Chapter 31 Once Noelle entered the cab , Matildas call came .
Get home right now .
Matilda then ended the call without waiting for a response .
Noelle had no objections to that .
Her original plan was to return to the Swanson residence anyway .
Evidently , Matilda was one of sheer exasperation .
Noelle had barely set foot inside the house when the former delivered a vicious slap .
The impact was so forceful that it sent Noelles hair once neatly tucked behind her ear flying , followed by a ringing buzz in her ears .
Do you know what youve done ? Matilda thought the slap wasnt enough and was ready to deliver another one .
Right then , a deep voice sounded and interrupted her movement , Stop it .
Matilda frowned , and her hand eventually dropped .
When she looked up , she saw the person descending the stairs .
The man was dressed in a neatly pressed shirt and a gray waistcoat , his hair showing strands of white .
Yet , his posture remained straight , and his face showed no sign of age .
Noelle watched as Craig pulled Matilda to the side .
Shes not a kid anymore .
Whats the use of hitting her ? Do you think I want to ? Look at what shes done ! Matilda gritted her teeth at Noelle .
You were against me when I said Sandra shouldve married Hendrix back then .
Now , youre divorcing him ? Are you trying to make our family into a joke ? Enough .
Take a deep breath Craig appeared much calmer compared to Matildas hysteria .
After consoling Matilda , he turned to Noelle .
Come with me to meet the Freemans now .
Once you apologize to them , Ill forget today ever happ Im not going with you .
Noelles answer was resolute .
Craigs gaze dimmed .
What do you think youre doing , Noelle ? This isnt a rash decision .
The divorce is something Ive been contemplating for a long time .
Well , have you tried talking to us about this ? Do you think your marriage only concerns the two of you ? You should know your limit , Noelle ! Craigs tone turned solemn at that point , and his naturally sharp , commanding presence made one unable to refute him .
Yet , Noelle merely stood and stared at him .
Ive made up my mind .
As for salvaging the family interests … Well , thats your problem to solve .
If it comes to the worst case scenario , remember that you still have another daughter .
Sandra happened to return home at that very moment .
Noelles words made her heart pound in excitement , but she feigned shock .
What are you saying , Noelle ? Noelle flashed her a faint smile .
Shouldnt you be elated that you can marry Hendrix ? Matilda interjected , Never ! Are you nuts , Noelle ? Hendrix is her brother in law ! You honestly want our family to be a joke , dont you ? +25 BONUS Chapter 31 Her statement paled Sandras countenance slightly .
She muttered , Mom … Stay out of this ! Matilda harshly interrupted her , then turned to Noelle .
So , did you do all this today to vent your frustration ? Is it because you think were biased toward Sandy ? In that case , you should reflect on yourself .
Try thinking about why everyone adores her and not you .
