Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 516

Chapter 516

“Who I hang out with is none of your business! At least I’m not out here being a homewrecker and getting knocked up. You’re repulsive.” Chloe was entirely convinced that the baby Noelle was carrying belonged to Finnian. A widowed sister-in-law pregnant with her brother-in-law’s child? In the old days, she’d be drowned in a pig basket for that.

“Are you quite finished?” Noelle’s face darkened, her eyes glaring viciously at Chloe.

“If you have the guts to do it, you should have the guts to let people talk about it. What’s your problem?” Seeing her mother frantically winking at her to stop, Chloe just tilted her chin up, huffed, and stomped back

upstairs.

Pearl rushed over to smooth things over. “Noelle, your sister and her friends have been practicing dance lately. They’re planning to open a dance studio for adults, they aren’t just fooling around.”

“Mom, do you even know what kind of women take adult dance classes? You should really look into it. It’s just a bunch of cheap bimbos,” Noelle said, her arms crossed and her tone dripping with contempt.

Pearl was speechless.

Noelle suddenly stood up and grabbed her bag. “Forget it, I’m not eating breakfast here. I’ll grab something on the way.”

With that, she walked out and drove off in her Bentley.

She headed to a breakfast spot she used to frequent with Finnian and Rafael. It was quite busy at this hour. The owner recognized her when she walked in. Noelle sat in her usual spot, tasting the familiar food, but her heart felt completely hollow.

A sweeping sense of loneliness washed over her, making her feel as though the entire world had abandoned and forgotten her.

She barely took a few bites before leaving.

The Aethelstan Tower looked the same as always, its glass exterior gleaming coldly in the morning light.

When she pulled into the underground garage, she found an SUV parked in her reserved spot. Her face darkened as she was forced to park in a neighboring space.

She smoothed her hair and checked her makeup in the mirror before taking the elevator up.

The young receptionist at the front desk was startled to see her and quickly stood up. “Ms. Lawrence, you’re here.”

Noelle nodded at her and headed straight for Dr. Gordon Hayes’s office. Along the way, several people greeted her, their eyes instinctively dropping to her slightly rounded belly before darting away.

She was here today to handle the handover. There were a few documents that required her signature. Since Gordon had taken over, most of her authority had already been transferred, leaving only a few procedural loose ends.

Once she wrapped up her business at Aethelstan, she had to head over to the main corporate headquarters. As she drove toward The Sanders Tower, her heart beat a little faster.

They hadn’t seen each other in days. What was Finnian doing right now?.

Did he miss her at all?

Noelle used to be incredibly confident, but now, she felt completely unsure of herself.

These past few days without seeing him felt agonizingly long. She missed him terribly. She wanted to hear his voice and feel his gentle, protective care just like before.

Noelle felt like she was genuinely going crazy. She was hopelessly in love

with Finnian, far more intensely than she had ever been before. In the past, she might have weighed her options, but ever since she took over Aethelstan, Finnian had gone out of his way to guide her, support her, and serve as her ultimate safety net. Every single action he took only made her more obsessed with him. Finnian was bolder and more capable than Rafael ever was. A man that powerful and exceptional was exactly what she wanted to possess.
