Abusive Wife

Abusive Wife Chapter 116

Dylan was about to collapse in a heap as Madeline watched with a confused expression.

Dylan’s antique plate had been used for Noah’s omelet?

She thought Noah had intentionally used the porcelain plate-what a jerk!

How could a priceless porcelain plate be shattered into smithereens if he hadn’t just said, “spiked the food,” to frighten her?

“I’m truly sorry. I was careless…”

Madeline’s face flushed as she apologized. Although Noah was the main offender, she was the one who broke the plate.

She was about to come up with an excuse, but Dylan burst into tears

before she could say anything.

“Maddie?”

“Boohoohoo…”

Madeline felt a little guilty as she looked at Dylan, who was crying uncontrollably.

Could this plate be an antique and a family heirloom?

Madeline glanced helplessly in Noah’s direction, the actual offender, as she thought about this.

Noah stood there, not looking bothered in the least. He looked at her, all innocent, and gave her the most endearing smile.

Madeline became so enraged that she

nearly exploded.

“Uh, don’t be sad. I’ll replace it with the exact same one. Okay?” Madeline couldn’t bear seeing a grown man like Dylan cry dismally for so long, so she consoled him like a child, speaking tenderly to him.

However, Dylan didn’t stop crying and even ran up to her and hugged her.

“Maddie, you’ve returned. Boohoohoo… I’m overjoyed!” Dylan wrapped his arms around Madeline and sobbed even harder.

Madeline was stunned.

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. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

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!”
