The Cherished Wife

Chapter 166



Winter tried to grab Noelle's hand, but Noelle dodged it smoothly.

A look of hurt crossed Winter's face. She gave Noelle a sad puppy-dog look and said, "Noelle, I know you're still mad at me, but—"

Noelle cut her off while stepping away from Winter with a smirk, "I'm not mad at you. What did you do that I should be mad over?" Winter was taken aback, not expecting that response. She bit her lip and looked over at Jade for help. Jade banged her hand on the table, saying, "What are you talking about? What could your sister have done to upset you? We should be the ones upset, not you."

Noelle just looked at Jade, not saying a word. However, the corners of her mouth twitched. Her clear eyes locked with Jade's, and without a word, Jade felt a chill run down her spine for just a second.

Jade stared at Noelle, giving her a sharp look. "Don't go thinking your parents are mean. You know the Yorks are a big deal in Brookville. Simon liking you is like winning the lottery, so don't miss out on your luck without even knowing it."
