    Chapter 326 Let’s Not Meet Each Other Again


    "Let''s see. Mommy likes a man with a handsome face, a muscr figure, and unblemished skin. He


    must also look good in any outfit or in the nude. Lastly, he can keep a low profile without losing


    elegance and sophistication," Mackenzie said while counting with her fingers.


    Noah lowered his head and looked at his body. "I… I''m sure I''m like that, right?"


    "You''re good-looking, yes, but you''re already old. You have wrinkles on your face, and you have scars


    all over your body. That doesn''t look good at all." Mackenzie pretended to look innocent and sincere.


    I''m old? I''m not even 30 years old!


    "No, Zeke. Look carefully. I don''t have any wrinkles on my face." Noah looked at himself in a hand


    mirror. He did not have the smallest wrinkle at all!


    "But Oscar is a few years younger than you! He has a baby face too. You… You have eye bags, and


    you haven''t shaved for days. Mommy hates haggard-looking men the most." Mackenzie hoped that her


    father would take the hint and go to sleep.


    Be a good boy, Daddy. Give it a rest for now. It''s not like you can''t live without Mommy!


    Thanks to Mackenzie''s reminder, Noah realized he looked haggard. He had not been resting because


    he had been busy withpany matters as well as Madeline''s condition.


    No wonder Madeline did not seem impressed thest time they met.


    "Daddy, you have to make yourself handsome again so Mommy will fall in love with you." Mackenzie


    grinned while waving a safety razor in her hand.


    Noah had always believed that he was a capable man. Looks were not important to him.


    After hearing what Mackenzie and Dn had to say, he realized he had a crisis at hand.


    Well, this is all for her. It''ll be worth it.


    "Daddy, why don''t I be your stylist? I''m pretty good at styling!" Mackenzie said expectantly. She did not


    expect her father to waver so quickly.


    I''m so bored staying at home all day! At least I can have some fun now!


    Noah noticed his daughter''s cunning smirk. He did not mind it as long as she was happy.


    Half an hourter, a fresh-faced young man appeared in the living room of the Quincy residence. The


    butler and servants were amused to see Noah''s new appearance, but they dared notugh out loud.


    "What do you think? Handsome, right?" Mackenzie said confidently.


    The butler winked at the servants, and the servants nodded hastily. "Yes, Mr. Noah is so handsome!


    You''re an amazing stylist, Ms. Mackenzie!"


    "Mr. Noah looks so gentle and approachable now."


    Noah did not have a mirror nearby, so he did not know what he looked like. However, he did not mind


    because his daughter was very happy.


    "Daddy, sit down over there, gently rest your forehead on your hand, and tilt your head 45 degrees and


    look at the ceiling." Seeing that everyone agreed with Mackenzie''s handiwork, she asked Noah to strike


    a pose.


    Noah''s gaze on his daughter was unbelievably gentle.


    Mackenzie pouted. "Don''t smile! You have to look mncholic. The theme of the first set of the photos


    is ''The Mncholic Prince.''"


    The servants were dumbfounded. You call that smiling? He still looks as stern as ever!


    "I''m telling you to act mncholic, not act cool! You know what the word means, right?" Mackenzie was


    still unsatisfied, so she struck the pose herself as a demonstration.


    Mackenzie was a good actress, and Noah immediately knew what she was looking for.


    However, Noah was used to having a cold and harsh expression on his face. No matter how Mackenzie


    changed his pose, he could not give her what she wanted.


    Mackenzie sighed and said slowly, "Daddy, what if Mommy really fell in love with another man? What


    would you do?"


    Noah frowned, and his demeanor instantly became cold once more. "That''s impossible."

    "I''ve always hoped Mommy can find a man who will genuinely love her. Back in Uranica, Mommy had


    to undergo tough physical training every day, and she woulde home with injuries on her body.


    Whenever Thomas and I touched her, she would gasp in pain. I thought she might be happier if a man


    who loves her can take care of her."


    Tears welled up in Mackenzie''s eyes as she spoke.


    Noah turned his head to look at her. At that instant, Mackenzie pressed the shutter button.


    For the first time, she managed to sessfully capture Noah''s heartache and mncholy.


    "When Mommy sees this, she''ll feel sorry for you," Mackenzie said confidently while sending the photo


    to Madeline.


    Noah did not look at how the photo turned out. He patted Mackenzie''s head, feeling sorry for what they


    had to go through.


    "Hey, don''t mess up my hair! We''re not done with the shoot yet."


    Mackenzie''s sadness from earlier was nowhere to be seen. She happily guided Noah to strike a few


    more poses.


    Most of the photos were her selfies with Noah in different poses in the background.


    At the hospital, Madeline looked through the window at Oscar lying on the bed. She was very grateful


    for what he did.


    They had not known each other for too long, and Madeline had once suspected that the Sce


    brothers had ulterior motives for approaching her.


    But what motives could Oscar have that made him risk his life willingly to save her?


    "Madeline! Haven''t you made my brother suffer enough? Why are you here?" Annalise stood in front of


    the door and blocked Madeline''s path into the room.


    Madeline felt tired even before talking to her. "I''m here to pay my regards to my savior. Annalise, if I


    were you, I wouldn''t cause a ruckus here. I''d take the opportunity to ckmail me and order me to


    clear your name using the authority of the chairperson of the Global Phnthropy Committee."


    Annalise was taken aback. Rowan had told her before that her reputation had been suffering ever since


    she came to Imperia. Her uncles are jealous of her because she was her grandfather''s favorite, and


    they had been trying to dig up some dirt from her.


    If they found out she was the reason why the Sce and the Law families nearly cut ties, they would


    send her abroad to a faraway country.


    "Do you really mean it?" Annalise asked eagerly.


    "If you can promise to always stay at least ten feet from me, I can consider it." Madeline was frustrated


    about why Annalise always pestered her.


    She did not have time to quibble with the immature girl.


    "Madeline! Is that how you should talk to the person who saved your life?" Annalise instantly lost her


    temper. She pointed at Madeline''s nose, but when she remembered how Madeline had nearly broken


    her finger, she quickly pulled her hand away.


    "Oscar is the one who saved my life, not you. Please get the facts right, Ms. Sce." Madeline shoved


    Annalise aside and entered the ward.


    Annalise wanted to stand in her way, but she was not strong enough to hold her ground.


    She stumbled a few steps backward, and her shoulder hurt because of Madeline''s grip. She wanted to


    cure out loud but dared not to.


    Just when she was about to open her mouth, Madeline gripped harder as though she was going to


    shatter Annalise''s shoulder.


    "Let… Let go of me!"
