Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 363 Annalise’s No Good, Very Bad Day

"I think Mr. Quincy is truly in love with you this time, Maddie. He's willing to die for you. What else could that be but love?" Elise understood where Madeline's trepidation was coming from. Noah had hurt her all those years ago. It was only natural for her to be insecure.

"He's the great Mr. Quincy. He's always valued affection and righteousness. Didn't he do the exact same thing for Angie?" Just the thought of the man put her into a lot of grief.

She didn't want to admit that she still loved Noah. She couldn't fall in love with him again, much less allow herself to continue this path.

She couldn't experience the feeling of loss again.

"What do you want to do then?" Elise felt apprehensive. She was afraid that Madeline would once again retreat into a shell and disappear alongside her children.

She couldn't imagine what carnage Noah would cause.

"I don't know. I think I need to cool off. Maybe distance will help. These feelings would fade with time if I don't see him."

"Maddie, you've been away from him for a good half a decade. Did you manage to forget him?"

Reality seemed to crash down on her.

Elise cheered her on. "There's no need for you to look so much into it. You're no longer the you of the past. Even if you're in love with him and he ends up abandoning you, will you still be at his mercy like you were five years ago? Have some confidence in yourself."

"I'm scared I wouldn't be able to fight back." She was disgusted by the thought of once again becoming the woman who only had eyes for Noah.

"You'll fight. Did you forget you have three children? You're not going to lose your head over a man, are you?"

Elise saw Madeline as someone who was blinded by the truth but she knew better as a person watching from the sidelines. It was clear that she already had Noah under her heel. She had the high ground. There was nothing for her to fear.
