Aggresive Wife Chapter 132
“Mommy said I’m the oldest.” Unfazed, Colton gave concrete evidence.
Thomas sulked.
“Why haven’t I heard Mommy talk about it before? It doesn’t count since I heard nothing of that sort. I came to your rescue. My awesomeness proves that I’m the older brother.”
“You can refute all you want, lil’ brother, but there are certain things that can’t be changed in life,” Colton patiently explained.
“I don’t care. You’re the younger brother!”
“We’re in desperate times right now. Why don’t we figure a way out of there, and leave this question to Mommy when we get out?” It was not the time and place to argue about this with Thomas. What if his abductor returned? It would put Thomas at risk too. Hence, Colton proposed an idea.
Colton initially planned to wait for the adults to arrive. Now that Thomas was here, the boy would not leave if he did not go along with him.
It was there and then that Colton decided to go on an adventure with his chatterbox brother.
“Deal!” Thomas readily agreed to the suggestion.
Thomas believed it was not wise to debate the issue right now. Although Thomas was the older brother for sure, it was best to leave the subject alone for now since Colton was injured and abducted.
He started to plan with Colton for their escape.
Thankfully, Thomas did not come unprepared.
Thomas proudly pulled out a foldable skateboard from his backpack.
He skillfully unfolded the skateboard and fastened a rope to one end of the board.
“Come on, Lil’ Brother. I’ll pull you.
“Mommy should be here any minute since she noticed us missing. We can just look for a good hiding spot. I saw a small cave not too far from here on my way here…”
Thomas gleefully showed off his gear to Colton, practically asking to be praised.
“You’re smart, Thomas.” Colton played along as Thomas gave him a look of anticipation.
“Of course. I got Mommy’s brains!”
Thomas smugly gave himself the pat on the back.
That was Colton’s cue to stop with the compliment. He quietly moved his tiny frame and sat on Thomas’ self-invented skateboard.
“Let’s go. The door isn’t locked.”
“Why didn’t you say so in the beginning when you knew the door was unlocked?” Thomas dejectedly asked.
It took quite an effort to climb through the window. Thomas was covered in dirt now.
That was mean of Colt!
“You didn’t ask.”
“I…” That was true. Thomas never did pop the question.
Thomas shut his mouth. Never mind. Thomas was willing to overlook it, seeing that his little brother was injured.
“Lil’ brother, one of my hands is fine. Can you find me a stick? I can lighten the load of you having to drag me.”
Thomas was infuriated as Colton reflected on the viability of his proposition.
While Thomas had a rounder physique, both boys shared around the same weight. It was impossible for Thomas to pull the weight on the skateboard, especially on the rutted dirt road outside the cabin.
They had a chance to reach the cave mentioned by Thomas if they both worked together.
“I’m the older brother!”
“So, about the stick…” Colton came to the conclusion that the plan would work. All that mattered now was getting the tool he needed.
Thomas did not have the heart to dispute further since Colton looked like a lost puppy dog. He helplessly sighed and started rummaging around the cabin.
It was not a tough job considering that there was a lot of firewood in the cabin.
“Alright. I’ll find one for you. I’m the older brother after all. Here you go.”
