Chapter 141 I Love You
Noah stopped in his tracks, his figure tall and indifferent.
He abruptly turned around to stare at Gwen and sneered with a hint of mockery in his cold eyes.
"Marriage?"
"Miss Kent, when did we have an engagement?"
Gwen's heart skipped a beat, and she widened her eyes.
"As far as I understand, an engagement should be based on mutual consent. Unfortunately, I don't
believe we possess such conditions!"
"Noah, you..."
"In the future, it's better to address me as Mr. Martinez." Noah sneered. "Miss Kent, we are not familiar
enough for you to call me by my name!"
With that, he turned around sharply, leaving Gwen standing dumbfounded in place.
His figure gradually disappeared from her sight.
Gwen clenched her teeth, tightly gripping her skirt as her heart felt like it was weighed down by a huge
stone.
She took a deep breath, calming herself slightly, and then walked into the study.
Pater's face was also gloomy.
Gwen noticed the shattered tea set on the floor and the discarded dragon-headed cane.
Just by looking at these, she could tell that a fierce argument had just taken place between Pater and
Noah.
In this situation, Gwen didn't want to get involved. She was about to offer some polite words of comfort
and leave when she suddenly heard the sound of a vibrating phone on the coffee table.
"Grandpa, this..."
Pater glanced at it. "Probably Noah left it here. Gwen, why don't you take it to him?"
Gwen was eager for this opportunity and quickly smiled in agreement.
"When you see him, try to persuade him," Pater said lightly and then raised an eyebrow at her. "Gwen,
I know you are a magnanimous girl. You won't hold any grudges against him, right?"
Gwen was taken aback.
She had vaguely heard a few words at the door just now, something about a mistress...
Could it be that Pater was hinting to her that even if she were to marry Noah in the future, Noah would
have a mistress?
Gwen bit her lip and forced a smile.
"Grandpa, you know me. I'm not someone who meddles in other people's affairs. As long as Noah is
happy, I can accept everything about him."
"Really?"
"You have raised Noah so well, so it's impossible that no one else likes him! Grandpa, if Noah truly has
someone he likes, he can keep her by his side in the future. Ha, which rich heir isn't a playboy? It's
better for him to be with a lady who can keep him, rather than being chased after by some
unscrupulous female celebrities!"
"Furthermore, a marriage alliance is a matter between two families." Gwen poured him another cup of
tea."Grandpa, for the sake of the family's interests, I won't make a big deal out of it."
Pater nodded approvingly. "I didn't misjudge you. You are indeed suitable for Noah."
"Grandpa, you flatter me."
A fire seemed to burn in Gwen's heart, but her smile remained radiant on her face.
Soon, she went out to deliver Noah's phone.
The phone, which had stopped ringing, suddenly started again.
Gwen slowed her pace, and the screen displayed an unfamiliar number without a name. However, her
intuition told her that this number was extraordinary.
Noah was so familiar with the number that he didn't even need to save it as a contact. What kind of
relationship did he have with it?
A surge of hatred rose in Gwen's heart. Just as she was about to answer the call, a deep voice
suddenly came from behind her!
"What are you doing?"
Gwen was frightened, letting out a scream.
She turned around and met Noah's cold and ruthless gaze, his sharp features appearing exceptionally
indifferent in the darkness.
"Noah, haven't you already..."
Noah didn't waste any time talking to her and directly snatched the phone from her hand.
Gwen froze in place, not daring to even take a breath. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He glanced at her and coldly asked, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
She snapped back to her senses, her legs trembling as she stumbled backward.
But she didn't leave. Instead, she continued to follow behind Noah.
She saw with her own eyes as Noah dialed the number back. Soon, the call connected. The
surroundings were quiet as she heard a sweet voice clearly.
"Darling!"
Gwen tightly clenched her clothes.
Meanwhile, Noah spoke to the person on the other end with gentleness. There was even a smile in his
eyes.
"Are you home?"
"Of course! I've been good while you were away, and I closed up shop early and came back."
"What did you have for dinner?"
"Spaghetti."
"How could you eat that?" Noah's voice was low and husky, filled with indulgence. "That's clearly my
specialty dish!"
Stella playfully whined on the other end, "Well, since you weren't here, I only wanted to eat that..."
Noah lightly smiled.
"Darling." Stella paused for a moment before asking, "When will you come back?"
"Do you miss me?"
She denied it firmly, "No!"
He just smiled and didn't say anything.
After a while, Stella couldn't hold back anymore and softly said, "Just a little bit..."
Noah continued to smile without saying a word.
In the end, Stella surrendered. "Alright, I admit it..."
"I miss you, really miss you."
Noah's heart melted.
"As soon as things are finished here, I'll go back immediately."
"When will it be finished?" Stella whispered, "Also, don't forget our agreement. Don't push yourself too
hard during the competition, don't get hurt, and don't..."
"Don't let other women touch my muscles..." he replied preemptively.
Stella froze for a moment, covered her mouth, and secretly laughed on the other end.
"Stella, be careful by yourself at home with everything." Noah was worried.
Although he knew that the people arranged by Andrew wouldn't make any mistakes, his heart couldn't
be relieved as long as he wasn't by Stella's side.
"Before going to bed, remember to check the water and electricity, and make sure to turn off the main
switch before leaving." He gave detailed instructions, "Also, lock all the doors and windows, hang my
clothes on the balcony, and place a pair of my shoes by the door. That way, others will know there's a
man in the house."
"Yeah, I know!"
"Don't just open the door for anyone!"
"Darling, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Noah chuckled. In fact, some of the life experiences were taught by her.
"Oh, by the way, Darling, I'll be picking up my mother from the hospital tomorrow." Stella said, "After
she comes back home, I'll go over to take care of her regularly."
"Yeah, I know." He whispered, "Don't worry. From now on, I'll take care of Mom together with you."
"Darling..."
Although he had never met his mother-in-law, he always called her "Mom".
Stella's heart warmed, and she softly said to him, "It's getting late. You should rest early."
"Okay." Noah was reluctant to end the call. "You should also go to sleep early."
"Hey, Stella..."
"What's wrong?"
He licked his lips, his voice deep and husky. "Say goodnight to me."
Huh? Stella paused for a moment. "Goodnight."
Noah smiled with satisfaction. "Do you know what 'goodnight' means?"
"It means I love you."
