Aggresive Wife

The crystal pendant that Xander gave to Colton looked valuable at first glance. He had been carrying it on him. That meant that he was waiting for the right moment to give it to the child.

Noah scoffed to himself. Was he trying to buy off his son with a mere piece of crystal? He felt looked down upon.

"And, this is?" Xander shot Noah a suspicious look.

Madeline noticed how Noah was sullen, but he seemed to perk up at Xander's question as if he were a peacock that was about to spread its feathers. She shook her head helplessly.

"He's Colt's father." She gave him a brief introduction.

Xander's expression was a bit complicated. His eyes shifted from Madeline to Thomas and Mackenzie. He seemed puzzled by why they were here with Noah.

"I'm Thomas, Mackenzie and Colton's father and Madeline's husband. It's nice to meet you." Noah held out his hand for a handshake.

Xander smiled stiffly as he shook his hand. He could feel the stabbing pain of crushed bone in his hand.

Noah let go before he could even begin furrowing his brows.

He had no choice but to swallow his grievances.

Madeline had only told him about what happened with Trenton. There was no news about her and Noah reconciling, let alone a report that Noah was here in Uranica with the son he stole. It looked like the two of them were living together.
