Aggresive Wife

Chapter 400

CHAPTER 400 THE CORN POPPIES ON THE HILL

Madeline remembered seeing the cold look in Noah's eyes when he found Angie crying. At that moment, she was convinced that Noah had believed Angie's claims and taken her side, yet again.

After that, she refused to offer any explanation in indignation. Still, she felt her heart bleed when Noah shouted at her to make her go back to her room.

"Why did you ignore me back then?" Noah had not the faintest idea why Madeline responded that way.

Madeline curled her lips. "Have you forgotten how much you hated me at the time? You'd always use Angie to get on my nerves. Naturally, I thought you had believed Angie's words that I had broken those antique vases. Not only were you away on my birthday, but you also shouted at me because of what she said! Was it wrong for me to be upset back then?"

Madeline could feel her anger rising. She glared daggers at Noah the next instant.

Noah gave a small cough and explained hurriedly, "I didn't even care about the vases back then. I wasn't going to scold or punish you even if you did break them. I only told you to go back to your room because I was worried that you might accidentally injure yourself with all the broken pieces on the floor. I remembered that you had a cut on your palm because you were holding a piece of the broken vase in your hand."

After hearing his reasons, Madeline stared into the man's eyes for the longest time to see if he really meant his words. To her surprise, she did not find any trace of uncertainty in those orbs.

"There was one time when you decided to clean the study, and you accidentally knocked over a rack

and broke all the antique items displayed on it. Did I say anything about it?"

I haven't thought much about all those things that happened in the past. Now that we've talked about this, I realize that we probably have a lot of misunderstandings about each other because of Angie's schemes.

I so badly want to tear that woman to bits again!

"It's true you didn't say anything about it that day, but I thought I was going to die in bed that night!" Madeline remembered that day as though it had only happened yesterday. She thought that Noah hated her at the time and that he was trying to torture her every time they spent the night together.

It was as if the man had an endless amount of energy, and he wouldn't stop unless Madeline begged him in tears.

"Did you think I was trying to punish you every time we did it? Was I really that bad?" Noah was in a state of shock.

No wonder she looked so horrified every time I tried to get intimate with her!

I'm not really that bad in bed, right?

Madeline merely pursed her lips.

It's not that he's terrible in bed. I just couldn't keep up with his needs. Still, there's no way I'd tell him that.

She remained silent and moved away from that spot.

Noah wasn't going to let the topic end in such an abrupt way. As a man, the issue mattered a lot to him.

"Was it really that bad while we're doing it? I didn't make you feel good at all?"

Madeline could feel her face burning. "Shut up already!"

"No! You must give me a definite answer today. Did I or did I not make you feel good in bed?" Noah stood in her way.

Madeline was as red as a beet. The past memories of them sharing a bed flashed across her mind.

Surprisingly, the number of times we had gotten intimate wasn't on the lesser side even though our marital relationship was rather stormy. After we had spent the first night together with Noah drunk, he started using our marriage as an excuse to initiate the act after that.

"Madeline, this is important to me! When I saw how uneasy you were after breaking those antique items that day, I was only trying to distract you that night…"

Just then, Madeline heard the sound of footsteps coming toward them. She quickly covered Noah's mouth. "Stop it!"

"Ack! These grapes are so sour! Colt, how dare you lie about them being sweet! You're gonna get it for making a fool out of me!" Madeline could faintly hear Thomas's and Colton's voices in the distance.

The thought of the servants, who were watching over their children, possibly overhearing their conversation made Madeline extremely anxious.

Noah could tell what she was worried about just by looking at her face. He muttered next to her ear, "Did I make you feel good at any point?"

"No! Absolutely not! Are you happy now?" Madeline snapped at him.

Noah clutched her wrist and said, "You're lying."

"I did not!" Madeline denied it almost instantly.

"I remember how hot and bothered you were lying below me. You even urged me to move faster…"

Madeline glanced over his shoulder and spotted their kids heading in their direction. "Enough with all this! I admit that you're amazing in bed, alright?"

"Then why did you think that I was punishing you that night? You seemed like you enjoyed those moments too."

"Will you stop it already? I was in a bad mood at the time. Then, you forced yourself on me, and you wouldn't even stop when I asked you to. Isn't that enough reason for me to get mad?"

Then, Madeline pushed Noah aside and strode toward the kids without sparing him another glance.

"Mommy, Colt is so naughty! He tricked me into eating these sour grapes!" Thomas complained to Madeline as soon as he saw her.

Madeline wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "It's your fault for being so gullible."

"I learned all of this from Daddy. Sigh… Look at the things that I'd do to make my lil' brother happy."

While Madeline was wiping the sweat on Colton's forehead this time, the servants quickly noticed that Noah was looking at her intensely. Soon enough, they tactfully led the children away to allow the parents some alone time.

Noah walked up to Madeline and held her hand. Then, he said smilingly, "I know what I've done wrong now. I'll keep it in mind and do better next time."

"Mr. Quincy, no one ever agreed to have a next time with you." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Even though Hannah was glaring at him, Noah was beaming from ear to ear at that point. "There's no next time? How about doing it now? I don't mind…"

"Fine! Take off your clothes then, Mr. Quincy." Madeline decided to go along with his prank and reached out to unbutton his shirt.

Noah quickly caught her hands and apologized to her, "Okay! I was wrong! I shouldn't pull your leg like that. Please forgive me."

"I should just let all your employees see what a lewd man you are!" Madeline snorted. Then, she pulled her hands free and headed toward the vineyard nearby.

Soon afterward, Madeline arrived at a hill at the edge of the vineyard, and the view instantly took her

breath away.

Red corn poppies covered the hills, and they went as far as the eye could see.

Madeline went up the hill and stopped halfway. Noah, who had mysteriously produced a picnic mat, caught up with her and unrolled the picnic mat on the ground.

"You're very well prepared, Mr. Quincy."

Madeline let out a chuckle and praised him.
