Chapter 440 Mommy Has Many Suitors
"I assume you wouldn't just casually tell people what your schedule is?"
Madeline pretended not to hear the resentment in Noah's tone.
Noah insisted on expressing his true feelings, "Well, but you're not just anyone, you're my wife."
Madeline snorted icily, "Soon to be ex-wife."
"Are you jealous? You shouldn't be jealous of her with someone of your intelligence. Even so, I'm still overjoyed that I made you jealous."
"Mr. Quincy, you are overthinking. Five years ago, I stopped acting like a child and stopped getting jealous."
Madeline hurled those hurtful words at Noah, hoping he would end the call quickly.
How could Noah let the chance to speak with her pass so easily? After all, she's been acting incredibly coldly toward him lately. He was in luck if she answered one of his calls out of the ten times he called.
Dylan's comment that his wife would leave him would probably come true if this kept up.
"You can still feel jealous right now. For elderly couples like us, feeling jealous of one another has a certain appeal."
"Who is that elderly couple you have? Mr. Quincy, please watch your tongue!" Madeline rolled her eyes helplessly.
Noah chuckled softly. His deep and rich voice was as graceful as a cello. His voice was so seductive that Madeline could feel his presence over the phone. Madeline's cheeks blushed uncontrollably.
"I made a mistake. We're actually a young couple. My wife is forever eighteen in my heart."
"Mr. Quincy, have you been experiencing a personality disorder lately?"
He yelled angrily at me for derailing his plans during our last phone call. Even more, he texted Mackenzie to say that he was planning to replace me with someone else. During this call, this guy started acting suddenly clingy and sweet toward me. What else could it be if it's not a personality disorder?
"Really? That means that I must be losing my mind because each of my personalities misses you so much."
"Mr. Quincy, reserve these words for impressionable young girls. Hearing them makes me laugh, which is disgusting for someone with my experience."
Madeline hung up the phone after tiring of hearing his nonsense.
Noah stared at the phone screen, which had darkened. Gradually, his expression became gloomier.
Madeline and Noah used to argue, but every time, as long as he used his charm and shamelessly showered her with romantic words, she would be drawn into a passionate mood that made her cheeks flush and her heart race. Their relationship would naturally develop if she could get into that mood.
Madeline's resistance was a little more blatant and intense today.
It would be impossible for her to claim that she found me disgusting if it were just because of online rumors or their previous argument. So, something else that I’m not aware of must have happened.
"Godmother has made us some dessert, would you like to have some?" Sadie questioned Noah.
She walked into Noah's room in her nightdress and stood in front of him.
Noah's attention shifted from her face to her apparel. Previously, he had never given her attire any thought, but today he noticed that the nightdress she was donning was a bit too seductive. It may even qualify as sexy lingerie.
When a young girl dressed like this entered his bedroom at half past twelve in the night, it was bound to cause misunderstandings.
Noah said coldly, ignoring Sadie's shy expression, "In the future, please knock before entering my room." NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Sadie's complexion turned pale, and tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "I'm sorry. I knocked, but you didn't hear me."
Noah reprimanded, "You don't have the right to enter my room without my consent just because I didn't hear you knock! Do you think it's appropriate to dress like this and enter a married man's room in the middle of the night?"
Noah stared at Sadie with disgust, as if he were looking at trash, and he considered that this might be the reason Madeline ignored him and refused to speak with him.
"I'm sorry, I…" Sadie covered her face and ran away in tears.
Karen stood at the door. With a reproachful look on her face, she said, "Sadie's just a naive little girl. Why do you have to be so mean to her?"
A twenty-something little girl? More like a giant baby!
Noah's stern gaze softened when he saw Karen's haggard face. His throat became choked up with the words he was about to lash out at Karen.
"You should comfort her. Sadie didn't mean to upset you. I’m the one who told her to make herself at home and treat you like her own brother."
Karen stood at the door and spoke earnestly with Noah.
Noah frowned, but he did not back down. He said, "In the future, there’s no need to clean my room. I don’t need other people to organize my personal belongings. Tell her to stay out of my room going forward."
"Noah, you…"
"You’re aware of how much Grandpa spoils me. Since I was a young child, I've had a haughty and domineering personality. I don't like when people tell me what to do."
Karen was frightened by Noah's icy demeanor, but she was forced to leave his room out of consideration for her long-term plan.
As soon as she was gone, Noah locked his door and then messaged Mackenzie.
"Baby girl, did you miss me?"
…
Mackenzie was reclining in her bed and reading the script. She heard her phone ring, but she did not answer it. However, the more she ignored it, the more persistently it seemed to ring. She finally unlocked the screen out of frustration.
Then she saw Noah bombarding her with a series of messages.
"Baby Zeke, why won't you reply to my messages?"
"Princess Zeke, could you tell me why Mommy is upset with me?
…
"Didn't you say you don't need my help anymore?" Mackenzie retorted after becoming enraged at the mere thought of it.
"You're Daddy's strategist. Daddy can't live without you."
Noah realized something was wrong. He had never said such things to Mackenzie, and he would never say such things to her. The only explanation was that someone had tampered with his phone.
"Why do you still care what my mother does? Didn't you intend to replace her?"
Mackenzie sent a series of angry emojis.
Noah's heart thumped ferociously, and he wrote, "Did your mommy see that message?"
"Yeah, she saw everything. You're in big trouble this time. I won't help you!"
Mackenzie sent another series of bomb emojis. After that, she added another message, "Thomas and Colt won't help you either! All of us are supporting Mommy this time! You better stay abroad and don't come back!"
"Baby Zeke, listen to me. I never said those things. Someone took my phone and sent it to you. You have to trust me."
"You won't have my trust. You are no longer credible! It's not like you’re my mother's only suitor. Many people want to date her now!"
This time, Noah made a video call instead of responding to the message.
"Many people want to date your Mommy? Who are they?" Noah asked as he gritted his teeth.
He felt as if his hard-won treasure was coveted by others before he even had a chance to cherish and protect it.
"Either of the Uncles Rowan is sufficient to crush you. Anyway, since you're going to marry someone else, it’s nice for us to have an extra mommy and daddy."
"Why do you need an extra mommy and daddy? What kind of nonsense is this? Mackenzie, let me tell you this, you only have one dad and one mom, forever and always!"
"Why are you shouting at me? Go ahead and scream at Mommy if you have the nerve to do so!"
Mackenzie made a face at the camera before she hung up the video call.
