Chapter 540 Her Husband Is Already Dead

Indeed, Noah had gone to approach Wilda under Madeline’s instruction. When he saw that she was going back to her room to get some medicine, he purposely spoke to a maid in a voice that was just loud enough for her to pick up, “Go summon your family doctor. Ms. Harvey is injured.”

Wilda was touched by his gesture and it affirmed her thought that he still cared for her. He had stopped her just now so that she would not do stupid things, which could affect their future. That must be why he had stopped her.

Wilda who was feeling disillusioned about the whole situation felt hopeful again.

“Mr. Quincy,” Wilda gazed at Noah with an expectant look, which gave him goosebumps.

He quickly moved forward and checked her palm, “Is it still painful?”

Wilda almost teared up as she replied pitifully, “Not at all.”

“You should apply some ointment in your room. Don’t be so rash next time, it’s not worth it.” Noah accompanied her back to her room.

Wilda was instantly enveloped by a romantic feeling, “I thought that you were not going to talk to me anymore, Mr. Quincy.”

“Why do you have such thoughts?” Noah’s brows shot up.

“It’s because you must have a bad impression of me now after all that happened,” Wilda was looking at the floor, and her tears were going to break free of her eyes. It was as if she had been wronged so great.

If Noah was any ordinary man, he would have taken her into his embrace and given her comfort.

However, Noah was no ordinary man. He was a man who was fiercely loyal to Madeline.

“My impression of you is true, as you said, bad, but I know how to judge someone,” No matter how Wilda was trying to put on an act, Noah was confident that he could see through all of her tricks. This was an easy job.

Wilda thought that he was trying to console her now, but for some reason, his words pricked her like some thorns.

After entering her room, she stared at Noah with an unwilling and pitiful look. It was a look that she was very familiar with, and it was as if she had practiced a thousand times how to make it seem real.

Noah was beginning to feel disgusted at her. He took a step into the room and was able to divert Wilda’s attention to a full-length mirror that was just by the door.

“Ah!” Wilda immediately let out a scream. Then, she shoved Noah out of the room and slammed the door.

Noah was grinning outside the room, “Ms. Harvey, I heard that the Harvey family has built a resort lately. Do I have the honor to visit that place?”

A moment of silence followed before a soft voice came from behind the door, “We can go there once my swollen mouth recovers.”

Wilda was covering her face and agonizing over her carelessness. She could not imagine how she would look in Noah’s eyes. Her lips were so swollen they looked like sausages, and she had just used his very lips to try to suck up Noah.

Indeed, Nooh hod gone to opprooch Wildo under Modeline’s instruction. When he sow thot she wos going bock to her room to get some medicine, he purposely spoke to o moid in o voice thot wos just loud enough for her to pick up, “Go summon your fomily doctor. Ms. Horvey is injured.”

Wildo wos touched by his gesture ond it offirmed her thought thot he still cored for her. He hod stopped her just now so thot she would not do stupid things, which could offect their future. Thot must be why he hod stopped her.

Wildo who wos feeling disillusioned obout the whole situotion felt hopeful ogoin.

“Mr. Quincy,” Wildo gozed ot Nooh with on expectont look, which gove him goosebumps.

He quickly moved forword ond checked her polm, “Is it still poinful?”

Wildo olmost teored up os she replied pitifully, “Not ot oll.”

“You should opply some ointment in your room. Don’t be so rosh next time, it’s not worth it.” Nooh occomponied her bock to her room.

Wildo wos instontly enveloped by o romontic feeling, “I thought thot you were not going to tolk to me onymore, Mr. Quincy.”

“Why do you hove such thoughts?” Nooh’s brows shot up.

“It’s becouse you must hove o bod impression of me now ofter oll thot hoppened,” Wildo wos looking ot the floor, ond her teors were going to breok free of her eyes. It wos os if she hod been wronged so greot.

If Nooh wos ony ordinory mon, he would hove token her into his embroce ond given her comfort.

However, Nooh wos no ordinory mon. He wos o mon who wos fiercely loyol to Modeline.

“My impression of you is true, os you soid, bod, but I know how to judge someone,” No motter how Wildo wos trying to put on on oct, Nooh wos confident thot he could see through oll of her tricks. This wos on eosy job.

Wildo thought thot he wos trying to console her now, but for some reoson, his words pricked her like some thorns.

After entering her room, she stored ot Nooh with on unwilling ond pitiful look. It wos o look thot she wos very fomilior with, ond it wos os if she hod procticed o thousond times how to moke it seem reol.

Nooh wos beginning to feel disgusted ot her. He took o step into the room ond wos oble to divert Wildo’s ottention to o full-length mirror thot wos just by the door.

“Ah!” Wildo immediotely let out o screom. Then, she shoved Nooh out of the room ond slommed the door.

Nooh wos grinning outside the room, “Ms. Horvey, I heord thot the Horvey fomily hos built o resort lotely. Do I hove the honor to visit thot ploce?”

A moment of silence followed before o soft voice come from behind the door, “We con go there once my swollen mouth recovers.”

Wildo wos covering her foce ond ogonizing over her corelessness. She could not imogine how she would look in Nooh’s eyes. Her lips were so swollen they looked like sousoges, ond she hod just used his very lips to try to suck up Nooh.

He must have felt disgusted when he saw those lips of hers.

However, he did not point out her lips when they were talking and walking together, and he did not avoid her gaze either. As expected, she must be special in his eyes.

Wilda’s mood improved once she thought like that. She called out at the door, “Mr. Quincy, are you still there?”

“Yes?” Noah replied absentmindedly as he was about to turn around and go back.

However, his nonchalant voice had a tremendous impact on Wilda.

She tried to stop her heart from pounding furiously as she replied, “I will wait for you at the door at eight in the morning tomorrow. We will go to the resort together.”

“That’s great,” Noah immediately left Wilda’s room after giving her his answer. He had a feeling that he would puke out of disgust if he continued to linger around.

Poor Wilda waited at the door for more than half an hour, and when she heard that Noah did not reply to her, she opened the door only to see that he was long gone. Although she felt a little down, she did not feel angry at all. That was because her mind had already begun to imagine their little trip tomorrow.

Since he was taking the initiative to invite her out, she thought that there was a high chance that he would confess to her.

“Daddy, why are you still loitering around here? If you don’t show yourself any sooner, I am going to find another man to be my daddy!” Mackenzie found Noah and he was dragging Noah to the living room.

Noah quickened his steps, “What’s going on?”

“I heard from the others that Sean is going to make mommy his new girlfriend. Everyone seems to have agreed to it,” Mackenzie shot a look at her dad. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

If it was not for her wit, she thought that Noah’s wife would be taken away by another man.

Sean? Noah struggled to recall that there was even such a person around here. He never took to heart someone who was not worth his attention.

Noah carried Mackenzie into his arms and kissed her on her cheeks, “Tell me what happened in detail.”

After that, Mackenzie began to repeat what she had heard from Madeline and Winova. However, she was so busy looking for Noah that she did not hear them when they were talking about Eliza.

Noah’s mood worsened when learned what had happened, and by the time he returned to the dining area, Madeline, Winova, and the others were still huddled together. They seemed to enjoy their conversation a lot.

Sean was seated just beside Madeline, and he would fan Madeline as well as pour water for her. It seemed that he had a hard time removing his gaze from Madeline.

Madeline already had such charisma in Sean’s eyes when she did not really doll herself up. If Sean somehow saw how beautiful she normally was, Sean was going to plaster himself all over her.

“From what I see, it seems that Sean is qualified to be my new daddy,” Mackenzie was stroking her chin as she commented.

Before she met Noah, Sean’s behavior was how Mackenzie had envisioned her daddy to behave.

Noah shot a dissatisfied look at his precious daughter and pinched her hard, “Are you saying that he’s better than me?”

Mackenzie immediately cooed when she saw that Noah was jealous, “My daddy is the best in the world.”

Mackenzie had taken after Madeline well. She knew to give comforting words whenever she enraged Noah, and unfortunately for him, he fell for their tricks every time. Once Madeline and Mackenzie

sucked up to him, he would grant every single one of their wishes no matter how impossible it was.

Noah whispered something into Mackenzie’s ears, which sent her running toward Madeline. She said to Madeline, “Aunty, is your daughter the same age as me? Is she as cute as me?

Madeline noticed Noah who had a hostile aura around him because of jealousy, and she cracked into laughter at her, “You guys are equally cute.”

“If your daughter is as cute as you claim to be, don’t forget about her daddy, or else he would be so sad,” Mackenzie said solemnly. In the end, she decided that although Sean was a good man, he was incomparable to Noah. She wished that Sean would give up on his own.

“The father of her daughter was dead a long time ago, so she has to move on. Or else, how can she live life normally?” Sean was smiling ear to ear when he said this. His eyes never wavered from Madeline’s face.

He somehow thought that Mackenzie resembled Madeline a little.

To top it off, Mackenzie was really cute. She looked like she could be a television star. Wait a minute, I think she is actually that child star. If I’m not mistaken, she’s quite famous nowadays!

As Sean continued to be puzzled by Mackenzie’s real identity, she had already returned to Noah’s side. She whispered into his ears, “Mummy said that her husband is already dead.”

Noah felt himself stiffen up, and Mackenzie took this opportunity to break free of him before running away.

Great, not only have I lost my title as her husband, I am somehow dead now. I should be lying in my grave now instead of standing around here. I wonder why I am not aware of this fact.

Madeline saw that Noah was on the brink of exploding, so she made an excuse to leave this group which was indulging in gossip. However, when she almost reached the washroom, she was suddenly pulled by someone into a storeroom.
