Aggresive Wife

Chapter 583

Chapter 583 Is She More Important Than Mommy?

"I'm sorry, it’s my fault," Noah apologized after calming down and felt guilty smacking Thomas in the butt.

Despite the fact that Noah had previously reprimanded Thomas for his prankster manners, things were different tonight.

Mackenzie's last look at him also left Noah feeling broken.

"I'll ask Albert to pick up Colt."

Since Noah was hesitant to elaborate, Madeline decided against pressing him to do so.

Unaware of what had happened at the Quincy residence, she was reluctant to leave Colton there by himself.

"You can't do this to me, my love," Noah argued back.He had a hunch that Madeline would take the chance to leave him for good by taking Colton back from him.

However, Madeline, who was completely clueless, was shocked by Noah's refusal.

"It’s late.l bring Colt to visit you tomorrow,"

Noah added before abruptly hanging up the phone before Madeline could respond.

Taken aback by Noah abruptly hanging up the phone, Madeline stared blankly at her two children who were fast asleep before sending a message to Colton.

"Colt, do you want to return to Mommy's side?"

While all was going on, Colton, sleep deprived at the Quincy home, lay on his bed looking at the ceiling.

When Colton's phone rang, he got up quickly to check it and smiled when he saw it was from his mom.

However, his grin quickly changed into a frown once he read the message.

Colton longed to see his mom and hang out with Thomas and the gang, but leaving would destroy any hope of reconciliation between his parents.

Besides, if they were to move back to Uranica, what should he do - go to Uranica with them or stay with his father? This was all too much for a five-year-old like him.

Colton blamed his father, Noah, for all that had happened.

Thomas would not have been beaten, and Colton would not have had to worry about the situation, if Noah had been upfront about his relationships with other women.

Slowly but surely, Colton found himself developing a sense of hatred toward Noah.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Colton looked aside and pretended not to hear it, but Noah persisted in knocking on the door for a few more minutes.

He anticipated that Colton would be too upset over what had happened tonight to sleep.

Eventually, Colton felt bad as he could imagine that Noah’s hand must have turned red after knocking on the door for so long.

He hesitantly got out of his bed and opened the door.

Noah’s heart sank upon seeing his son’s hateful eyes toward him.

He walked into Colton’s room and pulled him over to ask, "What did you all see in the bar?"

After pondering for a long while, Noah managed to connect the dots between the children’s sudden arrival at midnight, Thomas’s outrage against him, and the incident in the bar.

Colton stared blankly at him and instead of answering his question, Colton asked, "Why did you bring that woman back?"

If it was not for Colton’s upbringing, he would have punched and kicked Noah the way Thomas did.

"She once helped me."

Noah's eyes softened as he felt slightly relieved upon knowing that it was indeed because of the incident in the bar. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Noah could give an explanation for everything that happened, so long as it could prevent Madeline distancing the kids away from him.

Colton kept quiet, waiting for Noah to explain, knowing full well that he could not be convinced by a few words.

"Remember when I was at the airport and was stuck in the restroom for a while? That’s because there were a few bad guys hiding in there to ambush me.I could’ve had it worse if it wasn’t for the woman.She accidentally walked into the wrong restroom and managed to help daddy out.She was seriously hurt as a result."

Back then, Noah was skeptical of the woman and even suspected that she was intentionally getting close to him.

However, he found nothing suspicious of her after doing some digging on her profile.He then took responsibility by sending her to a hospital to receive treatment and paid for her hospital bills.

Yet, she suddenly managed to escape.

If he did not coincidentally meet her in the bar, he would have given up finding her since she was not someone important to him anyways.

"Does mommy know about this?"

Colton had faith in his father, but his gut was warning him to not trust the woman.

Even though he had a quick glimpse of the woman from afar, Colton already had a bad feeling about her and it reminded him of the woman who abused him.

"I've been so busy recently that I forgot to inform your mother."

Noah was not lying here either.He was busy after attending to Madeline's wounds when she was attacked at her apartment.

How could he even keep in mind about the woman that saved him? When Madeline was feeling better, he had a lot on his plate in the workplace.

It was then that Wayne notified him that the woman had escaped, reminding him of his savior.

Seeing that the woman did save him, Noah sent a few men to locate her but eventually forgot about it.

"But you kissed her in the bar.I, Thomas and even Mackenzie saw it,"

Colton questioned sternly.

Noah rubbed his forehead and explained, "Indeed, I met her in the bar last night and she was having a conflict with her ex-boyfriend.In a moment of panic, she pretended to kiss me to get rid of him."

"Really?" Colton exclaimed with widened eyes of hope.

Noah laughed and patted Colton’s head.

"Of course.Did you forget that I'm a clean freak?" Colton immediately felt relieved.

Noah was indeed a clean freak.He would discard anything that had been handled by other people and rejected any other woman's proposal since he only had Madeline in his eyes.

"Then why did you bring her home? Why not just leave her somewhere else?"

Despite Colton’s relief at Noah’s reassurance, he still needed to ask any concerns he had in order to give a thorough explanation to his mom.

"She's in a complicated situation with her ex-boyfriend.Only I can help her out right now."

Noah did not want to tell Colton that the woman's ex-boyfriend was Ezra Gillian, and Ezra was known to be extremely possessive.

If it was not for Noah's help, the woman would most definitely be taken away by Ezra.He wanted to explain the incident to Madeline himself, but unfortunately it was too late as he had an argument with Thomas.

"Daddy, is she more important than mommy?" Colton asked as he did not agree to Noah’s actions.

Noah should have known that this would make Madeline mad, but he still went with it.

Did it mean that Noah’s feeling toward Madeline was shifting?
