Chapter 204

Elise was so furious by Madeline’s slow reaction.

The fish almost got burnt.

"But… I don't seem to know how to love someone anymore." Madeline murmured slowly after a while.

Not since she came back from the dead five years ago.

It's not like she never had admirers, but she just couldn’t get herself to fall for someone again.

It was as if her heart had turned on an auto-protection mechanism. Whenever she had any first hint of affection, it will automatically avoid every possible risk. “Stay away from those people.”

She thought that it was her own obsession over Noah, that she would love nobody else but him.

But when Noah confessed that he loved her, what she felt more is fear.

The fear of repeating the same mistakes, afraid to expose her true self.

Looking at Madeline’s expression, Elise knew that those sad stories were keeping in her mind.

As Elise was figuring out ways to comfort her, she turned around and was startled to find Noah standing by the kitchen door.

"Uhh… Noah?"

Oh gosh… When was he here? Don’t tell me he had heard everything of what Maddie just said.

Damn you, Dylan, don't you know how to make a sound? He’s your best friend! At least inform us don’t you?

Elise angrily cursed Dylan several times in her heart.

"Thanks for your help, Ms. Elise!"

"My pleasure, Mr. Quincy!" Even though feeling slightly awkward, Elise showed a professional fake smile.

"Why are you here?" Madeline turned after she was well mentally-prepared to face him.
