The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles)

Sean curled his lips into a smirk. "They're indeed a joke, but it has nothing to do with you," he said, hinting at the group downstairs. "Honestly, I'm curious. Are they really your family?"

It was not that Sean was overly suspicious; it was just that Noelle seemed so different from the rest of the Shaws. She seemed completely out of place, which made him question it. The way they treated her only deepened his curiosity. Noelle gave a helpless smile. "As you can see."

In truth, she also found it unbelievable and could not fully understand it herself. It was not surprising that Sean would have such doubts. "Let's go down."

Winter caught a glimpse of them from the corners of her eye and quickly said, "Actually, I think Noelle and Mr. Smith make a good match. Since Noelle brought Mr. Smith home today, she must've thought about it carefully. Maybe this marriage is already settled!" Winter added with a smile, "This would put your mind at ease, Mom. After all, you've been worried that Noelle would be left all alone after I got married."

While speaking, Winter gave Jade a meaningful look. Jade immediately caught on. "Yes, seeing you marry Xavier while Noelle remained single made it hard for me to eat or sleep. After everything that happened, Noelle went through so much. Now that she has found a good match, I can finally stop worrying."

Noelle could not help but sneer inwardly, thinking that Jade and Winter truly deserved Oscars for their performances.

Winter noticed Noelle and Sean

coming downstairs and quickly stood up. "Noelle, Mr. Smith, have you been here for a while?" Winter looked a bit embarrassed. "We were just talking about you with Mom and Xavier."

"Oh, really?" Noelle replied while holding Sean's arm. Her once restrained gaze now bore a hint of mockery.

She stared directly at Winter, the

corners of her lips curling into a beautiful smile. At that moment, Winter had the unsettling feeling that everything she did was nothing more than a joke in Noelle's eyes.

Winter's expression stiffened. "Yes. Mom was just saying that she was worried about seeing you all by

that she's arranged such a

wonderful match for you and seeing how well you and Mr. Smith get along, both Mom and I feet reassured."

Winter approached Noelle with a smile, but her gaze was fixed on Sean.

She had seen Sean before at the hotel. However, at that time, Winter was entirely focused on Xavier as she was obsessed with separating him from Noelle.

She had not paid any attention to 'Bob'. Now, looking at him again, she could not help but notice the natural air of nobility that surrounded him-something not everyone possessed.

Her heart skipped a beat, and with a slight blush, Winter turned to Sean. "Mr. Smith, hello. Do you remember me? We met last time."

Sean's eyes held a mischievous glint as he gazed at Winter, his eyes lingering on her face with a hint of amusement.

"With someone as striking as yourself, it's hard not to remember."
