Chapter 56
It was just a pity she wasn’t very smart.
Angie found pride in scaring the wide-eyed child.
“Why are you still sitting around? Weren’t you going to tell on me? Go on!”
“I’m going…” Thomas puffed up, scrambled to the landline in the kitchen, and patched the call to Noah’s study.
“Daddy, I’m in the kitchen! Save me!”
Thomas played up his misery on the call and yammered on before hanging up the phone.
Angie, meanwhile, was cheerily imagining Noah’s distress should he see her this way.
She could conquer him by tonight as long as she managed to tug at his heartstrings.
It was exciting to think about!
Noah was currently in his study tracking the location of the person who called herself Felix Turner’s daughter.
When the landline rang, it was Wayne who picked up.
It only took seconds for his face to fall.
“Sir, Colton is in trouble!”
Wayne sped down the steps without another word.
Something felt amiss. Noah also got up and went downstairs.
A sight greeted Noah when he got there.
Wayne was by Thomas’ side, the latter of which was on the couch drinking chocolate milk.
Angie, meanwhile, was struggling to get to her feet from the ground.
“Are you hurt, Colton?” Wayne checked the child over.
“What happened?”
Seeing that Thomas was fine, Noah calmed down and asked.
“Sir…” Wayne was about to speak, but Angie interrupted him.
“I was the one at fault, Noah. Colt didn’t mean it. He has a bad temper. I’m used to it…” Angie got to her feet by leaning against the cabinet and listlessly approached Noah.
She played her part of a miserable woman yearning to touch him but fearing his disgust.
Noah stared at her, seemingly a tad irritated.
He didn’t bother with her and took large strides to Thomas’ side.
“Hug, Daddy!” Thomas gestured for Noah to hold him.
His child-like face had visible tear tracks that ran down his cheeks.
Colt cried!
His heart softened. He reached out to hold the little one in his arms.
“What happened, Colt?” Noah held him and whispered warmly.
His gentle and considerate ways had Angie envious!
“Daddy, Auntie Angie… She…”
“Yes?”
There was a moment of hesitation. “She’s scary.”
He looked scared as he spoke. He would sneak glances at Angie and shrink back into Noah’s arms.
“What are you saying, you silly child…? I’m not even blaming you for putting me in this state and you’re saying I’m scary? Y-You’re making me sad…” Angie teared up with every word.
