Chapter 487 Why Is Mr. Quincy Not Here?
"Mommy! I'm here!"
"Mommy! We're here!"
As the sound of cheerful children filled the air, Madeline felt a headache. Madeline looked at Elise, and Elise shrugged, "The children are on a summer vacation. What can I do?"
Seeing the children being dressed up like sunflowers because of Elise, Madeline had to repeatedly reaffirm herself that they were her own flesh and blood.
"It's time for check-in. We have to board the plane soon." Elise was afraid that Madeline would lose her temper, and Elise quickly got the children to have their tickets checked. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Thomas turned around, and Thomas smiled at his angry mother.
"Mackenzie, aren't you supposed to be filming soon?" Madeline remembered Mackenzie had a scene to shoot with Noah tomorrow, so Madeline had to call the director to postpone the shoot.
For those minor characters, postponing the shoot was not a big deal, but Mackenzie was the main protagonist.
"Mommy, don't worry. The director said Yashal has great scenery. We will shoot the rest of the scenes there." Mackenzie smirked.
Madeline did not have a choice, and Madeline pushed the children's luggage to the check-in place. Madeline apologized to Mia while they were walking, "I'm sorry. The children might be a bit noisy."
"It's fine." Mia did not seem to have much energy, so it was pretty unexpected for Mia to reply to Madeline already.
Madeline could not tell what was going on in Mia's mind, so Madeline decided to have the children stay at Mia's house as long as possible after arriving at Yashal.
Four hours later, Madeline's group arrived at Yashal. As soon as Madeline got off the plane, Madeline received a phone call.
"Have you made up your mind?" Hearing the voice from the other end of the phone call, Madeline raised her eyebrows.
"Lady, since you miss me so much, I'll agree to it."
"Lone Wolf, you have to pick a side this time. Consider this advice as my way of repaying your favor."
As soon as Madeline finished her words, Madeline felt a gush of wind rushing past her ear. Madeline instinctively dodged, and Madeline skillfully wrapped her wrist around the gold threads in front of her.
"Quite the skill you have there." Lone Wolf retrieved his gold threads, and Lone Wolf greeted Madeline by pointing his index finger to his forehead.
Seeing Lone Wolf dressed in a high school student's casual outfit with a buzz cut, Madeline smiled sarcastically, "What's this? Are you trying to live a new life?"
'Yes, please take me in. I have spent all my savings to free myself." Lone Wolf grinned as he walked backward to face Madeline while chatting.
"Oh no." Lone Wolf was enchanted by the smiling Madeline. The next moment, Lone Wolf could not feel his step. Lone Wolf staggered backward, and Lone Wolf fell into the sewer through the manhole.
Supposedly, Lone Wolf could jump out of the sewer easily by supporting himself with the edge of the manhole. However, the moment Lone Wolf fell, a bird flew over, and the bird dropped a poop right onto Lone Wolf's face.
Then, Lone Wolf fell with a splash.
"Hahaha, who is this person? Did he watch too many dramas? Trying to act cool by walking backward, but he fell into the sewer in the end!" Elise laughed at the Lone Wolf inside the sewer as Elise pointed there.
Colton looked at the manhole expressionlessly. Seeing that Lone Wolf was still fine from the fall, Colton looked at Madeline worriedly.
Madeline rubbed Colton's hair, and Madeline pinched Colton's cheeks with a doting smile.
Lone Wolf wrapped his gold threads around the tree branches on the roadside, and Lone Wolf managed to climb out. As soon as Lone Wolf climbed out, Lone Wolf witnessed the scene, and Lone Wolf became so angry that he pounced on Colton.
"Stupid brat, let me teach you a lesson for your parents!"
Madeline wanted to intercept the attack for Colton, but Madeline felt a soft pinch on her palm. Then, the children reacted. One shot out silver threads similar to Lone Wolf's gold threads to entangle them. Another person released bees that buzzed around, and the bees stung Lone Wolf all over. The last person filmed the whole ordeal, and he quickly published it on the Internet.
Lone Wolf pointed at Colton, who was recording, "Stop recording. Don't you dare to put it on the Internet? My reputation is at stake!"
"My username is Colton. You can follow me to watch the video." Colton showed his phone screen to Lone Wolf.
Lone Wolf saw the embarrassed look in the video, and Lone Wolf immediately covered his face. Then, Lone Wolf complained as he leaned on Madeline's shoulder, "Lady, can you do something about them? How can they bully their elders like this?"
Suddenly, Lone Wolf felt like he was struck by electricity, sending him away for a distance. Lone Wolf's short hair stood on end. There was white smoke emitted from it.
Colton walked over, and Colton looked at Lone Wolf from above, "Stay away from my mom."
Lone Wolf shivered on the floor, and Lone Wolf looked at Madelin with a pitiful gaze, seemingly complaining, "What kind of kids are you raising?"
Madeline responded with a glance, "My kids are fine. Don't cause any trouble."
Lone Wolf fought with the three children in their journey, making the atmosphere lively. Madeline asked Mia if they could stay at Mia's house first, but Mia did not respond, so Madeline took it as a yes.
However, Mia's home was a bit far from the city center. The bus ride took more than two hours. It would have been quite boring if it weren't for the three children and Lone Wolf messing around.
While Lone Wolf was using the bathroom at the rest area, Elise asked Madeline, "Why is he with us? Why are you keeping him around?"
"Those incidents related to Bruno are because of Lone Wolf. The boss behind Lone Wolf is the old man we met in the apartment, or perhaps the people behind the old man."
Previously, Madeline always thought that Lone Wolf's boss was Trenton. After Mia's incident, Madeline only found out that Lone Wolf's boss was also Trenton's boss.
"Then, is he an enemy? Why do you bring him along?" Elise covered her mouth in trepidation.
Madeline smiled, "When I was looking for Rowan, Lone Wolf leaked the information. Later on, Lone Wolf told me many things, so Lone Wolf is on our side now."
"However, even if Lone Wolf is on your side now, Lone Wolf may sell you out one day!" Elise was weary of Lone Wolf.
"When Lone Wolf's younger brother was on a mission, the younger brother was abandoned like a chess piece, almost losing his life. Later on, Noah saved Lone Wolf's younger brother. However, the younger brother became paralyzed from the neck down, so Lone Wolf held a grudge."
"I'm still weary of him…"
"I know my limits. Between Lone Wolf and me, it's a transaction, and it does not rely on trust." Madeline would not easily trust others except the people close to her.
Moreover, Lone Wolf was not transparent with Madeline, mixing the story with lies. Madeline would not trust Lone Wolf.
Elise felt more assured after hearing Madeline's words. Then, Elise asked curiously, "What happened between you and Mr. Quincy? Why is Mr. Quincy not here with you?"
