Wife 7
The Cherished Wife
Chapter 7
After leaving The Majestic Lounge, Noelle hailed a cab to get home. She had moved out of her
childhood home a long time ago because of her messy relanship with her family and because it
made it easier for her to go to and come back from work.
When Noelle got out of the cab, she stood and stared dazedly at the neighborhood she lived in.
Xavier had helped her move out back then, and they even had plans to get engaged and then
married when the time was right. She never imagined the entire thing to be nothing more than a
joke and to be later reduced to nothing more than the âinstigator.
She felt like everything that happened yesterday was just a bad nightmare.
âAre you home, Noelle?â
When Noelle walked out of the elevator, she saw Winter standing by her front door with a worried
look on her face. Her brows knitted themselves together instinctively, and she was about to turn and
walk away when someone grabbed her arm. âNoelle.â
Noelle froze and tried shaking her arm free of Xavierâs grasp. However, he kept a tight grip on her
arm as he said, âWhere have you been? Winter and I spent the entire night waiting for you. Do you
have any idea how worried we were?â
âWorried?â Noelle scoffed as she looked up and gazed directly into Xavierâs eyes. âWould ever be
worried about me?â
you
âDonât do this, Noelle,â Winter said, her high heels clicking against the floor as she brushed. Xavierâs
arm away withou
batting an eyelid and held Noelle instead. âNoelle, I know this is our fault, but Xavier and I truly are
in love. You were gone the entire year and have no idea what he went through. I was the one who
stayed with him and took care of him, soâ¦â
âHah⦠You stayed with him and took care of him? Gosh. Thanks so much for taking care of Xavier
when you already knew he was my boyfriend. Do you have a conscience, Winter Shaw?â Noelle
roared. When she felt a sharp pain traveling up her arm, she frowned and instinctively shoved
Winter away.
Winter let out a scream as she stumbled backward.
Xavier hurried over and grabbed Winter by the waist. A disappointed look appeared on his face as
he swept his sharp gaze over Noelle. âThis is too much, Noelle. Winter and I might have wronged
you, but whatâs done is done, and weâve already gotten engaged. Why canât you accept the truth for
what it is?!â
âIâm not accepting the truth for what it is? Come on, you two are the ones who appeared on my
doorstep.â Noelle never imagined Xavier would ever point fingers at her because of Winter. âGet a
grip on yourself. Didnât I give you my blessings during your engagement party? Go ahead and get
engaged if thatâs what you want to do, and get married too for all I care. Just stay out of my sight.
You disgust me!â

Noelle screamed at Xavier and Winter, âGet the f*ck out of here right now!â
âNoelle, how could you do this?!â Winter cried, an aggrieved look on her face as she gazed at
Noelle as if Noelle was in the wrong instead of her. âXavier and I just wanted to set things. straight
with you. We had no intention of hurting you. We⦠Weâre justâ¦. truly in love with each
other.â
âTruly in love? Thatâs disgusting,â Noelle said as she gazed at Winter coldly. In the past, she merely
thought her sister had a weak personality, and she had always let Winter have her way because
she had saved her life once. However, that did not mean she would allow Winter to bully her
relentlessly. She recalled how Winter would always eye whatever Noelle wanted over the years.
âWinter, if youâre so committed to stealing someone elseâs man, you can have him. Iâm not
interested in trash.â
âYouâ¦â Xavier gave Noelle an exasperated look. He raised his hand and was about to swing it
toward Moelleâs face when someone else grabbed his hand.
Winter shook her head, her eyes teary as she wrapped both her hands around Xavierâs arm. â Donât
do this, Xavier. Noelle is still young and doesnât know what sheâs talking about. I donât blame her.â
