Chapter 401


    Chapter 401 Are We Taking the Yacht Tomorrow


    Both of themy on the mat side by side. Noah began, "This is nothing to me. There are still many


    things I could do to please thedy and win her heart."


    Madeline saw him inching toward her slowly, and she swatted his hand which was trying to reach for


    hers. "Don''t forget what you said about us being friends for now. Why are you getting touchy again?"


    "My bad. I just couldn''t help myself when I''m around you," Noah replied as he moved back to his spot.


    Madeline kept a wary gaze on him for the next few minutes. Her body gradually rxed when she saw


    that Noah did not try to make a move on her again. She looked up at the clear, blue sky and admired


    the view. "It''s so peaceful here. If only days like this could go on forever."


    "If you like it here, we can stay for as long as you want." Noah directed his gaze at Madeline. His dark


    eyes twinkled merrily at her.


    "What about the Quinton Corporation?" Madeline turned to lie on her side. Then, she propped herself


    up on one elbow and looked at Noah.


    Noah did the same and got into a simr position as Madeline, facing her. "I don''t need anything else if


    I can have you by my side."


    They stared at each other for quite some time. Then, Madeline responded, "That might be true for you,


    but not for me. I''ll miss the fun of the outside world a lot."


    "Then, we''ll leave this ce once we''ve had enough fun here." Noah was ready to fulfill any of


    Madeline''s wishes.


    Madeline just smiled softly without saying anything. Then, shey down on the mat again and closed


    her eyes. She silently enjoyed the warm breeze and the smell of fresh blooms around her.


    Noah was still lying on his side as he continued to gaze at Madeline''s face, almost unblinkingly. He was


    positively beaming with satisfaction the entire time.


    A short whileter, the pair could hear Thomas''s voiceing from a distance.


    "Mommy! Mommy! Let''s go surfing!"


    Thomas had already changed into his swimsuit. He came running toward his parents with a kid''s


    surfboard in his arms. Then, he squeezed in between the adults andy on the mat the next instant.


    His eyes burned with excitement as he blinked at his parents.


    "I''ll go and change into my swimsuit first. You, Colt, and Zeke must wait on the beach. You''re not


    allowed to go into the water on your own, alright?" Madeline sat up and instructed him in a stern voice.


    As soon as she finished saying that, Thomas had gotten up and dashed off in the direction of the


    beach. "I know! I know! You should hurry up and meet us there, Mommy!"


    After that, Madeline and Noah headed toward the vi and changed into their swimming attire.


    Upon seeing Madeline in her bikini, Noah thought that he might get a heart attack at any minute then.


    I''m so d I''ve instructed all the servants to stay inside the house earlier. I''m gonna make sure no


    other men catch sight of the ravishing beauty before me ever.


    The two of them met up with their kids on the beach. Thomas and Mackenzie had learned how to surf


    from Xander in the past. Still, both of them had not gone surfing for quite some time, so Madeline had


    Noah watch over them while they were in the water.


    Then, Madeline brought Colton, who was a beginner at surfing, to the shallow area to teach him how to


    surf.


    Colton had been to the seaside with Noah previously. However, since he had a quiet and reserved


    personality, he would often choose to stay on the beach and build sandcastles. He wouldn''t even


    mingle with others.


    Last night, Thomas had been going on and on about how fun surfing was and it even got Colton


    intrigued. So, he decided to learn how to surf that day.


    "Mommy, are we going out to the sea tomorrow on the yacht?" Colton asked while trying to bnce


    himself on the surfboard.


    Madeline nodded. "Your dad has said that we''ll take the yacht and go fishing tomorrow. I''ll cook


    something nice for us if we can get some fish tomorrow."


    Colton had a brief pause upon hearing that.


    Um… Mommy is going to cook something nice for us… I should remind Daddy to bring a chef with us


    tomorrow.


    Colton was a fast learner. He learned how to surf fairly quickly. On the other hand, Thomas and


    Mackenzie were enjoying the thrill of surfing to the fullest as well. Although Noah was mostly stuck by


    Mackenzie''s side, Thomas had no problem surfing and having fun on his own.


    "What are you looking at, Colt?" Madeline spotted Colton staring at Thomas and the others when she


    was demonstrating a move to him.


    Colton just shook his head slightly without saying anything.


    Madeline held his hand and led him toward the trio. "You''ve learned pretty much everything. Let''s go


    y with the others. We''ll have Daddy teach you how to surf too."


    Colton''s eyes lit up almost instantaneously.


    Madeline had always been more attentive toward Colton, who was a sensitive child inside despite him


    trying to appear calm and mature on the outside. She would always study the expressions on his face


    during their interactions.


    "Mr. Quincy, can you show Colt how to surf for a bit? He still feels a bit nervous since he''s quite new to


    this."

    Noah was carrying Mackenzie in his arms. He looked at Colton and said expressionlessly, "You''re a


    boy. Try doing it on your own."


    The light in Colton''s eyes went dark. He grabbed his surfboard and was about to head toward the


    deeper area alone.


    Madeline caught him by the wrist. Then, she turned to look at Noah. "What is it with you? Colt is new to


    this. Would it hurt for you to guide him for a while?"


    "You shouldn''t treat him like a baby all the time. Even Mackenzie is braver than him most of the time."


    Noah seemed displeased as he stared at Colton, who had lowered his gaze.


    Colton squirmed free from Madeline''s grip. Then, he tried to get on the surfboard and ride the wave on


    his own. However, he kept falling from the board every time a wave hit him. He tried several times


    again but to no avail.


    Thomas moved toward Colton to support him a short whileter. "Colt, slow down! You don''t have to


    rush."


    Colton pushed him aside forcefully. "It''s none of your business!"


    His voice was so loud that even Noah, who had left to give Mackenzie some drinking water, could hear


    it.


    "What''s the matter with you? Go back to your room now if you''re going to behave like this!"


    Noah had been getting more and more annoyed with Colton''s recent behaviors. However, he did not


    say anything about it since Madeline was showing a lot of concern for the child.


    Colton raised his head and stared at Noah in indignation. He stubbornly refused to say a word.


    Thomas quickly tried to help his brother. "It was my fault! I was making fun of Colt just now."


    "Don''t pretend like you''re trying to help!" Colton red at Thomas furiously.


    Noah waspletely infuriated by Colton''s response. He picked the child up and threw him over his


    shoulder. Then, he turned around and headed toward the vi.


    Madeline had just returned from a toilet break. She came back to the beach to find Noah fuming as he


    made his way to the shore. Then, she spotted Colton who was dangling on the man''s shoulder.


    "What are you doing? Put the child down."


    "Look after the other kids. I must give him a good beating today," Noah said bitingly.


    Madeline took Colton from Noah''s arms despite his words. "Can''t you just talk to the child calmly and


    make him understand what he''s done wrong?"


    "Daddy, you should punish both of us together then! We''re brothers, after all!" Thomas had finally


    caught up with them. He grabbed Colton''s hand and held it tightly.


    Mackenzie hurried over and said, "Daddy, Thomas isn''t even mad after Colton''s shouted at him? Why


    are you getting angry at Colton? Why are you trying to punish him?"


    "Alright. Your dad must have gotten too tired because of the heat. Don''t mind him. We''ll y on our


    own." Madeline sent Noah a cold re to stop him from making another remark.


    After that, she led the kids away to y on the beach. Soon afterward, the kids were allughing and


    ying together. Even Colton and Thomas seemed to have gotten over their fight earlier.


    In the distance, Noah watched as the four of them ran around the sandy beach. He had a pensive look


    in his eyes as his gaze fell on the yacht docked at the nearby port.
