The Cherished Wife
Chapter 130
âWow! Theyâre beautiful!â
A tinkling voice interrupted the sales attendant. âI saw them during fashion week and heard. that
theyâre the works of Cox. They looked so beautiful on Aubrey, and I wanted them the minute I laid
my eyes on them. I didnât know they were available for purchase in Brookville
now!â
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 Winterâs 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, â Noelle! My
goodness, are you shopping here as well, Noelle?â
Winter walked over and put on a look of sisterly love on her face as she grasped Noelleâs hands.
âNoelle, have you been very busy lately? Why havenât you been visiting?â
Noelleâs eyebrows rose so high they nearly disappeared into her hairline when Winter grasped her
hands. She removed her hands from Winterâs grip and smiled. âItâs been a while. Are you here
shopping with your friends?â
âThatâs right.â Winter smiled. âThese are my friends who youâve met before. Do you remember
them?â
âYes, I remember them.â 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. âWell, I wonât keep you guys from your shopping for any longer!â
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 âdisappointment! However, those feelings did not last long as she tore her gaze away
and said, âItâs getting late, and I have work tomorrow!â
âNoelle!â Winter reached out to grab Noelleâs hand. âAre you still mad at me? I know Xavier and I
have wronged you, but itâs been so long since everything happened. And at the end of the day,
weâre sisters, which is a truth that can never be altered, can it?â

A sad look seemed to creep across Winterâs features as she continued speaking, âMom and
Dad
are really worried because of how long youâve left home, and Grandpaâs health hasnât been at its
best recently. You can be mad at me, but you should visit them, Noelle!â
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 coldâblooded person.
Upon realizing Noelle was not responding, Winter added, âIf you really donât want to see me that
badly, you can call ahead when you wish to go home and Iâll leave the house. Noelle, 1-â
your
âEnough!â Noelle frowned. âWhether I go home or not is up to me, and itâs none of business. Have
you done something that requires you to avoid me? Does your conscience hurt?â she said as she
sneered.
âYouâ¦â Winter had a look of hurt and disbelief on her face as she gazed at Noelle. âNoelle, how
could you say that? XâXavier and I are in love. Why bother badgering him if he doesnât have any
feelings for you?â
âThatâs 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?â
Annie chimed in abruptly, her every word evidently attempting to frame Noelle as a homewrecker.
