CHAPTER 425 ARE YOU HERE TO ACCUSE ME?
Before Madeline could see the message on Mackenzie’s phone, she received a call from Rowan asking her to go to Sunshine Villa.
“What happened?” Madeline did not expect Thomas to cause trouble at the Solace family’s house.
“Just come here. It’s nothing serious. Don’t worry.”
Judging from Rowan’s tone, it did not seem to be serious, so Madeline was relieved. She told Clinton, “Go back, pack your things, and move here. Then, wait for the production team to call you.”
Clinton nodded and asked whether Madeline needed any help. Madeline said no and left with Mackenzie.
When they left the suburb, Madeline ordered the chauffeur, “Drop me at the junction ahead. Send Mackenzie back. Then, pick up Colt and take them to dinner.”
“Mommy, I want to be with you.” Mackenzie would not let go of Madeline’s arm.
Madeline said gently, “I don’t know what’s going on at the Solace family. If Annalise is going to harm Thomas, you will be a hindrance to me.”
Mackenzie thought for a while and said, “Mommy, you must come back quickly. We will save food for you. Also, you must be relentless at the Solace family’s residence. If Annalise bullies you, just beat her up. Daddy will protect you here in Imperia anyway. You can’t be called a family member of the Demon King of Imperia for nothing.”
“Who taught you to say all this nonsense?” Madeline glared at the chauffeur who pretended to know nothing. She figured she would need to talk to Noah about the things his subordinates had been teaching her children later.
After Madeline got out of the car, the chauffeur said, “Mrs. Quincy, don’t worry. Here at… Nothing will happen to you at the Solace family’s residence.”
The chauffeur wanted to mention Mr. Quincy again, but he could not withstand Madeline’s glare anymore.
“Take Mackenzie and Colt to dinner. If I find out that you take them to some other place, I won’t forgive you,” Madeline did not even have a sliver of trust toward the incredibly witty chauffeur.
The chauffeur saluted her and said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Quincy! I will surely complete my mission!” It made Madeline speechless.
Madeline took a taxi to Sunshine Villa. As soon as she got off the taxi, a dozen bodyguards got off their Cadillacs and approached Madeline. They bowed and said, “Good evening, Mrs. Quincy!”
Madeline was so embarrassed! She could not believe that Noah would send his men everywhere.
When she saw Rowan coming out with a face of disbelief to welcome her, she felt so awkward.
“Mrs. Quincy, we will go in and visit Thomas with you!” One of the bodyguards walked in front of Madeline and started heading toward the villa.
Madeline immediately stopped him and ordered the rest of the bodyguards to wait outside.
“Mrs. Quincy, we have been instructed to protect you at all times by Mr. Quincy.”
“It’s all right. He won’t know since he’s far away. However, if you insist on following me inside, I will tell Noah that all of you are harassing me,” Madeline was tired of all this and used her last resort.
The bodyguard was so scared and bowed toward her, “We will wait for you outside. If you call us, we will rush in immediately.”
Madeline waved her hands and called Rowan to go back inside. Rowan was trying very hard to not laugh at what he had just witnessed.
“What happened to Thomas?” Madeline pretended nothing had happened and asked.
Rowan had no intention of teasing her at all and answered, “Thomas heard Noah was forced by Grandpa to marry Annalise, so he came to question Grandpa. He said Grandpa was an old fossil and insisted he cancel the engagement.”
“This brat is getting more and more out of hand!” Madeline got angry. She wondered if Thomas knew that this place was also Annalise’s home.
If he was caught by Annalise, a five-year-old child like him would not be able to do anything. Then, he would surely be tortured by her.
The more Madeline thought about it, the more furious she got.
“Don’t be mad. Grandpa likes Thomas. He is playing with him right now in the backyard.” The Solace brothers had yet to tell Steve about the fact that Madeline was their sister. They were waiting for him to get better before telling him.
However, the Solace brothers figured it was fine to let the triplets get along with Steve.
Madeline followed Rowan to the back of Sunshine Villa. He saw Thomas holding his toy gun and pointing at Old Mr. Solace whose beard seemed to have been burnt.
Old Mr. Solace played along and acted as if he was shot.
“Thomas was angry when he first came here and accidentally burnt Grandpa’s beard.”
Rowan dared not lead Madeline any closer because she looked very similar to his mother. He was worried that Steve might notice it. He did not want Steve to become too excited and get a stroke.
“He’s causing trouble without me beating him up!” Madeline rolled up her sleeves and wanted to punish Thomas. However, she was stopped by Rowan, “Don’t be so reckless. Look how happy Grandpa is. I called you here because I want you to allow Thomas to stay here for a few days longer.”
“What?” Madeline was dumbfounded.
“Grandpa has been unhealthy, and he has been looking depressed. Since Thomas gets along with him well, I want him to stay and accompany Grandpa for a few more days. Is that fine? Rowan looked at Madeline sincerely.
However, Madeline rejected him and said, “I just had an argument with Annalise in the morning. She is probably still hating me right now.”
She could not put his son near an enemy.
“Don’t worry. I’ll send Annalise away soon and won’t let her meet Thomas.” In truth, Rowan felt sending Annalise away was to protect her. Otherwise, an intelligent child like Thomas would probably give her a hard time.
“Madeline, I beg you. Grandpa is old and weak. I can’t think of something else to make him happy. Besides, he really likes Thomas a lot.”
Madeline looked at Thomas who was playing with Steve on the grass and relented.
“Madeline? Why are you here? Are you here to accuse me?” Annalise popped out suddenly before Madeline could make a decision.
