Aggresive Wife

Chapter 301

Madeline tapped on the link to the news about Annalise and Noah's marriage, browsed through it briefly, and glanced nonchalantly at Noah. "When will it be official?"

"Will what be official?" Noah was confused. When he saw the headline "Change of Heart! Noah Quincy Marries Socialite", he realized what Madeline was talking about.

However, he was not very happy that Madeline had reacted that way upon reading the news.

Aren't you jealous?

"Our divorce," Madeline said while handing the tablet back to Noah. She pulled a face at him and ran outside.

Madeline wanted to go to the bathroom but soon found herself enveloped by a shadow. She turned around, and when her gaze met Noah's intimidating gaze, she suddenly felt guilty.

Wait, I'm not the one marrying another person, so why am I feeling guilty?

She stubbornly looked him in the eye. "We've already lived apart from each other for more than three years, and our marriage can be considered null and void. Only one of us needs to go to the city courthouse to get the paperwork done."

"I see, so you're concerned that I haven't been doing anything to prove that we're married," Noah said. His jawline was taut, and he remained angry.

He looked like he wanted to drag her to the bedroom and get the job done so he could still claim her as

his legally wedded wife, but… NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"So what if I'm concerned? Can you still perform?" Madeline playfully lifted her leg and kicked it between his legs.

Noah grabbed her butt and shifted her to the bed. "Hmm, I wonder if I can! Would you like to try?"

The lust in his eyes was palpable, and he seemed deadly serious. Madeline had to admit defeat.

"Are you okay now?" she ventured.

"Do you want to see me thrust my hips? I'll thrust them for you to see," Noah said while blowing warm air into Madeline's ear.

Madeline blushed when she remembered how the two of them had made out in the lounge yesterday.

"You should go and look for your fiancée, Mr. Quincy."

Madeline did not believe Noah would be engaged to Annalise. That was why she could use the issue as a joke.

However, as soon as she said that, she could feel Noah's temperament change, as though he was trying hard to repress his anger.

His goze, which hod been gentle ond soft eorlier, wos now os cold os o glocier.

"If thot's whot you wont, Ms. Quincy, I'll do os you soy."

He obruptly stood up ond left the room.

Without his body weight pressing on her, Modeline suddenly felt empty inside.

Nooh hod reolly left. He did not leove onything behind.

Modeline did not see him for the next few doys. On the Internet, news ond photos obout Annolise's oppeoronce ot the Quinton Corporotion ond the Quincy residence were posted frequently.

"Moddie! Hove mercy on my gown! I spent two months on thot thing!" Elise snotched the steoming iron from Modeline's hond.

Modeline come to her senses. Elise led her to the sofo, ond the two women sot down.

"Tell me, whot hoppened?" Elise soid while opening o pocket of chips. She hod o stosh of snocks for gossip sessions like these.

Modeline sighed. "Thot's not very friendly of you."

"Let's eot together," Elise soid while shoving the pocket to her.

Modeline sighed ogoin ond soid, "Elise, do you think it's obout time I leove with the kids?"

When she first returned, she plonned to leove os soon os she took her revenge.

Why did she stoy bock then?

Nooh's foce oppeored in her mind.

"Ooh, ore you jeolous becouse you sow the news obout Nooh ond Annolise's engogement?" Elise could guess whot Modeline wos thinking.

Unexpectedly, Modeline shook her heod. "I don't core who he morries."

Their relotionship hod ended five yeors ogo.

"Then why do you look so out of it? I heord Ms. Quincy is going to hove dinner with Annolise tonight. Why don't we go ond spy on them?"

Modeline shook her heod ogoin.

"Moddie! If he belongs to you, you shouldn't let other people cloim him even though you don't wont him! I didn't know you're so cowordly now!"

"Elise, I'm seriously considering whether I should toke the kids bock to Uronico. Trenton is bock."

Elise shuddered ot the mention of the nome, ond her expression turned serious.

"He… He's bock? Thot's on even better reoson why you shouldn't leove. If you stoy here, Mr. Quincy con protect you ond the kids."

"Or moybe I should leove the kids here?" Modeline did not seem to be listening to Elise.

His gaze, which had been gentle and soft earlier, was now as cold as a glacier.

"If that's what you want, Ms. Quincy, I'll do as you say."

He abruptly stood up and left the room.

Without his body weight pressing on her, Madeline suddenly felt empty inside.

Noah had really left. He did not leave anything behind.

Madeline did not see him for the next few days. On the Internet, news and photos about Annalise's appearance at the Quinton Corporation and the Quincy residence were posted frequently.

"Maddie! Have mercy on my gown! I spent two months on that thing!" Elise snatched the steaming iron from Madeline's hand.

Madeline came to her senses. Elise led her to the sofa, and the two women sat down.

"Tell me, what happened?" Elise said while opening a packet of chips. She had a stash of snacks for gossip sessions like these.

Madeline sighed. "That's not very friendly of you."

"Let's eat together," Elise said while shoving the packet to her.

Madeline sighed again and said, "Elise, do you think it's about time I leave with the kids?"

When she first returned, she planned to leave as soon as she took her revenge.

Why did she stay back then?

Noah's face appeared in her mind.

"Ooh, are you jealous because you saw the news about Noah and Annalise's engagement?" Elise could guess what Madeline was thinking.

Unexpectedly, Madeline shook her head. "I don't care who he marries."

Their relationship had ended five years ago.

"Then why do you look so out of it? I heard Ms. Quincy is going to have dinner with Annalise tonight. Why don't we go and spy on them?"

Madeline shook her head again.

"Maddie! If he belongs to you, you shouldn't let other people claim him even though you don't want him! I didn't know you're so cowardly now!"

"Elise, I'm seriously considering whether I should take the kids back to Uranica. Trenton is back."

Elise shuddered at the mention of the name, and her expression turned serious.

"He… He's back? That's an even better reason why you shouldn't leave. If you stay here, Mr. Quincy can protect you and the kids."

"Or maybe I should leave the kids here?" Madeline did not seem to be listening to Elise.

Elise stared at Madeline for a while before taking her hand and saying seriously, "Maddie, I'm sure you have already made up your mind from the start, isn't it? When you knew Trenton was returning, you'd already decided to stay here with the kids. The news of Mr. Quincy's engagement made you change your mind."

She could see a hint of dejection flash in Madeline's eyes, and that made her think her guess was correct.

"That's not like you. I'd expect you to send the kids somewhere safe before confronting Trenton yourself and fighting him to the death. This time, you didn't want your children to abandon this comfortable life because you're reluctant to leave Noah!"

Every word from Elise's mouth struck the chords of Madeline's heart. She tried hard to come up with a retort but could not think of any.

"I know you've been trying to dodge this issue of love, but Noah has once again claimed your heart. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you'll still be leaving your heart here with him. Maddie, you have to let go."

Yes, I shouldn't be bogged down by relationships and emotions. I have more important things to do.

"Thank you, Elise!" Madeline stood up abruptly. Her dejection was no longer to be seen.

Elise was relieved to know that she was her old self. "I'll go to the restaurant with you later and…"

"I understand now, Elise. I can't always be running away. I have to face Trenton boldly. No matter what he might do to me, I will fight with all my strength and protect my children!"

She had been wondering if she should send her children away to let that mysterious figure protect them, or let them stay behind so Noah could protect them.

She finally faced her true feelings that she did not want to separate from the children. She had to become stronger and protect them herself. She would tell Trenton that he could not threaten her with the children anymore!

Elise gawked at Madeline. No…? I didn't say all that so you'd become a superhero!

"Where are you going then?"

"Boxing practice!" Madeline rushed out of the boutique and went to the underground boxing gym.

She could not even defeat Noah now, and she had to remedy that.
