chapter 51
“Of course!” Noah agreed without hesitation. As he carried Thomas to the car, he asked, “What’re you going to do with all the money, Colt?
“I want to buy a house for Mommy!” Thomas cheered.
“Mommy? Are you referring to Angie?” Noah frowned.
“Angie is not my mommy. My mommy is so much prettier than her! When I visited Grandpa’s house, I saw that Mommy did not even have a room. So, I’m going to buy a house just for her!” Thomas explained.
Noah embraced the boy in a loving hug. He did not hide facts about his mother on purpose; he assumed Thomas did not care because he never inquired. Little did he know that the boy was concerned about the matter. His mother was Madeline, not Angie!
“Okay! Daddy will give Colt all the money so that Colt can buy a big house for Mommy!” Noah said warmly, tightening his embrace. He thought to himself, Colt must be really happy if he knows that his mommy is still alive. Maybe miracles can happen…
“Thank you, Daddy!” Thomas reluctantly planted a kiss on Noah’s cheek as a reward.
“Did you say that you went to Grandpa’s house, Colt?” Noah asked.
“Yeah, I was on my way to look for you. When I reached the office building, I met Grandpa and he said that he will treat me to ice cream…” Thomas said innocently as he reached out for the bottle of hot delicious chocolate milk in the car. He did not mind that he had betrayed Bruno.
Noah’s face darkened when he heard that Bruno was the kidnapper. He thought, how dare you, Bruno Grant?
Meanwhile, Madeline had spent the entire day at home nursing her injured arm and a high fever. She did not know if the medications were to blame for her fatigue, but she spent the majority of her time sleeping.
It had been a long time since she had slept so peacefully and without nightmares. As she felt rejuvenated when she woke up, she decided to visit Colton.
When Madeline went downstairs, she ran into Albert, who was holding documents.
“You are awake, Ms. Madeline! What a coincidence, we are finally seeing some results!” Albert informed.
“Really?” Madeline asked in delight. She walked over to the sofa and sat down, flipping through the documents Albert had handed her.
“Bruno Grant has been sending us a dozen emails for the past two days. He’s requesting Timton Corporation to invest in Grant Corporation to save the company,” Albert explained.
“Are you so happy because Bruno has agreed to our conditions?” Madeline guessed.
“That’s right! Bruno called about ten minutes ago. He said that he’s willing to issue thirty percent of Grant Corporation’s shares to us. You are going to be the company’s biggest shareholder in no time, Ms. Madeline!” Albert cheered.
