Chapter 585 This Is My Wife
Noah frowned and closed the room door.
Mr.Charles seemed slightly worried as he glanced at the closed door, hoping that Yvern would not overthink the situation.
A few minutes later, Yvern came out dressed in a fresh set of clothes.
She asked Noah, “Can I help you, Mr.Quincy?”
Noah opened his mouth, preparing to ask her about Colt, but stopped himself and instead said, “Sorry, I entered the wrong room.”
Did he enter the wrong room with his butler? Yvern did not believe it, but she did not ask any further questions.She was dependent on Noah now, so she should behave like one.
Noah’s unease kept on growing.He gave Madeline a call.
“Did something happen to Colt?”
Madeline could tell something was amiss when she received Noah’s call so early in the morning.
Noah could instantly tell that Colt did not return to Maple Forest Villa.
The trip would have taken him less than an hour, so Colt should have reached there by now.
“I didn’t see him when I woke up in the morning.I’m going out to look for him now.”
Noah regretted not pursuing the topic last night when he witnessed Colt’s unnatural reaction.He did not know why Colt wanted to go to Yvern’s room, nor did he know how Colt left the house.
“I’ll come over now.”
Madeline knew it was not the time to throw tantrums.
Her priority should be searching for Colt.
After hanging up, she turned her head and saw Mackenzie and Thomas staring at her.
“What happened to Colt?” Thomas asked.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered how Colt reacted when they met for the first time.He regretted letting Colt stay over at his father’s house the day before.
They were triplets, and they could do anything together.
Thomas wondered if Colt would think he was closer to Mackenzie than to him.
“Mommy, did Daddy spank Colt?” Mackenzie asked.Her eyes were filled with tears.
Madeline’s heart skipped a beat.So Noah caused all the bruises on Thomas’ bottom? Has he lost his mind? I couldn’t imagine him laying a finger on Zeke! “Colt might have run away from home.I’m going to look for him.”
Madeline was in a hurry to go to the Quincy residence.
Mackenzie and Thomas also quickly made preparations.
Mackenzie handed Madeline her car keys and said, “We want to help you find Colt too.”
Madeline considered that the children were closer to Colt and might have an idea where he went, so she did not stop them from coming along.
After they got into the car, Thomas and Mackenzie tried to contact Colt with their secret method, but Colt did not answer.
Thomas knew from Madeline that Noah did not know how Colt left the house.
He thought hard for some time before exchanging glances with Mackenzie and saying confidently, “I know how Colt left the house.”
Forty minutes later, Madeline’s car was parked outside of the Quincy residence.
Thomas brought Madeline in front of a wall.
He tapped some bricks in a particular sequence, and a door appeared in the middle of the wall.
Beyond the door was the villa’s storeroom, which stored many of the children’s toys.
The three people searched the storeroom but did not find Colt.
Madeline asked Jacob to search the surveillance records.
It took him a long time for him to find a silhouette that appeared briefly in the security feed, but he could not tell if it was Colt.
“He’s evading the security cameras,” Jacob concluded.
Madeline was certain that Colt had been abducted.
If Colt wanted to run away from home, he would have gone to look for her.He did not have to deliberately evade the security cameras.
Noah received the notice from a bodyguard and quickly met up with Madeline.His heart wrenched when he saw Madeline and the two children looking impassively at him, and he quickly walked up to
them.
“Did you say Colt went to Yvern’s room before he went missing?”
Madeline went straight to the point.
Earlier, she had ordered Albert to track down the figure in the security footage.She had also found out more about Yvern from Thomas, who told her what they saw at the bar.
Noah also told her more about the woman.She was not interested in all of that.
All she wanted to know was what Yvern wanted from Colt.
“I don’t think Yvern knows that Colt went to her room,”
Noah concluded from Yvern’s expression when he went into her room earlier.
Madeline glared at Noah coldly before leading the children into the villa.
No one was going to stop her today.She was going to interrogate the person who had last seen her son.She’d better pray that Colt’s disappearance has nothing to do with her.
Mr.Charles shot a glance at Noah.
You should keep your mouth shut.
See, now you’ve caused a misunderstanding.
Noah did not take the hint from Mr.Charles.
He did not ask Yvern about Colt because he did not want to alert her, but it looked like he could not persuade Madeline.
All he could do was order Wayne and his subordinates to intensify the search for the boy, and find him before anything happened.He also thought that Colt was abducted too.
Yvern was in good spirits today.She did not stay in her room, instead, she dressed up and went to the garden.
At that moment, she plucked a peony in mid-bloom.
“Hey! Keep your hands away from Mommy’s flowers!”
Thomas was furious at the sight of that woman.
Yvern shuddered involuntarily at the sudden disturbance.
The flower fell onto the ground.
Madeline looked at her from head to toe.
She had to admit Yvern’s features were perfect, and she somehow found the woman to be familiar.
“Thomas, she’s your father’s guest.You should mind your manners,” Madeline said.
Thomas glared at Yvern with hostility before returning to Madeline’s side.
Noah’s heart wrenched again when he heard that.
Madeline was keeping a distance from him.
“Mr.Quincy, this is…”
Yvern barely talked to Noah.She knew nothing about him other than his name.
Of course, no one knew if that was truly what she only knew.
“This is my wife, and they are my children,” Noah said coldly. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Yvern smiled at Madeline upon the sudden realization.
“You might have misunderstood, Mrs.Quincy.There’s nothing between Mr.Quincy and me.Mr.Quincy helped me and took me in, and I…”
Madeline lifted her hand to interrupt Yvern.
“Did you sleep well last night, Ms.Trentmann?”
Yvern grimaced awkwardly and replied, “I get nervous easily, so I’m usually a light sleeper.”
She knew she had bags under her eyes, and she would be lying if she said she slept well.
“So that means you must know my son went into your room last night.”
Madeline stared at Yvern’s expression closely, trying to spot a flaw, but Yvern was a master actor.
Madeline could instinctively tell Yvern was hiding something, and she trusted her instincts that there was something fishy about her.
“I heard the room door open at about five o’clock in the morning, and I vaguely saw a child’s silhouette enter the room and stand in front of my bed for some time.I thought he was sleepwalking, so I didn’t rouse him,” Yvern answered Madeline’s question.
“Albert, let’s bring her home.”
Madeline did not have the patience to probe any further.She ordered Albert to capture her.
Noah took a step forward, but before he could say anything, Madeline glared murderously at him.
