Abusive Wife

Chapter 156

As Thomas’ phone screen unlocked, his conversation with Madeline was the first thing to pop up. Noah quickly glanced through Madeline’s messages.

“Thomas, where’s your Daddy?” the latest message from Madeline read.

Noah gave it all but a moment’s thought before sending Madeline his live location. He waited eagerly for her reply, but there was nothing but silence from her after a few long minutes. Noah put the phone back into Thomas’ pocket and stared at the ceiling in frustration.

Did she really ghost me after asking for my location? Noah wondered in irritation. Does she not care for me, even just a little? How hurtful! As these thoughts began to fill Noah’s mind, the door to the office suddenly flung open. He could recognize those footsteps any day. He quickly shut his eyes,

pretending to be asleep as Madeline walked into the office.

Madeline had figured out Noah’s location from the video Thomas had sent her earlier. However, she did not expect to find a sickly Noah lying on the sofa in Andy’s office, with Thomas sleeping by his side. She softened her strides, not wanting to wake either of them up. She wanted to carry Thomas into her arms, but she noticed the little brat grabbing on the Noah’s sleeve like his life depended on it. She could not tear them apart even if she tried, so she quickly abandoned the idea for the time- being.

She crouched down close to Noah, feeling his forehead just like he did for her not too long ago. It felt a little warm, so she decided to grab him a cold towel to bring down his temperature. Just as she turned away, someone grabbed

hold of her arm.

“Don’t go,” Noah’s recognizable voice called out.

“You’re awake?” Madeline turned back to look at Noah, but he was still lying there with his eyes closed, unresponsive to her question.

Madeline figured he was having a dream and tried to remove her arm from his grip once again. Noah was unexpectedly strong for a sleeping person, Madeline realized as she struggled to free herself from him.
