Abusive Wife

Chapter 288 Bruno’s Defection

“Did mommy really say that?” Noah once again felt a vortex of emotion in his heart. So much time had passed, and he really thought that Madeline had let go of the past. He really believed that Madeline would slowly accept him.

He didn’t expect that Madeline actually did not see Colton as family.

Madeline was always a child-loving woman. There was no way she would not take in Colton. Was it his fault that this was happening?

“Daddy, I don’t want to lose mommy. I want mommy to love me like she loves Thomas and Zeke. Daddy, can you help me?” Colton buried himself in Noah’s embrace, and he was silently sobbing.

At this moment, Noah felt that he and his son were abandoned. It was indeed a pitiful feeling.

“Alright.”

Noah brought Colton to look for Madeline. When he found them, he saw Madeline adjusting Mackenzie’s clothes, and Thomas was playing next to them, which incited some laughter.

Madeline was pinching Thomas’ face when she turned and saw Noah and Colton. Her smile immediately froze.

Noah felt his heart sink. He motioned for Colton to join them.

Then, he saw Colton go to where Madeline was and called her “mommy”. Madeline caressed his hair, and although her smile was gentle, it lacked a little intimacy and enthusiasm like when she was with Thomas and Mackenzie.

Noah had never noticed this, but after some keen observation, he realized that Colton had a hard time becoming a part of them. It was as if he was an outsider who orbited around the three of them.

“Sir, Annalise wants to see you.” Wayne suddenly appeared.

Noah stopped looking so glum, “What’s the matter?”

He was in a bad mood at this moment. An unfortunate person was going to feel the full brunt of his wrath soon.

“She claimed that she just wanted to involve you in some scandal that day in that restaurant. She never had any intention to hurt Mrs. Quincy in the first place. Furthermore, she even discovered some suspicious people who were in that vicinity.”
