Abusive Wife Novel

Chapter 121

“What? Noah, are you serious? When did this happen, and how come I didn’t know about it?” Dylan spluttered.

“Of course, you didn’t know; that’s nothing new,” Noah replied perfunctorily. His eyes never left the surveillance monitor screen.

The little rascal, Colton, had gone into the lift without any mishaps.

There was a large surveillance monitor in the living room, and the HD camera caught every little nuance of young Thomas’s expression for Noah to see.

Thomas had no idea at all that he was currently being monitored in real-time, and was happily sending a message to Madeline on his phone.

Dylan noticed at this point that Noah was observing Colton’s movements very

carefully. At first, he thought that Noah was being overly protective, afraid that the boy would not be able to make it downstairs safely. However, as he continued to watch, he realized that something was amiss.

“Noah, look; isn’t Colt holding a phone? When did you get one for him? Just yesterday, I asked him for his Instagram account, and he said he didn’t have one!”

Apparently, it wasn’t that the little brat didn’t have an account; he just didn’t want to add Dylan to his friend list. Bah! What a waste, doting on him! Dylan’s expression betrayed his irritation.

“Madeline gave him that phone as a present,” Noah answered curtly.

Dylan felt even more annoyed. Colton was really a little brat and no mistake!

“What’s there to get annoyed about? I don’t know his Instagram account either.” Noah noticed that Dylan

genuinely felt hurt and tried to console him a little. After all, why would anyone need an Instagram account when they had someone’s phone number? He felt that Dylan was making a mountain out of a molehill.

“Eh? Really? Hahaha, then both of us are in the same boat. Alright, you keep an eye on Colt while I go heat up some milk for him. He’ll probably want to have it when he comes back!” Dylan felt a lot better after hearing that. He hurried off to the kitchen to warm up the milk.

Noah paid no further attention to him. He was focused on the monitor screen, watching Thomas. He also noticed that the boy kept typing messages and felt very curious about this. In the end, he switched the camera angle to a closeup
