Aggressive Wife novel (Madeline and Noah)

Chapter 460 Annalise In Trouble

Steve sat upright in his seat as he stared down at his three grandchildren. "That's right. Your father disappeared right in front of your mother."

"That's not possible. How does something like that even happen? Why and how did he disappear? Aliens?" Oscar thought it to be beyond the laws of the world as he knew it.

Steve seemed to have expected their disbelief. He simply waved his hand to signal for them to quiet down before continuing, ”I didn't believe your mother either when she told me about it. I sent out many of my men to search for your father. I have never given up on my search but he's still nowhere to be found."

"What happened after? Why did my mother marry Bruno?" Alexander couldn't wrap his head around it. Did his grandfather drive his mother away in anger because of his father's disappearance?

He immediately dropped the thought. His grandfather was not that kind of man.

"Your mother had locked herself in her room ever since he disappeared. She kept a lucky charm with her that she would speak to. She hadn't even known she was pregnant and nearly caused a miscarriage."

Steve was stuck in old remembrance.

"Then, things kept happening one after another. Anyone of the Solace family would end up injured the moment they set foot outside the home. It was like a curse that we can't avoid. We got the police involved but every incident was ruled an accident. I also hired detectives but the result was no different."

Rowan didn't know how he felt about the news. This sort of thing only happened in movies and books. There was no need to make up a story like that to trick them.

"Their purpose… Was it to force my mother out of hiding?" Alexander asked, his voice trembling.
