Chapter 230

“Can you stop holding on to me? This is so embarrassing,” Noah complained as he tried to pull his armout of Dylan’s tight grip. But the latter refused to let go, instead pleading, “No way! The crazy woman isstill here. I’m scared.” He looked at Elise with a fearful expression as he spoke.

“Why did you agree to come here if you are so afraid?” Noah hissed. He shoved his friend aside to geta better view of the situation. Unfortunately, the market was buzzing with crowds. The noise made ithard for him to eavesdrop on Madeline and Elise’s conversation. As a result, he was even moreannoyed at Dylan’s cowardice.

“Well…” The man was stumped by the sudden questioning and tried to change the topic. “I… I saw thatMaddie was angry. As her friend, shouldn’t I show her some concern? You must apologize to Maddielater on, okay?”

Noah was not in the mood to consider the reason for Dylan’s appearance. He was still angry thatMadeline had accepted Dylan’s Instagram follower request. Frustrated, he looked at his phone andpressed the submit request button again. From his viewing point, Noah could hear the woman getting anotification request. Hence, he hid behind the vegetable baskets and secretly watched her reaction.Alas, Madeline peered at her phone and disregarded the Instagram request.

What’s wrong with her? Didn’t she see my friend request? Did she ignore me on purpose? Noah fumedinwardly. Unwilling to accept his defeat, he hit the request button once more. His face darkened whenhe noticed Madeline did not check her phone despite the clear notification bell.

“What are you doing, Noah? Did you hear what they were saying? They have almost finished eatingthe two plates of crayfish! It looks so delicious. If only I could have a bite…” Dylan lamented.

“Stop fooling around. I’ll buy you some later,” Noah said in a perfunctory tone as his eyes remainedglued on the phone screen.

When the owner of the vegetable store returned from the restroom, he found two men lurking in hisstore, staring at the two ladies who were feasting on the crayfish. “What are you two doing? Are youspying on the ladies in broad daylight? What nerves!” he chastised.

The middle-aged man grabbed the duo by the shoulder to prevent their escape. Dylan reminded Noahjust as he was about to criticize the man for the physical intrusion, “Cool down! Maddie is still there!” Hethen turned to the store owner and

said in a hushed tone, “This is just a misunderstanding. We aren’t bad guys. The pretty lady over thereis his wife. They are arguing so…”

Unfortunately, the man did not believe their words. “Hah! Well-dressed people nowadays are morelikely to act brazenly.”

“That’s untrue! You should not make such accusatory remarks!” Dylan retorted as he could not toleratethe injustice.

Noah’s expression darkened as he shouted with an irrefutable tone, “Let go!”

The owner hissed, “Are you finally showing your true colors? Don’t blame me for exposing yourheinous acts!”

“What do you want?” Noah looked at the man with a dangerous gaze. What transpired, however, wasbeyond his expectations.

The owner dragged them in front of Madeline and Elise and said, “Hi, ladies. Do you know these twomen?”

An awkward silence filled the air. Noah’s face remained stoic, but panic filled his eyes. Oh, no! Whatshould I do now that Madeline has caught me spying on her?

“What a coincidence, Maddie! Haha… haha…” Dylan avoided establishing eye contact with Elise andinstead decided to greet the kinder and more understanding Madeline. Furthermore, Noah was the onethought to have cheated on his wife, so he had no reason to be on her bad side. Sadly, things did notwork out the way Dylan had hoped.

Elise stood up and glared at the man as she shrieked, “Dylan Felch! How dare you stalk us!”

Meanwhile, Noah was enraged when he noticed Madeline ignoring him. He deliberated for a long timebefore deciding to take a softer approach. “I sent you an Instagram friend request, my dearest wife.Please remember to accept it.” He did not plan on making excuses since they were caught red-handedby the store owner. In any case, the “victim” was his wife.

Madeline did not react, instead switching her phone to do not disturb mode.

“Are you all acquainted?” the middle-aged man asked in puzzlernent. Based on their interactions, it didnot seem like they were strangers.

Dylan pulled the man back to his vegetable stall as he urged, “Didn’t I tell you that the couple over hereare arguing? I suggest that you don’t interfere with their personal matters.”

“I have no idea what today’s youth think. Why can’t you just speak it out rather than stalk each other? Iassumed you were both up to no good!” the man bemoaned.

“I’m sorry for causing so much trouble. This is all our fault. We shan’t disturb you any further.” Dylanimmediately ran away from the vegetable stall after appeasing the man. He then pulled Noah andshamelessly joined the ladies at the table.

“The crayfish looks delicious! Shall I peel a piece of this delicious seafood for you?” Dylan told Elise,who was disgusted by his shameless actions.

“Stop this nonsense. There isn’t enough food for the four of us. Let’s go get some more,” the womaninsisted.

“But there’s so much food left! Can I have a bite first?” the man protested.

“No! Don’t you dare!” Elise threatened as she pulled Dylan away.

There were only Noah and Madeline left at the table. He took a crayfish, skinned it, and placed it in herbowl.

“That was all a misunderstanding with Annalise. Madeline, can you please quit being upset with me?”Noah pleaded.

“You’ve misunderstood, Mr. Quincy. We aren’t even together. Why should I be angry with you?” Sheavoided eye contact and refused to eat the peeled crayfish.

“We were still sharing the same bed this morning, my dearest wife. Have you forgotten about it sosoon?” Noah protested pitifully as he looked at Madeline incredulously.

Madeline shrieked, “What the hell are you talking about, Noah Quincy! Why are you so shameless?”

“I’m speaking the truth! Not only did you sleep on my bed, but you also wore my clothes too! How couldyou believe the woman’s words so easily? You’ve even changed the house’s passcode. I’m innocent!”Noah lamented. He had finally found a way to get Madeline’s attention. Hence, he tugged the woman’ssleeve and tried his best to act pitifully.
