Chapter 92

She had to be more careful this time because Noah had deceived her with someone who disguised herself as Felix's daughter.

"As you wish, Ms. Grant."

Albert knew that Madeline was a meticulous person. He immediately understood her concerns and quickly left the room.

For the next half a day, Madeline remained in the basement to take care of Colton.

She only left after the boy fell asleep.

As soon as she left the room, she received a message from Elise.

"Hey Maddie, are you free today? The café has a new menu, and I want to try it. Do you want to go together?"

All she knows is to eat. Isn't she afraid of gaining weight? Madeline thought as she looked at the screen.

Immediately, she tapped a reply. "OK."

Half an hour later, Madeline stepped out of her car at Cruise Street and strolled over to the café not far away.

The street was crowded even though it was late at night. Madeline felt relaxed as she blended into the crowd and let the bustle wash over her. She did not even notice someone tailing her.

The café was an elegant establishment near the end of a secluded alley. Not many customers were inside, and the peace and silence were a welcome respite.

Madeline took the menu from the waiter's hands and made her order after a short glance.

"One red velvet cake, one cappuccino with double milk and double sugar, and a lemonade."

Most of the items were Elise's favorites.
