Abusive Wife Novel

Chapter 216
Mr. Charles was chuckling when he said that and he couldn’t conceal his fatherly smile.
Madeline felt a little guilty upon seeing him smiling like that.
“My clothes? What’s wrong with my clothes?”
Madeline’s eyes darted to her body and she discovered that she was only wearing Noah’s T-shirt at the moment.
Although it was a loose T-shirt, she was still shocked by her own appearance.
She even felt that she was caught red-handed on the spot.
What was going on? Why would she be wearing Noah’s shirt?
No wonder Mr. Charles had that playful smile on his face. She was beyond embarrassed!
“Mr. Charles, you have a point here. I am going to get a change of clothes now!”
After Madeline said that, she turned back into the room and slammed the door.
In no time, she reappeared gloomily but this time, she was clutching a pillow.
“I am going back to my room now...”
Madeline covered her face with her pillow and darted off.
Mr. Charles simply watched her all the while. He thought, Mrs. Quincy is so cute. No wonder Mr. Quincy is so fond of her even
after so many years.
Madeline scurried back to her room without pause, and after making sure that the door was tightly shut, she finally could let out a
sigh of relief.
She could not figure out when she started wearing Noah’s clothes. That was too awkward just now!
Wait a minute, even if she was just sleepwalking, she wouldn’t have changed her own clothes, would she?
Could it be that Noah b*stard had taken advantage of her when she was soundly sleeping?

The more she thought of this possibility, the more her anger rose. At that same moment, the door of the bathroom was flung
open from the inside.
Noah was wearing her bathrobe as he dried his hair while marching out of the bathroom.
“Oh, is Mrs. Quincy awake now?”
“Noah, what have you done to my clothes?”
“When you were looking for me last night, you accidentally wet yourself. I helped to change your clothes so that you wouldn’t get
a cold.”
Noah was explaining nonchalantly as if it was the most trivial thing.
However, deep down, his heart was racing.
“You changed my clothes?”
“Yeah.”
“Noah, you unruly bastard!” Madeline grabbed her pillow and flung it at him.
Noah was able to catch it. Then, with the pillow in his embrace, he started to walk toward Madeline.
“What’s wrong with what I did? It’s not like I haven’t seen you naked before. Are you embarrassed right now, Mrs. Quincy?”
“I... Ugh.” Madeline was at the limit of her patience and just as she was about to refute him, her lips were pressed by his.
Madeline wanted to resist him but to no avail. She was pushed onto the bed immediately.
She almost felt like she was going to give in to him.
“It’s getting late now. I should head to the company now. Thank you for bringing me my phone.”
After getting at it for some time, Noah finally let go of her, albeit a little reluctantly.
When he got up, he stole back his own phone from Madeline’s grasp. Before she could say anything, he made his escape.
“Noah!” That b*stard!

Why did he have to kiss her so hard? Her lips were swollen now.
Her lips felt awful.
After Noah had left, Madeline’s phone which was on her nightstand received a message,
as indicated by a ringtone.
She rolled on her bed to where the phone was and grabbed it. She then unlocked her lock screen to reveal a chat box.
It was Elise who was bombarding her with messages.
Elise wrote, “Maddie, Dylan has slipped out of the house in the middle of the night. I figure that he must have gotten himself into
some shady business. Should I tail him to check what he is doing?”
Elise continued, “I saw some dark circles under his eyes, and he looked so weak too. Don’t you think that he’s so lame?”
Elise continued to bombard her, “Maddie, it is high noon now. Aren’t you awake yet?”
As Madeline read those messages, she could clearly feel that Elise was really into those gossip.
She swiped for her keyboard application and texted back, “Auntie Elise, why did you keep your eyes on Dylan while you can
choose to sleep?
Elise replied, “Maddie, you’re finally awake!”
Elise’s reply came almost immediately. She even added a smiley emoji following her reply.
Madeline texted back, “The moment I woke up, the first thing I saw was your gossip. Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for Dylan! What
about staging a confession to him soon?”
After replying to Elise’s message, she chose an outfit from her wardrobe and wore it.
Elise replied, “What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t want to see my favorite couple breaking up so soon. How can I stay
calm? Say, what if Noah knows about Dylan’s antics of slipping out at midnight to fool around? Would he be angry?”
Madeline replied, “Hey, about that, Elise, they don’t actually...” She wanted to tell Elise that there was nothing going on between
Noah and Dylan.

Madeline was about to type her reply when she saw Dylan hooking his arm around Noah on the first floor. He seemed to be
sucking up to Noah as they got into the car.
That was a crazy sight to behold. She would be stupid to not capture this moment for future gossiping material.
Madeline quickly snapped a photo of their mesmerizing backs and sent it to Elise
The moment Elise received that photo, she exploded with emotion.
Elise was screaming through her text, “What have I just witnessed? Didn’t I tell you, this couple that I support is always going
strong!”
Madeline replied, “Looks like Dylan came to my house last night. You have nothing to worry about. Can I get your permission to
return to sleep now?”
Elise retorted, “I never told you that I am worried about him, not in the slightest. I am just here to support this couple, alright?”
Madeline replied, “I won’t say anything else to your stubbornness.”
Elise left her on read.
Even though they were separated by their mobile phone, Madeline could still picture Elise rolling around on her bed while feeling
extremely awkward.
Madeline shook her head helplessly and just when she was about to put aside her phone and go enjoy breakfast, she received a
call from Albert.
“Ms. Madeline, we need to pay the association a visit today I will reach the Maple Forest Villa in about ten minutes...”
Madeline only recalled that she had made an appointment to visit the association a while ago after hearing Albert’s words.
She rushed upstairs and changed her clothes quickly
The reason for her visitation today was about the Global Charity Banquet which Angie ruined a month ago. After some
discussions among the management, they decided to redo the Global Charity Banquet next week.
The nominees for the Ambassador for Philanthropy of Imperia had been submitted as well.

Furthermore, all members of the management were of the opinion that although that fiasco last time did not really hurt the
association realistically, it still left a bad reputation for therm.
In order to show their sincerity and place importance on this event, they decided to invite Madeline to be one of the judges for the
Ambassador for Philanthropy of Imperia award.
Madeline shared their views too.
She had asked Albert to schedule their activities and they had made an appointment to
visit the association office. They were going there to go through the nominees’ information.
So much had happened these past few days, which was the reason she had shoved this appointment to the back of her head.
She was lucky that Albert was there to remind her. Otherwise, things could go wrong!
As Madeline thought of that, Albert’s car rolled to a stop in front of her.
Albert got out of the car and opened the car door for Madeline.
Madeline stepped into the car while Albert jogged back to the driver’s seat to resume driving. He handed her a document of
some sort.
“Ms. Madeline, this is an application document of people who want to be new members of the association. I just received this. I
think you need to take a good look at it.”
