Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 258

Aggresive Wife Chapter 258

“Mackenzie, having a brother means that you have one more person to love you. It doesn’t mean Mommy will love you any less.” Madeline didn’t want the three children to be on bad terms because they were jealous of one another.

Mackenzie nodded. “I know. I love Colt. I don’t like that man.”

“Is it because he got angry with you?” Madeline could see how Mackenzie’s opinion of Noah had changed ever since the fire.

Even if she found herself unable to accept him, she’d simply play tricks on him. It wasn’t as if she completely hated him.

“He hurt Mommy. The only person he cares about is the son he raised. He doesn’t want me to hurt Colt. That’s why he was so angry at me.” Her eyes welled with tears as she spoke.

Noah’s expression when she showed up scared and hurt her.

That was the moment she realized that this man was not the person who raised her. He wouldn’t indulge her as Madeline or her godfather would.

He would blame her and yell at her for the sake of the son he raised.

Mackenzie had acted in countless movies as a child actor and was exposed to all sorts of stories that prompted her to make up dramatized scenarios in her head.

Her grudge against Noah only deepened.

“He isn’t like that, Mackenzie. He was just worried. Think about it. We just got out of a sticky situation. He’s afraid of losing us. He got worried when he found out you and Colt had gone missing. That’s why he acted the way he did.”

“It’s his first time meeting me. He’s not going to love me like he loves all of you. He blames me for Colt going missing.” She wiped her tears.

Madeline sighed at her daughter’s stubborn expression and took her into her arms. “You’re staying here for a while. You’ll see just how much he loves you if you talk to him.

Mommy is telling you this now. No matter what happens, no matter how many people I have by my side, you’re one of Mommy’s most important people. I love you.”

“I love you too, Mommy!” Mackenzie gave her a peck on the cheek.

Thomas catapulted himself onto the bed after his shower. “Look, Mommy! I can do cartwheels!”

He then demonstrated it by effortlessly performing somersaults on the bed, surprising Madeline.

“You’re like a monkey, Thomas!” Mackenzie’s sorrow came and went like a passing storm. She burst into laughter.

Noah stood outside the door listening to the joyous laughter reverberating throughout the home. He lifted his hand to knock only to let it drop to his side.

He couldn’t bear to interrupt their happiness.

“Wayne is on the phone, Mr. Noah.” Mr. Charles came up to him with a phone in hand.

Noah hurriedly quieted him with a gesture, then took his phone and moved away from the room.

“Sir, we’ve thrown Joseph’s mother’s belongings into the fire. He took the bait and is now trapped.”

“Good. You’ve worked hard. Rest well.”

“Yes, Mr. Noah.”

Noah hung up the phone and stood by the windows with his eyes glinting coldly. He nearly lost both his wife and children tonight. He would have to settle the score with Joseph.

He hoped the despicable man managed to escape. Dying in a sea of flames was an easy death he did not deserve.

His phone suddenly rang once more.

He even said that if he and Noah didn’t know each other, he would see the Quinton Corporation disappear from Imperia.

What he wasn’t aware of was that the current Quinton Corporation was no longer something not worth its value like in the past.

Under Noah’s management, the corporation expanded. The Old Mr. Solace rarely paid attention to the domestic market and was blind to it all.

If the Solace family went head-to-head against the Quinton Corporation, it would be difficult for the Solace family to return to the domestic market to get a share of the pie.

There was nothing Rowan could use against Noah to get his point across. He had no choice but to threaten Madeline instead.

He also, in secret, hoped to involve Madeline in the matter to reach and understand her.

If his guesses were right, it wouldn’t matter how unhappy the Solace family was with the Quincy family. It wouldn’t affect the cooperation between the two when the truth came to light.

Madeline couldn’t sleep after putting her two children to bed. Her mind was going on overdrive over everything that happened earlier.

That was when she heard the sound of a rumbling engine. It was Noah’s car.

“It’s late. Where are you going?” Madeline gave him a call.

It was four in the morning. Why is he leaving so early after everything that happened the night before? Does he think he’s invincible?

“There’s something I need to do. Don’t worry. Go back to sleep.”

“Rest when you come back, Noah. Don’t tire yourself out.” Madeline could barely keep the worry out of her voice.

Noah’s clouded expression lifted at that. He let out a soft laugh. “I’ll listen to no one but my dearest wife.”
