The Cherished Wife

Chapter 107

Rowena could not believe how much had changed since they last met. “What’s Xavier trying to do? Getting engaged to your sister while being with you? What’s his plan now?”

“What else can he do? They want me to go back to the Shaw family and practically beg Grandpa to give them his blessing,” Noelle said, her eyes dimming. Even after all this time, it was still tough for Noelle to think about.

Rowena was fuming. “No way! Did you give them a piece of your mind? The more I think about it, the madder I get. Why do they get to be happy and carefree while you’re dumped and depressed?”
