The police officer noticed something was off. “Could you have made a mistake?” “What do you mean, a mistake? Noelle is my girlfriend!” Xavier tried to make another call as he spoke, but the police officer took the phone away. “You’re a funny one. Your girlfriend called the police and got you arrested for disruption? I think she might not even be your girlfriend! Or did you guys break up? I’ve seen plenty of scenarios like this. Also, what’s a man like you doing at a young girl’s house this late at night?” “It was just a small misunderstanding. We didn’t break up, officer. Please give me the phone so I can make another call!” The officer said exasperatedly, “I can give you the phone, but I don’t think you should be calling your girlfriend. Call your parents instead!” Xavier took the phone and dialed Noelle’s number once again. The phone rang twice before someone picked up. “Hello?” This time, it was Noelle who answered. “Who’s speaking?” “It’s me, Noelle!” Xavier forced himsel

Noelle did not feel like going back to bed after hanging up the phone, so she grabbed a towel to begin drying Charles’ hair. “Why didn’t you wake me up just now?” When she thought about how she had somehow managed to fall asleep despite how sticky her body was, she added, “Didn’t you say you would help me clean up?” “You were fast asleep!” Charles said, the look in his eyes gentle as he reached up to take Noelle’s hand. “I can do it myself!” However, Noelle shook her head. "Let me help you!” Then, she added, “Xavier probably got himself into some trouble, so he used another person’s phone to call me,” she said ruefully, “How did I never notice the kind of person he was?!”Charles smirked, and he chuckled when he heard the obvious displeasure in Noelle’s voice. “What kind of person is he?” “I don’t feel like talking about him,” Noelle said, feeling frustrated. “I just don’t understand why he keeps coming back to rile me up when he’s already decided to get together with Winter i

Naturally, the meeting between the two mothers was a pleasant one. As Emilia gazed at Winter, who had dressed elegantly and refined that day, her impression of Winter improved. A wave of guilt washed over her when she recalled what her son had done the previous night, especially when she took note of how polite and demure Winter was. All the dissatisfaction she previously had felt toward Winter vanished into thin air. The two mothers were pleased by the idea of this marriage and immediately agreed upon it. Emilia proposed the third day of the next month as an auspicious date to get married. Jade did some mental calculations. There were about forty days left before the suggested date, so she felt less worried. “Are we both in agreement on that? “Yes, of course. I think matters concerning the wedding should be left up to us women. What do you think, Mrs. Shaw?” Emilia knew her son was probably still reeling from what had happened, and there was no way this responsibility could be h

Noelle racked her brains. She had indeed gotten caught up in a few incidents recently, but it was unlikely her grandfather would know about them. She had kept everything a secret from him because she did not want him to worry. “Grandpa, who have you been listening to lately?” “Your mother visited today and brought up the topic of your sister and Xavier getting married!” The tone of Sebastian’s voice did not sound pleasant, and he seemed to be in a foul mood as well. Noelle felt her eyelid twitch. “My mother dropped by today?” She bit down on her lip before asking, “What else did she talk about besides Winter and Xavier’s wedding?” Sebastian asked exasperatedly, “Did that old geezer, Samuel Shaw, transfer ownership of his shares to you? What on earth is that old coot trying to do? Why does he feel the need to drag you into the mess of the Shaw family?”He sounded extremely displeased with Samuel, so Noelle hurriedly said, “Don’t be angry, Grandpa. That’s not what he intended!”

Charles was a sweet talker, and Sebastian was not an unreasonable man. He knew his limits, and after all, this was Charles, his former student.He knew what sort of character Charles possessed. Otherwise, he would not even have bothered introducing him to Noelle a couple of months before. Back then, he had hoped a relationship would blossom between the two and only stopped willing it to happen when Noelle refused.He was not expecting Charles and Noelle to become an item of their own accord after he gave up trying. When he heard the respectful way Charles spoke to him, all the anger Sebastian previously felt completely dissipated. However, he felt the need to put on an act. “Hmph, don’t think this sweet talk can fool me! I’m telling you, you’d better provide me with a proper explanation. I’m sure you know the kind of temper that I have!” “Of course, I will, sir. I’m sure you know the sort of character I am, sir!” Charles finally managed to cajole Sebastian. He glanced at Noel
