Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29

While dwelling on her emotions, Madeline picked her head up and realized the little guy was awake. She put the laptop aside and drew close.

“You’re up, Colt. Do you want some milk?” Raising the half-full chocolate milk in hand, Madeline tried to drive a hard sell.

Colton was on the mend and could take solids now, but Madeline did not have the faintest of his food preferences. She had to push him to eat and make guesswork through observation of his food intake.

It was challenging, to say the least.

Colton merely glanced at the drink in her hand before turning his head away with his eyes closed.

It was a blatant look of disdain.

“How about I heat you a nice glass of low-fat milk?”

Opening his eyes, the little man turned to her and gave a nod.

Aha. It appeared the little guy was not into kids’ stuff. Madeline seemed to have stumbled upon a breakthrough.

She immediately heated up a glass of milk and returned to the room to give it to Colt.

After drinking the milk, Colt stared at Madeline with something on his mind. Still, he buttoned his lip and appeared rather strained from keeping it all in.

Try as Madeline may in getting a word out of him, he refused to speak. All he did was fixate on Madeline’s phone.

Noticing his gaze, Madeline unlocked her phone and put it in his hand to find out what her darling son wanted to say once and for all.

Colton’s eyes shifted from Madeline to the phone. Finding himself in the mood, he tapped nimbly on the screen before returning the phone to Madeline.

Madeline took the phone, thinking he had typed something on it. However, the page left on the screen nearly saw her jaw drop.

Colt had tapped into yesterday’s interface for the stock exchange. The four hundred million dollars Madeline had invested in shares yesterday had tripled in value.

1.2 billion dollars?

Since Madeline had braced herself to lose the four hundred million dollars, she did not bother to look when Albert bought the shares.

Yet now, she made a killing overnight.

Madeline was hot with emotions. Was her darling son the next king of Wall Street?

Jesus Christ. There could not be better news!

“Colt, can you read stock prices? How did you know the shares would go up?”

Unable to contain her excitement, Madeline grabbed Colton by the hand and asked.

Alas, young Colton might allow the handholding and express smug, but he refused to let out a peep.

Although he avoided Madeline’s questions by faking sleep, his tight grip on Madeline’s hand reflected his honest feelings.

Having spent some time with Colton, Madeline got a grasp of the child’s character. There was no prying information from him when he did not want to speak.

Nevertheless, Madeline believed her son would one day let her into his heart and tell her everything so long as she stayed by his side.

Albert made a hasty entrance and called Madeline out of the ward.

“Ms. Grant, the Grants have run into a funding disruption as you expected.”

“Well, the day has finally come.

“Where’s Angie now?”

“In the hospital.”

“Let’s go and congratulate her.”
