Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Only then did Madeline realize she had taken off her makeup and was showing her true

face.

She wasn't close to Dylan, but he was the only person who had been kind to her after she

married Noah. He was always there for her and cared for her during her pregnancy.

However, aside from giving her checkups, prescribing her medications, and planning

healthy meal plans, he did not speak to her.

His temperament was cold and quiet, just like Noah's.

Even when he had the time, he quietly listened to what she was thinking but never

commented.

As such, Madeline thought Dylan was just doing his job as a doctor at the time.

She also assumed that after so many years, Dylan had forgotten entirely about her.

Surprisingly, he remembered her and even regarded her as a friend.

Madeline couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, but being hugged too tightly was

extremely uncomfortable. Noah had already intervened when she was about to push him

away gently.

Noah's face darkened as he saw Dylan rush over to hug Madeline.

At this point, he took immediate action, grabbing his shirt and pulling him aside, saying,

"It's improper for men and women to have physical contact with one another."

"Boohoohoo! Noah, how did I not realize you were so petty before?" Dylan appeared

displeased as he purposefully taunted Noah.

"You remembered wrongly. I've always been this petty."

"However, how did I not realize the two of you have such a good friendship?" Noah looked

at Dylan, his expression obviously darkening.

Dylan wiped away his tears and smiled triumphantly when he heard Noah's question.

"Without a doubt. Maddie used to confide in me about her feelings!"

Noah's eyes flashed with murderous intent as soon as those words were spoken.

Madeline, on the other hand, was helplessly massaging her temples.

She had no idea Dylan was such a chatterbox and gossiper.

They didn't talk much at the time, even when he gave her checkups. She suspected Noah

had poisoned him and rendered him mute before sending him her way!

"Confiding?"

"Yeah. I was Maddie's best friend back then. She would tell me everything!"

"So many years have passed. Maddie, do you miss me?"

Death didn't scare Dylan. He moved in closer to Madeline and took her hand in his.

"Thank you. You were the only person willing to listen to me at the time." Madeline looked

at Dylan and expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

Dylan was the only friend she had ever had, even though she didn't discover his true

nature until five years later. She felt she should at least thank him for that.

"Okay, since we're all friends, let's put the porcelain plate incident behind us. Maddie, it

was simply a careless mistake on your part." Noah watched as the two old friends were

reunited while feeling very uneasy inside. He marched up, stood between them, and pried

Madeline's hand from Dylan's grasp.

"Ah? That plate was from the Victorian era!" Upon realizing what had happened, Dylan

exclaimed.

"Madeline regards you as a good friend, but you fussing over a porcelain plate? Is that

even appropriate?"

"It's not appropriate of me...but..." That one was from the Victorian era and was part of a

collection of porcelain bowls that he still had in his kitchen!

Even if he wanted to find the exact same plate, he wouldn't be able to!

His heart was in so much pain!

However, recalling how pitiful Maddie was, he restrained himself from saying anything

else.

The next instant, Dylan's mood brightened, and he chirped, "I will put this matter behind

me to celebrate Maddie finally being willing to come back as her real self."

"You mean, you've known who I am for a while?" Dylan's remarks were clear to Madeline.

"Uh, about that..." Dylan scratched his head in embarrassment and hesitated to speak.

He stole a sideways glance at Noah while thinking of some way to escape the situation.

"Does that mean you were aware of it as well?" Madeline questioned Noah as she looked

at him when she finally realized.

"Well, Madeline Grant, you don't think you can fool me with your parlor tricks, do you?"

Noah smiled meaningfully at Madeline, who was filled with suspicion at the time.

"How come?" Madeline was baffled.

"What do you mean, 'how come?'"

"Why didn't you take revenge on me if you knew my identity long ago? Wasn't I still your

enemy until yesterday?" Suddenly unable to comprehend the situation, Madeline turned to

look at Noah.

What is he trying to do?

He'd known who she was for so long, but he still approached her and was even nice to

her?

Noah's heart ached as he saw the distant look in her eyes.

"Madeline, I never thought of taking revenge upon you," he finally said after a protracted

silence.

"Oh? Mr. Quincy, why should I believe what you just said?" Madeline retorted dismissively.

"I know you won't believe it right away, but give me some time, and I'll show you that you

are Noah Quincy's only wife." With a heartfelt expression on his face, Noah moved closer

to her.

Madeline couldn't think of anything to say. His unexpected confession caught her off

guard.

"Hell, yeah! If you two get back together, the three of us will be able to hang out more

often. The idea has my support!"

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"
