Chapter 273 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 wakeup 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 helpclean 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. "Lethelp you!" Then, she added, "Xavier probably got himself into strouble, 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 rileup when he's already decided to get together with Winter instead!" The fact that he told the police officer she was his girlfriend made her find the entire thing even more inappropriate.

Noelle gazed at Charles and bit her lip. "That didn't affect your mood, did it?" "Nope!" Charles frowned slightly. “He doesn't hold that sort of power over me!" He took Noelle's hand and patted the space beside him, signaling for her to sit down. She obediently took a seat beside Charles, and he reached out to place her head on his lap before he began gently massaging her temples. "Did that wake you up?" Noelle nodded. "I was still so sleepy just now, but I can't fall asleep anymore!" Though Xavier did not affect Charles' mood in any way, Noelle was not as steadfast as Charles was, and her mood had been somewhat affected.

Noelle felt annoyed and closed her eyes as she allowed Charles' hands to move across her temples. As her mood slowly improved, she heard the man's deep and reassuring voice ring out from above her head. "No need to be bothered by what he thinks. Change your number if you don't want to be in contact with him. After all, you won't be returning to Frotconn!" After giving it sthought, Noelle answered, "Looks like that's the only way to go about things." Then, she gritted her teeth. "It's so annoying!" “What's there to be annoyed about?” Charles, on the other hand, was not bothered. "Don't worry. He won't charassing you after this." "Why not?" Noelle asked curiously as she opened her eyes, her gaze meeting Charles' sparkling eyes. She asked curiously, "How do you know he'll stop botheringafter this?" Charles smirked. "Take a guess." Charles curved his finger upward, and Noelle sat up to press a kiss against the corner of his lips. "You can tell me, can't you?"

"He won't have tfor you anymore," Charles said as he gently maneuvered Noelle to lie back down." Xavier will be getting lectured by his dad Joseph now. I know what sort of man Joseph is. There's no way he'll let Xavier off the hook so easily. As long as Winter still holds the shares to City Ring Corp. and is loved by the Shaw family, Joseph will never give up on his plan to get Xavier and Winter married."

As Charles spoke, Noelle's eyes flew open as she gasped in realization, ΟΠ "Yes, that's the sort of man Joseph O ist in the past, he had been supportive of her and Xavier dating because he thought she

was the family's favorite. Then, when he learned she had no status to m speak of within the Shaw family, he of had her booted out of the picture and got Xavier and Winter to date each other instead. X
