Abusive Wife

Chapter 198

Even when Noah had Wayne pull the car around and drive them back to Maple Forest Villa, Madeline’s head was still spinning. Mentally exhausted, Madeline started drifting off to sleep in the car. When Noah noticed that Madeline was fast asleep, he instinctively leaned toward her to let her lie comfortably in his arms.

Madeline awoke to find that she and Noah had arrived at the villa and that Noah had fallen asleep while hugging her. Under the moonlight, his beautiful eyelashes stood out like the ones on a doll she had liked as a child. As Madeline reached her hand out to touch them gently, Noah’s lashes fluttered ever so lightly before he opened his eyes.

“Oh, you’re awake. We’ve arrived; let’s go.” Once Madeline realized what she was doing, she withdrew her hand and sprinted out of the vehicle first.

Noah moved his numbed arm around and sat up, only to feel a sharp pain from the wound on his abdomen. Despite the discomfort, he stepped out of the car. Seeing Madeline scurrying into the villa, he smiled and followed suit.

Upon entering the residence, Madeline immediately sensed that something was off. Pieces of luggage were neatly stacked in the living room, and Mr. Charles was hard at work in the adjacent open kitchen with several other servants. She felt her appetite rising in response to the tantalizing aromas from the kitchen. Meanwhile, Thomas could be found seated at the table, enjoying one of the freshly baked egg tarts.

“Hm, seems like Mr. Charles has already prepared our meal. You must’ve been famished. Shall we have a meal together?” Noah walked in and said.

“Uh… yes, I’m hungry, but do you mind explaining what’s going on with this?” Madeline pointed at the stack of luggage at the side.

“Oh, these must be the luggage I asked Mr. Charles to move. Since most of my property now belongs to you, I’m penniless now and must rely on your support going forward.”

“What?” Madeline exclaimed. Indeed, she accepted the property ownership certificate but did not expect this sudden twist of events!

“Have no fear, Ms. Madeline. I still own a successful business and can guarantee you a luxurious lifestyle.” Noah smiled as Madeline stayed silent. She was furious that she was tricked!
