The Cherished Wife

“Mom!” Winter, on the verge of tears, clung to Jade. “What do I do? Xavier still loves Noelle…”

Jade’s eyes were icy. She despised Noelle deeply too. “You’re overthinking it. You’re engaged to Xavier. Why worry about Noelle?”

“But it’s just an engagement, not a marriage. You know how Xavier is…” Winter’s grip tightened in frustration. “I don’t care. He has to be mine!”

Even though she initially got close to Xavier to steal him from Noelle, she fell for him after spending so much time together. She was so happy with Xavier, and if Noelle was not in the way, Xavier would have surely fallen for her too.

“Mom, can you help me, please?” Winter put all her hope in Jade. ” Noelle isn’t with Xavier anymore, so why does she keep hanging on to him?”

Jade saw the photo on the ground, her face turning stormy and fierce. The face from her memories and Noelle’s face merged in her mind, and Jade clenched her teeth. “Winter, don’t worry. I won’t let you go through what I did back then. That woman…” Without realizing it, Jade squeezed Winter’s arm so hard that Winter gasped in pain. “Mom? Mom!”

Jade snapped out of it, looking a bit embarrassed. Winter was confused. She hardly ever saw Jade like this. “Mom, what were you talking about when you say, ‘back then‘? What woman?”

“It’s nothing!” Jade’s eyes darted away, and she gave Winter’s shoulder a reassuring pat. “I’ll take care of this for you,” Jade said. “Winter, if you’re worried, why not just go ahead and marry Xavier right away?”

“Marry him?” Winter gasped, her eyes wide. “But I…” She wrung her hands, feeling stuck. “My career’s been on pause, and after all my hard work to sign with Royal Star Entertainment, I’m just about to start

Entertainment and Xavier.

Her mom gave her a knowing look. “Honey, those rumors that went around about you did affect your reputation a bit. Think about it if you and Xavier tie the knot, you’ll be the talk of the town! You two look great together, so there’s nothing to worry about. Plus, Royal Star This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Entertainment will eat up the chance to spin your wedding into a media frenzy. They’d love that kind of buzz!

Winter chewed on her lip, a lightbulb going off. “You’re right, Mom!” She had been so wrapped up in her nerves that she missed the forest for the trees. “But what about Xavier?”

Jade’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “Even if Xavier’s got a soft spot for Noelle, what does it matter? You think they stand a chance?” She scoffed. “Leave it to me. I’ll handle everything. Just give me the go- ahead, and I’ll make sure your wedding is a dream come true.”

“Mom, I knew I could count on you,” Winter said with a relieved smile.

Jade was always quick to act, making sure her words turned into actions. She worried that if Xavier and Noelle got back together, all their hard work would be for nothing.

Without wasting a moment, Jade called Joseph’s wife, Emilia Lindsey. Emilia was the kind of mom who did not engage in business dealings but always kept a close eye on her son’s life. When Jade mentioned she wanted to talk about their kids getting married, Emilia perked up.
