Abusive Wife

Chapter 230

“Can you stop holding on to me? This is so embarrassing,” Noah complained as he tried to pull his arm out of Dylan’s tight grip. But the latter refused to let go, instead pleading, “No way! The crazy woman is still here. I’m scared.” He looked at Elise with a fearful expression as he spoke.

“Why did you agree to come here if you are so afraid?” Noah hissed. He shoved his friend aside to get a better view of the situation. Unfortunately, the market was buzzing with crowds. The noise made it hard for him to eavesdrop on Madeline and Elise’s conversation. As a result, he was even more annoyed at Dylan’s cowardice.

“Well…” The man was stumped by the sudden questioning and tried to change the topic. “I… I saw that Maddie was angry. As her friend, shouldn’t I show her some concern? You must apologize to Maddie later on, okay?”

Noah was not in the mood to consider the reason for Dylan’s appearance. He was still angry that Madeline had accepted Dylan’s Instagram follower request. Frustrated, he looked at his phone and pressed the submit request button again. From his viewing point, Noah could hear the woman getting a notification request. Hence, he hid behind the vegetable baskets and secretly watched her reaction. Alas, Madeline peered at her phone and disregarded the Instagram request.

What’s wrong with her? Didn’t she see my friend request? Did she ignore me on purpose? Noah fumed inwardly. Unwilling to accept his defeat, he hit the request button once more. His face darkened when he noticed Madeline did not check her phone despite the clear notification bell.

“What are you doing, Noah? Did you hear what they were saying? They have almost finished eating the two plates of crayfish! It looks so delicious. If only I could have a bite…” Dylan lamented.

“Stop fooling around. I’ll buy you some later,” Noah said in a perfunctory tone as his eyes remained glued on the phone screen.

When the owner of the vegetable store returned from the restroom, he found two men lurking in his store, staring at the two ladies who were feasting on the crayfish. “What are you two doing? Are you spying on the ladies in broad daylight? What nerves!” he chastised.

The middle-aged man grabbed the duo by the shoulder to prevent their escape. Dylan reminded Noah just as he was about to criticize the man for the physical intrusion, “Cool down! Maddie is still there!” He then turned to the store owner and
