Chapter 391 Everyone Was Fine When Madeline Was Away

"You're wrong to think this way. He has his reasons for not seeing you, but you have to remember that no one in this world can treat you better than him. He had asked me to come to see you hurriedly this time." © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Ciara said it without hesitation. She told Madeline about that person more than once, but Madeline always did not believe it unless Madeline saw him. That person had reasons to refuse to see Madeline, and Ciara was the intermediary. Every time she saw Madeline's grateful eyes, she felt awkward.

"Did he ask you to come to see if I'm safe? Why didn't you ask Albert?" Madeline wondered.

Ciara saw that Madeline was no longer entangled in the matter just now. She felt relaxed and explained to Madeline, "I was supposed to help you a few days ago, but my husband fell ill, so I delayed it. Fortunately, you're fine, or I can't explain it to that person."

"How is Mr. Tucker?" Madeline was startled, and the appearance of that elegant man flashed in her mind.

If something happened to him, it would be a devastating blow to Ciara.

"He has a stomach illness. That's an old problem. He is in the hospital for treatment now." Although Ciara spoke lightly, she could not conceal the worry in her eyes.

"I'll take the kids to see him," Madeline tentatively said.

She had heard Ciara say that her husband was introverted and did not like to meet people, so she did not dare to visit him on her initiative.

"That's good. My husband was still talking about your two children when he heard I came to see you." Ciara only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Hearing that, Madeline was happy and was already thinking about preparing a gift.

"I'll bring my eldest son too. He is more steady than Zeke and Thomas."

Ciara frowned when she heard that. She stopped drinking coffee and said solemnly, "I came to you today because of this matter. We disagree with you being with Noah."

"Why?" Madeline asked subconsciously. She wanted to explain that she was not with Noah. But Ciara interrupted, "Think about how you've lived in the past five years. You've suffered so much because of him! Why are you still with him?"

"There were some misunderstandings back then..." Madeline hesitated to speak.

Ciara raised her hand to interrupt her. "No matter what happened back then, Noah isn't a good match for you. We have already made arrangements for your future. You must be dissatisfied and think we use the grace of saving your life to force you to choose a lifestyle you don't like. You may also feel we're meddling. But no matter what you think, you can't be with Noah before that person returns. It's his death order and the only request he has made to you in the past five years."

"He's coming back? When?" Madeline did not know who that person was, whether his identity, age, or location. Madeline knew nothing about that person. Because no matter how she asked, Ciara would not tell her.

"Within these two years. You'll understand everything when you meet that person," Ciara said as if thinking of something, then sighed heavily.

They chatted about another topic soon, and Madeline refused Ciara's help to get rid of Trenton for her. First, she felt that she owed Ciara too much and did not want to disturb Ciara's comfortable life because of this incident. Second, she thought that she had enough ability to settle Trenton's affairs by herself.

She had never been a person who liked to rely on others.

"I know your temper. Nobody can threaten you, but you must think whether you'll trap Noah in danger." Ciara gave a warning to Madeline before leaving.

It could be said to be a persuasion or a threat.

Madeline felt angry at first. She even wanted to be with Noah even if Ciara stopped her. But thinking of Ciara's power, she fell silent. According to Ciara, that person was more powerful than her.

Madeline did not understand why that person wanted to stop her from being with Noah. Judging by Ciara's look, it was not for any deal with her marriage but for her good.

As Madeline was thinking about this matter, she was in a trance. She called Andy to pick her up. After sitting in the car for a long time, she realized Noah was driving.

Her heart beat fast, and she felt guilty for no reason.

Noah naturally did not miss Madeline's subtle expression and was about to turn the car around to find Ciara. If he had not seen Ciara by himself, he would have already had someone block Ciara's way.

"What are you doing?" Madeline saw Noah was about to turn around suddenly and hurriedly stopped him.

"What do you think? It's only been a while. What did you do just now?" Noah asked.

He parked the car on the roadside. Before Madeline made it clear, he would not leave.

"Is there any problem? It's none of your business!" Madeline blurted out her words when Noah provoked her.

As soon as she said that, she saw Noah's expression darken. His angry look was different from his happiness before.

Madeline did not like to see Noah always unhappy. She knew he had lived for about thirty years and had not smiled a few times. She could not bear to make him angry when she saw his handsome face.

It was all because he had a perfect appearance, which affected her feelings.

Noah smiled mockingly. He slightly trembled as if he did not know how to refute Madeline's words.

He suddenly left the car, stood by the roadside, and lit a cigarette.

The faint smell of tobacco wafted into her nose, which made her feel inexplicably irritable.

When Noah returned from smoking, he started the engine silently and continued to the research site. Soon, Madeline could not help but remind him, "Don't investigate the people I met today."

"Why? Are you afraid that I'll offend someone? Or are you afraid that I..." Noah took a deep breath but did not continue his words.

Hearing from the first half of his sentence, Madeline knew that Albert or Andy must have mentioned Ciara or the person behind her to Noah.

She wondered how much they had told Noah.

"Actually, everyone was fine when I was away, didn't they?" Madeline mused for a while, then said under her breath.

Noah snorted coldly. "Since you can easily give up on me by a few words from anyone, everything is meaningless."

When Madeline heard that, she felt her nose become sore. She tried her best to keep her eyes from turning red and tears from falling.
