The Cherished Wife

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."

Xavier chased after her. "Noelle! You

"Stop it, Xavier!" Noelle's expression turned stormy. She could have put up with him talking about her, but when he started on Charles, she could not hold back.

In her heart, Noelle knew Charles was tough to warm up to at first and not easy to get along with. However, whenever she was in trouble, Charles was the one who always came to her rescue.

Even though Charles had his own reasons for getting close, it was true that he had never done anything to hurt her. Besides, Charles was the kind of guy who had everything, so she had to stand up for him. "He's not a bad guy like you're making him out to be."

Xavier was boiling with anger, and it could not even put it into words. The mere thought of Noelle with another guy, doing those things, drove him crazy. He grabbed Noelle's

about yourself? How could you do this to me?"

"Stop it, Xavier. You've lost it! Let me go!"

Xavier dragged Noelle into the elevator and pushed her so hard she slammed into the wall.

Noelle bit her lip, scared by how mad Xavier looked. "What are you trying to do? Xavier, I'm warning you, don't you dare do anything stupid."

"Who is he? Did anything happen between you two?" Xavier could not think of anything else. His head was filled with the thought of Noelle with some stranger, and he could not stand it. Noelle was his, always had been. "Tell me!"
