Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 486

CHAPTER 486 ACQUAINTANCE

Two hours later, Madeline received a call from Albert. Tristan's men were caught, but Tristan had fled.

Madeline helped Mia to the dim basement, where more than a dozen men were kneeling in rows. Each of them had a paper bag covering their head.

Since Tristan did not personally harm Mia, Tristan didn't need to be present for Mia to overcome her trauma.

Mia walked tremblingly toward the captured men, and Mia wanted to remove those paper bags.

Madeline advised, "Don't look."

Mia smiled faintly, "Ms. Madeline, I trust you, but I have to see them with my own eyes."

Madeline nodded, and Madeline signaled to the bodyguard next to her. The bodyguard approached, and the bodyguard removed the paper bags covering the heads of the captured men. Madeline sensed Mia's trembling when Mia saw those faces.

"Ms. Madeline, could you leave for a while?" Mia released Madeline's hand, and Mia stood in place with her back straight.

Madeline nodded, and Madeline spoke to the bodyguards, "Follow Ms. Parker's instructions."

"Got it!" The bodyguards replied firmly.

Madeline looked at Mia with mixed feelings before leaving the basement. However, Madeline did not go far. Instead, Madeline leaned against the door, listening to the situation inside, in case something happened to Mia.

The tall and handsome Noah approached Madeline, and then Noah stood before Madeline.

"Is Lucas alright?" After Madeline received Albert's phone call, Madeline left the residence with Mia. Madeline did not expect Lucas to hide in the trunk stealthily. Lucas only appeared when they arrived at the destination, seeking to deal with those people personally.

Lucas's fierce look scared Mia. Madeline feared that Lucas would leave psychological trauma on Mia, making it harder to repair their relationship. Madeline asked Noah to take Lucas away.

"We have injected Lucas with a sedative, and Lucas is asleep." Noah lit a cigarette. The smoke was not pungent, and its aroma dispelled Noah's and Madeline's worries.

Madeline quickly took the cigarette Noah had only smoked halfway, and Madeline put it in her mouth.

"Looks like I have to quit smoking from now on." Noah shrugged. After Noah finished smoking a cigarette, Noah threw the cigarette butt into the nearby trash bin.

'Are you getting tired of me?" Madeline frowned, seeming to show Noah the bad side of her.

Noah stepped forward, and Noah wrapped his arms around Madeline's waist. Then, Noah lifted Madeline up, and Noah pressed Madeline against his chest, "I like you no matter what you're like."

"You're a smooth talker." Madeline pushed Noah away. A piercing scream came from the basement abruptly. Madeline's smile froze before Madeline could withdraw the smile.

Noah put his hands over Madeline's ears, blocking out the screams from the basement.

Madeline took away Noah's hands, and Madeline shook her head smilingly, "I'm not afraid."

"If nothing scares you, it makes me useless." Noah's goal was apparent, which was to divert Madeline's attention.

However, Madeline was distracted in her thoughts. Madeline thought of the words Rowan mentioned. Rowan said that their parents had vanished from this world all of a sudden.

Would Noah and Madeline disappear one day?

Two months later, would those people force Madeline to open the door to another world? Once the door was open, would Madeline be able to return?

If Madeline left the world as her parents did, then two months would be the last period Madeline spent with everyone in this world.

"Don't worry. I won't let that happen to you. Even if that happens, I will always love you." Noah imagined Madeline thought about how Noah would treat her if similar things happened after hearing those cries from the men in the basement, so Noah reassured Madeline firmly.

Madeline's eyes met Noah's earnest gaze, and Madeline nodded smilingly, "I believe you."

Noah's eyes lit up. These words hit harder than Madeline's casual tone in saying Madeline loved Noah. After Madeline returned to the country, Noah could not mend the relationship with Madeline because Madeline was weary of Noah. Madeline did not believe in Noah's love for her.

At this moment, Madeline said she trusted Noah in person. This meant that Madeline had willingly opened up her heart to Noah.

"My wife, you're not lying to me, right?" Noah picked up Madeline in a hug, and they spun around a few times. The nearby bodyguards on duty immediately faced their backs toward Noah and Madeline.

Madeline patted Noah's shoulder, hinting at Noah to put her down, "Let's talk about us later. For now, the most important thing is to comfort Lucas. I am afraid Lucas might do something extreme."

"Don't worry. I have got it under control." Noah held Lucas, his younger brother, in high regard. Noah even thought of passing the Quinton corporation to Lucas when Noah reconciled with Madeline, and they would travel the world with their kids.

































Noah would not allow anything to happen to Lucas.

Half an hour later, Mia walked out of the basement. Mia had a pale face, and Male was unsteady on her feet.

Madeline quickly approached to support Mia, and Madeline whispered into Mia's ears, "I have already brought the airplane ticket.

Mia was stunned for a moment as if Mia only returned to her senses. Then, Mia nodded blankly.

When Mia was about to board the plane, Mia finally composed herself. Even though Mia would bury her head in a hat tremblingly, Mia was willing to talk now.

Mia tugged Madeline's sleeve and said, "I'm fine. You don't have to accompany me."

Mia was aware that it was a major event. Madeline must be busy.

Madeline sighed lightly, and Madeline said, "It's not only about seeing you off. After returning to the country, I haven't had the chance to explore the outside world. I have been feeling quite exhausted, so I want to take this opportunity to catch a break."

Mia did not ask Madeline about the matters Madeline had to deal with because Mia was aware that she would be overstepping the boundary as a secretary. At the same time, there was no point in Mia being concerned about it.

"Maddie, I'm here!" A stylish woman wearing heels dropped her language when she saw Madeline, and she ran over to hug Madeline.

Madeline was knocked out of balance because of the woman's embrace, "Elise, do you have to act so dramatic?"

The group had yet to reach the tourist spot. However, Elise already put on a tourist outfit. Elise wore a sun hat, sunglasses, exaggerated makeup, and a conspicuous hairstyle, drawing attention in the airport.

Elise flipped her wavy hair back, and Elise said coquettishly, "How do I look? I guess everyone will be staring at me."

Madeline raised her thumb at Elise, and Madeline introduced Elise to Mia, "This is my best friend, Elise. You two should have met before."

"Hey, I know you. Mia, right?" Elise put one of her hands on Mia's shoulder. Then, Elise took out two sunglasses from her bag. Elise handed one of them to Madeline, and Elise put the remaining sunglasses on Mia.

Having her vision dimmed, Mia's nervousness settled down.
