Abusive Wife

Abusive Wife Chapter 149

Concurrently, at the Maple Forest Villa, Madeline was busy sailing the ship between her beloved husband and

Dylan ever since she had come across the sight of them wrangling one another.

She even began to reflect on how she hadn’t noticed the relationship between the two being oddly suspicious.

Thomas woke up hungry and made a beeline for the kitchen with Colton in tow to have Albert prepare them some pastries.

Colton quickly got bored and got into his smart chair to check on the stock data.

It seemed he wasn’t interested in partaking in afternoon tea with Thomas. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Despite his distant behavior, he wasn’t

averse to having others bother him.

When Madeline came trotting down the stairs, it was Colton who first noticed the abnormal smile she wore on her face.

“Did something good happen, Mommy?”

“Of course. I found out…” Madeline reflexively wanted to share the gossip, but she suddenly realized that it was her son who asked the question and shut

She changed the subject.

“I found out we can go pick out matching parent-child outfits! Ha…

haha…” It was fortunate that she was witty.

“Matching parent-child outfits? With

Daddy too?” He asked placidly.

“Umm… about that…” Madeline felt torn. That was just a random excuse she had made up. Parent- child outfits tended to be on the cute and cartoonish side. Even she had no idea whether or not Noah would be willing to wear something like that!

“Well, something like that has to be worn together as a family.” Noah was done changing out of his clothes just in time to pick up the conversation while Madeline was at a loss.

She wore an awkward smile on her face. I just said that in passing…

Before she could even signal to Noah, Thomas came running in on his short, stubby legs.

“Let’s pick one out for Baymax too! Okay?”

“Of course. Anything for you, Thomas.”

“Would you believe me if I said it was just something I said in passing?” Madeline cut in.

Colt disagreed with the notion of it being cute. “Do we have to pick something childish?” He had never worn anything of the sort with his family before this and was a tad eager to follow through.

Noah and Thomas pretended not to hear her question.

Moreover, the excited Thomas had skillfully climbed his way into Noah’s

arms.

They truly were father and son.

Madeline sighed helplessly and

approached Colton.

“Do you think we can change their minds, Colt?”

“The chances are slim.” The child swept both his father and brother a glance as he spoke calmly.

“Are we just going to watch them do it and do nothing?” She refused to admit she was jealous to see the brat clinging onto Noah and not letting go.

“No, if Mommy agreed to stay with Daddy, then our parent-child outfits can be made into formal coattails for the wedding,” Colton said seriously as he set aside his phone.

.” She was now at her wit’s end.

Why, thank you, my dearest son! It sure doesn’t feel like you’re setting me up!

She decided to flee the scene and

pretend that this never happened.

It only took her two steps for Thomas to get in her way.

“Why don’t we get Auntie Elise to help us with them? I miss her!”

“No way!” She immediately cut him off when she heard Elise Lambert’s name.

“Why not? Auntie Elise makes really nice clothes!” Thomas didn’t understand.

“Don’t bother your Auntie Elise for such a small matter. She’s a very busy designer!” Madeline gesticulated wildly.

“No? I just sent her a text. She said she was catching up on a drama. I told her about the parent-child outfits and she

told me she’s coming over!”

“What? Elise is coming?”

“Yeah, Auntie Elise asked if Daddy and Uncle Dylan were also here and said she wanted in on the gossip!”

“She’s on her way!”

Thomas recounted every message to her.

“Umm… Noah, listen to me…” Madeline wanted nothing more than to stick her head into the ground with how embarrassing the situation became.

It was her fault that she secretly took a photo of Noah and Dylan and sent it to Elise.

Even the parent-child outfits were a slip of the tongue…

She shot Noah an apologetic look when she finally noticed the man’s frightfully dark expression.

Suzette had managed to convince

Bruno to bring her in the live broadcast tomorrow night, so she was homebound tonight.

She phoned James while Bruno was in the shower.

James had gotten used to her warmth and softness recently. As soon as he received a call from her wanting to remain in the Grant home, he secretly rented a service apartment in the building where the Grant’s apartment was located.

He texted her only after he settled in the building.

Suzette couldn’t help but frown at the

news.

James seemed to have gotten out of control as of late. She told him to stay put and yet, here he was.

The consequences would be disastrous if Bruno were to find out about him!

Before the Grants went bankrupt, her title as Mrs. Grant held her up high. She wasn’t about to ruin her future just because of one man.

She called him.

“Madeline is back, James. The Grants may be able to turn the tides. Nothing can go wrong. Can you please just go back?”

She patiently tried to persuade the man with soft words.

“Are you driving me away, Suzy? Do you still have to serve Bruno at night?”

“What are you saying? He hasn’t done anything in a long time. How can he even compare? I’m just telling you to go home. I’ll be back in two days once the dust settles.”

She reproached him in a coquettish

manner.

“But I’ve set everything up already. Come join me once he falls asleep. I’ll be waiting!” He hung up without waiting to hear her refusal.

“James… Hello?”

Suzette had more to say but suddenly had her phone taken away.

“Who were you on the phone with? Isn’t it cold to be out on the balcony this late?” Bruno came out of the shower with a small towel wrapped around his waist. He pressed his wet body up

against her before pushing her down

onto the plush sofa.
