Wife 21

Chapter 21

An odd look appeared on Joseph’s face upon hearing what Noelle said. He directed his stern. gaze onto her. It only made her sit up straighter, seemingly not at all afraid of his gaze.

Noelle raised an eyebrow. If there was anyone left in the Shaw family she still cared for, that person would definitely be her grandfather.

He noticed she had not said anything, so he added, “It’ll be his birthday in a couple of days, Noelle. No matter what Xavier and Winter have done, you’re still part of the Shaw family, and your grandfather will always remain your grandfather.”

“Don’t
