Chapter 116
Dn was about to copse in a heap as Madeline watched with a confused expression.
Dn''s antique te had been used for Noah''s omelet?
She thought Noah had intentionally used the porcin te—what a jerk!
How could a priceless porcin te be shattered into smithereens if he hadn''t just said, "spiked the
food," to frighten her?
"I''m truly sorry. I was careless..."
Madeline''s face flushed as she apologized. Although Noah was the main offender, she was the one
who broke the te.
She was about toe up with an excuse, but Dn burst into tears before she could say anything.
"Maddie?"
"Boohoohoo…"
Madeline felt a little guilty as she looked at Dn, who was crying uncontrobly.
Could this te be an antique and a family heirloom?
Madeline nced helplessly in Noah''s direction, the actual offender, as she thought about this.
Noah stood there, not looking bothered in the least. He looked at her, all innocent, and gave her the
most endearing smile.
Madeline became so enraged that she nearly exploded.
"Uh, don''t be sad. I''ll rece it with the exact same one. Okay?" Madeline couldn''t bear seeing a grown
man like Dn cry dismally for so long, so she consoled him like a child, speaking tenderly to him.
However, Dn didn''t stop crying and even ran up to her and hugged her.
"Maddie, you''ve returned. Boohoohoo… I''m overjoyed!" Dn wrapped his arms around Madeline and
sobbed even harder.
Madeline was stunned.
Only then did Madeline realize she had taken off her makeup and was showing her true face.
She wasn''t close to Dn, but he was the only person who had been kind to her after she married
Noah. He was always there for her and cared for her during her pregnancy.
However, aside from giving her checkups, prescribing her medications, and nning healthy meal
ns, he did not speak to her.
His temperament was cold and quiet, just like Noah''s.
Even when he had the time, he quietly listened to what she was thinking but nevermented.
As such, Madeline thought Dn was just doing his job as a doctor at the time.
She also assumed that after so many years, Dn had forgotten entirely about her.
Surprisingly, he remembered her and even regarded her as a friend.
Madeline couldn''t help but feel warm in her heart, but being hugged too tightly was extremely
ufortable. Noah had already intervened when she was about to push him away gently.
Noah''s face darkened as he saw Dn rush over to hug Madeline.
At this point, he took immediate action, grabbing his shirt and pulling him aside, saying, "It''s improper
for men and women to have physical contact with one another."
"Boohoohoo! Noah, how did I not realize you were so petty before?" Dn appeared displeased as he
purposefully taunted Noah.
"You remembered wrongly. I''ve always been this petty."
"However, how did I not realize the two of you have such a good friendship?" Noah looked at Dn, his
expression obviously darkening.
Dn wiped away his tears and smiled triumphantly when he heard Noah''s question.
"Without a doubt. Maddie used to confide in me about her feelings!"
Noah''s eyes shed with murderous intent as soon as those words were spoken.
Madeline, on the other hand, was helplessly massaging her temples.
She had no idea Dn was such a chatterbox and gossiper.
They didn''t talk much at the time, even when he gave her checkups. She suspected Noah had
poisoned him and rendered him mute before sending him her way!
"Confiding?"
"Yeah. I was Maddie''s best friend back then. She would tell me everything!"
"So many years have passed. Maddie, do you miss me?"
Death didn''t scare Dn. He moved in closer to Madeline and took her hand in his.
"Thank you. You were the only person willing to listen to me at the time." Madeline looked at Dn and
expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
Dn was the only friend she had ever had, even though she didn''t discover his true nature until five
yearster. She felt she should at least thank him for that.
"Okay, since we''re all friends, let''s put the porcin te incident behind us. Maddie, it was simply a
careless mistake on your part." Noah watched as the two old friends were reunited while feeling very
uneasy inside. He marched up, stood between them, and pried Madeline''s hand from Dn''s grasp.
"Ah? That te was from the Victorian era!" Upon realizing what had happened, Dn eximed.
"Madeline regards you as a good friend, but you fussing over a porcin te? Is that even
appropriate?"
"It''s not appropriate of me...but..." That one was from the Victorian era and was part of a collection of
porcin bowls that he still had in his kitchen!
Even if he wanted to find the exact same te, he wouldn''t be able to!
His heart was in so much pain!
However, recalling how pitiful Maddie was, he restrained himself from saying anything else.
The next instant, Dn''s mood brightened, and he chirped, "I will put this matter behind me to
celebrate Maddie finally being willing toe back as her real self."
"You mean, you''ve known who I am for a while?" Dn''s remarks were clear to Madeline.
"Uh, about that..." Dn scratched his head in embarrassment and hesitated to speak.
He stole a sideways nce at Noah while thinking of some way to escape the situation.
"Does that mean you were aware of it as well?" Madeline questioned Noah as she looked at him when
she finally realized.
"Well, Madeline Grant, you don''t think you can fool me with your parlor tricks, do you?" Noah smiled
meaningfully at Madeline, who was filled with suspicion at the time.
"Howe?" Madeline was baffled.
"What do you mean, ''howe?''"
"Why didn''t you take revenge on me if you knew my identity long ago? Wasn''t I still your enemy until
yesterday?" Suddenly unable toprehend the situation, Madeline turned to look at Noah.
What is he trying to do?
All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.
He''d known who she was for so long, but he still approached her and was even nice to her?
Noah''s heart ached as he saw the distant look in her eyes.
"Madeline, I never thought of taking revenge upon you," he finally said after a protracted silence.
"Oh? Mr. Quincy, why should I believe what you just said?" Madeline retorted dismissively.
"I know you won''t believe it right away, but give me some time, and I''ll show you that you are Noah
Quincy''s only wife." With a heartfelt expression on his face, Noah moved closer to her.
Madeline couldn''t think of anything to say. His unexpected confession caught her off guard.
"Hell, yeah! If you two get back together, the three of us will be able to hang out more often. The idea
has my support!"
"Shut up!"
"Shut up!"
