The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 688

Janet's obsession with him could be understood as a problem in her head. What she could not have was what she desired the most.

It was because she could not attain him that she desperately tried to. However, what about the Bakers? Janet was fixated, but in such a large family, it was impossible for every member to share her obsession.

The only explanation was that they were also trying to achieve a certain goal through Janet. The fact that Janet had the support of the Bakers suggested that they, too, wanted something from him.

"You probably won't be able to return to Phoenix Tree Residence for a while," Charles informed her.

"Yeah, I know," Noelle responded. Although her tone did not reveal any particular emotion, Charles sensed her mood had taken a dip.

Indeed, Noelle felt a bit down. While she understood the reasoning behind all of this—it was meant to prevent unnecessary trouble—she had trouble coming to terms with it.

Noelle forced a small smile and could not help but think about how she had become so sentimental. She had always been somewhat sentimental but never to this extent.

"Are you upset?" Charles asked.

She shook her head. "I'm not upset. Well, I guess I won't be going back to Phoenix Tree Residence after work today. Fortunately, I still have the apartment I rented before, so I'll go back there later and settle in. Also, Charlie?"

"Yes?" Charles, though not comfortable with the situation himself, asked gently. "What is it?"

"Nothing." Noelle shook her head but then realized he could not see her and added, "I'll miss you."

"Mhm, be patient. Once this period passes, you can come back," he reassured her.

"Okay."

After ending the call, Noelle let out a heavy sigh. "Come on, Noelle Shaw. Pull yourself together. There's nothing you can't get through."
