CHAPTER 576 UP TO SOMETHING?
Noah sighed inwardly, then cupped Madeline's face and kissed her deeply. If he didn't kiss her until she was dizzy, she would probably be able to laugh at him all night.
He knew all too well about her strange sense of humor.
Madeline was catching her breath after the kiss, and she looked down at the dance floor to see what was going on. After searching for a while, she finally spotted Elise, but who was the man she was holding onto?
Noah followed her gaze and saw Elise as well. And as for the man she was holding onto, he recognized him at first glance.
Wasn't it that sleazy Dylan?
Ever since Elise came back from Yashal, she ignored Dylan. Dylan tried countless ways to win her back but to no avail. He could only watch as she mingled with various men.
Tonight was a perfect opportunity, and he certainly couldn't let it slip away.
Just based on his outfit, he sent at least ten pictures to Noah, asking if Noah could recognize him. From the current situation, it seems he succeeded.
But who knows if Elise will still admit it when she wakes up tomorrow morning.
“Is that guy Dylan?” Madeline asked. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Noah's smile froze for a moment, and Madeline became even more unrestrained in her laughter. "Haha, he must have spent a lot of money tonight. That peacock-like outfit of his looks really expensive."
That's for sure. The buttons on his shirt are made of diamonds. Noah even suspects he might get robbed walking down the street wearing that.
Madeline raised an eyebrow. "So, you brought me here just to watch them?"
Noah gave her a wordless look and said nothing.
Well, he couldn't possibly be that nosy.
"Wait, why are there kids here?" Madeline asked again, puzzled, as she looked at the three dressed-up little figures and leaned down to examine them more closely.
Noah followed her gaze and his face darkened. Were those not Thomas and his siblings?
If tonight was just an ordinary costume party, it wouldn't be a big deal to let them stay and have some fun. But tonight was destined to be turbulent, and it was too dangerous for them to stay downstairs.
Besides, the bar was a mix of all sorts of people, and there were too many inappropriate scenes for children.
Noah made a phone call, "Go find Thomas and the others at the ballroom," he said.
Madeline stood up, ready to go down herself, but Noah stopped her, "Don't worry, Lucas went to find them, they'll be fine."
"Lucas is here too?" Madeline glanced over at the dance floor, but couldn't tell which one was Lucas.
And usually, isn't this kind of thing supposed to be handled by Wayne? Why did he choose Lucas this time? Did Wayne not come with him?
Why does it feel like this is not just a simple costume party?
"He's with Mia," Noah said, pointing his finger toward the corner. Madeline saw Lucas and Mia leaving their seats and heading toward Thomas and his siblings.
At the same time, Madeline noticed two waiters blocking Thomas and his siblings from leaving.
So it meant that the bartenders and waitstaff in the bar were Noah's people.
"So this is your property?" Madeline raised an eyebrow.
Noah had transferred all his assets to her name before, so she didn't remember owning this bar.
"When you were insisting on coming here to play, I bought this place. My pocket money is all gone, so I'll have to rely on my wife to support me from now on," Noah said, clinking his glass against hers to make a crisp sound.
"So what are you up to tonight?" Madeline suddenly became curious, her eyes sparkling.
"Take a look and you'll see," Noah furrowed his brows suddenly. Madeline followed his gaze and saw Thomas and his siblings running away, with the waiter and Lucas chasing after them, but unable to catch up.
Not only did they fail to catch them, but they also got stung by a swarm of bees.
"That little brat needs to be taught a lesson," Madeline couldn't resist the urge to go down and catch Thomas herself.
Noah pressed her back into the chair. "Don't worry, everyone down there works for me, nothing will happen. Going down there will only stir up trouble."
He pointed in another direction, Madeline followed his finger and saw two people sitting in Noah's previous seat, dressed identically to both Noah and her.
"Thomas, something seems off to me," Colton grabbed Thomas who was running wildly ahead.
Mackenzie chimed in, "Those two people don't seem to be daddy and mommy."
They had been watching "Noah" and "Madeline" in the booth from afar, afraid of being caught. But after observing for a while, they realized something was off. The "Madeline" in the booth was actually peeling grapes for Noah and feeding them to him with a fawning expression on her face.
Even with the masks on, Mackenzie could sense the obsequiousness on "Madeline's" face. How could her mommy act like that toward daddy?
If someone were to peel grapes, it should be daddy peeling them for mommy.
"Are you sure?" Thomas asked with suspicion. "Then why are they dressed like daddy and mommy? And why was that waiter chasing us? Did something happen to daddy and mommy?"
Colton and Mackenzie looked a bit serious, and finally, Colton said, "Let's go find them. Once we find them, we'll know the answer."
"If we go looking for them, my butt is gonna bloom," Thomas said, holding onto his butt and feeling a bit hopeless.
They were just here to have fun, how did it turn into a game of "little tadpoles looking for their mom"?
Mackenzie gave Thomas a disapproving glare and asked, "What if something happened to daddy and mommy? You wouldn't care?"
Only then did Thomas sober up and nod seriously. He was about to lead Colton and Mackenzie back to the dance floor when Colton stopped him in his tracks and said, "Let's go to the surveillance room."
Mackenzie knocked Thomas's head and said, "You idiot, if we go back now, won't we just get caught by the waiters?" Thomas glanced at the dance floor where there were more waiters now than before. He had really made a stupid mistake.
But the problem was, they didn't know where the surveillance room was!
The three kids were running around the bar, trying to avoid the waiters and find the room, and they were really busy.
Madeline activated the monitoring device on Thomas and watched as they roamed around the bar. Thomas confidently claimed that he knew how to find their parents, and once they found them and confirmed that they were okay, they could just make a run for it.
How naive. You can't escape a beating like that.
"Run, Porky Pig is coming again!" Thomas turned back and saw the Porky Pig masked man chasing them with the waiter.
Lucas heard his exclamation and was speechless. His mask was taken off and left aside when he kissed Mia earlier.
Then Noah asked him to find the kids, so he had to temporarily use someone else's mask and ended up with a Porky Pig one.
It was still the Porky Pig with a green face and fangs, ugly as hell.
Thomas, Colton, and Mackenzie sprinted away while the little bee provided cover, escaping Lucas' pursuit once again.
They dashed into an elevator, only to find someone already inside. They looked up and were completely taken aback.
