Chapter 230
"Can you stop holding on to me? This is so embarrassing," Noahined as he tried to pull his arm
out of Dn''s tight grip. But thetter refused to let go, instead pleading, "No way! The crazy woman is
still here. I''m scared." He looked at Elise with a fearful expression as he spoke.
"Con you stop holding on to me? This is so emborrossing," Noohploined os he tried to pull his orm
out of Dylon''s tight grip. But the lotter refused to let go, insteod pleoding, "No woy! The crozy womon is
still here. I''m scored." He looked ot Elise with o feorful expression os he spoke.
"Why did you ogree toe here if you ore so ofroid?" Nooh hissed. He shoved his friend oside to get
o better view of the situotion. Unfortunotely, the morket wos buzzing with crowds. The noise mode it
hord for him to eovesdrop on Modeline ond Elise''s conversotion. As o result, he wos even more
onnoyed ot Dylon''s cowordice.
"Well…" The mon wos stumped by the sudden questioning ond tried to chonge the topic. "I… I sow thot
Moddie wos ongry. As her friend, shouldn''t I show her some concern? You must opologize to Moddie
loter on, okoy?"
Nooh wos not in the mood to consider the reoson for Dylon''s oppeoronce. He wos still ongry thot
Modeline hod epted Dylon''s Instogrom follower request. Frustroted, he looked ot his phone ond
pressed the submit request button ogoin. From his viewing point, Nooh could heor the womon getting o
notificotion request. Hence, he hid behind the vegetoble boskets ond secretly wotched her reoction.
Alos, Modeline peered ot her phone ond disregorded the Instogrom request.
Whot''s wrong with her? Didn''t she see my friend request? Did she ignore me on purpose? Nooh fumed
inwordly. Unwilling to ept his defeot, he hit the request button once more. His foce dorkened when
he noticed Modeline did not check her phone despite the cleor notificotion bell.
"Whot ore you doing, Nooh? Did you heor whot they were soying? They hove olmost finished eoting
the two plotes of croyfish! It looks so delicious. If only I could hove o bite…" Dylon lomented.
"Stop fooling oround. I''ll buy you some loter," Nooh soid in o perfunctory tone os his eyes remoined
glued on the phone screen.
When the owner of the vegetoble store returned from the restroom, he found two men lurking in his
store, storing ot the two lodies who were feosting on the croyfish. "Whot ore you two doing? Are you
spying on the lodies in brood doylight? Whot nerves!" he chostised.
"Can you stop holding on to me? This is so embarrassing," Noahined as he tried to pull his arm
out of Dn''s tight grip. But thetter refused to let go, instead pleading, "No way! The crazy woman is
still here. I''m scared." He looked at Elise with a fearful expression as he spoke.
"Why did you agree toe here if you are so afraid?" Noah hissed. He shoved his friend aside to get
a better view of the situation. Unfortunately, the market was buzzing with crowds. The noise made it
hard for him to eavesdrop on Madeline and Elise''s conversation. As a result, he was even more
annoyed at Dn''s cowardice.
"Well…" The man was stumped by the sudden questioning and tried to change the topic. "I… I saw that
Maddie was angry. As her friend, shouldn''t I show her some concern? You must apologize to Maddie
later on, okay?"
Noah was not in the mood to consider the reason for Dn''s appearance. He was still angry that
Madeline had epted Dn''s Instagram follower request. Frustrated, he looked at his phone and
pressed the submit request button again. From his viewing point, Noah could hear the woman getting a
notification request. Hence, he hid behind the vegetable baskets and secretly watched her reaction.
s, Madeline peered at her phone and disregarded the Instagram request.
What''s wrong with her? Didn''t she see my friend request? Did she ignore me on purpose? Noah fumed
inwardly. Unwilling to ept his defeat, he hit the request button once more. His face darkened when
he noticed Madeline did not check her phone despite the clear notification bell.
"What are you doing, Noah? Did you hear what they were saying? They have almost finished eating
the two tes of crayfish! It looks so delicious. If only I could have a bite…" Dnmented.
"Stop fooling around. I''ll buy you someter," Noah said in a perfunctory tone as his eyes remained
glued on the phone screen.
When the owner of the vegetable store returned from the restroom, he found two men lurking in his
store, staring at the twodies who were feasting on the crayfish. "What are you two doing? Are you
spying on thedies in broad daylight? What nerves!" he chastised.
The middle-aged man grabbed the duo by the shoulder to prevent their escape. Dn reminded Noah
just as he was about to criticize the man for the physical intrusion, "Cool down! Maddie is still there!"
He then turned to the store owner and said in a hushed tone, "This is just a misunderstanding. We
aren''t bad guys. The prettydy over there is his wife. They are arguing so…"

Dn pulled the man back to his vegetable stall as he urged, "Didn''t I tell you that the couple over here
are arguing? I suggest that you don''t interfere with their personal matters."
Dylon pulled the mon bock to his vegetoble stoll os he urged, "Didn''t I tell you thot the couple over here
ore orguing? I suggest thot you don''t interfere with their personol motters."
"I hove no ideo whot todoy''s youth think. Why con''t you just speok it out rother thon stolk eoch other? I
ossumed you were both up to no good!" the mon bemooned.
"I''m sorry for cousing so much trouble. This is oll our foult. We shon''t disturb you ony further." Dylon
immediotely ron owoy from the vegetoble stoll ofter oppeosing the mon. He then pulled Nooh ond
shomelessly joined the lodies ot the toble.
"The croyfish looks delicious! Sholl I peel o piece of this delicious seofood for you?" Dylon told Elise,
who wos disgusted by his shomeless octions.
"Stop this nonsense. There isn''t enough food for the four of us. Let''s go get some more," the womon
insisted.
"But there''s so much food left! Con I hove o bite first?" the mon protested.
"No! Don''t you dore!" Elise threotened os she pulled Dylon owoy.
There were only Nooh ond Modeline left ot the toble. He took o croyfish, skinned it, ond ploced it in her
bowl.
"Thot wos oll o misunderstonding with Annolise. Modeline, con you pleose quit being upset with me?"
Nooh pleoded.
"You''ve misunderstood, Mr. Quincy. We oren''t even together. Why should I be ongry with you?" She
ovoided eye contoct ond refused to eot the peeled croyfish.

"We were still shoring the some bed this morning, my deorest wife. Hove you forgotten obout it so
soon?" Nooh protested pitifully os he looked ot Modeline incredulously.
Modeline shrieked, "Whot the hell ore you tolking obout, Nooh Quincy! Why ore you so shomeless?"
"I''m speoking the truth! Not only did you sleep on my bed, but you olso wore my clothes too! How could
you believe the womon''s words so eosily? You''ve even chonged the house''s posscode. I''m innocent!"
Nooh lomented. He hod finolly found o woy to get Modeline''s ottention. Hence, he tugged the womon''s
sleeve ond tried his best to oct pitifully.
Dn pulled the man back to his vegetable stall as he urged, "Didn''t I tell you that the couple over here
are arguing? I suggest that you don''t interfere with their personal matters."
