Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 368

The crystal pendant that Xander gave to Colton looked valuable at first glance. He had been carrying it on him. That meant that he was waiting for the right moment to give it to the child.

Noah scoffed to himself. Was he trying to buy off his son with a mere piece of crystal? He felt looked down upon.

"And, this is?" Xander shot Noah a suspicious look.

Madeline noticed how Noah was sullen, but he seemed to perk up at Xander's question as if he were a peacock that was about to spread its feathers. She shook her head helplessly.

"He's Colt's father." She gave him a brief introduction.

Xander's expression was a bit complicated. His eyes shifted from Madeline to Thomas and Mackenzie. He seemed puzzled by why they were here with Noah.

"I'm Thomas, Mackenzie and Colton's father and Madeline's husband. It's nice to meet you." Noah held out his hand for a handshake.

Xander smiled stiffly as he shook his hand. He could feel the stabbing pain of crushed bone in his hand.

Noah let go before he could even begin furrowing his brows.

He had no choice but to swallow his grievances.

Madeline had only told him about what happened with Trenton. There was no news about her and Noah reconciling, let alone a report that Noah was here in Uranica with the son he stole. It looked like the two of them were living together.

If he hadn't heard from his mother that Madeline and Noah had reconciled and found someone to look into her activities while he was comatose, he would probably be frazzled to see Noah.

He had held onto the tiny sliver of hope that Madeline was with him to enact her revenge or that Noah was toying with her.

Noah's blatant hostility and how the two of them got along with one another fizzled out that hope.

Madeline was with Noah for real.

It left him unhappy. His relationship with Madeline had improved in the past two years. If he had tried harder, she might've gotten together with him. The accident had thrown a wrench in his plans and allowed Noah to slip in.

"Mr. Quinn, was it? Thank you for taking care of my wife throughout the years. I've prepared a generous gift for you that Madam Emelia should've received. She's a woman of great sensibilities to have raised a talent like you."

Noah's compliments were backhanded.

Madeline couldn't bear to watch them any further and wheeled Xander back into the ward to whisper into his ear. "Don't mind him. He's being weird."

The intimate tone made the pit in his stomach sink.

"I don't understand why you…" Xander continued to feign confusion as he looked at Noah and Madeline.

He made it look as if both he and Madeline were trading secrets only the two of them knew.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you once you're better." She patted his arm and comforted him.

He nodded. "So, you're remarried now?"
