Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 152

Aggresive Wife Chapter 152

At the corner of a long table in the dining hall, Dr. Dylan Felch was admiring an extremely rare celadon vase Andy had brought over. The colors of the vase were striking, and the details exquisite. As an avid antique collector, Dr. Dylan was completely mesmerized, unable to take his eyes off the vase.

“Andy, this is an absolute beauty!” Dr. Dylan exclaimed in awe. “Look at the glazing, and the workmanship!”

“Dr. Felch, it’s yours if you like it. We’re both men of science after all, and we work for the same boss. I’ll have plenty of favors to ask from you in the future,” Andy was straight to the point.

Although Dylan was indeed captivated by the vase, he was not one to easily make friends or promise favors. However, Andy’s words did remind him that they do in fact work for the same people. He was old buddies with Noah, Andy worked for Madeline, and Noah and Madeline were practically family! Hmm, there was no harm in accepting a gift like that, was there?

“You’re too polite, Andy! As you said, we’re practically family! I’ll accept this vase as a token of your friendship. Please feel free to visit my lab whenever you can!” Dylan said.

“Sure thing!” Andy smiled back. “Any friend of Madeline is a friend of mine! Please come and visit me at my hospital any time, buddy!”

“Of course, of course!” Dylan replied cheerfully as he put the vase back into its casing. The two doctors then began engaging in conversation about current medical issues and advances. However, as they were chatting, Dylan felt an ominous chill down his spine, as if someone was observing him from behind. As he turned his head around, he came right into contact with Elise Lambert’s face, giving him the fright of his life!

“You… what sorcery is this?!” Dylan clasped his hand to his heart.

“Oh, just a little mugwort and salt,” Elise played along. She planted one leg on the chair next to him, like Napoleon the conqueror.

“Oh? Can I call for help then?” Dylan teased the pretty lady now that his shock had subsided.

“Sure, but I’m not sure if anyone would come to your rescue even if you shout at the top of your lungs…” Elise told him.

“Mr. Quincy, save me!” Dylan feigned a terrified expression as he yelled for Noah as loud as he could, causing a scene at the restaurant. He even paused to take a sip of water before continuing the ruckus. Obviously, Noah Quincy was not around to rescue him.

“Hmm, it seems like there’s no one coming to save me,” Dylan finally relented after a while. “I suppose I’m your prisoner now. May I know where are you taking me? I’ll have you know I may not look like it, but my body is too weak to travel long distances…” Dylan tried another trick.

“Wa ha ha ha! Maddie, you were right! This guy is such a weirdo, I love it!” Elise laughed raucously as she assessed the man in front of her. She then stepped aside to reveal Madeline Grant standing behind her. Dylan was rather pleased with himself for being able to make the pretty lady laugh.

“Maddie, I was right! He’s definitely not the person wearing the pants in a relationship!” Elise commented, still breathless from laughing too hard. Her voice was not loud, but loud enough for Dylan to overhear. The color drained from his face as he considered Elise’s impression of him.

Madeline was flustered too as she had not seen this coming. Madeline sighed to herself as she scanned the room for Noah and spotted him entering the dining hall from the patio, his expression dark and stormy. Elise never knew when to keep her mouth shut!

“Elise, I just remembered I left my phone in the restroom!” Madeline told Elise, coming up with any excuse she could use to escape.
