Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

“Mommy, it’s all my fault. You only need to punish me,” Colton spoke first, and he had a conviction on

his face that told her he was willing to accept any kind of punishment.

“Albert, send Colton back,” Madeline said listlessly.

When Colton was crying in front of Madeline the other day, it was actually just an act. However, when

he heard how indifferent she was when she was asking Albert to send him back home, he no longer

could hold back his tears.

Mackenzie could not bear to see him cry, so she tried to help, “Mommy, we are already at the airport.

Let’s go to Uranica together. We can show him our old place too.”

“That’s right, mommy, Colt has promised me that he would not tell daddy about this trip, alright?”

Thomas was begging on Colton’s behalf, and he was trying to assure Madeline.

Colton was sobbing while he nodded. He never removed his gaze from Madeline.

Madeline felt sorry for Colton, but she never showed it on her face. She maintained her cold face, and

she said nothing in response. She simply glanced at Albert.

Albert moved forth, and he wanted to hold Colton, “Colton, let me send you back.”

“If you’re going to leave me alone again, why did you return back then?” Colton suddenly exploded in a

fit of rage. He attracted the attention of many people in the airport.

Madeline felt that she was being unfair to Colton, and her conviction began to waver.

It was always a delicate matter to maintain harmony between multiple children. Sometimes, treating

one of the children unfairly would ruin things in the long run.

Madeline raised Thomas and Mackenzie on her own, but she did not spend a lot of time yet with

Colton. That was why she felt distant when getting along with Colton sometimes. Now that she was not

going to bring him along, would that mean that she would never have a chance to be close to him

anymore?

“If you never come back, I will grow up in the absence of a mother figure. Then, I won’t look forward to

being the same as the other kids where they are loved by their mothers.” Colton said this while his

tears continued to trickle down his cheeks. He ignored Albert and turned around and walked away on

his own.

“Mommy, I beg you to bring Colt along. I will take good care of him,” Thomas was anxious when he saw

that Colton was walking away.

Mackenzie was pulling at Madeline’s shirt too, “Mommy, we are like triplets who should never leave

each other’s side. Bring Colt along, will you?”

Mackenzie and Thomas never saw Colton as their elder brother probably because Colton always

looked obedient and polite, which made him seem weaker than the other two. Mackenzie and Thomas

were unwilling to see someone who appeared weaker than them as their elder.

However, after spending some time together, they found that Colton had his own talents. He was good

academically, and he was able to solve hard questions easily without much effort, in contrast to the

other two who always struggled.

Moreover, Colton knew how to make money. He had helped the two of them to double and triple up

their pocket money.

This was why they finally respected Colton like their elder, except that Thomas had gotten used to

calling him “Colt” instead.

The memory of a weak Colton resurfaced in her mind when Madeline recalled how Angie had pushed

him down a cliff. She remembered vividly how weak and pitiful Colton was in her arms.

“Colt.” Madeline decided not to allow herself to wallow in regret. She caught up to Colton and stopped

him.

“What’s the matter?” Colton had resumed his calm demeanor by this time.

Madeline actually did not like him acting like an adult, being too composed and level-headed. Colton

should enjoy his childhood like the other kids without worries.

“I am not abandoning you, I want to let you know this. I have some urgent matters to deal with

overseas, and I will return when I resolve my issue,” Madeline tried to explain, but Colton produced no

reaction to that.

“The reason I am not bringing you along is that I would fear for safety. If you insist on tagging along, I

will allow you to come with us,” Madeline caressed his hair, but Colton flinched and avoided her touch.

It seemed that their bond was going to break here and now.

Madeline finally understood the severity of the situation. She carried Colton into her arms and turned

around and walked back to the group.

Albert could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The tranquilizer was not a strong one, so if they continued to

waste more time there, they would miss their flight. By then, Noah’s men would have reached the

airport to stop them.

Three hours later, Madeline and her three children were finally at the New Yale Airport.

“Hey, Fleur!” A woman with blonde hair waved at Madeline and the group.

Madeline waved back at her.

When the woman reached them, she eagerly carried Thomas and kissed him, “My dear Thomas, do

you miss me?”

“I miss you so, so much,” Thomas was very sweet with his words, and he knew what to say on this type

of occasion.

“We will go back home for now, and then we will go to the hospital to visit Xander,” Madeline told that

woman.

The woman nodded, “His mother fell down and hurt her legs, so she’s not taking care of him of late.”

She was familiar with their situation, so she knew that Madeline did not get along well with Xander’s

mother. His mother would always reprimand Madeline the moment she saw her, so that woman was

giving her a head’s up.
