The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 157

Noelle had wanted to earn Xavier's affection through her own hard work, so their romantic relationship was a secret to almost everyone. She never imagined that a single mistake would turn into a weapon for Xavier and Winter to use against her.

Only their families knew the truth about them, but to everyone else, it was a mystery.

Winter, a celebrity in the spotlight, had an engagement party with Xavier that drew in hordes of media. The story that Noelle had come between Winter and Xavier seemed to be confirmed.

Noelle did not know who had managed to keep the story quiet in the end, but she was sure she would be left with the blame.

Her eyes darkened as she locked eyes with Xavier. "What's done is done, and I can't change the past. But please don't come looking for me from now on unless it's work-related, especially not for these insignificant things!"

"What's not important?" Xavier was puzzled. He and Noelle had been so tight before, and she used to say yes to everything. Now, she was cutting him off with sharp words, and he just could not figure out why.

"We were a couple before. You can't just forget that. Now, we're in-laws, and that means you can't push me away even more. Noelle, you need to see the truth. I'm just trying to look out for you!"

"That's enough, Xavier. Have you lost your mind?" Noelle snapped back, her laugh sharp with fury. "If you're not right in the head, go see a doctor. Look out for me? I don't need it. Just take care of Winter and leave me alone."

Noelle felt if she kept talking to Xavier, she would get twisted up by his crazy talk. "I don't have time for this nonsense."
