Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 85

Aggresive Wife Chapter 85

Madeline was surprised. Despite not being the top guns in Imperia, the Hann Corp was influential, like the Lowe family.

She had to give it up to Suzette for being able to join forces with the Hann Corp when the Grant family had barely anything left. However, Madeline was not prepared to let Suzette have her way.

Madeline ended the call. Noah seemed to be sound asleep. She was about to leave to check on Colt when Noah grabbed her wrist. She turned to look at the sleepy man on the bed.

“Please don’t leave. Please,” he pleaded softly. She took a deep breath. It sounded all too familiar – she used to be the one begging him to stay, and he never stayed. She felt sad about herself, but she did not let her emotions show.

He saved her, so she should show her gratitude by taking care of him. She remained calm and bent down to check on him. “Hey, are you awake?”

Noah looked pale and his skin felt unusually warm. He did not seem to be fully awake to her. He might have simply been talking in his sleep. She frowned and examined him closer.

He opened his eyes, and she was caught off guard. She blushed and took a step back. He did not seem to be disturbed, “You can ogle me as long as you want, Ms. Grant.”

“I am not ogling you, for god’s sake!” She scowled at him, “I am only checking if you are still alive, in case you die all alone.”

He was disappointed with her response. However, he could not exactly blame her for avoiding him. He managed a smile and lightly pulled her arm, “Well, would you please at least fetch me a cup of water, Ms. Grant? As you can see, I am injured.”

She glared at him, but she could not refuse his request. She felt pity for him. “Fine. I will get you a cup of water.” She turned to pour him a cup of warm water.

Madeline had been taking care of two kids on her own all these years, so she could say she was good at taking care of people. She persuaded herself she was only taking care of Noah now because he was injured.

In any case, to her, Noah was just another kid to take care of. Speaking of which, he had been behaving quite childishly since he got injured; Madeline wondered briefly if he had sustained any brain damage as well.

Much calmer now, Madeline brought the cup of water to Noah and began to treat him like her own child. “Here’s your water. Open your mouth now, and take the straw like a good boy.”

She had meant to make fun of him, but he did not seem to mind and played along. He opened his mouth obediently and let her hold the cup for him, so she could practically feed him like a baby. She was dumbfounded.

“Nonsense! Stop doing this to yourself,” said Suzette, her heart aching for her daughter, “You are better than this. You are my daughter!”

“Stop doing this?” Angie chuckled, “If I stop doing this, we will run out of money very soon. Why do you think I am working so hard?”

“Oh wait,” she continued, glaring at Suzette, “How could I have forgotten about James? You have nothing to worry about because you have James to support you.”

“Watch your mouth!” Stunned, Suzette put a hand on Angie’s mouth, “Your father is at home!”

Angie was momentarily startled. She said nothing more and crashed onto the couch. Suzette was furious to see Angie stoop so low.

“You need to get back up, Angie,” said Suzette, “So what if Grant Corporation is going down? You can always find someone else to support you, and you will be back in the game.”

Suzette threw a bag to Angie. “Here’s the invitation card to a birthday party with the Hann family. Now, get ready to put your best foot forward at this party. Get to know the sons; you only need one of them to get you back in the game.”
