Aggressive Wife

Chapter 111

Madeline panicked.

"Mommy, look out!" yelled a terrified Thomas as he wrapped his tiny arms around her neck.

"Don't worry, mommy's here. Close your eyes." replied Madeline as she glared at the black car that was heading towards them. The car was very close and judging from its speed, it was too late for them to run back up the mountain to hide. In desperation, she sought out a slightly raised boulder and huddled behind it while shielding Thomas with her body to provide an additional layer of protection.

She estimated that from the angle of impact, the car would miss Thomas.

In that moment of danger, all Madeline could think of was to ensure that Thomas would survive, the last thing on her mind was her own safety.

Cradling Thomas, Madeline covered his head with her hands as she braced for impact. She was already prepared to face her fate.

However, when she heard the loud crash of the impact, she felt nothing. There was no pain at all.

She turned around and saw a black Rolls-Royce planted firmed in between them and the black car. The other car's hood was destroyed after it rammed into the Rolls-Royce and smoke was coming out from the engine.

The door to the Rolls-Royce suddenly opened and a familiar figure emerged from the car.

Noah?!

He was wearing a black wool coat. The dazzling embroidery on the coat's cuffs was glistening in the sunlight, making Noah look like a knight in shining armor, even if for a brief moment.

As he turned around, a terrifying amount of blood could be seen staining his sculpted face.

Seeing Madeline looking at him in a daze, Noah took two quick steps forward and pulled her into his arms.

"Are you alright, Madeline?" he asked worriedly.

"I, I'm alright. You're hurt and you're still bleeding... is it painful?" replied Madeline. She was so overwhelmed with emotions that she almost cried.

For some unexplained reason, the moment she saw that man emerging from the car, her heart leaped with excitement and she knew they were saved from the clutches of death.

To Madeline, Noah was like a god who appeared at the right time to scoop them out of trouble.

She gently touched Noah's forehead. Her eyes were teary.

Noah looked at her and he suddenly spaced out.

Noah recalled the day when he was in a bad mood and he decided to go out for a drink. He was involved in a car accident and injured his forehead. Back then, Madeline had also touched his forehead with her trembling hands and asked the same question. Her eyes were also teary.

Her voice was full of worry, but he refused to believe her sincerity. He thought she was just putting on a show.

He believed that she was a liar with superb acting skills!

Noah felt an ache in his heart as he came back to his senses. He immediately pulled Madeline into his arms and embraced her tightly.

"Thank goodness you are alright, Madeline!" exclaimed Noah.

In his heart, he whispered to himself again, "Thank goodness you are alright. Now I have a chance to make amends."

For the first time in a long while, Madeline did not try to push him away as he hugged her. She instead stretched out her arms and hugged him back tightly.

The familiar woody fragrance his body exuded was the same scent that she loved back and yearned back then.

"'I'll just treat this hug as a well deserved reward after our brush with death!" thought Madeline. Her mood lightened considerably.

Thomas, who had to watch his parents being affectionate to each other, was looking at his father with sparkly eyes.

His father's appearance earlier was so cool! He looked like a superhero!

Thomas was enamored by the idea of his father being a superhero that he decided to not ruin the tender moment that the two were sharing with each other.

However, what was he to do when both of them had been hugging each other for a long time now while ignoring him? Thomas also wanted a hug from his superhero!

He was in a dilemma, but in the end, Thomas got up and ran towards them as fast as his stubby legs could take him and wrapped his arms around Noah's thigh.

"Daddy!"

Feeling the sudden weight on his leg, Noah reluctantly let go of Madeline.

"Are you okay, Colton? Come here, you!" said Noah as he bent down to pick up Thomas.

Looking at her son, Madeline suddenly realized she let her guard down and got caught in the moment for a brief time.

After comforting Thomas, Madeline narrowed her eyes as she looked at the damaged black car near them.

As if knowing what was on her mind, Noah said, "The driver has already ran off. But he's injured, so he shouldn't have ran far. Wayne is further ahead too."

"How did you find us? This is quite a distance away from the warehouse at the top of the mountain and it's off the beaten path."

"Oh it's easy, I planted a bug on Colton."

Thomas was stunned when he heard the name.

Huh? Daddy planted a bug on him? When? where? NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

The gears in Thomas's head started turning as he tried hard to figure out when he played himself into his father's hands.

Madeline also panicked for a moment when she heard the answer.

She did not know when Noah started tracking Thomas's location and whether the brat's real identity was exposed.

Madeline was a little concerned, but knew that it was not the right time to worry about all of that.

"You're hurt, let's go back."

"Okay!" replied Noah in an unbelievably gentle tone.

Not wanting to continue to stare into Noah's captivating eyes, Madeline took the wheel.

At that moment, Albert arrived on the scene..

"Ms. Madeline!"

"Are you okay, Ms. Madeline? I'm sorry that I'm late!" said Albert. When he saw the scene of the car accident in front of him, Albert immediately got down from the car and went to Madeline.

Seeing Madeline's disheveled look, Albert could not help but blame himself for not searching for her when she failed to turn up.

Albert's face turned white when he heard the explosion earlier…

"I'm alright. You came at a good time, take us home."

"Come with us, Mr. Quincy!" Madeline added.

The three of them got into the back seat of the car driven by Albert.

Despite the front passenger seat being vacant, Madeline was irked that Noah squeezed into the back seat with the two of them but she decided to look past it since he did save their lives today.

Besides, they were about to leave anyway!

Thinking of all that, Madeline could not help but glance at the man beside her.

He was probably tired after the whole ordeal.

With Thomas on his lap, Noah could be seen leaning against the backseat with his eyes closed. He was fast asleep.

The evening sun shone through the car window and hit Noah's face, bathing his face in a bright orange glow.

Thomas sat quietly on Noah's lap. He was preoccupied with the thought of his scumbag father being able to track him down.

In the past, his mother had tried to track him down and she never succeeded, yet Noah managed to do it. How was he able to do so?

Thomas inspected his body thoroughly earlier and found nothing amiss...

He needed answers desperately as he struggled to wrap his mind around what happened. Unable to contain himself, he caved in and decided to ask his father, "Daddy..."

"Are you asleep, daddy?"

"Don't pester your daddy, Thomas. Let him rest. Come to mommy." whispered Madeline as she reached out to carry Thomas and placed him on her lap.

At that moment, Noah's brows furrowed a little. Despite being in a daze, it looked like he was a shocking thought.

"Thomas?"

"Mommy?!"

They met?
