Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 21

Colton nodded. Madeline was impressed Colton was financially savvy even at such a young age. She smiled and said, “Well, let’s do it! Let’s buy this stock you suggested.”

Madeline immediately called Albert to invest all 400 million dollars in the stock. Colton was surprised a stranger who he had only got to know a few days ago would listen to him. She had also been nothing but nice and patient to him.

Nobody had ever listened to him. Daddy never listened to him; he only listened to Auntie Angie. He stopped talking since nobody was listening. Even though Daddy had never scolded him despite Auntie Angie’s accusations, Colton had always felt like he didn’t belong in his family.

It was the first time someone listened to him, and it was nice. His eyes pricked with tears of joy as he felt a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Madeline asked with a concerned look, “Colt, is everything okay? You know you can tell me anything.”

Colton liked Madeline’s gentle voice. He glanced up at her and hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. He clenched his fists as he choked back his tears.

Madeline’s heart ached. She held his hands and tried to comfort him, “Don’t worry, Colt. I’m here with you no matter what.” Colton felt safe with her. He began to feel tired and eventually fell asleep.
