Chapter 416 Hold Tight
A month later, Thomas, dressed in fashionable kids wear, skipped ahead of the group at Imperia
airport. Madeline took Mackenzie by the hand and held Colton with the other while following behind
Thomas. She said, “Walk straight, will you, Thomas?”
“Mommy, we’re finally back in Imperia. Oh, how I miss the city!” Thomas spun in circles and exclaimed.
Madeline thought it was strange, Thomas and Mackenzie were born in Uranica and stayed there for
five years. However, the kids had no issues adapting to life in Imperia. In fact, they never whined,
demanding to return to Uranica.
This time, they stayed in Uranica for a while, and the two children would talk about how they longed for
Imperia every now and then.
Madeline felt a lot lighter since returning to the city.
“Here, Maddie!” Elise stood at the exit with a big bouquet of flowers.
Madeline looked at the roses before turning her attention to Elise. As Elise kept looking behind
Madeline, Madeline teased, “Are those flowers for me?”
Unable to see the person in mind, Elise gleefully stuffed the flower into Madeline’s arms. “Here you go,
my darling Maddie. I miss you so much! Did you miss me, babies?”
“Auntie Elise, I miss you!” Thomas was such a smooth operator as he ran into Elise’s arms.
Elise cuddled with him and gave him a few kisses, which caused the boy to push the woman away in
disdain. “Ah! Auntie Elise, don’t get your saliva on my face!”
“What did you say, punk?” Elise glared at him.
Thomas quickly switched up his game. “Your kisses are the best. I don’t want to wash my face for a
month!”

“Stop looking. Dylan did not come back. He stayed behind in Uranica.”
Confused, Elisa asked, “Why didn’t he come back? Didn’t Mr. Quincy get better?”
Speaking of which, Madeline was not too pleased. Noah was all better, alright. In fact, his recovery time
was way faster than Madeline. Only, the man was eager to visit the two women in the hospital the
moment his health bounced back.
That was not the only thing. Noah left and never came back. He did not even show his face when
Madeline took off together with the children. Noah also cynically said that he had nothing to worry
about since the Solace brothers had her back.
Since getting onto the plane, Madeline had not received a single text message from the man. It was
fine if he did not want to stay in touch, but these were his children, for God’s sake. She could not
believe that Noah would be so heartless to turn away from his kids.
“He has some things to work out in Uranica and told Dylan to remain there with him.” Madeline did not
want to speak ill of Noah in front of the kids.
Besides, Madeline was furious in the beginning. The flight did take some of the rage off.
Elisa could tell that Madeline possibly had another fight with Noah, so she did not pursue the
conversation.
“Mackenzie? You must be Mackenzie. Oh, my god! You look more adorable in person than on TV. Can
I have a photo with you?”
“Is she Mackenzie? I’m a fan of hers!”
Someone recognized Mackenzie and cried out loud. Fans started to gather around them.
Madeline left Thomas and Colton to Elisa’s care, so the latter could take the children out of there.
Madeline stayed behind to stick by Mackenzie.
Mackenzie took off her sunglasses and was glad to take photos with her fans. She even gave
autographs to asking fans. The fans remained courteous and gentle throughout without shrieking
uncontrollably.
Madeline felt proud of Mackenzie as the girl handled herself professionally and smiled confidently.
The interaction was about to end when suddenly, something stirred among the crowd.
“Ah! It’s Clint! Clint is here!”
“I love you, Clint! I want to have your babies!”
A group of girls started rushing to the back, and the first thing that came to Madeline’s mind was to pick
Mackenzie up and retreat out of the crowd.
Tall among the ladies, Madeline’s gaze towered across the heads and fell on an approaching young
man with a hat and mask. He must be Clint.
The boy’s appearance only excited the fans further.
At this rate, there was bound to be a stampede.
“Mackenzie, hold tightly onto me,” Madeline shouted as she elbowed their way out of there.
Nevertheless, it was easier said than done. Madeline and Mackenzie were stuck in the middle of the
crowd right from the start.
“Mommy, mommy…” Mackenzie clung to Madeline’s neck, shaking in fear.
The girl had met crazy fans in Uranica, but they were nothing like the madness right now. The fans
appeared as though they were going to eat their idol alive.
“Don’t be scared. It’s okay.” Madeline soothed the child, unable to stop herself from being pushed
toward the young idol.
Suddenly, Madeline tripped over someone’s foot and fell. Before she went down, Madeline raised
Mackenzie up and passed her to someone.
“Mommy! Don’t step on my mommy! Don’t step on my mommy!” Unable to take it anymore, Mackenzie
burst out in tears.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust when Madeline was about to hit the floor, a pair of hands caught her by the waist and pulled her
up.
Meanwhile, the airport security came forward to disperse the crowd, parting a pathway in the center.
The hand on her waist let go and took her by the wrist instead, dragging her along to run ahead.
Madeline carried Mackenzie in her arms and stared at a man’s slender back. The shrieks of nearby
fans kept ringing in their ears.
They ran a long way until Madeline’s lungs were filled with cold air. Unable to pick her legs up anymore,
Madeline broke free of the man’s grasp and caressed Mackenzie’s head while gasping for air. She
asked, “Are you okay, Mackenzie?”
Mackenzie nodded her head. Her long lashes were draped with crystal tears. “Are you hurt, Mommy?”
“I’m okay.” Once Madeline was certain that Mackenzie was unharmed, she turned to look at the idol
who pulled her out of there.
Seeing that there was no one around, the guy pulled down his mask and revealed his charming yet
sickly face. Those almond eyes gave off such a smothering look.
“Are you Mackenzie? Hello, I’m a fan of yours.” The young idol put his hand out to Mackenzie.
Mackenzie turned her head away, refusing to give him the time of her day. It appeared Mackenzie put
the blame on him.
It only took a disapproving look from Madeline for Mackenzie to begrudgingly give the young man a
handshake.”
“Thank you for earlier.”
After Madeline expressed her gratitude, the man waved his arm and replied, “I didn’t expect them to go
wild. Thank goodness you are both okay. Otherwise, I’d be totally screwed.
“Are you really Mackenzie’s mom? You look so young.” Raising a brow, the idol stared at Madeline.
He spotted her among the crowd and was blown away by her beauty.
