Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 459 Blood Relations Were a Funny Thing

Back at the hospital, Rowan Solace was getting his grandfather a glass of water. “Grandpa, why didn’t you show the results of the paternity test to Madeline?” he asked. “Wouldn’t it be more troublesome to take her as an adopted granddaughter?” To Rowan, having a real granddaughter seemed more meaningful than an adopted one.

“Have you boys forgotten about Annalise?” Old Mr. Solace’s sharp eyes did not miss the look of disdain on their faces when he brought up their sister. He could not help but feel disappointed. Once upon a time, the three of them had loved Annalise dearly and treated her like a princess. Now that their real sister had returned, did their affection for Annalise not count for anything any longer? That felt too heartless and cruel for Old Mr. Solace to accept.

However, Old Mr. Solace did not know that the three siblings had witnessed Annalise’s true nature for themselves. If Annalise was their real sibling, they would have instantly tied her up and taught her a lesson. Now that they suspected she was not actually related to them, they could not care less about her. On the other hand, Annalise’s behavior had gotten from bad to worse, choosing to pull such an embarrassing stunt at the engagement party today. Other guests might not have been able to tell, but the Solace siblings could clearly tell that Annalise was looking for revenge against Noah Quincy.

Blood relations were a funny thing after all. Back then when the Solace brothers had found Annalise, they had tried their best to get to know her and bond with her since she was supposedly their sister by blood. However, no matter how much they tried, they just could not seem to click with her. In the end, Oscar and Alex did the bare minimum as brothers. They bought her jewelry and all sorts of things that girls usually liked but were never involved as brothers in her life. Rowan was slightly better than his brothers. He was always willing to help Annalise out whenever she got herself into trouble, but that was the extent of their relationship.

Initially, they had chalked it up to different genders and interests, since they were all boys and Annalise was a girl. However, after meeting Madeline, they understood now that some relationships could only be forged by blood. It had nothing to do with gender or interests. Madeline was better than Annalise in every aspect. Even if she was not their real sister, they would have naturally gravitated toward her either way.

Annalise was just a counterfeit rich princess who had her eyes on their real sister’s husband. How could they not despise her?

The Solace brothers felt fiercely protective over Madeline. As Madeline’s siblings, they could choose to dislike Noah, but it was a different story if someone else tried to steal Noah away from Madeline.
