Aggresive Wife Chapter 156
As Thomas’ phone screen unlocked, his conversation with Madeline was the first thing to pop up. Noah quickly glanced through Madeline’s messages.
“Thomas, where’s your Daddy?” the latest message from Madeline read.
Noah gave it all but a moment’s thought before sending Madeline his live location. He waited eagerly for her reply, but there was nothing but silence from her after a few long minutes. Noah put the phone back into Thomas’ pocket and stared at the ceiling in frustration.
Did she really ghost me after asking for my location? Noah wondered in irritation. Does she not care for me, even just a little? How hurtful! As these thoughts began to fill Noah’s mind, the door to the office suddenly flung open. He could recognize those footsteps any day. He quickly shut his eyes, pretending to be asleep as Madeline walked into the office.
Madeline had figured out Noah’s location from the video Thomas had sent her earlier. However, she did not expect to find a sickly Noah lying on the sofa in Andy’s office, with Thomas sleeping by his side. She softened her strides, not wanting to wake either of them up. She wanted to carry Thomas into her arms, but she noticed the little brat grabbing on the Noah’s sleeve like his life depended on it. She could not tear them apart even if she tried, so she quickly abandoned the idea for the time-being.
She crouched down close to Noah, feeling his forehead just like he did for her not too long ago. It felt a little warm, so she decided to grab him a cold towel to bring down his temperature. Just as she turned away, someone grabbed hold of her arm.
“Don’t go,” Noah’s recognizable voice called out.
“You’re awake?” Madeline turned back to look at Noah, but he was still lying there with his eyes closed, unresponsive to her question.
Madeline figured he was having a dream and tried to remove her arm from his grip once again. Noah was unexpectedly strong for a sleeping person, Madeline realized as she struggled to free herself from him.
“Let go of me, you brute! How am I going to grab you a towel like this?” she grunted. She was surprised and confused to find that Noah’s grip had loosened as soon as she said those words. Once again, she tried to leave, but once again, Noah’s hand would tighten around her arm. She was beginning to suspect if Noah was doing this on purpose! She decided to test him.
There was a longstanding myth about people who pretended to be asleep; their eyelashes would quiver uncontrollably. Madeline tried to observe the movement of his eyelashes as she quietly approached his face, holding her breath to avoid stirring him. She was right! His eyelashes were quivering!!
“Noah Quincy, you…. Mmmm!!” Madeline began, but she was quickly cut off by a sudden kiss from Noah as he pulled her into his arms. Madeline was exploding with anger, feeling cheated by Noah’s antics.
“Noah, how dare you…” she scolded, but was once again interrupted by Noah.
“Shhhh, don’t wake the kid up!” he whispered as he placed a finger on her lips.
“I’m glad you know there’s a kid around. How can you act like such a brute in front of children?!” The more Madeline thought about it, the angrier she became. Noah had clearly taken advantage of her!
“You were so close to me, I thought I was dreaming…” Noah explained in earnest.
