Chapter 65
Madeline felt Noah was overconfident. She also wasn’t sure whether Noah was trying to tease her, so she said nothing and held Noah’s arm as Noah led her inside the Quincy residence.
The Quincy residence was huge. It was decorated with faerie lights. Costumed mascots can also be seen walking around and interacting with the guests. The whole place looked like it came out of a fairy tale.
When Madeline stepped inside, she figured Thomas had a huge part to play in the party’s theme. She remembered how Thomas always wanted a party like this. She was planning to realize his dream on this birthday, yet Noah did it for him first.
As Thomas’ mother, Madeline felt jealous. However, she was comfortable with the atmosphere. Even Noah looked much better to her at that moment.
“What are you looking at, Ms. Madeline?”
“Nothing.”
“If you want to look at me, you may do so without being sneaky about it.”
“Mr. Quincy, you have been quite slick recently. Do you know that?”
Before Madeline could find an excuse to leave Noah and look for Thomas, Thomas ran out of the house happily.
When Thomas saw Madeline, he winked at her as if he was trying to show off his birthday party. Then, he ran over and hugged Noah’s leg. Their intimacy shocked Madeline. If she didn’t know how good an actor Thomas was, she would surely think he has betrayed her.
“Daddy! This lady is so pretty. Can I take a picture with her?”
“Sure. I’m sure Miss Madeline won’t mind since Colt is so cute.”
“Sure. Let’s take a picture together.” Madeline had no choice but to agree. However, she wasn’t sure what Thomas was planning.
Madeline hinted at Thomas with a gaze, but Thomas ignored her.
The Quincy family’s photographer helped them take the picture.
“Wow. Mr. Quincy and Miss Madeline are a match for each other.”
“Yes. They look exactly like a family of three. What a loving family.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Since Mr. Quincy brought her here, I’m sure she will be the future Mrs. Quincy.”
“It’s highly possible. They are even wearing matching outfits today.”
Everyone was talking about them. Noah acted indifferently and greet the other guests.
Madeline wanted to explain, but it was Thomas’ birthday party. She didn’t want to make matters worse, so she had no choice but to ignore them as Noah did.
She also just realized that the three of them were wearing matching outfits. Since Thomas’ outfit was given by her, it was understandable. However, it was too much of a coincidence for Noah’s suit to have the same color, material, and pattern as their outfits.
It was a rare design in the fashion industry. Their outfits were designs from LM Boutique that had yet to be released. Madeline didn’t get it. She wondered if Noah was also a regular client of LM Boutique.
Thanks to the photograph session, Madeline got to spend time together with Thomas.
The Quincy Residence looked like a theme park now.
Thomas pulled Madeline’s hand and brought her around the place. They had pastries and drank chocolate milk. They also rode on swings and the carousel in the garden…
Madeline felt relaxed when she saw how happy Thomas was. She followed her and used her phone to take many pictures of her son. She had to capture this moment since children grow up quickly.
“Here. Look at me. 1, 2, 3…” Madeline took a picture of Thomas on the carousel. A polaroid picture came out of the camera that was given by the butler when he saw Madeline and Thomas having fun together.
“Mom… Auntie Madeline. Do I look handsome in the picture?”
“Of course. The picture will appear soon.”
Madeline shook the photograph in his hand. Thomas slowly appeared on the polaroid.
“Wow! I knew it. I’m getting more and more handsome!”
“What a narcissist,” Madeline said. Then, her face changes when she saw the picture.
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Thomas felt a change in Madeline’s emotion and whispered to her.
“It’s nothing. Well, Birthday Boy, what else do you want to play?”
“Miss Madeline, I know I’m a child but please don’t lie to me,” Thomas said while crossing his arms like an adult.
Madeline said nothing. She knew she couldn’t hide anything from him, so she had to show him the photo.
A person sneaking around was captured in the photograph. It was Angie. She was wearing a black dress and hiding inside the bushes. No one would notice her if she wasn’t captured in the photograph.
Madeline sat on a bench with Thomas as he whispered to her, “It is that bad woman. Mommy, should we tell Scumbag?”
“There are many people around. We should see what she is trying to do first,” Madeline hesitated before she made the decision.
Angie could only sneak into the Quincy residence for two people, Noah and Thomas.
Madeline wasn’t worried about Thomas since he was by her side. As for Noah, she figured it was probably best if she did nothing. Besides, their relationship was none of her business.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go, Mommy. Off to a great adventure! Let’s see what the bad woman is trying to do by sneaking inside.”
Thomas was very excited to have this “great adventure” with his mother. He pulled Madeline’s hand and headed towards the residence.
Madeline had no choice but to follow him. After all, she was also curious about what trouble Angie could cause.
