Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

dodge her.

Noah instinctively pulled her to another side and made her sit down next to him.

Annalise didn’t plan to give up just yet. She wanted to sit close to Noah, but the other seat next to him

was snatched away by Mackenzie.

Thomas and Colton then proceeded to take a seat next to Mackenzie. Mia happened to just sit next to

Madeline.

It was a round table that they were huddled around. Yet, Annalise was left all alone by herself sitting

opposite all of them. The atmosphere was beyond awkward.

“Noah…” Annalise sobbed at Noah with teary eyes.

Noah ignored her as he asked Lucas, “Why did you come here?”

Lucas always buried himself in work, and he normally wouldn’t have his meal outside. This was

because he thought that it was a waste of time to spend more time than necessary on eating.

Therefore, he would always eat a lunchbox that was prepared by his family. When he was out on a

business trip, Mia would buy him his lunch and send it all the way to his office.

It was indeed a rare sight for him to come to a restaurant to have a meal. This was even more true of

the fact that he wanted to join in on a meal in a suite like this.

“To eat.” Lucas’ answer was straightforward.

Noah raised his brows. Of course, he wasn’t satisfied with such an answer.

Lucas provided more explanation, “That day, you told me that it was very romantic to kiss your wife, so

I tried…”

Before he could finish his sentence, his mouth was clasped hard by Mia.

Mia shut her eyes and wished that she was never there in the first place. She realized that the rabbit

was out of the box.

Madeline glared at Noah and her face was bright red too. She thought, Why is this man disclosing

every single detail of our private life to an outsider?

“Ugh, my wife is indeed a sweet person,” Noah said while moving close to Madeline’s ears.

Madeline pushed him away, which made him bump into a waiter. The waiter was holding a jug of hot

water, and the water almost spilled onto Mackenzie.

Noah was quick on his feet as he moved forward and took Mackenzie into his embrace.

All of the hot water splashed onto his back.

“Daddy!” The three children shouted out at the same time.

When Noah heard those three calling him daddy, he felt like the pain in his back was not so severe

anymore.

He caressed her head and asked, “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Mackenzie shook her head and then she bit her lips hard. Soon, tears started to fall from her eyes.

Was this how it felt like to be protected by a father? She felt so touched by his gesture.

“Go to where your mommy is. Make sure your clothes are dry.” Noah passed Mackenzie to Madeline.

Then, he finally stood up and was about to head to the washroom to rinse his back with some cold

water.

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Quincy. I didn’t mean to do this!” The waiter’s face was pale because of this sudden

turn of events. He dropped to his knees in front of Noah to beg for forgiveness.

“Why are you still on your knees? Go fetch some ointment, quick!” The manager of the restaurant led a

few waiters in, and he was sweating profusely. He reprimanded the waiter who allowed the hot water to

splash onto Noah before escorting Noah outside of the suite.

Madeline and Lucas wanted to follow them but Annalise happened to bump into a woman just outside

the suite. She managed to stain that woman’s skirt.

That woman and her friends were huddled near the entrance of the suite, not allowing any of them to

leave the suite.

Madeline sensed that things were going wrong. She picked up a knife that was meant for the steak and

shoved the knife near that man’s neck.

“Go away or you might die!”

“What do you think you are doing? Are you going to commit a crime in broad daylight?” Although that

man was retorting, he was visibly shaken by Madeline’s crazy antics.

Madeline exerted more force into her grip and pushed the knife a little into that man’s skin, which stung

him a little. He staggered clumsily and pretended to be angered, “Just you wait!”

Then, he ran off.

When the others saw that he had run off, they began to fear what Madeline might do with that knife.

They all followed suit.

When everyone was gone, Madeline finally realized that Annalise was nowhere to be seen.

“Go look for Noah,” Madeline ordered Lucas before darting off with the kids.

Lucas was a prescient person. He immediately had a foreboding feeling that someone wanted to hurt

Noah. He began to call Wayne on the phone while looking for Noah with Mia.

Madeline began to head in the direction of the washroom by following the sign boards along the way,

but the more she ventured, the more she felt that something was off. When she almost reached the

end of the corridor, Mackenzie who was just next to her was taken away by someone in a suite.

She kicked open the door of that suite immediately and barged in.

However, the moment she showed herself, a mysterious powder was sprinkled all over her face.

She immediately stopped breathing, but it was too late. She only managed to get ahold of Mackenzie

who was now unconscious and she soon fell to the floor. She was all sprawled out by the door.

“Hey, we have gotten ourselves a beauty. This is a nice catch.” A few lecherous men started to make

their way toward her.
