Chapter 192

"Noah, is it true that you transferred ownership of all the properties you own to my name?"

Madeline was taken aback.

She had assumed Wayne's words were only to fend Bruno away.

"It's true. I never lie to my wife." Noah reached out to gently stroke her face and took her hand. He then reached into the box to pull out a random folder.

What was inside was a title deed with her name on it.

There was even a column stating the property was individually owned.

The registration dated as far back as five years ago…

"This estate is located at the edge of Berkeley and is only a short distance away from your friend, Elise. You can consider moving here if you want to spend more time with her… This one is a manor in Berkeley. I've had men plant your favorite sunflowers there. You should visit it when you have time. It's close by…"

He walked her through every preparation he had made throughout the years as if it were a magic show.

It was as if she had never left.

Noah, who was happily introducing her to one property after another that "she might like", was like a king overlooking the world and declaring how he had laid down everything for her, from the mountains to the rivers.

Why is he so oddly attractive right now?!

"Have you been well these past five years, Noah?"

She wanted to ask so badly.

All she knew was her own suffering and how she fought with all her might to climb out of hell to see the light of day again.

Yet, she never seemed to ask.

What had he been doing in the five years I've been gone? How had he fared?

"I was well, but now that you, my wife, have returned, never better."
