The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles)
Chapter 185

Chapter 185



Noelle bit her lip, unsure of how to explain. "It was a coincidence. I was drugged twice, and he saved me both times. Later, I found out he was my grandfather's student.

"Do you remember my grandfather's favorite student? The prodigy who finished all university courses at a young age and then went abroad?" "That's Charles? No way!" Rowena exclaimed, glancing at Noelle in astonishment. "You two are really fated! So, you married Charles because he was your grandfather's student?"

Noelle shook her head. "You know my situation. Besides my grandfather, the rest of the Shaws treat me terribly." Noelle then told Rowena and Teresa the gist of what had happened.

Rowena's eyes widened. "So, that's why you married Charles? This sounds so unreal. But the Shaw family members are truly awful. You're also a part of the family. How could they treat you like that?"

"That's not the main point. But is this truly what you want, Noelle?" Teresa was more concerned about Noelle's feelings. "I understand the Shaw family pressured you, so you chose Charles. But what about your feelings..."

"Teresa, I know what you're worried about. Feelings don't just come from nowhere. He treats me very well. With a man as exceptional as Charles, falling in love with him is inevitable, isn't it?" Noelle took a deep breath, unsure if she was comforting Teresa or herself. However, when she spoke of Charles, her heart started beating irregularly.

"As long as you know what you're doing." Teresa knew that although Noelle appeared soft, she was very resilient. "In the future, don't shoulder everything alone. You have me and Rowena."

"Yes. You have us," Rowena added while patting her chest. "But Noelle, you do have a knack for cunning plans."

Noelle was driving, and she glanced sideways at Rowena. "What do you mean?"

"You said Xavier's family is just a small branch of Charles' mom's large family, right? And by seniority, Xavier has to call you 'Aunt', right? Rowena chuckled. "Just imagine how furious Xavier and Winter will be when they replace out you're married to Charles."

Rowena's words made her feel vindicated. "When Xavier and Winter get married, their whole family will have to bow and scrape before you and Charles. Just imagining that scene is satisfying!"

Noelle had not considered that before. Thinking about it now, she smiled. "Maybe."

"Not maybe but definitely. Especially for Winter. Her facial features will probably twist in anger, right, Teresa?" Rowena turned to Teresa, who sat quietly in the back seat.

Teresa could not help but laugh.

"Now that you mention it, it is quite amusing. Xavier and Winter do deserve some comeuppance. They bullied Noelle so much before. Let's see them get their due when Charles puts them in their place!"
