Abusive Wife

Chapter 68

Thomas trotted into the living room on the first floor of the Maple Forest Villa, accompanied by Wayne.

When he awoke and discovered that his Mommy was absent, he could not help feeling rather dispirited.

However, when he overheard Wayne saying that he was going to pick Noah. up from Ms. Madeline’s home, he immediately perked up. He did not even bother freshening up first before hopping into the car along with Wayne and coming here.

“I’m so sorry for showing up like this, but young Colton has been making a fuss about seeing his daddy, so I brought him along…” Wayne apologized. Noah’s clothes in hand, he glanced with some embarrassment at the little boy who had seated himself at the breakfast table without a second

“Mr. Hudson, I’m sure you haven’t had breakfast yet. Why not join us?”

“I…” Wayne looked very awkward. It was true that he was genuinely very hungry. When Noah disappeared suddenly yesterday, he had pulled together a search party, and they had hunted for Noah the entire night. Right now, he was starving!

“Uncle Wayne, come and try Uncle Albert’s pancakes. They’re really good!”

“Well…alright then, I’ll have some, if you don’t mind, Mr. Wright.” Wayne’s face was beet red as he reluctantly made his way to the breakfast table.

The first person to come downstairs was Noah.

Since he did not have a change of clothes, he was still in yesterday’s half- damp trousers and thin shirt. The top two buttons of the shirt were undone, revealing a good deal of his muscular chest. This gave him an almost aristocratic air of decadent allure.
