Aggresive Wife

CHAPTER 406 DOLPHIN SHOW

"You look like you're about to cry. It's okay to be afraid," said Madeline as she noticed Mackenzie's puffy eyes. Her children had gone through too many things these few months. Madeline could only hope that peace would return.

"Mommy, we'll always be together, right?" croaked Mackenzie. She lifted her head to look at Madeline.

Madeline thought her daughter was still reeling from the shock. She consoled, "Of course, we will. Your brothers are still young. But when they grow up, they will protect you."

Mackenzie wanted to say something, but decided not to. She buried her head in her mother's embrace to seek reassurance. Noah was greeted with this intimate scene when he entered the cabin. He quickly sat beside the duo.

"Is Zeke all right? Is she traumatized or something?"

"I'm not a coward," mumbled Mackenzie.

"Then go out and get some air. It's not that hot anymore outside." Noah picked Mackenzie up. He was scared when he received Mackenzie's distress signal. But he was relieved to see his daughter return in one piece.

"Daddy, you're a superhero!" exclaimed Mackenzie when she recalled her father's intervention. She didn't want to burden her parents with her problems, not before they took the medications. Therefore, she recounted Noah's heroic tale in great exaggeration to Madeline. Noah, of course, was just busy grinning as he enjoyed the spotlight. When they came to the deck, Thomas and Colton were sitting in front of the fishing rods. Colton was the quiet one. He could stare at the ocean for the entire afternoon. However, Thomas was never one to sit still. He had to do something. One moment, he was touching Dylan's fishing rod, and the next moment, he went to fiddle with Alexander's chums. The rest of the group was so done with the hyperactive Thomas that they just gave him his smartphone and asked Thomas to play some games.

"Enjoying the game?" questioned Madeline sarcastically. Thomas was supposed to serve his punishment by fishing. But instead, he was playing games.

"What a dumb game. I finished everything in ten minutes. Uncle Dylan, why did you download a game for kids? You..."

Thomas noticed his mistake. He quickly switched off the phone and tossed it back to Dylan. "Oh, Uncle Dylan asked me to help him with the game. You know me. I love to help others."

"Thomas Grant!" bellowed Madeline, the soundwave of which was strong enough to shake the three other adults and Mackenzie. Speaking of Mackenzie, she was reveling in Thomas's misfortune.

"Look, Mommy! So many dolphins! Daddy, you're so romantic. Your wife must be the luckiest girl in the world!" Thomas turned to his father to request for backup. If his eyes could speak, they would be saying, "Help me, Daddy! I owe you a big one."

"I..." Noah was silenced by Madeline's furious glare. He could only fake a cough and say a prayer for Thomas.

"Come over here now, Thomas Grant. I'll make sure you learn your lesson today." Madeline chased after Thomas on the deck. She made sure not to run too fast because Thomas might faint again from his injury.

But Thomas did not care about his injury. He ran while yelling, "You should look at the dolphins, Mommy. Look at them. They are so beautiful. Do you know how much effort Daddy put into this spectacle? Don't miss out. You always ignore Daddy when he does something to impress you. All the guards here look up to Daddy. Don't make him look bad."

Thomas dashed into the group of security guards who were watching the dolphin show. One after another, they tried to assuage Madeline's anger. "Ma'am, Mr. Quincy specifically prepared this show for you. Do him this honor, please."

"That's right. You can discipline your kid later. A spectacle like this doesn't happen every day."

Noah also seized this opportunity to lead Madeline to the best watching spot, far away from the crowd. As the dolphins soared to the sky, Noah said, "You shouldn't be too pessimistic about the medications."

Madeline knew where this conversation was going. "We're here. So Thomas can be as reckless as he wants. But when I'm gone, no one can rein him in. What if he does something stupid and puts himself in danger?"

"You underestimated Thomas. He is bold, but he isn't unruly. Trust me. You will be fine after the medications."

Suddenly, the dolphin closest to them jumped and splashed the couple with water. Madeline broke into a cackle, and Noah followed suit. All the other dolphins just looked at the humans, wondering what they were doing.

"They are adorable," commented Madeline.
