The Cherished Wife
Chapter 8
âLook at how kind Winter is to you, Noelle. How could youâ¦â
âF*ck off. I donât want to see you two.â It was only then that Noelle finally knew what Xavier thought
of her.
âDonât do this, Noelle. No matter what happens, weâre still family. Do you know how angry. Grandpa
was when he learned about what happened? Heâ¦. He wouldnât want bad blood between us sisters
over something as minor as this.â
Winter grabbed Noelleâs arm, tears streaming down her face as she said passionately, âYou know
just how much Grandpa loves you, Noelle. What happened is all my fault. Please come home with
me! Grandpa would be so upset if you didnât!â
Noelleâs sadness only intensified when she heard those words leaving Winterâs mouth. Grandpa?
So, you know how disappointed Grandpa would be as well. If you knew that, you should never have
done what you did in the first place. Why didnât you think about how sad Grandpa would be when
you did all this despite knowing Xavier was my boyfriend?â
âNoelle, donât you think youâre being too selfish?
âPlease, Noelle, Iâm begging you! You said yourself that Xavier was just your boyfriend. You two
werenât engaged, nor were you married. Itâs perfectly fine that I got together with him.â
âWhat did you say?â Noelle could not believe her ears. âSo that gave you all the grounds you
needed to steal my boyfriend from me?â
âItâs not like that, Noelle. We just couldnât stop ourselves,â Winter said as she took Noelleâs hand in
hers, speaking as if they were still children. âYou know how Grandpa is, Noelle. He said he wouldnât
approve of our marriage if you didnât return home with me. Come on, Noelle. Come home with me,
and tell Grandpa you donât like Xavier, alright?â
âThatâs enough. You two disgust me.â Noelle never imagined Winter would still not let her live her
life despite everything she had already done. âI wonât go home, and I couldnât care less about what
will happen to you and Xavier. Please leave immediately.â
Noelle shoved Winter aside and hurriedly retrieved her keys from her bag so she could unlock her
front door. However, Xavier hurried forth and grabbed the handle, a confused look in his eyes as he
gazed at Noelle. âCanât we part on good terms, Noelle? Do you really have to destroy my good
impression of you?â
Xavier had a pained expression on his face as if Noelle had done something terribly wrong to him.
âDonât feel so aggrieved. We were never engaged, and Winter and I werenât doing anything wrong
by getting together. Sheâs your sister. Why canât you be considerate of her feelings?â
Noelle felt a stabbing pain in her chest, which slowly spread to the rest of her body. Tears

welled in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself not to cry as she stuck her neck out
to stare into Xavierâs eyes.
She never imagined that one day, he would end up questioning her in this manner when she could
still recall how he had made all sorts of promises to her. âListen to yourself, Xavier Harris. What did I
not do well enough that warranted the two of you treating me this way?
âYou were the one who asked me to date you in the first place, and you promised you would never
betray me. That wasnât even that long ago, yet youâre asking me to be considerate of her feelings
now?
âWhat about me? Have you ever been considerate of my feelings?â
