Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Finnian’s handsome face showed a moment of thought. “I’ll ask her what she wants to do.”

‘Well, Kaia’s always been a bit aloof. In all the years you’ve been married, you can count the number of parties she’s attended on one hand. I guess she just isn’t a fan of crowds,” Noelle said, speaking as if she knew Kaia nside and out. “Of course, that probably has a lot to do with how she was raised. Top students are usually like that–a little full of themselves.” Finnian didn’t agree or disagree, but it was true that Kaia rarely participated in these kinds of private gatherings.

She hardly interacted with his circle of friends.

‘She is a bit reserved,” Finnian said flatly. “Not as outgoing and lively as

you.”

Noelle sighed dramatically, her eyes sparkling with charm. “That’s because the Sanders family raised me. You gave me so much love that I had no choice but to be outgoing.”

Finnian chuckled and nodded. “That might be it.”

Noelle’s tone turned breezy. “I’m going to get back to work then. We’ll head over together tonight.”

‘Sounds good.”

Sitting at his desk, Finnian picked up the landline and dialed Kaia.

‘It’s Julian’s birthday tonight. Do you want to bring Brynlee and come join the fun?” he asked casually.

“No, I promised Brynlee I’d take her to an arts and crafts class,” Kaia rejected him flat out.

“Alright.”

Chapter 51

Finnian hung up the phone. Between him and Kaia, there was always this mundane, old–married–couple vibe.

No matter how complex the issue, they could easily boil it down to a simple yes or no.

As evening arrived, the penthouse banquet hall at The Azure Spire came to life.

The venue was famous for its stunning panoramic floor–to–ceiling windows. This was where Julian Kendrick’s birthday party was in full

swing.

Outside the glass, the city’s neon lights glittered; inside, the room was filled with designer gowns, tailored suits, and clinking glasses, like a scene straight out of a dream.

As the most pampered grandson of the Kendrick family, the guests Julian invited were mostly young business moguls and socialites. Compared to a traditional corporate banquet, the atmosphere was much more relaxed

and vibrant.

Finnian and Noelle arrived together, timing their entrance perfectly.

Dressed in a bespoke midnight–blue suit, Finnian’s tall, athletic frame made him the most striking presence in the room.

Noelle wore a strapless cherry–blossom pink gown, the skirt catching the air like a breeze. It highlighted her elegant collarbones and delicate shoulders, her skin porcelain and flawless. Her slightly curled hair fell loosely over her shoulders, and every movement she made radiated the luminous, pampered charm of someone who had never known hardship.

The moment they walked in, they drew everyone’s attention.

Julian strolled over, champagne glass in hand, grinning. “Noelle, you look absolutely stunning tonight. You’re going to outshine everyone here. You’re so gorgeous I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Noelle covered her mouth with a light laugh, playfully scolding him. “Oh,

stop it. You’ve seen every beautiful woman in the city. You’re just teasing

me.”

As she spoke, she naturally leaned slightly toward Finnian. “Finnian, you have to control him. He never takes anything seriously.”

With a faint smile, Finnian took the champagne Julian handed him and smoothly passed it to Noelle first.

Noelle took it with a smile, took a delicate sip, and praised, “All the exhaustion from work just vanished.”

A few other men gathered around to chat. Finnian and Noelle weren’t overtly affectionate, but to outsiders, the natural chemistry between them created an invisible bubble that no one else could easily penetrate. After mingling for a bit, Noelle drifted over to her circle of close girlfriends, chatting about fashion and gossip.

Finnian, meanwhile, was surrounded by several young entrepreneurs and investors, deep in conversation.

Watching the scene unfold, some of the gossipy socialites couldn’t help but whisper among themselves about how Noelle had managed to secure her foothold in the Sanders family despite being a widow.

‘Did you see that? Mr. Sanders treats her like royalty… brings her everywhere.”

‘I heard Aethelstan is entirely under her control now. Wow, Mr. Sanders is really going all out for her.”

‘I heard a long time ago that the bond between those three is unbreakable. That Kaia woman might have been married into the family for years, but aside from giving him a daughter, she hasn’t made a single

wave…”

In the crowd, a man in an iron–gray suit was chatting with someone, but the women’s gossip drifted perfectly into his ears.

Chapter 51

Miles Kendrick tightened his grip on his wine glass, his eyes sweeping coldly over the gossiping women behind him.
