The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 

Rowena could not believe how much had changed since they last met. What’s Xavier trying to do? Getting engaged to your sister while being with you? What’s his plan now?” 

What else can he do? They want me to go back to the Shaw family and practically beg Grandpa to give them his blessing,Noelle said, her eyes dimming. Even after all this time, it was still tough for Noelle to think about

I can’t believe it. Xavier is such a jerk! How did I never see it before? And Winter, that sneaky girl, has always been doing things behind your back! But she’s gone too far now by stealing your boyfriend!” 

Rowena was fuming. No way! Did you give them a piece of your mind? The more I think about it, the madder I get. Why do they get to be happy and carefree while you’re dumped and depressed?” 

Rowena was about to storm off when Noelle caught her hand. Hold on a second. I need to answer this 

call.” 

Noelle looked down to see hubbyon her caller ID. A surprised expression bloomed on her face. Rowena saw it too and teased, Look at you! You actually have a husband!” 

Noelle shot Rowena a look and picked up the phone. Hello?” 

It’s me!Charles’s voice came through. When are you coming home from work?” 

Noelle hesitated. IYou might need to figure out your own dinner tonight.” 

Huh?Charles’s voice grew serious, and his displeasure was evident. What do you mean? Do you have plans with someone?” 

Yeah. I’m out with a friend right now!Noelle said, glancing at Rowena. Rowena leaned in and whispered, Invite your husband to join us!” 

Noelle gave Rowena a sideways glance. Cut it out!” 

Huh?Charles sounded puzzled. A friend? Is it a guy or a girl?” 

Hey, Noelle, I want to meet your husband!Rowena complained. You’re married, right? I’m your best friend, so you’ve got to show me if he’s cute or not. If he’s not, we’ll find you someone way better than that jerk Xavier!” 

Yes, he’s cute. Rowena, please stop,Noelle replied, feeling a bit helpless. My husband is really 

handsome, alright?” 

Charles did not say a word during this argument

At the other end of the line, his eyes sparkled with laughter, and his lips curled into a slight smile

Noelle suddenly realized Charles was still on the phone. Had he heard everything

Her cheeks turned pink. UmMy friend’s just being silly. Don’t listen to her.” 

Mmhmm.Charles’s voice rose a bit. She’s your best friend, so you guys should spend some time together. Okay, Nelly?”
