The Cherished Wife

Wife 130

Chapter 130

“Wow! They’re beautiful!”

A tinkling voice interrupted the sales attendant. “I saw them during fashion week and heard. that they’re the works of Cox. They looked so beautiful on Aubrey, and I wanted them the minute I laid my eyes on them. I didn’t know they were available for purchase in Brookville

now!”

Noelle froze when she heard that voice. Sure enough, Winter stepped into the store. She was followed by two other women who Noelle had met previously. They were all part of Winter’s posse and frequently caused her trouble.

Noelle frowned and instinctively turned around to leave. However, Winter would not allow that to happen. She let out a cry of surprise, acting like she had just seen Noelle as she said, ” Noelle! My goodness, are you shopping here as well, Noelle?”

Winter walked over and put on a look of sisterly love on her face as she grasped Noelle’s hands. “Noelle, have you been very busy lately? Why haven’t you been visiting?”

Noelle’s eyebrows rose so high they nearly disappeared into her hairline when Winter grasped her hands. She removed her hands from Winter’s grip and smiled. “It’s been a while. Are you here shopping with your friends?”

“That’s right.” Winter smiled. “These are my friends who you’ve met before. Do you remember

them?”

“Yes, I remember them.” How could she not?

Noelle tugged the corner of her lips upward as her gaze landed on Winter and her two friends. She recalled that one was named Annie Adams, while the other was named… What was her name again? Suzy Atherton!

Noelle tilted her chin slightly. “Well, I won’t keep you guys from your shopping for any longer!”

Noelle had not forgotten about the existence of one more person in that shop. She could not let Winter know she was in a relationship with Charles now. She instinctively glanced toward where Charles was but did not catch sight of him.

A stunned look appeared in her eyes. She wondered if he had left because of what she said to him just now.

Noelle could not describe the emotion she was feeling, but if she were to put a name to it, it would probably be ‘disappointment! However, those feelings did not last long as she tore her gaze away and said, “It’s getting late, and I have work tomorrow!” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Noelle!” Winter reached out to grab Noelle’s hand. “Are you still mad at me? I know Xavier and I have wronged you, but it’s been so long since everything happened. And at the end of the day, we’re sisters, which is a truth that can never be altered, can it?”

A sad look seemed to creep across Winter’s features as she continued speaking, “Mom and

Dad

are really worried because of how long you’ve left home, and Grandpa’s health hasn’t been at its best recently. You can be mad at me, but you should visit them, Noelle!”

Noelle sneered to herself as she listened to what Winter had to say. If she had not known that Winter was talking about her, she would have been under the impression that Winter was talking about some cruel and cold–blooded person.

Upon realizing Noelle was not responding, Winter added, “If you really don’t want to see me that badly, you can call ahead when you wish to go home and I’ll leave the house. Noelle, 1-”

“Enough!” Noelle frowned. “Whether I go home or not is up to me, and it’s none of business. Have you done something that requires you to avoid me? Does your conscience hurt?” she said as she sneered.

“You…” Winter had a look of hurt and disbelief on her face as she gazed at Noelle. “Noelle, how could you say that? X–Xavier and I are in love. Why bother badgering him if he doesn’t have any feelings for you?”

“That’s right! Gosh, Noelle, you really need to know when to stop. Xavier and Winter are deeply in love with each other, and they make a perfect match. Why are you trying to sabotage their relationship?”

Annie chimed in abruptly, her every word evidently attempting to frame Noelle as a homewrecker.
