Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 382

"Can't you tell us why?" Colton looked at Noah, and his eyes were full of puzzlement.

Noah did not want the children to be involved in this matter, but when he met Colton's eyes, he suddenly understood that the child he had raised himself was already mature enough to help him share his worries.

"Daddy, we're a family. Is there anything you can't say to us? Mommy will be very sad if you continue like this." Colton helplessly sighed when Noah did not speak.

Adults always thought he, Thomas, and Mackenzie were children, so they kept everything from the three of them, but it was clear children saw more clearly than adults.

Just like now, Colton felt that as long as Noah explained to Madeline clearly why he did not rush back to rescue them in time yesterday, Madeline would forgive Noah, but Noah did not explain. That was why Madeline was angry.

Noah glanced at Xander's ward, then saw Mackenzie and Thomas entering the room. He turned to look at Colton again and felt uncomfortable no matter what.

"I arranged for people to protect you all yesterday, but they betrayed me. When I fought with the people from Trenton, I met a woman who looked like your grandma, so I chased her..."

"Grandma? Is it your biological mother?" Colton was stunned. He had never heard Noah mention that he had a grandma.

Isn't Grandpa the only elder in the family?

"Yes, she left the Quincy family when I was four. Grandpa ordered everyone in the Quincy family not to mention her name, so you don't know her." If Noah did not have a photo of his parents together, he would forget what his mother looked like.

When he saw that woman yesterday, he was shocked and wanted to find out the cause of his father's death and why his mother left the Quincy family. But he did not expect that she had gotten shot to save him and almost died.

He sent her to the hospital and rushed back to the villa after she was out of danger, but it was still too late to save Madeline and the children.

"Can't Mommy know about this?" Colton did not understand. He thought this reason was enough for Madeline to forgive Noah. After all, Madeline was so kind. When he thought so, he completely underestimated the importance of the three of them in Madeline's heart.

"To your mommy, you all are important. No matter what reasons I give, she won't forgive me easily. This matter involves a lot, and it's better not to involve her. You have to keep it a secret temporarily, okay?"

If Noah had not been depressed in his heart, and Colton could keep secrets since he was a child, Noah would not have told him the truth.

"You must confess your mistake to Mommy and ask Mommy to forgive you sooner." Colton saw Noah's distressed expression and believed that letting Madeline know about the truth would not be good for her, so he would help Noah keep the secret.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you all." Noah patted Colton's head. "Go in and take good care of Mommy for me."

"Daddy, please settle Grandma's matter as soon as possible. After that, let's go back to Imperia." Colton stood up and walked toward the ward while talking.

When he walked to the door, he turned to see Noah still sitting on the small chair. His tall figure was slightly bent, and Noah looked desolated and pitiful.

"Colt, what are you looking at?" Thomas approached Colton while biting an apple.

Colton glanced into the ward and saw that Mackenzie had climbed onto the bed to massage Xander, and Madeline was talking to Xander and smiling. He felt more and more pitiful for Noah.
