CHAPTER 407 THE WOMEN ON THE BOAT
"Mr. Quincy, a small boat is approaching us. Our men went to investigate and discovered their boat had a leak. They want us to take them ashore," the bodyguard said, approaching Noah and pointing to the right.
"Let them come up and place them in a cabin that's farther away," Noah said, giving a nod as he cast a quick glance in the direction of his finger. "Keep them away from us."
Following his response, the bodyguard left.
Madeline also looked in that direction, only to see bodyguards leading several women up to the yacht. Those women were all dressed in swimsuits and had hot bodies. There were two Demacians among them.
When Noah noticed a few men emerging from the back in swim trunks, he moved in the way of Madeline's view and said, "Stop looking. Let's go get some food."
With a small smile, Madeline nodded. She then proceeded to walk toward Dylan and the others.
She wondered if the dolphins' incredible performance earlier had scared off all the small fish they had managed to snare.
"Bring Thomas here. We've seen enough dolphins. It's time to get serious about fishing. There will be no lunch today if you don't catch anything." Madeline addressed the bodyguard standing next to her.
The bodyguard immediately went in search of Thomas. Thomas was currently learning how to train dolphins with the dolphin trainer. His face fell immediately when he learned that they were going fishing.
"Can I do my punishment tomorrow, Mommy? Now I'm learning how to train the dolphins for tricks from the trainer." Thomas rushed over and hugged Madeline's thigh, pleading for mercy.
Colton had followed him. Only Mackenzie was still playing with the dolphins, accompanied by bodyguards.
"When did you learn to negotiate, Thomas? You have the option of fishing or a one-month Internet ban." Madeline believed that Thomas needed to take something away from today, or he would grow up morally reprehensible.
"The last Internet ban hasn't ended yet, and you want to ban it again?" Thomas facepalmed, feeling hopeless.
"Yeah, how long has it been since your last screw up? Yet, you screw up again? Do you really believe that your father will protect you and that I won't punish you?" Madeline said, glaring at Noah.
Having somehow ended up as collateral damage, Noah coughed lightly and turned his head away.
"Go now! Find a spot and fish by yourself. Keep your distance from your Uncle Dylan and the others. I'll double the punishment if I find out you were cheating!"
Thomas dashed to the other side of the deck with a bucket in hand in response to Madeline's command. Colton greeted Madeline and then declared that he would like to be punished alongside Thomas before running after him.
The two little ones sat alone in front of their fishing rods, staring at each other. Thomas had wanted to start a conversation with Colton, but Colton said that would scare away all the fish, so he refused to speak to him. The boredom was killing him.
He was about to pull a stunt when Madeline caught sight of him, and he quickly stopped.
The aroma soon permeated the entire deck as Madeline and Noah gradually began grilling meat, making sashimi, and frying tempura.
Thomas' stomach rumbled, and he swallowed his saliva a great number of times. All the bodyguards had the meat that Madeline had grilled, with the exception of him and Colton.
Thomas was about to throw the fishing rod into the water when Colton noticed him and said, "Stop playing now. Once we've caught some fish, we'll be able to eat."
"When are we going to be able to catch some fish? After fishing all morning, Uncle Dylan and the others had barely caught any fish. Can we manage to catch one?" Thomas stated dejectedly.
Mackenzie, however, suddenly appeared with a plate of tempura. She spun around in front of them, saying, "Uncle Rowan's tempura is absolutely delicious. It's fragrant and crispy."
"Zeke, Zeke, please give me one. If you give me one, you can order me around to do whatever you want once we get home," Thomas begged, drooling.
"Mommy said you can only eat after you've caught some fish. Otherwise, you'll never learn your lesson." Mackenzie purposefully bit into the tempura with a loud crunch, making Thomas extremely hungry.
"Zeke, please, I beg you. Please give me a bite. Just one bite, okay?" Thomas pleaded with Mackenzie while grabbing a corner of her clothing.
Mackenzie rolled her eyes and smiled, "Sure, I can let you have a bite, but did you know that a few women had just boarded the yacht?"
Thomas nodded while keeping his gaze on the meat on her plate.
Colton took a long, thoughtful look at the cabin downstairs. He had seen the bodyguards escorting them downstairs earlier.
"I overheard the two women from Imperia talking earlier about how they had purposefully made a hole in their boat after watching the dolphin show so they could have an excuse to board our yacht."
"What do they want? Are they here for Daddy?" When Thomas heard that, he instantly lost his cool.
"They said that as long as they manage to woo the owner of this yacht, they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives with no worries," Mackenzie said, nodding.
"What do you want to do, Zeke?" Colton asked tentatively.
Mackenzie had a sly grin on her face. She leaned in close, whispered a few words, and returned with the plate.
As for the tempura on the plate, Thomas didn't even take a single bite out of it.
After learning such a big secret, he was no longer interested in eating meat.
Those bad girls wanted to be their mother's replacement. They needed to be taught a lesson!
"Thomas, I think we should go tell Daddy. You still have a bump on the top of your head. What if you fainted when you took action on your own?" Colton didn't quite agree with what Mackenzie had said just now.
However, Thomas had always been very headstrong. He stated, "It's fine. What could happen to us under Daddy's watch when so many bodyguards are present? Don't you want Daddy and Mommy to reconcile?"
"Will that really bring them back together?" Colton didn't think it was a good idea.
"Zeke said it would, so it will definitely work. You just keep fishing here later. You'll see what I mean." Thomas removed his coat and pants and propped them on the chair with a stick, creating a dummy.
He then crept into the cabin, close to the stairwell.
Soon after, two hot, curvy women in bikinis emerged from downstairs while the bodyguards were "negligent."
As for this "negligence," it was Thomas' doing.
Noah was grilling steak for Madeline when they came up, and seeing that she was looking at him expectantly, he wanted to show off his skills.
"Hello, Sir. We appreciate you saving us. We honestly don't know what we would have done without you." Noah was startled when the woman suddenly knelt beside him and drew close to his eyes with her heavily makeup face.
Suddenly, there was a scream from behind, and Noah felt two soft things leaning against his arms as he unconsciously started to back away.
He raised his head to look at Madeline and noticed her arms crossed before her chest. She was taking in the excitement as if it were nothing special.
Noah immediately stood up and pushed the woman away. Then, with a sneering expression as if staring at a corpse, he muttered, "Get lost."
