What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 339

Those words hit her like a bucket of ice water, chilling her straight to the bone.

She stared at the man across the table. Unbelievably, he wore a smug, self-satisfied smirk.

"My mother says that if we're going to take this any further, I need your Astrological birth chart. She wants to take it to a master to have it checked. If there really is a curse, we need to know so we can try to break it..."

"That's enough!" Noelle shrieked, shooting up from her chair. Without missing a beat, she grabbed her glass of ice water and hurled it violently into Warren's face. "Are you completely out of your mind? Weaponizing someone's tragic past against them—is that what you call sincerity?"

Dripping wet and utterly shocked, Warren froze.

He hurriedly snatched a napkin, aggressively wiping the water from his eyes and face. "Ms. Lawrence! Use your words! What is wrong with you? Do you have violent tendencies on top of everything else?"

That was the final straw. Noelle crossed her arms, her gaze turning absolutely murderous. "Are you actually here for a date, Warren?"

"Obviously! Why else would I waste my time here?" he snapped, his face thunderous.

"If you're here to court me, then why are you calling me cursed and demanding to have my fortune read? What the hell do you think I am? I have never met a man who respects women less than you do."

Warren's expression shifted, slightly defensive. "I was just making conversation..."

"Conversation?" Noelle cut him off viciously. "You casually bring up the deaths of my father and my late husband, and you call that conversation? You're a disgusting jerk."

Noelle was trembling with volcanic rage. If she thought she could physically overpower him, she would have slapped him across the face right then and there.

Growing up pampered in the Sanders household, she had never been subjected to this level of blatant humiliation.
