Abusive Wife

Chapter 247

“I know that I have no right to ask you about what happened in the last five years, but I can’t stop my thoughts from running wild. I can’t stop myself from being jealous. Madeline, I am afraid that I will lose you.”

Noah’s intense gaze was fixed on Madeline, and he was looking at her with such passion as if nothing in the world was more important to him than her existence. It was very hard for any woman to resist him and not fall for him.

Madeline, who was always rigid, stubborn, and cold-hearted felt that she was softening up, but in the end, she couldn’t reciprocate his ardent love.

This was because every time she tried to put down her guard, she would be consumed by some kind of wariness and fear. This happened every time Noah tried to be with her and love her deeply.

Perhaps, she was fearful that she would get hurt again. Her fears stopped her from loving him again. She always instinctively wanted to run away from him every time.

Noah felt an unspeakable gap between them, which caused him quite some anguish. However, he couldn’t push her too hard.

After all, this was the consequence of his past actions. He had to slowly make up for his sin.

“I am not saying this so that you would feel compelled to do something or to respond to me. I just don’t want you to misunderstand me.”

“I got it.”

The two of them fell into silence. At this moment, Madeline suddenly smelled a fragrant, faint scent from Noah’s body. It smelled like milk.

Madeline inched closer to distinguish that smell further. She then looked up and met Noah’s gaze. Her heart was pounding in her chest when she commented, “Something on you smells familiar.”

Madeline coughed lightly and staggered a little.

Noah smelled his sleeves and realized that this faint, milky scent must have come from Mackenzie.

He wanted to tell Madeline that Mackenzie had returned to the country, but he remembered that Mackenzie had insisted that he couldn’t tell anyone about this fact back in the hotel.

He mulled over this and decided that he would give Madeline a pleasant surprise two days later. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Calling for daddy!”

A familiar ringtone broke the silence in the air, and Noah and Madeline froze. They both gasped before running back to the car. Noah turned on the engine.

Noah connected his phone to the car’s Bluetooth. The call came through.

“Daddy, from now on, you will lose your precious son in the next three hours.”

“Thomas, don’t loiter.”

“Pass this to mommy: Her beloved son is angry right now. There will be dire consequences.”

Thomas hung up after announcing smugly.

Madeline stared at the bombardment of new messages on her phone screen and replied to Thomas with apologetic emojis.

“Your son is beyond furious. He will be unable to reply to messages in the coming three hours. Please reply again after three hours.”

“I implore you to tell me where you are going, my handsome Thomas.”

“This is classified information.”

After this, Madeline couldn’t get any replies no matter what she sent.

Furthermore, he had deactivated the tracking system that was set on him. She had no way to look for him now.

“Don’t worry. I will order my men to watch the surveillance cameras around the school. We will find him in no time.” Noah was holding the steering wheel with one hand, and he was reaching out his other hand in an attempt to hold Madeline’s hand.

However, Madeline didn’t let him touch her.

“Go back to the Maple Forest villa first.” Although Thomas was the naughty Little Devil, he wouldn’t purposely do something that would seriously worry Madeline.

Therefore, despite not knowing what secret Thomas was hiding, she believed that he must be doing this after making sure he was safe.

Noah ordered his men to examine the surveillance video to look for signs of Thomas.

Madeline had missed the time to fetch Thomas because he had stopped her by the road just now. He was guilty as charged, so he quickly ordered Wayne to start looking around. He wanted to make sure that Thomas wasn’t hurt in any way.

Soon, Wayne replied to him that Thomas was in a hotel right now. He was safe and sound.

However, Wayne deliberately left out the fact that the pair of siblings almost brought the whole hotel down the moment they bumped into each other. They must have gotten into a scuffle.

“Wayne has found Thomas. My men is around him. He is going to be safe.” Noah parked the car in front of the Maple Forest villa.

Noah got off the car while nodding, “Make sure to send him back after three hours.”

She didn’t ask Noah about Thomas’ whereabouts. After all, the Little Devil needed some breathing space from time to time. She was confident that Noah’s men wouldn’t bother or disturb him.

“Madeline.”

Just when Madeline had turned around and was heading toward the villa, Noah suddenly called out to her.

He was gazing at her attractive and otherworldly beauty as she was illuminated by dim light under a lamppost. Noah said with conviction, “No matter what, we will always be husband and wife.”

In other words, even if Madeline had been with another man in the past five years, Noah wouldn’t pursue that matter anymore. He would love her like always.

Madeline almost couldn’t hide the sparkle in her eyes. An enticing smile blossomed on her face as she replied, “Mr. Quincy, one shouldn’t make confessions repetitive. It would lose its luster.”

“Nothing in the world beats the sight of your smile.” The corner of Noah’s lips curled up.

His smile was as pure and fine as the scenery of a snow-white mountain. It was intoxicating.

In the Sunshine Villa, Annalise finally felt that the weight that was weighing her down for the past few days was gone.

The ghostwriters she had hired had launched a complete attack on Nadine. This had put Nadine in a bad light. Nowadays, anyone on the internet who heard about Nadine would automatically think of sugar daddies or prostitutes. Words with a negative connotation.

She wouldn’t believe that someone with such a bad reputation could keep the Ambassador for Philanthropy award!

“Ms. Solace, you will get the ambassador award because Mr. Solace has made his move. Unfortunately, we have no way to turn our aim at that little b*tch in the association, since she has Mr. Quincy’s cover. We can’t touch her at the moment.”

Liam knew how to read the air. Knowing that Annalise loathed Madeline, he purposely cursed Madeline.

“She’s just a bumpkin from the countryside. I can crush her just by lifting my finger. As long as Noah discovers her true nature, he would stop getting deceived like he is now.”

A venomous, scheming look appeared on Annalise’s face. Noah belonged to her alone. No one could snatch him away from her!

There was only one consequence for anyone who dared to snatch away what belonged to her. That consequence was none other than death.

“Didn’t Mr. Solace promise to bring you to meet her at the Rotating Restaurant tonight? He always adores you, so he must be setting this up so that he can create a situation where she will apologize to you.” Liam was beating around the bush.

Annalise immediately read between the lines as she replied excitedly, “As long as we can let Noah see her getting embarrassed, Noah would loathe her!”

“Why stop at just embarrassing her? We should crush her completely. Otherwise, she might revive herself and come back to bite us in the back.”

“What do you propose?” Annalise couldn’t suppress her hatred toward Madeline. If it was not because of Noah, she would have ordered someone to crush Madeline.

Now that she had a chance to make Noah hate Madeline, she would not let go of this golden opportunity.

“Ms. Solace, you know that Madeline must have gotten onto Mr. Quincy’s bed to force him into marriage. She already has a bad reputation all along. It would be normal for such a playful and flirtatious woman to have some lecherous encounter with men out there, don’t you think so?”

Liam revealed a twisted and obscene smile.
