The Cherished Wife

The Shaws typically held the celebration on New Year's Eve, but this year, they switched to celebrating New Year's itself, all to accommodate Winter.

Since it was her first year being married into the Harris family, she was expected to spend New Year's Eve with them. Julian and Jade decided that the family would celebrate New Year's itself from now on. Noelle did not mind. New Year's was New Year's. If she had a choice, she would have preferred not to go back at all.

However, as a member of the Shaws and out of respect for Samuel, she knew she had to be there no matter how reluctant she felt.

Knowing she could not return empty-handed, Noelle went shopping for gifts to bring to the Shaws. However, since her relationship with Charles had not been made public, they could not go out together. Charles did not feel comfortable letting her shop alone, so he called Sean to help out as the designated "porter".

To call Sean a porter was putting it nicely. He was essentially dragged over to do all the heavy lifting. Given how much Charles pampered Noelle, he was not willing to let her carry even one bag.

Sean, on the other hand, felt truly pitiful, like he had reached a new level of misery.
