Chapter 369 We’re Just Friends

"Can you let go? Why are you here if you hate being here so much?" Madeline looked at Xander who was surrounded by the triplets and cast a helpless glance at Noah.

"I have to come to see for myself what my love rival looks like." He interlocked their fingers together and leaned lazily against the wall. His expression spelled out how she needed to watch herself and challenged her to see what would happen if she approached the crowded Xander.

Madeline now knew how Noah saw Xander as his rival and not just the children's godfather.

"Xander is a good friend. I'm going to get angry if you keep this up. You're going to cost me my friendship with him."

She got serious.

"Next time, I'll make sure to ask Wayne to take a photo of the way he looks at you. What friend glues their eyes on someone twenty-four seven?"

Noah believed that Madeline only saw him as a friend but Xander did not see her the same way.

How could he not know what a male gaze looked like?

He could see a flash of hostility in Xander's eyes when they looked into each other's eyes.

"We haven't met in two years. What's wrong with him looking at me? Why do you always interfere with my friendships? You forget, Mr. Quincy. We're also nothing more than friends."

Madeline tried to shake his grip to go to Xander, but Noah refused to let go.

He stood upright and leaned close to her face until the tips of their noses touched. "So we're friends that hug and kiss each other?"

Her heart was beating out of her chest. She stomped his foot harshly. "Don't push your luck."

"Alright, I got it. He and I are different kinds of friends." He lifted their interlocked hands and pressed a gentle kiss against her knuckles.
