Chapter 314 I Want to Stay

“Huh? But Mommy… Why?” Thomas jerked up from his seat and nearly flipped his plate on the floor.

Colt and Mackenzie looked at him curiously. Even Wayne was silently mouthing to him, “What’swrong?”

However, Thomas did not tell them because he felt guilty that he had lied to his mother earlier.

“I’m so sorry, Thomas, but I have to send you three away because of what’s going on between yourDaddy and me. However, I’ll respect your decision.” Madeline was confident that Thomas andMackenzie would stay by her side no matter what happened.

“Mommy…” Thomas sounded like he was almost crying. He took his phone and ran into his bedroom,but just when he was about to close the door, Mackenzie stuck her foot in, and Colt also came in.

Mackenzie silently indicated to Thomas to turn on the speaker. Thomas did not want to, but Mackenziewaved her fist at him. Thomas had no choice but to put his phone down and turn on the speaker.

“Don’t worry, Thomas. I’ll bring you all back frequently to visit him.”

Mackenzie and Colt’s faces turned pale when they heard that. Especially Colt, who looked very hurt.

He had just reunited with his mother, but he was about to be abandoned once again.

“Mommy, don’t you want to be with Daddy anymore?” Thomas was reluctant to leave Noah. He did notwant to be fatherless again.

“It’s over between your Daddy and me. I’ll be leaving this country soon too. Thomas, you have to makea choice.” Madeline felt sad all of a sudden. She knew the children loved Noah very much.

However, she was even more afraid that the children would end up like her: After falling deeply in lovewith Noah and becoming utterly dependent on him, he mercilessly abandoned her.

Thomas glanced at Mackenzie, then at Colt. He did not know what to do.

“Mommy, Daddy loves you very much. He’ll be very sad if you leave him,” Colt suddenly said.

Madeline’s eyes widened. She guessed Thomas had turned on the speaker so all the children couldhear her, but at the same time, that saved her the effort of having to explain it three times.

“You’re all my children, and I love you very much. Even after I bring you all to Uranica, I won’t stop youfrom contacting him. I hope you all can leave with me.”

Knowing that Colt was listening to the conversation made Madeline selfish. She was afraid the childrenwould not go with her, so she did not mention making their own decisions.

The three children looked at each other. Thomas was already beginning to sob; Colt’s eyes had turnedbloodshot, and he was about to cry. Only Mackenzie remained composed.

“I want to stay,” she said.

She was not going to leave Noah, especially after he had risked his life stealing the antidote forMadeline. If Noah found out Madeline had left him, he might just give up the ghost.

She also understood her mother’s personality very well. If she and Thomas did not want to leave, thenMadeline would stay too.

If it came to that, she would help Noah reunite with Madeline.

Noah was willing to die for Madeline, and that made Mackenzie think he would be the perfect husbandfor her mother.novelbin

“Mackenzie? Have you made up your mind?”

Madeline was flustered. She was afraid that none of the children wanted to go with her.

“I’m sorry, Mommy. I’ve already made up my mind,” Mackenzie said with extraordinary calm.

“Mackenzie…” Madeline wanted to persuade her daughter otherwise but did not know where to start.She could not possibly speak ill of their father, nor could she force the children to leave with her.

Thomas could hear that her mother was about to cry. He said, “Mommy, I…”

He wanted to leave with Madeline so she would not be sad!

Before he could finish, Mackenzie pressed her hand over his mouth and used the other hand to draw aline across his neck.

He shuddered and said, “Mommy… I’m sorry.”

“Colt…?” Madeline placed her hope on the last child.

A long silence was the answer she received.

“Mommy, you should stay too. There’s plenty of fish in the sea,” Mackenzie said. She had learned thatline from one of her scripts.

Madeline smiled wryly and shook her head. She began to reflect upon whether she had failed as amother. The children had only known Noah for a few months, but they were on his side now.

Her chest began to heave, and it took her some time before she calmed down.

“Mommy, why don’t you try falling in love again? You’ll be happy when you have someone you love,”Mackenzie continued to comfort her.

Mackenzie might look like she did not care, but she was most afraid of her mother being sad.

When she thought about how her mother was about to cry on the other end of the call, she would feellike crying as well.

However, she could not cry now. If she cried, Thomas would cry too, and their mother would storm thevilla and take them away.

“I see, I understand. Thank you, my dear Mackenzie. I’ll still love you, no matter where you are. If youmiss me, you’re always welcome to call me,” Madeline said and quickly hung up.

She was afraid that she might cry in front of her children.

If the children did not want to leave, she could not possibly leave without them.

She had to think of a way to discuss with them about custody. If they insisted on staying with Noah, shewanted to know how Noah would take care of them.

After calming herself down in the car, Madeline quickly drove off.

While leaving the villa, she noticed a car driving in her direction. When the cars passed each other, shesaw that the other driver was Natalia.

Jealousy began to spread in her mind.

She took a few deep breaths to suppress that emotion and dialed Elise’s number. “Wanna meet up anddrink?”

“Give me the location.” Elise could tell that Madeline was not her usual self.

Madeline gave the location of the bar she frequented. She arrived first, so she ordered a drink forherself.

While guzzling the next bottle of beer, the bottle was suddenly snatched away.

“You’ll get drunk easily if you drink so quickly.”

She was already under the influence of alcohol, and she was seeing double. She narrowed her eyes,and it took her some time to recognize the man standing in front of her.

“It’s you, Oscar. Your next drink is on me.” Madeline snapped her fingers to gain the bartender’sattention.

“That’s a lot of bottles. Something on your mind?” Oscar discreetly swapped Madeline’s bottle with abottle of drinking water.

Madeline’s tongue was already numb from all the alcohol, and she did not taste the difference. Shesmiled and answered, “Nothing’s on my mind. What could be on my mind? I’m happy that there’snothing on my mind. I’m alone now. I’m finally free! I’m happy!’
