CHAPTER 540 HER HUSBAND IS ALREADY DEAD
Indeed, Noah had gone to approach Wilda under Madelineâs instruction. When he saw that she was
going back to her room to get some medicine, he purposely spoke to a maid in a voice that was just
loud enough for her to pick up, âGo summon your family doctor. Ms. Harvey is injured.â
Wilda was touched by his gesture and it affirmed her thought that he still cared for her. He had stopped
her just now so that she would not do stupid things, which could affect their future. That must be why
he had stopped her.
Wilda who was feeling disillusioned about the whole situation felt hopeful again.
âMr. Quincy,â Wilda gazed at Noah with an expectant look, which gave him goosebumps.
He quickly moved forward and checked her palm, âIs it still painful?â
Wilda almost teared up as she replied pitifully, âNot at all.â
âYou should apply some ointment in your room. Donât be so rash next time, itâs not worth it.â Noah
accompanied her back to her room.
Wilda was instantly enveloped by a romantic feeling, âI thought that you were not going to talk to me
anymore, Mr. Quincy.â
âWhy do you have such thoughts?â Noahâs brows shot up.
âItâs because you must have a bad impression of me now after all that happened,â Wilda was looking at
the floor, and her tears were going to break free of her eyes. It was as if she had been wronged so
great.
If Noah was any ordinary man, he would have taken her into his embrace and given her comfort.
However, Noah was no ordinary man. He was a man who was fiercely loyal to Madeline.
âMy impression of you is true, as you said, bad, but I know how to judge someone,â No matter how
Wilda was trying to put on an act, Noah was confident that he could see through all of her tricks. This
was an easy job.
Wilda thought that he was trying to console her now, but for some reason, his words pricked her like
some thorns.
After entering her room, she stared at Noah with an unwilling and pitiful look. It was a look that she was
very familiar with, and it was as if she had practiced a thousand times how to make it seem real.
Noah was beginning to feel disgusted at her. He took a step into the room and was able to divert
Wildaâs attention to a full-length mirror that was just by the door.
âAh!â Wilda immediately let out a scream. Then, she shoved Noah out of the room and slammed the
door.
Noah was grinning outside the room, âMs. Harvey, I heard that the Harvey family has built a resort
lately. Do I have the honor to visit that place?â
A moment of silence followed before a soft voice came from behind the door, âWe can go there once
my swollen mouth recovers.â
Wilda was covering her face and agonizing over her carelessness. She could not imagine how she
would look in Noahâs eyes. Her lips were so swollen they looked like sausages, and she had just used
his very lips to try to suck up Noah.
He must have felt disgusted when he saw those lips of hers.
However, he did not point out her lips when they were talking and walking together, and he did not
avoid her gaze either. As expected, she must be special in his eyes.
Wildaâs mood improved once she thought like that. She called out at the door, âMr. Quincy, are you still
there?â
âYes?â Noah replied absentmindedly as he was about to turn around and go back.
However, his nonchalant voice had a tremendous impact on Wilda.
She tried to stop her heart from pounding furiously as she replied, âI will wait for you at the door at eight
in the morning tomorrow. We will go to the resort together.â
âThatâs great,â Noah immediately left Wildaâs room after giving her his answer. He had a feeling that he
would puke out of disgust if he continued to linger around.
Poor Wilda waited at the door for more than half an hour, and when she heard that Noah did not reply
to her, she opened the door only to see that he was long gone. Although she felt a little down, she did
not feel angry at all. That was because her mind had already begun to imagine their little trip tomorrow.
Since he was taking the initiative to invite her out, she thought that there was a high chance that he
would confess to her.
âDaddy, why are you still loitering around here? If you donât show yourself any sooner, I am going to
find another man to be my daddy!â Mackenzie found Noah and he was dragging Noah to the living
room.
Noah quickened his steps, âWhatâs going on?â
âI heard from the others that Sean is going to make mommy his new girlfriend. Everyone seems to
have agreed to it,â Mackenzie shot a look at her dad.
If it was not for her wit, she thought that Noahâs wife would be taken away by another man.
Sean? Noah struggled to recall that there was even such a person around here. He never took to heart
someone who was not worth his attention.
Noah carried Mackenzie into his arms and kissed her on her cheeks, âTell me what happened in detail.â
After that, Mackenzie began to repeat what she had heard from Madeline and Winova. However, she
was so busy looking for Noah that she did not hear them when they were talking about Eliza.
Noahâs mood worsened when learned what had happened, and by the time he returned to the dining
area, Madeline, Winova, and the others were still huddled together. They seemed to enjoy their
conversation a lot.
Sean was seated just beside Madeline, and he would fan Madeline as well as pour water for her. It
seemed that he had a hard time removing his gaze from Madeline.
Madeline already had such charisma in Seanâs eyes when she did not really doll herself up. If Sean
somehow saw how beautiful she normally was, Sean was going to plaster himself all over her.
âFrom what I see, it seems that Sean is qualified to be my new daddy,â Mackenzie was stroking her
chin as she commented.
Before she met Noah, Seanâs behavior was how Mackenzie had envisioned her daddy to behave.
Noah shot a dissatisfied look at his precious daughter and pinched her hard, âAre you saying that heâs
better than me?â
Mackenzie immediately cooed when she saw that Noah was jealous, âMy daddy is the best in the
world.â
Mackenzie had taken after Madeline well. She knew to give comforting words whenever she enraged
Noah, and unfortunately for him, he fell for their tricks every time. Once Madeline and Mackenzie
sucked up to him, he would grant every single one of their wishes no matter how impossible it was.
Noah whispered something into Mackenzieâs ears, which sent her running toward Madeline. She said
to Madeline, âAunty, is your daughter the same age as me? Is she as cute as me?
Madeline noticed Noah who had a hostile aura around him because of jealousy, and she cracked into
laughter at her, âYou guys are equally cute.â
âIf your daughter is as cute as you claim to be, donât forget about her daddy, or else he would be so
sad,â Mackenzie said solemnly. In the end, she decided that although Sean was a good man, he was
incomparable to Noah. She wished that Sean would give up on his own.
âThe father of her daughter was dead a long time ago, so she has to move on. Or else, how can she
live life normally?â Sean was smiling ear to ear when he said this. His eyes never wavered from
Madelineâs face.
He somehow thought that Mackenzie resembled Madeline a little.
To top it off, Mackenzie was really cute. She looked like she could be a television star. Wait a minute, I
think she is actually that child star. If Iâm not mistaken, sheâs quite famous nowadays!
As Sean continued to be puzzled by Mackenzieâs real identity, she had already returned to Noahâs side.
She whispered into his ears, âMummy said that her husband is already dead.â
Noah felt himself stiffen up, and Mackenzie took this opportunity to break free of him before running
away.
Great, not only have I lost my title as her husband, I am somehow dead now. I should be lying in my
grave now instead of standing around here. I wonder why I am not aware of this fact.
Madeline saw that Noah was on the brink of exploding, so she made an excuse to leave this group
which was indulging in gossip. However, when she almost reached the washroom, she was suddenly
pulled by someone into a storeroom.
