The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles)

Noelle shrugged. "Nothing, really. You mentioned it's cold, so let's buy some clothes. Come on!"

She and Teresa each took one of Rowena's arms and led her toward the women's section. "Teresa and I both think your outfit today is just way too plain." "Plain?" Rowena gasped, glancing down at her outfit. "What's plain about it? I think I look great."

Noelle's lips twitched as she looked Rowena up and down. Rowena had short, slick hair and was wearing a practical outfit that made her look... very masculine.

It was not bad, but it lacked any trace of femininity. It seemed more like she was ready for action at any moment rather than out for a fun day.

Rowena was always carefree, so her outfit was not necessarily wrong for her. However, since Noelle had received a call from Rowena's mother, she could not ignore it. "Isn't your birthday coming up soon? Let's go, I'll get you a gift!"

As soon as Rowena heard the word 'gift', she perked up and happily followed Noelle. However, she could not help but bring up, "By the way, a lot must have happened while I was away. I just got back, and I already heard that your husband was caught in a scandal with Winter.

"I mean, seriously, are those people blind? Would your husband have such bad taste that he'd be interested in someone like Winter?"

Noelle chuckled, amused by Rowena's righteous indignation. "That was a while ago. You're only bringing it up now?"

"I just got back! What really happened?"

"It's nothing." Noelle waved it off. "It's all pretty much resolved now."

"Exactly," Teresa chimed in to help ease the tension. "No need to stress about it. Let's go check out the clothes!"

"Holy crap!" Rowena exclaimed as

she realized where they had ended up-right in front of Saint Di. She

turned to Noelle with wide eyes. "Are you really going to buy me

something from here?"

"What do you think?" Noelle laughed. Technically, she was not officially the owner of Saint Di yet since no one knew about her marriage to Charles. "Come on!"

Even though it was still only the third day of the new year, the mall was buzzing with people and filled with festive energy.

When the staff at Saint Di spotted

the three entering the store, they immediately rushed to greet them.- One sharp-eyed salesperson noticed Noelle was wearing one of their brand's pieces and immediately started showering her with compliments and introducing the latest items.

Rowena, who could be loud and chatty herself, was not one to tolerate others being overly chatty with her. She waved them off. "We're just browsing on our own, thanks."

She then pulled Noelle aside. "I'm telling you, these clothes aren't my style. Should we go look for something that suits me better?" Rowena did not speak loudly, but it was enough for the staff to hear. They then quickly shifted their attention to other customers instead.

Noelle sighed, slightly exasperated. "Rowena, at this rate, how are we supposed to shop?"

"Well..." Rowena started to reply, but her words trailed off as she spotted someone approaching from across the store.

Frowning, she muttered under her breath, "Ugh, just my luck!"

Noelle followed Rowena's gaze, and the moment she saw who was coming, she could not help but agree. Rowena was not wrong at all-it was bad luck. Who would have thought they would run into Winter on a good day like this?

Winter had not expected to see Noelle either, especially as she was out shopping with a group of wealthy women. That included Xavier's mother, Emilia.
