Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Tallying Wealth, Chat Later

“Mother dearest, has my most beloved brother fallen asleep?”

“He’s awake.”

“What… What are you doing then? Is he that cute?”

“We’re tallying our wealth. Chat later.”

“…”

I see how it is. You’re a mother-son pair huddling together, and I’m stuck here with the scumbag. I’m an unwanted child! What a sad life!

Thomas dramatized his situation!

He pretended to cry, and just when he was about to send a voice message to his mother, a voice called out, startling him. “What are you doing, Colt?”

The quilt was haphazardly thrown off of him before he could collect himself.

He swiftly hid his phone under his pillow and turned to face Angie, who flashed him a false smile.

Oh, this pretty lady looks ugly with her plastic grin.

Thomas didn’t answer. He instead tugged at his quilt and inched back.

Angie imagined that Colton knew of her involvement when he was thrown off a cliff when she met his frightened stare. Her gentle facade faded at the thought.

“Cat got your tongue, brat? Are you mute?” Angie had closed the door behind her when she entered. Only the two of them were here so there was no need for her to play pretend.

Thomas usually fooled around quite a bit, but this was his first time meeting such a harsh woman.

He also didn’t want to speak to her.

Of course, he was mainly afraid of revealing his secrets and being discovered.

So, Thomas decided to talk less and allow Angie to state her purpose before thinking of a countermeasure.

“Speak. Do you think I can’t do anything about you just because you don’t say anything? Let me warn you. Keep spouting nonsense and smearing my name, and I will have you thrown into the reservoir as fish food. You can forget about ever coming back!”

Angie leaned close to Thomas as she threatened him by grabbing him by his fragile shoulders. She didn’t even know that Noah had begun to suspect her!

Thomas was indeed startled by her fiendish rage, but, as a mini scourge himself, what hadn’t he seen?

“Sorry, Auntie Angie. I wasn’t paying attention to what you were saying. You want to take me fishing at the reservoir?” Thomas looked innocently at Angie to deliberately annoy her.

“Don’t cross me, Colton! Be good and keep your little mouth shut. I won’t let you off the hook if you ruin my engagement with your father!”

Thomas was a master at spotting wh*res. He knew at a glance that she was a vicious stepmother just from the fierce expression on her face!

My brother must’ve been bullied day in and day out.

Colton knows something about this woman. That’s why she came here to threaten me!

Thomas felt hurt when he considered his little brother’s pitiful appearance as he lay in the hospital bed. He blamed himself terribly. He had the privilege of receiving his mother’s love, but his little brother was left to suffer in the Quincy household. What is there to envy?!

I shouldn’t be envious of him. What I need to do now is to avenge him!

He, of course, took notice of her grim expression and calmly agreed. “Okay, Auntie Angie. Take it easy. It’s not like I won’t agree.”

Angie suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

The brat had always been at odds with her, but now he was being nice?

“What?”

“Yeah, Don’t worry. I won’t stop you from marrying Daddy.” Thomas clung to his quilt and smiled innocently.

“Really? You’ve become a good boy, Colt. I’ll be nice if you don’t say anything you’re not supposed to!” She felt flattered.
