The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 185

Noelle bit her lip, unsure of how to explain. "It was a coincidence. I was drugged twice, and he saved me both times. Later, I found out he was my grandfather's student.

"Do you remember my grandfather's favorite student? The prodigy who finished all university courses at a young age and then went abroad?"

"That's Charles? No way!" Rowena exclaimed, glancing at Noelle in astonishment. "You two are really fated! So, you married Charles because he was your grandfather's student?"

Noelle shook her head. "You know my situation. Besides my grandfather, the rest of the Shaws treat me terribly." Noelle then told Rowena and Teresa the gist of what had happened.

Rowena's eyes widened. "So, that's why you married Charles? This sounds so unreal. But the Shaw family members are truly awful. You're also a part of the family. How could they treat you like that?"

"That's not the main point. But is this truly what you want, Noelle?" Teresa was more concerned about Noelle's feelings. "I understand the Shaw family pressured you, so you chose Charles. But what about your feelings…"

"Teresa, I know what you're worried about. Feelings don't just come from nowhere. He treats me very well. With a man as exceptional as Charles, falling in love with him is inevitable, isn't it?" Noelle took a deep breath, unsure if she was comforting Teresa or herself. However, when she spoke of Charles, her heart started beating irregularly.
