Chapter 246
The two of them locked their gaze for some time. Madeline saw that Noah was not saying anything, so she continued to walk while feeling somewhat annoyed.
She was only able to take a few steps before getting dragged by Noah into his embrace. She was forcefully kissed by him.
That was an aggressive kiss because Noah didn’t even try to conceal his possessive urge. It was as if he wanted to crush Madeline in his embrace while kissing her.
Madeline couldn’t catch her breath and she couldn’t push him away too. She had no choice but to bite his tongue.
Even though their mouths were starting to fill with the taste of blood, Noah seemed reluctant to stop his onslaught.
Madeline sensed that something was off about him, and she slowly stopped resisting. Her body loosened up and she even started to respond to his kisses. Noah in turn toned down his aggressiveness and began to immerse himself more in their kiss.
Making sure that he was not so agitated anymore, Madeline found an opportunity to break free of his lips. She leaned on his shoulders while trying to catch her breath.
After regaining his sense, Noah took a look at Madeline, only to see that her neck had reddish marks, and her clothes were quite messy too. He felt his blood coursing through his body and it was going to his head. In the heat of the moment, he swept Madeline off the floor.
“Noah, are you crazy?” Madeline writhed around in an attempt to get back on her feet.
Noah quickened his pace and placed her on the bed. Then, he pressed himself on top of her. However, when his gaze met hers, he saw how cautious and highly strung she was. He immediately felt like someone had poured cold water onto his passion, and he was more clear-headed now.
“Madeline…” He whispered her name in an affectionate tone.
“What’s wrong with you?” Madeline pushed him away and sat up.
Noah wouldn’t lose control of his emotion like this. There must be a reason that he was acting like that.
However, Noah didn’t want to broach the topic of that man. He somehow felt that if Madeline didn’t reveal the truth, he could pretend that such a man didn’t exist in the first place.
“I’m fine.”
“You’ve been avoiding me since yesterday. Are you sure that nothing’s wrong?” Madeline swore that she was not asking out of concern. It was just that she was wary of him getting into a frenzied state again.
Noah appeared a little forlorn as he hung his head. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Noah who was always in high spirits looked dejected and fatigued.
“Madeline, I didn’t avoid you. Dylan suggested that I shouldn’t see you for the time being, so that you won’t be provoked.”
“If that’s what was going on, you better disappear from my life forever. I won’t be angry anymore if that happens.” Madeline didn’t think that such a lame reason would be the answer to what was bothering her the whole day.
She felt a little speechless.
“Madeline, do you really wish that I am gone from your life?” Noah suddenly snapped up and stared at her seriously.
Madeline felt her heart skip. She was just saying, but it seemed that he had taken her words seriously.
"Madeline, I promise that I will always be good to you, more than anyone in the world.” Noah reached out and clasped his hands around hers as if he was making an important vow.
Madeline blushed.
“Madeline, I will make you forget the past and everyone in it. Trust me, I can give you happiness.” Noah was not letting up when making his confession.
The room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
The two of them were looking into each other’s eyes. Their hearts were beating faster and faster.
Noah swallowed hard before closing in on Madeline. Just when their lips were inches away from locking again, the phone rang at the most critical moment.
“It’s me, your beloved son calling! Answer me now! I am your favorite baby!”
Noah picked up the call with an obviously stern look on his face. Thomas’ complaints could be heard through the speaker, “Daddy, you have forgotten about me in just a day. I am really so sad now! I want to run away from the house!”
“Thomas, it’s my bad. I will come to get you now, stay right where you are.”
“Daddy, you need to be punished if you make a mistake. If you can’t find me in twenty minutes, I will go back to…”
“You are not allowed to go back to Uranica!” Noah interrupted him sternly.
Thomas was visibly shaken, “I just wanted to say that I want to go back to the Maple Forest villa.”
“Thomas, be a good boy. I will come to get you now.”
“Okay.” Thomas was still recovering from Noah’s harsh voice. He was obviously feeling down as he hung up.
Then, he sent a message to his mommy.
“Calling for mommy! Something’s wrong with daddy!”
“What’s wrong with him?” Madeline shot a look at Noah who was driving now.
“I suspect that daddy has fallen for you!”
“Why do you say so?”
“He is afraid that you will go back to Uranica. He shouted at me about that just now.”
“You better don’t run around. Your daddy will be so mad and anxious if you do that.”
“Don’t worry, mommy. I won’t let daddy feel sad, because when he is sad, you will get hurt too.”
Madeline couldn’t stifle her laughter. Thomas was indeed the most caring son one could have.
Noah stole a few glances at Madeline who was giggling and smiling broadly while typing on her phone. He felt such intense jealousy like never before.
He realized that whenever Madeline was using her phone, he would suspect that she was having a conversation with that man.
She felt a little speechless.
“Madeline, do you really wish that I am gone from your life?” Noah suddenly snapped up and stared at her seriously.
“Noah, if you wish to die that much, you can do that alone.”
Madeline saw that to her right, a car was careening toward them, but Noah’s gaze was fixed on a point of space in front of him. His eyes were devoid of emotion. She snatched his steering wheel in the nick of time and steered the both of them out of danger’s way.
Noah felt a cold sweat breaking out. He vowed to never lose his focus anymore.
“If you need to get something off your chest, you should talk to me. If you are reluctant to do that, look for Dylan. Don’t keep it in there, you might frighten my son.”
“I am not trying to keep any secret from you…” Noah wanted to explain, but he didn’t know where to start.
Madeline waved her hand dismissively, “We were never the type of couple who share an intimate relationship. It’s fine that you don’t want to talk to me about anything. You don’t have to be so hard on yourself.”
Noah suddenly turned the steering wheel hard and forced the car to a stop by the road. He glared at her with frosty eyes.
“If we are not an intimate couple at all, are you saying that you are intimate with someone else?”
“I am intimate with many people, you know.” Madeline was upset after sensing that he was interrogating her.
“Is that so? How many daddies does Thomas have out there?”
“Noah, you bastard!” Madeline got off the car and slammed the door. She was immediately overcome with indignation and fury and in the end, she couldn’t endure it anymore. She simply let her tears flow.
She really thought that Noah had a change of heart toward her after confessing to her so sincerely. It turned out that in his eyes, she was still her old self from five years ago. The version of her was a woman with no dignity. The version of her who would allow him to verbally humiliate her as he pleased.
It seemed that his so-called confessions were just excuses for the sake of their child.
When Noah saw Madeline getting off the car, he immediately felt a pang of anxiety. He chased after her.
“Madeline, that’s not what I mean. Trust me!”
“Noah, I don’t give a damn about how you think of me. Don’t ever talk nonsense in front of me again.” Madeline shrugged off his hand and began to wait for a taxi by the road.
“I am just being jealous. I really hate myself for not being by your side for the past five years. I am just jealous that it was him who has kept you company. That was why I ran my mouth just now. Madeline, whenever I think about you smiling at another man, I am so jealous that I could go crazy. However, I didn’t have the guts to bring up that person because I fear that he might really exist.”
