Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 456 The Solace Family Cannot Force Me

Madeline had just gotten her period, putting her in intense pain from the cramps. Alexander had accompanied her to the pharmacy to get some painkillers, but nothing seemed to be working.

“Hey, why are you guys here? Have you eaten?” Madeline asked Thomas weakly, but her eyes were directed at Noah. She was slightly miffed at him for taking the kids out instead of hosting the engagement party. It was already late in the afternoon and growing children should not be skipping their meals.

“We just ate, Mommy, and we got some takeout for you,” Colton grabbed the paper bag that Noah was holding onto and placed it on the space next to Madeline.

Madeline shook her head feebly. “I don’t feel like eating right now. Why don’t you guys follow Daddy home first?”

“What are you doing here anyway?” Noah’s heart ached when he saw him in such a state. All he wanted to do was take her into his arms and comfort her, but he knew that Madeline was distancing himself from her right now. If he tried to force things between them, it would only make her more upset. He still distinctly remembered the words she said to him during the car accident last night. He vowed not to make decisions on her behalf anymore before checking in with her first.

“Something came up,” Madeline replied curtly. She did not know what was going on either, but the three Solace siblings had requested for her to stay back to discuss something with Old Mr. Solace. She could not say no to them, and truthfully, she was quite worried about Old Mr. Solace’s condition too.

Noah’s eyes flashed with cold anger for a second, and Madeline thought he was about to cause a commotion and carry her off again. Instead, he just sat down by her side wordlessly and opened the food packet. He scooped a spoonful of the soup and brought it close to her lips. Madeline was about to insist she did not have an appetite, but her lips opened up on reflex. The soup was hot and savory, warming up her tummy.

It was only after he fed her the spoonful of soup that Noah realized he might be pressuring Madeline again. He cautiously glanced at her to gauge how she was feeling and was relieved to find her looking at the bowl of soup eagerly. Happily, he fed her another spoonful of soup. Madeline was enjoying the soup when she noticed Noah gazing at her tenderly, causing her to blush profusely and choke on her soup.
