Chapter 333: Chapter 333

Noah felt like cold water had been poured over him. He explained timidly, “My mother has indeed gone

into a marriage contract with Annalise’s mother in the past, but since I’ve decided to marry you, you

can consider that contract nullified.”

“Then what’s up with the rumors circulating on the internet?” Madeline did not blindly believe that Noah

was going to go into an engagement with Annalise, but she was curious about the intention behind

Noah’s move to publish that memo on behalf of the Quinton Corporation.

“Didn’t Annalise always try to find fault with you? If she is married soon, she would not do crappy things

to you anymore.”

“Can you really manipulate the marriage of the only daughter of the Solace family as you wish?”

Madeline chuckled.

“Don’t you believe in me?” Noah’s tone rose a little. He was obviously not happy that Madeline was

thinking so little of him.

Madeline had no comment about that. Noah continued, “You will be able to see the outcome by the end

of this month.”

“I hope that things will go your way, or else, I can’t promise that I can hold back on directing my wrath

toward Ms. Solace. By that time, you might even feel indignant for her.”

Madeline was quite busy lately, so she had no time and energy to confront Annalise who was always

pestering her like some disgusting fly. However, she had time on her hands now. If Annalise were to

offend her again, Madeline would no doubt retaliate.

“I will only fall for one woman in my whole life, and that person is you.”

Madeline felt a shiver running through her skin, “Mr. Quincy, you better cut down on such cheesy pick-

up lines.”

Noah who was reading out a line from a cheesy pick-up line book froze on the spot.

“It’s never out of fashion to be a romantic lover. How can you say that I’m being cheesy?”

“I beg you to say something normal,” She always felt like puking.

“I promise you that I will forever be your favorite person.”

Noah was reciting a line from the book, and it was indeed a very awkward and cheesy line. Madeline

would not be able to conceal her disgust even if she was now facing his dangerously handsome face,

let alone talking to him on the phone without seeing him in his eyes.

Therefore, she decided to hang up abruptly.

Noah stared at the screen of his phone which had just gone blank, and it seemed that he could not

comprehend what had just happened. He then decided to look for Mackenzie with that book of cheesy

pick-up lines in his arms.

“Baby, it seems that your mommy is not a big fan of this book.”

“Daddy, don’t tell me that you’re reading out loud from that book?” Mackenzie’s eyes widened, and she

was secretly wishing that he would dismiss her claim.

However, Noah immediately nodded, “What, are you telling me that I shouldn’t just read these lines

out?”

“Doddy, your confession would only sound reol if you’re telling it from the bottom of your heort. This

book serves os o guide, nothing more. If you’re reoding lines out of it, mommy will definitely be weirded

out by you,” Mockenzie shook her heod in disoppointment.

In foct, Nooh knew thot he should not just reod out the lines, but he olwoys hod good memories. He

wos oble to memorize most of the lines in the book olthough he hod only reod them once. In his

subsequent conversotion with Modeline, those lines would pop up in his mind without worning.

“Nevermind, doddy, you’re better off resuming your imoge os on oloof, hondsome guy,” Mockenzie

potted his shoulders os she shot o pitiful look ot him.

Soon ofter thot, the most professionol photogrophy teom orrived ot the Quincy residence.

They looked uncomfortoble ond nervous while stonding in the huge holl of the Quincy residence. When

Nooh mode his oppeoronce in his injury, to soy thot they were boffled ond terrified wos just on

understotement.

After oll, the mon in front of them hod the power to swoy ond end their coreer. One word from him could

couse them to lose their jobs ond not be oble to survive in this country.

“Doddy wonts to hove o photoshoot, ond the photos should look os noturol os possible. It should be in

o condid style,” Mockenzie octed os Nooh's spokesperson for now since Nooh wos not tolking ond

everyone seemed to be on edge ond unsure of whot to do.

“I wonder whot is the purpose of those photos, Mr. Quincy?” A photogropher broced himself ond took

the initiotive to question him. However, he wos met with Nooh’s frosty glore, ond he could only look

down quickly ond wish thot he could bury o hole ond hide in it.

Mockenzie tugged ot Nooh’s shirt. She comploined, “Doddy, why ore you looking so glum? You’re

scoring them.”

“My heod hurts, ond it hurts to smile,” Nooh onswered truthfully.

“Then how ore you supposed to smile in the shoot loter?”

“Con’t we hove photos where I’m not smiling?” Nooh felt thot he wos more ot eose if he wos being his

uber-cool self.

“Mommy hos long been bored of your deodpon foce. You need to show onother side of you to her,”

Mockenzie potiently exploined.

Nooh thought obout her words ond felt thot she hod o point. If he olwoys mointoined this serious

demeonor, it would be bod if Modeline’s old memories from five yeors ogo resurfoced.

“We will do os Zeke soid.”

He finolly tolked to the teom, but everyone wos even more on edge now.

Who wos going to be his stylist? Who hod the guts to work on his mokeup ond hoirdo?

“Mockenzie, do you wont to try to do mokeup on Mr. Quincy?” A mokeup ortist tried to get on her good

side ofter heoring thot the butler hod referred to her os such.

“Daddy, your confession would only sound real if you’re telling it from the bottom of your heart. This

book serves as a guide, nothing more. If you’re reading lines out of it, mommy will definitely be weirded

out by you,” Mackenzie shook her head in disappointment.

In fact, Noah knew that he should not just read out the lines, but he always had good memories. He

was able to memorize most of the lines in the book although he had only read them once. In his

subsequent conversation with Madeline, those lines would pop up in his mind without warning.

“Nevermind, daddy, you’re better off resuming your image as an aloof, handsome guy,” Mackenzie

patted his shoulders as she shot a pitiful look at him.

Soon after that, the most professional photography team arrived at the Quincy residence.

They looked uncomfortable and nervous while standing in the huge hall of the Quincy residence. When

Noah made his appearance in his injury, to say that they were baffled and terrified was just an

understatement.

After all, the man in front of them had the power to sway and end their career. One word from him could

cause them to lose their jobs and not be able to survive in this country.

“Daddy wants to have a photoshoot, and the photos should look as natural as possible. It should be in

a candid style,” Mackenzie acted as Noah's spokesperson for now since Noah was not talking and

everyone seemed to be on edge and unsure of what to do.

“I wonder what is the purpose of those photos, Mr. Quincy?” A photographer braced himself and took

the initiative to question him. However, he was met with Noah’s frosty glare, and he could only look

down quickly and wish that he could bury a hole and hide in it.

Mackenzie tugged at Noah’s shirt. She complained, “Daddy, why are you looking so glum? You’re

scaring them.”

“My head hurts, and it hurts to smile,” Noah answered truthfully.

“Then how are you supposed to smile in the shoot later?”

“Can’t we have photos where I’m not smiling?” Noah felt that he was more at ease if he was being his

uber-cool self.

“Mommy has long been bored of your deadpan face. You need to show another side of you to her,”

Mackenzie patiently explained.

Noah thought about her words and felt that she had a point. If he always maintained this serious

demeanor, it would be bad if Madeline’s old memories from five years ago resurfaced.

“We will do as Zeke said.”

He finally talked to the team, but everyone was even more on edge now.

Who was going to be his stylist? Who had the guts to work on his makeup and hairdo?

“Mackenzie, do you want to try to do makeup on Mr. Quincy?” A makeup artist tried to get on her good

side after hearing that the butler had referred to her as such.

Before she could process the fact that the world-famous Mackenzie was actually Mr. Quincy’s

daughter, she had to somehow be his makeup artist.

It was going to be a long day.

“I don’t need makeup,” Noah knew how bad Mackenzie was at this department, so he curtly refused to

accept any makeup.

The makeup artist and the photographer did not know what to say, and Mackenzie really did not want

to waste any more time, so she began to delegate jobs to the team.

“You guys just need to emphasize his cool side, and you don’t need to do any special makeup or

styling on him. The bottom line is, the photos must be able to catch mommy’s attention. Alright, lighting

personnel to the left, photographers to the right…”

Under Mackenzie’s leadership, the photography team was able to produce a few sets of photos.

Although everyone was afraid of Noah, they all agreed that Noah really looked good on camera. His

photos really had a huge impact as if they were shooting a huge and important scene.

When Dylan barged onto the scene, he was shocked by how Noah was able to listen to the team’s

instructions. What had happened to the world? It seemed that Noah was behaving like a regular human

being for once.

“Alright, we should wrap things up here,” When Noah saw Dylan, he knew that Dylan was here to tell

him about the virus that he had. He immediately halted the photographer.

Mackenzie was no longer anywhere to be seen as she was bored with the whole shooting process.

She had gone to her room to play some computer games.

Dylan patted Noah’s shoulders and whispered into his ears, “Noah, do you remember that time when

you fell for Annalise’s ploy?”

Noah froze briefly. Of course, he remembered.

“After that night, did you somewhat recall Maddie’s expression when she was staring at you?” Dylan

was snickering for some reason.

Noah could not help but frown. He recalled that after waking up that morning, Madeline was looking at

him with a shy look on her face. When he was recalling that scene now, he could feel his blood

coursing through his body as if something was stirring.

It seemed that ever since that day, Madeline would blush whenever she saw him.

Dylan theorized that the image of Noah being stark naked in the bathroom had a huge impact on

Madeline that she could not wipe away that image from her mind. Whenever she bumped into him, she

would recall that scene.

Dylan gave a signal to the photography team, and when Noah was still in a daze, Dylan dragged him to

a bathroom. Then, he immediately splashed some water onto him.

When he was wet, Dylan immediately shoved him into the bathtub.

“Snap away! Quick!”

Dylan was guffawing endlessly. These photos of Noah in such a state would be a blast!
