The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268 

Charles’s fingers hit the decline button, but Xavier kept calling back. Charles’s eyes swirled with an icy anger. He just let the phone keep 

ringing, holding it tightly. 

Noelle came out of the shower and saw Charles with her phone. “What’s up?” 

Charles just lifted an eyebrow and handed her the phone. Noelle saw who it was, frowned, and declined without a second thought. She looked at Charles and started to say something, but the phone interrupted her, ringing again. Noelle’s frown got deeper as she declined again. Before she could get a word out, Charles asked, “Didn’t you think to grab a towel for your hair?“. 

Noelle paused, watching Charles’s tall silhouette head inside the bathroom. She bit her lip as he came back with a towel, signaling her to 

sit down. 

Noelle hesitated. “Um…” 

“Come over here!” Charles called out, not even glancing at the buzzing phone that displayed Xavier’s incoming call. Noelle felt a bit unsure about what Charles was thinking, but she walked over and sat down quietly. 

Charles’s long fingers gently combed through her hair, soothing her. Noelle’s heart raced. She was not sure why she felt so nervous. 

It would be easier if Charles would just say something. 

The silence between them felt heavy. Noelle bit her lip, about to speak, when the phone rang again. It was Xavier. Annoyed, she hit the reject button and then blocked his number. Finally, peace! “Won’t you say something?” she asked.

Noelle paused, then realized he did not have a reason, Charles was not the type to see Xavier as a threat. Not at all 

Noelle let out a sigh. “I have no idea why he’s calling me!”
