Chapter 197


    "Useless trash, go away, go away!"


    Soon, Madeline heard Joseph''s yell.


    What a pity to thosedies!


    Not only did they kiss the wrong person, they were even shamed by him.


    "Okay,e on, let''s get up. I''ll bring you home." Madeline patted Wayne on the back.


    "Okay!" Wayne nodded and got up.


    Madeline could not help but feel pity for him.


    An admirable and respectable assistant who was usually well-dressed had his face filled with lipstick


    stains. His shirt was also ripped off by those bunch ofdies.


    He looks utterly miserable.


    When Madeline led Wayne out of the room, she saw thedies crying and sobbing while sitting on the


    ground.


    She could not help butment, "Gosh, Wayne, you should''ve entertained thedies. You were too


    much!"


    Joseph tried to exin himself, "Maddie, this is a misunderstanding. I did not hire them to do that."


    "No, I don''t trust you, but it''s fine. What''s done is done."


    She shrugged and looked unbothered.


    Joseph was furious as he did not know what to say to her.


    His perfect n was ruined!


    How disappointing!


    "Oh my wife, you''re here."


    Noah appeared from the staircase. He was wearing a casual ck suit and looked handsome as usual.


    He gazed at Madeline with adoration.


    He stood next to Madeline, took off the zer, and put it over her shoulders.


    "Thank you, my dear husband." Madeline touched the zer that was still warm from his body


    temperature and gave him a bright grin.


    Her grin was so delightful yet yful.


    Joseph knew it was an act but could not help but fall for her smile.


    He imagined himself stretching his arms and pulling her close in an embrace.


    "You''re wee, my love."


    "Are you done with your tricks? It is not necessary."


    "I apologize for that. It''s a must to show affection to our wives, right, brother?"


    "Brother?" Madeline was stunned.


    They both have the same surname. Madeline should have figured it out already.


    If they are brothers, why do they look so different?


    There were many questions in her head, but she did not dare to ask any.


    "Let me introduce him to you. He is my non-biological brother," Noah put his hand over her shoulder


    and looked Joseph in the face, attempting to put Joseph in an awkward situation.


    "Noah Quincy, you!"


    Noah''s words have touched his sore spot.


    "Am I wrong, brother?"

    "That''s right, we are non-biological, and I''m totally fine with that! You don''t need to call me that."


    Joseph looked daggers at Noah as he tried to control his rage.


    "Joseph, whether you believe it or not, I did see you as my elder brother back then," said Noah.


    "Pff, no one cares!"


    "You can, but if you harass my wife once again. I will let you suffer the consequences, even if you were


    my brother."


    "Haha, how? Oh I see. The child who once followed me everywhere has learned to threaten a person.


    You don''t need to challenge a rival to win a woman''s heart, foolish." Joseph snickered


    Noah seemed unbothered by his attack.


    "I will win over my wife''s heart. You will never stand a chance as long as I am present," said Noah


    confidently.


    Before Joseph could say anything, he led Madeline downstairs with his arm over her waist.


    Madeline was overwhelmed by the sudden influx of information, leaving her shocked.


    What is this jaw-dropping news?!


    She had no idea that Joseph was his brother.


    She moved her lips and tried to say something, but she saw that Noah''s face went dark and took her


    words back.


    When they were back in the car parked outside the bar, Noah sat beside her and nced at her. He


    seemed to have noticed her overflowing curiosity.


    "Ask away."


    "Haha, no questions from me. Every family has a secret, and I''m not curious at all." Madeline felt


    embarrassed for getting exposed by him.


    She could not help but to blush.


    "Thank you for your zer."


    To get rid of the awkwardness, Madeline took off the zer and offered to return it to him.


    However, Noah did not reach out his hands. Instead, he stared at her yfully with his head tilted to the


    side. It made her blush.


    "Whatever, it''s fine if you don''t want to say it but don''t look at me like that. I will feel guilty for being


    nosy…" Madeline turned her head and gave him a mischievous smile.


    Her words seemed to cheer him up as his face appeared less tense.


    He then tidied up the zer Madeline threw over and covered her long, lean legs.


    "It''s getting colder now. Please cover yourself up. Otherwise, you''re going to get arthritis when you''re


    old. Do you understand?"


    He nagged at her while tucking in the zer.


    Even though there was a heater in the car, his warm gesture made Madeline feel even warmer inside.


    "I didn''t intend to hide the matters between Joseph and me from you. When the right timees, I will


    tell you. Just know that he is dangerous, and please stay away from him."


    Noah looked at her affectionately, and his voice was so gentle and soothing.


    Madeline could not find any reason not to listen to him.


    "Fine, if that''s the case, I should not be nosy anymore," Madeline replied, but her eyes reflected her


    sentiments.


    Noah''s love and affection were something that she dreamed of five years ago.


    Now that she got what she wanted, it somehow felt unreal. Not to mention that he fell for her first.


    Deep down, there was still a bit of sorrow.


    Was Noah falling in love with her now?


    That was what she wished for five years ago.


    How about Madeline?


    She swore to herself to never love him again and it took five years to get over him…
