Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 402 You Won’t Hurt Them, Right?

Everyone was all tired after playing by the beach for the entire afternoon. So after a simple dinner, they went to bed. Thomas, Colton, and Mackenzie were supposed to sleep in their respective rooms but Thomas insisted on sharing a room with Colton. While everyone was asleep, Colton heard some meows. After checking that Thomas was still deep in slumber, he tiptoed to the toilet, where he climbed through the window to the backyard. He scuttled along the edges of the garden path until he reached a small hole in the wall surrounding the villa. An adult would never fit in that hole, but it was not an issue for a kid like Thomas. Like a professional spy, Thomas burrowed into the hole and advanced toward the origin of the meowing. He saw the woman who talked to him the other day. She was leaning against the wall smoking. Her hands flapped about to swat the annoying mosquitoes away, careful not to make any noise to alert the patrols.

When she saw Thomas, she ranted, "What's wrong with your dad? It's just a villa. Not a castle. So why all these stupid high walls?"

"Don't badmouth my daddy!" Thomas glared.

Thomas's sudden outburst shook the woman. But she quickly recomposed herself, noting how ridiculous it was to be intimidated by a child. "Is everything ready for tomorrow? If the plan fails, your daddy might abandon you."

"Are you sure you won't hurt them?" probed Thomas apprehensively.

The woman squatted and tried to sound patient. "Don't worry. Haven't I shown you those two rich foster families?"

To earn Colton's trust, the woman continued and said that she was doing this because she felt bad for Thomas. And she claimed that those two rich families paid her to look for obedient kids. She spoke highly of them.

"Daddy scolded me again because of Mackenzie. He almost hit me, if only Mommy didn't come and stopped him. We made up later but Daddy didn't speak to me the whole night." Speaking of his terrible day, Colton's eyes turned teary.

The woman pulled Colton closer, even though deep down, she actually despised how spoiled Colton was. He was ready to send his own siblings away because he got told off. Like father, like son, the woman thought to herself. But at the same time, the woman was overjoyed. All these years of pampering Colton finally paid off because Colton was ready to tell her everything. And others were thinking that Colton was setting them up... Urgh, they should be here to see the current Colton. Just how complicated could a child who was jealous of his siblings be?
