Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63

“So, since you no longer like it, I’ll take advantage of the opportunity to profit from it. Do you have anything to say about it, Maddie?”

“Up to you.”

“I’ll go back first. I won’t be trying on the dress. My arm hurts. Just pack it up, and I’ll take it with me.”

“No worries!” Elise said as she went to get the dress she had prepared earlier.

The other outfit was something Madeline had ordered for Thomas, while the long dress was hers.

Madeline opened it and looked inside. She had always been pleased with Elise’s designs.

However, when she put it away, she only took the adult one.

“Please deliver this kid-sized outfit to Noah for me and tell him it’s my birthday present for Colton Quincy.”

“Okay. I’ll see to it that the task is completed!”

Albert’s car had already arrived at the entrance when Madeline instructed Elise.

Elise escorted Madeline to the vehicle and went back inside after watching the vehicle leave.

“Is she gone?”

“Oh, Mr. Quincy! You came up behind me like this and scared the crap out of me!” Elise clutched her chest, feeling guilty and terrified. Even her face had turned pale.

She hadn’t expected Noah to come to her.

Furthermore, he had made it clear that he already knew Madeline’s true identity.

Madeline had arrived before she could question him. Then, Noah asked her to hide him!

This sequence of events had left her perplexed.

“You have yet to respond to my question. What is the cause of Madeline and Angie’s enmity?” Instead of responding to her overblown emotions, Noah posed his own query to her.

“What qualms can exist between them both? It’s nothing more than a deep resentment for having your husband stolen and the death of Gordon Quincy. I don’t believe it was solely the resentment of having her husband stolen, though. You’ve also just heard it. Maddie isn’t into you right now. It’s been so many years since Gordon Quincy died, and all these years, you’ve been so close to the murderer. It’s pointless, no matter what anyone says!”

“Did she tell you that?” Noah’s entire being exuded a chilly aura as he looked at Elise.

Elise swallowed her saliva unconsciously as Noah’s mood continued to deteriorate, but she bravely carried on speaking in the end.

“Mr. Quincy, you’ve already gotten Maddie killed. Whatever resentment you have for her or how deep the misunderstanding is, it should have faded by now, right? Can’t you be magnanimous and let her go?”

“You say I got her killed?” A flash of panic flashed across Noah’s eyes.

“Isn’t that right? Mr. Quincy, have you ever considered the possibility that, if you ever learned the truth and determined that Maddie wasn’t the person who killed Gordon Quincy, you would owe her your life?”

Even though Elise appeared calm outside, she was a bundle of nerves on the inside.

He was Mr. Quincy, the living devil of Imperia!

She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t scared in the least! She threw caution to the wind for Maddie!

The Quincy family was a bully!

“Is she really not the murderer?” Noah murmured to himself in hushed tones, as if he were speaking to Elise, but he sounded more like he was talking to himself.

Was it because she felt he had wronged her, and she couldn’t bear those happy memories from their youth? She no longer desired them?

Noah’s face darkened gradually.

Elise listened from the side and felt hesitant to speak further because she could feel the air around Noah’s body growing heavier.

Elise carefully wrapped the child-sized outfit Madeline had just opened to inspect, trying to divert his attention from her panic.

“The outfit is ready. It is a birthday gift from Maddie to Colton. Kindly accept this, please.”

Seeing that Noah didn’t speak anymore, Elise decided to seize the opportunity to see her guest off.

“This outfit is similar to the one Madeline just took away. Is it a set?”

“Mr. Quincy has a keen eye. It is, indeed, a set.”
