Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 468

Chapter 468 Granny

"Move, Zeke!" Madeline's wire wasn't going to last long. She had to get Mackenzie out of the car now.

He thought Madeline would understand what he was trying to do.

"You said it yourself that I'm not allowed to put myself in harm's way to lure the enemy out of hiding. And here you are refusing to lead by example. You should stop tossing empty words at me in the future," she grunted and quickened her pace to approach Wayne's car.

She opened the car door and froze.

Noah was engrossed by the fact that his wife had worried for him. She had failed to see his true intentions in her worry or perhaps she knew and her instincts kicked in to save him.

The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. Seeing that she suddenly stopped, he felt tense. He pulled her into his arms in a protective gesture, and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Are you injured?"

She was giving him quite the scare. They were still out in the open while the enemy remained in the shadows. He had little to guess when they would strike.

He also froze when he followed her line of sight.

"Are you alright, Noah?" Karen Pope leaned out to take the man's hand. Sadie was right next to her shooting him excited looks.

Noah didn't avoid her touch but was giving her a complicated gaze before he turned back to Madeline.

Madeline refused to spare a glance at Karen and Sadie. Both she and Noah now shared a look.

"Who are they, Daddy?" Mackenzie could tell how her mother was now unhappy.

She hated anyone who made her mother unhappy.

"This is my wife, Madeline and this is my daughter, Mackenzie. These two are…old friends that we saved back in Uranica," Noah uncomfortably introduced them.

Karen scanned Madeline from head to toe arrogantly and contemptuously, leaving their subject of scrutiny uncomfortable.

She was looking at her like a mere ant after sizing her up.

Sadie was not as calm as her godmother. She was now experiencing a crisis after meeting Madeline. She had heard how the woman had given birth to three children and expected her to look like a middle-aged woman no matter how well-maintained she was..

Madeline looked to be in her early twenties. She resembled a girl with the mature charms of a grown woman. Her beauty made her stand out from the crowd.

It was no wonder Noah missed her so much while she was gone for five years.

But who cares? No matter how beautiful she is, he's going to get bored of her at some point. How could she compare to a fresh face?

Sadie gathered her wits and put on airs as she stared at her rival in love.

Madeline didn't pay them any attention. All she focused on was how Karen still had his hand while he eagerly introduced the mother-daughter duo and seemed expectant to receive her affirmation.

Ice filled her heart.

"Why are they in your car?" Mackenzie hated how they looked at her mother and stood in front of Madeline to protect her. A child, however, had her limits.

She had no choice but to call for her father.

"Oh, you're Mackenzie, aren't you? You're so cute!" Karen tried to hug the girl.

Mackenzie avoided her outstretched hand and was shooting her hostile looks.

Karen awkwardly backed off. "You have nothing to be scared of, child. Granny isn't a bad person. Look, I have a present for you. Why don't you try calling me Granny?"

Mackenzie glanced disdainfully at the gold locket and said, "I don't know you."

Thinking of what Karen had said, Noah sighed. "Be a good girl, Mackenzie. Call her Granny."

His daughter frowned up at him. He had never forced her into doing anything she refused to do. Back in Uranica, no matter what kind of high-class party Madeline brought her to, and how distinguished the status of the people at the banquet, Madeline would never dream to press her into conversing with them if she refused.

Madeline respected her children's decisions. There was always an underlying reason why she would refuse to hold a conversation with someone.

Yet, her father was making her refer to the hateful old hag as her "Granny". The thought greatly upset her.

Madeline looked to be in her early twenties. She resembled a girl with the mature charms of a grown woman. Her beauty made her stand out from the crowd.
