Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55

In the Maple Forest Villa.

Madeline sat at the bar in the living room. She scrutinized the gilded invitation card in her hand with mixed feelings.

My children’s birthday.

It was also the darkest day of her life.

She vaguely recalled the storm that day. Noah didn’t hear a word out of her as the rain came crashing down.

Angie Grant took precedence. He believed no one but her.

He was resolute in leaving her and the unborn children, condemning them to death.

Turbulent emotions rushed over her. She crumpled the invitation in her hand, failing to notice that her knuckles had gone white.

The invitation had long since been scrunched up.

Her cell phone lit up when a notification came through. She was instantly grounded back to reality from her whirlwind of emotions.

Thomas’s chat box popped up.

She was greeted with a photo of a pitiful Angie, carefully tugging at Noah.

It turned out Noah had brought the delicate little princess home. He must be distressed to see her ridiculed.

Yet, he never cared for Madeline or her children.

Yes, their survival was because they had luck on their side.

What were you expecting, Madeline?

Having figured this out, Madeline heaved a long sigh of relief.

It was consolation twinged with disappointment.

She scrunched the invitation into a ball and tossed it aside, then got up and sat down on the sofa. Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she composed a text.

“Be careful in the Quincy household, brat. Stay away from Angie. Got it?”

“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m not letting that bad woman near me.”

“Good boy.”

Something seemed off. Thomas seemed too obedient today. It felt surreal to see as his parent figure.

She felt uneasy and sent another text over.

“How are you planning to deal with her?”

“Hehe, secret!”

Thomas unsent the message.

Madeline was taken aback.

She just knew he wouldn’t be that obedient!

Madeline massaged her crown and sent another message, but Thomas decided to adopt the practice of not replying after reading the message.

Her worry made her pack up her laptop and rush out the door as soon as she could.

……

Quincy residence.

Thomas switched his smartwatch to silent in his panic when he noticed the error of sending Madeline that text, and stuffed it neatly into his small pocket.

He then recited a mantra to himself. Mom didn’t notice. Mom didn’t notice…

He checked his phone again after a while and breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed Madeline hadn’t sent him any messages.

False alarm. Mom didn’t find out!

He was relieved. He then took his binoculars to check the yard.

The only people left in the yard were the bodyguards on duty. Everyone must be inside by now.

He should head downstairs to take a look.
