meet up with you after I finish dealing with the things here."
"I should be able to finish things here soon. You don't have to be here." Madeline estimated that she could finish the things on her end in about half a month.
"Did you forget that we still have a shoot?"
"You're not the only option. They can find another actor."
"No! You can only act with me!" Noah was agitated the moment Noah thought about how Madeline acted in the scene with another man. Noah could not wait to take a flight to accompany Madeline immediately.
"Mr. Quincy, can you think about the big picture?" Madeline had somehow imagined Noah's agitated expression. There was a hint of amusement in Madeline's tone.
"Everything is under control. My wife, enjoy your time." Noah's face was filled with confidence and pride. After waiting for so long and planning for so long, Noah was determined to eliminate all the opponents.
"Lady, it's time to go." Lone Wolf suddenly appeared, and Lone Wolf alerted Madeline.
It was too late for Madeline to cover the phone. Madeline did not hear any sound from the other of the line for a while. Madeline put down her phone to look at it, and Madeline confirmed that Noah had not hung up.
"Stay safe, and come over when you're done."
After saying that, Madeline wanted to quickly hang up.
However, Noah's cold voice came through the phone, "It seems my wife is having fun." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"I'm taking him for a reason. Can you please not mess around?"
"Alright, my wife, enjoy."
The phone call ended. For some reason, a sense of unease weighed on Madeline's heart. Then, Madeline quickly dispelled the thoughts, and Madeline got back in the vehicle with Elise and the rest.
