Chapter 392 Come Back Later to Plead Guilty
Madeline did not understand. She had been controlling her feelings and telling herself not to fall in love with Noah so easily.
She thought she could get away from Imperia, and it was Noah who could not let go of her. He was the one who kept entangling her. But why did she feel so uncomfortable when she heard him say harsh words?
She felt so uncomfortable that she was about to cry. She felt ashamed! Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Madeline opened the car window. When the wind blew on her, it calmed down her turbulent emotions.
"Since you don't love me, I won't force you. After leaving the children to me, I won't stop you wherever you go. I'll try my best to satisfy you." Noah's hand turned pale while holding the steering wheel tightly.
If Madeline looked at him, she would see his tense expression. His unwillingness and pain were about to burst out from his deep eyes.
"Impossible! The children are mine! I must take them away!"
"It seems that you've already decided to leave me. Did you decide it just now, or did you have this plan long ago?" Noah turned to look at her. He had calmed down and only showed endless indifference.
Madeline noticed the car's speed was getting faster and did not stop after running through a red light. She did not want to provoke Noah anymore, so she kept silent.
"You don't even want to talk to me anymore." Noah smiled mockingly.
Madeline suddenly reached out and grabbed his veined arm. She took a deep breath and said, "I didn't say I would leave you. I planned to go back to Imperia. Even if you don't want me to return, I still want to go back."
Noah glanced at her to confirm whether she was telling the truth.
Madeline pinched his arm angrily. "Drive your car well! Am I that stupid? Will I do whatever others say?"
Noah gradually slowed the car's speed, and his expression was not as scary as before.
Madeline was still angry. Everyone came to threaten her as if thinking she was easy to bully.
"You were so frightened that you didn't even see that person. I didn't want you to fight at first. If you're afraid of getting into trouble, just tell me. I must be far away from you. Why bother beating around the bush and making such a fuss?"
Noah was taken aback by Madeline's words. He got angry because she seemed to stay away from him after chatting with Ciara, and he felt anxious. But he did not expect Madeline would think he was afraid of Ciara and deliberately lost his temper and drove her away.
"Don't talk nonsense! Do I look like a man without guts? I'm not even afraid of the devil. How come I'm afraid of a woman? You have no confidence in yourself and me. That's why you guessed me like that."
Noah was embarrassed, and his voice was not as loud as before.
Madeline folded her hands on her chest, leaned back in the seat, and dozed off. No matter what Noah said, she refused to speak anymore.
Although they said those words impulsively, Noah was right. She had no confidence, so when she realized Noah did not want to entangle her and had the idea of giving up on her, she never took her
step forward.
The moment of sadness just now woke her up. As long as she was close to Noah, she could not control her feelings for him. Once he got tired of her, she might repeat the same mistakes as five years ago.
Noah also realized that what he said just now was not right, but Madeline had said that to him before, and he did not take it to heart.
They went back to the research site in a stalemate. Mackenzie came out first and hugged Noah's leg. "Daddy!"
"Zeke, is it still hurting?" Seeing Mackenzie's face covered with anti-swelling ointment, Noah felt gloomy.
Mackenzie touched his eyelids and answered, "Daddy, I don't hurt anymore."
Then, she was keenly aware that the atmosphere between Noah and Madeline was strange.
Are they fighting again? Why do Daddy and Mommy always quarrel? They are just like children.
Mackenzie sighed. She struggled off Noah, then stood between them while holding their hands. "Let's eat together! I'm hungry."
Madeline originally wanted to discuss something with Andy and Albert, but she could not bear to refuse Mackenzie, so she could only follow Mackenzie to the cafeteria.
"Daddy, Mommy, you two sit here." Mackenzie pulled Noah and Madeline into two chairs next to each other.
After Noah sat down, he picked up a mouthful of food for Madeline. "Eat it now. I heard your stomach growl just now."
Madeline was speechless. She wanted to get up and sit opposite him, but Mackenzie sat beside her and imitated Noah picking the food for her. "Mommy, eat it now."
Mackenzie looked at Madeline so dependently that Madeline could not bear to leave.
"Where's Thomas and Colt?" Madeline asked.
Mackenzie replied, "In the room. Thomas asked Colt to play his new game."
Madeline felt Thomas could not stay in front of the computer all day. Not to mention the lack of exercise, and his eyes were prone to myopia. She had to restrict his time to play computer games every day.
"In the future, I'll work for two hours a day. Thomas and Colt can only touch the computer during that time," Noah said.
Madeline also needed to work every day. She wanted to say that she took Thomas with her when she worked.
"I saw Uncle Dylan turn the next room into a computer room. He said we could go to that room to use the computer. The equipment in it is all the latest." Mackenzie winked at Noah after speaking.
Noah received a hint from Mackenzie and gave her the thumbs up under the table.
Madeline thought she had a laptop anyway, so she did not have to go to the computer room with them. But when she returned to the room, she found Thomas had disassembled her laptop.
Mackenzie told Madeline that Thomas needed a chip from her laptop.
Madeline was so angry that she rushed to Thomas' room to teach him a lesson. But after knocking on the door for a long time, she did not hear any response from inside. She felt nervous, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
Madeline forcibly opened the door and found no one inside.
She was panicked. Ignoring the dispute with Noah before, she rushed to Mackenzie's room to find Noah.
"Thomas and Colt are gone!" Madeline shouted at the door, then turned and left.
Noah's expression also changed instantly. He put down Mackenzie, who was riding on his neck, and chased after Madeline.
"Be calm! Ask Andy to check the surveillance cameras."
Madeline patted her forehead and immediately went to Andy. Just as she walked to Andy's office, she received a message.
Thomas wrote, "Dear Mommy, your sons are out for a stroll. We'll be back soon, don't worry!"
"I'll give you five minutes. Come back now!" Madeline typed these words with trembling hands.
"Colt said, we'll come back later to plead guilty! Colt told me not to play with my phone. Dear Mommy, goodbye!"
"Thomas! Come back now!"
Thomas did not read her message anymore, and Madeline was angry. Noah looked proud of Thomas but withdrew his expression after Madeline glared at him.
