Chapter 271
The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles)
Chapter 271 The police officer noticed something was off. âCould you have made a mistake?â
âWhat do you mean, a mistake? Noelle is my girlfriend!â Xavier tried to make another call as hespoke, but the police officer took the phone away. âYouâre a funny one. Your girlfriend called thepolice and got you arrested for disruption? I think she might not even be your girlfriend! Or did youguys break up? Iâve seen plenty of scenarios like this. Also, whatâs a man like you doing at a younggirlâs house this late at night?â
âIt was just a small misunderstanding. We didnât break up, officer. Please give me the phone so Ican make another call!â
The officer said exasperatedly, âI can give you the phone, but I donât think you should be calling yourgirlfriend. Call your parents instead!â
Xavier took the phone and dialed Noelleâs number once again. The phone rang twice beforesomeone picked up. âHello?â This time, it was Noelle who answered. âWhoâs speaking?â
âItâs me, Noelle!â Xavier forced himself to suppress his displeasure as he asked, âWhoâs the manwho answered the phone just now?â
Noelle narrowed her eyes as she glanced at the number and then in the direction of the bathroom.She immediately jerked out of the sleepiness she was shrouded in and asked, âXavier Harris, haveyou lost your mind? Whatâs the point of using all these different numbers to call me in the middle ofthe night?â
âWhatâs the point? Noelle Shaw, who the hell answered the phone just now? How dare you call thepolice and report me for being disruptive! Noelle, weâ¦â
âEnough. Donât you realize how annoying you are? What sort of nonsense are you spouting so lateat night?! When did I call the police on you? Also, my man was the one who answered the phonejust now, but thatâs none of your business!â Noelle said impatiently before hanging up the phone andreturning to bed. However, her phone kept ringing nonâstop. Her temper flared up, and sheanswered the phone once more. âXavier Harris, arenât you done? When you chose to be with mysister instead of me, you should have known then that our relationship was over. Are you calling mein the middle of the night now because you donât have anything better to do? Is there somethingwrong with you? Iâm telling you now that weâre not together anymore, so you should stop calling meall the time!â
âMiss!â A manâs gentle voice rang out from the other end of the line. âIâm an officer from ProsperityDistrictâs local police station. May I know what your relationship with Mr. Harris is?â
Stunned, Noelle glanced at her phone before she responded, âOh, hello, officer. He is my eldersisterâs fiance. You may contact his fiancee if thereâs anything else you need.â
The officer was stunned upon hearing that, and he turned to look at Xavier as he chuckled. âAlright,thank you, Miss. Itâs nothing majorâsomeone called the police on him for being disruptive, so wecalled him to the station to help with the investigation!â
Noelle bit on her lip and got out of bed when she saw Charles coming out of the bathroom. Charleswalked over and balanced one hand on the mattress as he asked, âWhoâs calling this late at night?â
âAn officer from the local police station. Itâs nothing important!â Noelle said as she reached a handout to ruffle Charlesâ hair. âDry your hair so you can get a good nightâs sleep.â Then, she said to thepolice officer, âMy husband and I will be retiring for the night if there isnât anything else, officer.â
âOh, alright. We wonât keep you from getting your rest, Miss.â
The officer hung up the phone and turned to Xavier, a solemn look on his face. âMr. Harris, Ms.Shaw claims she isnât your girlfriend, but your fianceâs younger sister. How could you hit on yoursisterâinâlaw? And sheâs even married!â
