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

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

"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.
