Chapter Wife 7
The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles)
Chapter 7 After leaving The Majestic Lounge, Noelle hailed a cab to get home. She had moved out of herchildhood home a long time ago because of her messy relanship with her family and because itmade it easier for her to go to and come back from work.
When Noelle got out of the cab, she stood and stared dazedly at the neighborhood she lived in.Xavier had helped her move out back then, and they even had plans to get engaged and thenmarried when the time was right. She never imagined the entire thing to be nothing more than ajoke and to be later reduced to nothing more than the âinstigator.
She felt like everything that happened yesterday was just a bad nightmare.
âAre you home, Noelle?â
When Noelle walked out of the elevator, she saw Winter standing by her front door with a worriedlook on her face. Her brows knitted themselves together instinctively, and she was about to turn andwalk away when someone grabbed her arm. âNoelle.â
Noelle froze and tried shaking her arm free of Xavierâs grasp. However, he kept a tight grip on herarm as he said, âWhere have you been? Winter and I spent the entire night waiting for you. Do youhave any idea how worried we were?â
âWorried?â Noelle scoffed as she looked up and gazed directly into Xavierâs eyes. âWould ever beworried about me?â
you âDonât do this, Noelle,â Winter said, her high heels clicking against the floor as she brushed. Xavierâsarm away withou batting an eyelid and held Noelle instead. âNoelle, I know this is our fault, but Xavier and I truly arein love. You were gone the entire year and have no idea what he went through. I was the one whostayed with him and took care of him, soâ¦â
âHah⦠You stayed with him and took care of him? Gosh. Thanks so much for taking care of Xavierwhen you already knew he was my boyfriend. Do you have a conscience, Winter Shaw?â Noelleroared. When she felt a sharp pain traveling up her arm, she frowned and instinctively shovedWinter away.
Winter let out a scream as she stumbled backward.
Xavier hurried over and grabbed Winter by the waist. A disappointed look appeared on his face ashe swept his sharp gaze over Noelle. âThis is too much, Noelle. Winter and I might have wrongedyou, but whatâs done is done, and weâve already gotten engaged. Why canât you accept the truth forwhat it is?!â
âIâm not accepting the truth for what it is? Come on, you two are the ones who appeared on mydoorstep.â Noelle never imagined Xavier would ever point fingers at her because of Winter. âGet agrip on yourself. Didnât I give you my blessings during your engagement party? Go ahead and getengaged if thatâs what you want to do, and get married too for all I care. Just stay out of my sight.You disgust me!â

âNoelle, how could you do this?!â Winter cried, an aggrieved look on her face as she gazed atNoelle as if Noelle was in the wrong instead of her. âXavier and I just wanted to set things. straightwith you. We had no intention of hurting you. We⦠Weâre justâ¦. truly in love with each other.â
âTruly in love? Thatâs disgusting,â Noelle said as she gazed at Winter coldly. In the past, she merelythought her sister had a weak personality, and she had always let Winter have her way becauseshe had saved her life once. However, that did not mean she would allow Winter to bully herrelentlessly. She recalled how Winter would always eye whatever Noelle wanted over the years.âWinter, if youâre so committed to stealing someone elseâs man, you can have him. Iâm notinterested in trash.â
âYouâ¦â Xavier gave Noelle an exasperated look. He raised his hand and was about to swing ittoward Moelleâs face when someone else grabbed his hand.
Winter shook her head, her eyes teary as she wrapped both her hands around Xavierâs arm. â Donâtdo this, Xavier. Noelle is still young and doesnât know what sheâs talking about. I donât blame her.â
