Chapter 1268

Noelle calmly replied, "If possible, I'd rather not return to Liddell Manor. I'd like to visit Mrs. Greene Senior tomorrow to pay my respects." Carl slowly clasped his hands together and said, "Fine. I'm not that unreasonable, after all. Feel free to tell me your thoughts or preferences." "Thanks." As Noelle lowered her head and continued eating, Blake leaned over and whispered, "Shouldn't you be thanking me instead?" "Thank you, too," Noelle replied and turned her head to look at him. Truthfully, if Blake hadn't spoken up earlier, Carl probably wouldn't have agreed so easily. Across the table, Carl watched Blake whispering to Noelle and felt a twinge of irritation. He'd helped Noelle, yet all he received was a perfunctory response. After the meal, Lucas approached Noelle and said, "I bought some fireworks. Would you like to come out and play?" Noelle glanced at him and said, "I'm a little tired now, so I think I'll head upstairs and rest." "Go get some rest then," Blake said.
