Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196

Madeline navigated through the crowd with her phone in hand. However, it felt as though she had not moved from her location. She was not getting any closer to Noah.

While feeling frustrated, she bumped into a wall of muscles.

With her hand over her sore forehead, Madeline picked her head up.

She was dumbstruck.

It was Joseph.

He wore a casual white blazer paired with a deep V-neck silk shirt.

The combination of sultry and grace came together nicely with Joseph.

Madeline believed the guy made quite the eye candy so long as he did not speak.

Alas, the hottie would have been a total package if it were not for his snide remarks.

“Fancy running into you here, Maddie. You’re all dressed up. Are you here to see me?”

“You must be dreaming.” Madeline offhandedly commented. She then walked past him.

Joseph reached out and grabbed her by the arm as she brushed past him.

“Maddie, don’t be in a hurry to leave. I know you’re here for Noah. Why don’t I take you to him?”

With Madeline putting up a fight, Joseph patiently cut the distance between them and whispered in her ear.

Madeline was confused that he saw through her intentions.

“Oh? I didn’t know that you have the habit of keeping tabs on others, Jo.”

“Likewise, Maddie.”

“Why do you know Noah is here? Did you invite him here?”

It suddenly came to Madeline as she was staring at Joseph.

There was someone Joseph had to see even when his house was on fire. It made sense if the person was Noah.

“Do you know, Maddie? I love that you catch on quickly. Come on. I’ll take you to him.” Joseph took Maddie’s hand to move along, but the latter shook his arm away.

“Let go. I’m fine to walk on my own.”

“Alright. You’re the boss, Maddie.” No longer insisting, Joseph led the way together with Fred.

The stairwell to the second floor was rather hidden. Madeline would not have noticed without Joseph showing the way.

No wonder she ended up going round in circles.

She was not on the right floor.

With Madeline keeping up in the back, Joseph smiled in delight and took strides upstairs.

Madeline observed the GPS location on her phone to make sure she was in the right direction before following behind.

Once on the second floor, the horseplay of women echoed along the hallway.

“Are you only taking a sip, Mr. Quincy? I’m sure you can have more for little old me.”

“Mr. Quincy…”

The voices revealed that Noah was here, and it sounded like they were coming from a nearby room with the door left ajar.

Joseph paused for a moment as if to check Madeline’s reaction.

“Gee, is this the man who you would give your life to? Tsk, tsk. He has a way with women, doesn’t he?”

Joseph grinned smugly. It was clear that he was trying to make her a fool.

Madeline was no saint. Of course, she was upset by the presence of these women.

She was annoyed.

However, Madeline believed Noah was not that kind of guy.

She was conflicted, to say the least.

“Are you upset, Maddie? Come on. I’ll take you to teach that b*stard a lesson.”

Since Madeline wore her heart on her sleeve, Joseph picked up on her emotions.

He took her hand and dragged her to the entrance of the room.
