Chapter 370 

Jade would not pass up such a chance and quickly agreed. She had been trying to figure out how to send Noelle away, but Noelle had agreed all on her own. Jade’s face broke into a relieved smile. “Alright, come with me!” 

She held Noelle’s hand tightly, as if worried she might back out. Noelle felt a chill and tried to pull away, but Jade’s grip was firm. “Dad, Grandpa, I’ll take Noelle now!” 

Noelle added, “Granddad, Grandpa, I’ll go with Mom for a bit and come back later!” She gave Charles another look. “Mr. Hoffman, see you later!” 

“Goodbye, Ms. Shaw!” Charles’s voice was clear and cheerful. 

Jade was determined to take Noelle away and did not even notice Charles’s gaze turn icy when she grabbed Noelle’s hand. If Noelle had not called out to him, he would probably still look as scary as before. Jade pulled Noelle out of the banquet hall and into the hallway. Suddenly, she let go of Noelle’s hand, and her face grew stern. “When I called you over, you brushed me off, didn’t you? I’m your mother. Do you really think I’d hurt you?” 

Noelle’s brow creased. “Mother, that’s a bit much. I didn’t mean it like that!” She did not want to argue. What did you want to talk about, calling me out here by myself?” 

Seeing Noelle’s meek and affected manner made Jade irritable, but she had pressing concerns. “Your sister and I are worried about you. She’s married now, so I’m concerned about your marriage.” 

Worried about her marriage? 

Noelle frowned but did not say much. 

She knew what kind of person her mother was after all these years. To Noelle, Jade was nothing more than her biological mother, and she could not allow herself to feel any love toward her. 

“I’m still young. There’s no need for you to worry about my marriage.” 

“What do you mean by that?” Jade frowned when she heard Noelle’s refusal. “I’m only thinking of what’s best for you. Look at yourself and cheer up. The man I’m going to introduce you to is the son of a friend my mom knew when she was young, and he’s a big deal. Listen to me. When you meet him, you need to speak to him properly and not cause any trouble!” 

Jade was insistent, saying it was for Noelle’s own good, but Noelle could tell Jade probably had some scheme in mind. She did not like Jade’s meddling. It seemed like Jade was either trying to get rid of her to neutralize the threat to Winter, or maybe the Shaw family wanted to use her like a chess piece because this man was supposedly important. 

Either way, Noelle was not having it. “Mom, maybe you didn’t understand me. I don’t want to go on blind dates right now, and I definitely don’t want to get married!”
