Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 88

Noah could not imagine how much torment Suzette and Angie had inflicted on Madeline before when he saw the anger and relief in her eyes. Given her sweet and kind-hearted nature, she would not have hated the Grants as much otherwise. Hence, he wanted to chase the Grants out of Imperia as he knew it would make Madeline happy. It was also his way of making amends to the woman whose pain he had exacerbated. Not only did he neglect her all this while, but he was also influenced by Angie to make Madeline's life miserable.

Even though he was disappointed at her refusal, he decided against forcing his way through. "All right, Ms. Grant. Just say the word if you need my help."

"Well, thank you," she mumbled, nodding.

After a pause, which seemed like an eternity, Noah spoke to dispel the awkward silence that was starting to make him feel uncomfortable. "Ms. Grant, I'm curious, what happened between you and the Grant family?"

Madeline was taken aback by Noah's sudden question, and a flicker of panic passed through her watery eyes. However, it disappeared in an instant. She said casually, "It's just some cliched plot. A nobleman like you won't be interested." Her curt reply suggested that she had no intention of elaborating.
