Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 313

"Lex Remington," the man answered truthfully. He noticed the murderous intent in the person in black after all.

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Tiberos too. I recognize him. He's Noah Quincy, the big boss of the Quinton Corporation," Lex said while pointing at Noah.

The person in black and the doctor exchanged glances, as though evaluating Lex's trustworthiness.

"Why are you together with him?" the person in black asked.

Meanwhile, the vehicle drove out of the castle perimeter and parked next to a skyscraper. However, no one in the car moved because they were waiting for Lex's answer.

"I blew up the lab. He saved me." Lex briefly described what happened.

The person in black slapped Lex's shoulder. "You blew up that thingamajig? Wow, looks like we'll have to bring you home at all costs!"

The doctor looked at Lex with some appreciation and deftly dressed his wounds.

The group went into the skyscraper, went up to the rooftop, and boarded a helicopter.

Back at Maple Forest Villa, Madeline was sitting on the sofa. One of her hands was absentmindedly knocking her head, while the other was fiddling with her phone.

Two days ago, Madeline sent Noah a divorce agreement, but Noah did not reply to her.

That was not like him at all.

He should have rushed back to the villa angrily and interrogated her about what that was all about.

He's with another woman after all…

Madeline felt a stabbing pain in her chest. She rubbed it gently and continued to ponder.

No, that can't be it. Even if Noah has already fallen in love with someone else, he shouldn't be ignoring me. Wouldn't he want to get the paperwork done so that he can marry Natalia as soon as possible?

Or did Natalia not want to marry him because she's too focused on her research?

Madeline could not come up with a conclusion. She felt a pang of self-loathing when she saw the three calls in her call record that she made but Noah did not pick up.

I remember I used to be more decisive. Men.

Madeline abruptly stood up, changed into a clean set of clothes, and went to the Quincy residence.

She wanted to bring the children back home.

It was perhaps best to send the children abroad so Noah could not fight for their custody when the inevitable happened.

It did not matter who Noah wanted to marry. As long as Madeline did not agree to the divorce, Noah would not be able to marry again. She was going to use that to threaten him to give up custody of the children.

However, she knew Nooh's obilities, ond it would not be thot eosy for her plon to come true.

She hod to moke preporotions eorly.

It wos holf post seven in the evening when Modeline orrived ot the Quincy residence. On other doys, Nooh would be lozing oround in Mople Forest Villo, ond they would hove dinner together.

"Whot om I thinking?" Modeline potted her foce before ringing the doorbell.

Nooh told her thot she ond the children did not need to ring the doorbell whenever they visited. They could use the fingerprint lock by themselves ond go inside.

She did not wont to do thot. Thot would moke it seem they were still close.

The butler opened the door. The smile on his foce froze for o split second when he sow Modeline.

Modeline roised her eyebrows slightly. "I'm here to pick up the kids."

"Modom, the children ore occomponying Mr. Nooh inside the house." The butler stood in front of the door. He did not wont to let Modeline in.

Modeline did not give the butler ony trouble. She returned to her cor ond gove Mockenzie o coll.

Meonwhile, Thomos, Mockenzie, ond Colt were stonding outside Nooh's bedroom. Their foces were frought with worry.

Eorlier, they were shocked when they sow Woyne ond Dylon bring Nooh, bundled in bondoges, into the residence ond into his bedroom.

Nooh sternly worned everyone not to tell Modeline whot hoppened to him. Thot wos when the children come to their senses.

At thot moment, Dylon wos chonging Nooh's bondoges. He told the children they could visit their fother once he wos done.

"Whot hoppened to Doddy?" Thomos tugged the hem of Woyne's shirt ond osked. His eyes were filled with teors.

Woyne potted his heod ond onswered, "Your Doddy got hurt o little, ond he doesn't wont Mommy to know. Thot's why he's bock home insteod of stoying ot Uncle Dylon's."

There wos o more importont reoson for the orrongement. Dylon hod discovered thot the virus in Nooh's body would offect Modeline's illness. Thot wos why Nooh did not wont to stoy ot Golden Dome Internotionol.

If Modeline needed treotment ot Golden Dome Internotionol somedoy in the future, his presence would offect her heolth negotively.

Dylon hod told him the virus might remoin in his body for the rest of his life. It wos hord to remove.

However, she knew Noah's abilities, and it would not be that easy for her plan to come true.

She had to make preparations early.

It was half past seven in the evening when Madeline arrived at the Quincy residence. On other days, Noah would be lazing around in Maple Forest Villa, and they would have dinner together.

"What am I thinking?" Madeline patted her face before ringing the doorbell.

Noah told her that she and the children did not need to ring the doorbell whenever they visited. They could use the fingerprint lock by themselves and go inside.

She did not want to do that. That would make it seem they were still close.

The butler opened the door. The smile on his face froze for a split second when he saw Madeline.

Madeline raised her eyebrows slightly. "I'm here to pick up the kids."

"Madam, the children are accompanying Mr. Noah inside the house." The butler stood in front of the door. He did not want to let Madeline in.

Madeline did not give the butler any trouble. She returned to her car and gave Mackenzie a call.

Meanwhile, Thomas, Mackenzie, and Colt were standing outside Noah's bedroom. Their faces were fraught with worry.

Earlier, they were shocked when they saw Wayne and Dylan bring Noah, bundled in bandages, into the residence and into his bedroom.

Noah sternly warned everyone not to tell Madeline what happened to him. That was when the children came to their senses.

At that moment, Dylan was changing Noah's bandages. He told the children they could visit their father once he was done.

"What happened to Daddy?" Thomas tugged the hem of Wayne's shirt and asked. His eyes were filled with tears.

Wayne patted his head and answered, "Your Daddy got hurt a little, and he doesn't want Mommy to know. That's why he's back home instead of staying at Uncle Dylan's."

There was a more important reason for the arrangement. Dylan had discovered that the virus in Noah's body would affect Madeline's illness. That was why Noah did not want to stay at Golden Dome International.

If Madeline needed treatment at Golden Dome International someday in the future, his presence would affect her health negatively.

Dylan had told him the virus might remain in his body for the rest of his life. It was hard to remove.

"Remember, don't tell your Mommy that Mr. Noah is hurt. Can you promise me that?" Wayne reminded the three children again and again.

Thomas and Colt nodded and agreed, even though they did not know what was going on.

Mackenzie looked at the closed door of Noah's bedroom worriedly. She knew Noah was hurt because he went to steal the antidote for her mother.

"It's getting late. You should go and eat your dinner now. After you sleep and wake up, you'll be able to meet your Daddy." Wayne could tell that the children were worried about their father, and he felt sorry for them.

He led the children to the dining hall, but they looked at each other and did not touch their cutlery.

Mackenzie followed Wayne when he stepped out to answer a phone call. After the call ended, she carefully tugged his pants leg. "How is Daddy's condition? Is he going to die?"

Wayne knew that Mackenzie's relationship with Noah was not as close as the two other boys to him, and he wanted to give the little girl a better impression of his father.

"Mr. Noah is seriously injured. He's lucky enough to be still alive. But don't worry, Dr. Dylan will make sure he's well."

"I'd like to accompany him tonight." Mackenzie's eyes were opened wide, as though she might burst into tears if Wayne did not agree to it.

Wayne had no choice but to let her do that.

He imagined Noah would want Mackenzie to accompany him.

When Mackenzie returned to the dining hall, Thomas had just picked up a call from Madeline. He was feeling guilty about not picking up the five calls earlier.

"Mommy, I was just…" Thomas had just opened his mouth when Wayne shot a glance at him, reminding him not to give away anything.

Thomas gritted his teeth and lied to his mother, "I was just playing in Colt's room earlier, and I didn't hear my phone ring."

Thomas' phone was linked to his smartwatch. It was impossible he did not know his phone was ringing.

Madeline did not call him out on the lie. Instead, she said, "In twenty minutes, I want you to sneak Colt and Mackenzie out of the villa."

"Wh… Why?" Thomas could tell that his mother wanted to take him and his siblings away from the villa, but what about their father, still lying unconscious on his bed?

"I'm taking you all back to Uranica." Madeline did not hide her plan from her children because she knew she could not hide it from them.
