Chapter 117

Madeline and Noah spoke simultaneously, and Dylan covered his mouth to conceal shock and sprinted into the elevator at the speed of light.

Only Noah and Madeline remained in the living room downstairs after Dylan had left.

For a brief moment, the atmosphere devolved into awkwardness.

"It's not at all funny, Noah, to make such a joke. Never, ever make such jokes again."

"One day, you'll know whether I'm kidding or not."

"You..." Madeline was about to retort when her stomach growled, betraying her.

"You must be hungry. I'll make another omelet for you." With a loving smile on his face, Noah gave her a pat on the head before entering the elevator.

Madeline's heart was in shambles.
