Immediately Noelle saw the news, she quickly brought out two suitcases she had packed earlier from the wardrobe.


    In her slippers, she hastily left the bedroom and descended the stairs.


    Cyrus had positioned bodyguards by the door to ensure her safety.


    As she approached, the guards promptly moved toward her.


    “Miss Shaw, Mr.


    Simmons isn’t at home.


    He suggested that you should rest and recuperate.


    You can go out once you’re fully recovered.


    ”


    Noelle felt disheartened.


    “He promised to let me go out after the engagement, but he hasn’t kept his word.


    I can’t stay cooped up in the room doing nothing every day.


    It’s like a prison sentence.


    ”


    The bodyguards remained steadfast.


    “Miss Shaw, we really can’t allow you to leave, or he will be furious upon his return.


    We’ll risk losing our jobs.


    Please return inside.


    ”


    Her anger red.


    “I’m not some toy to be locked up in this vi and denied the freedom to go out!”


    The standoff persisted, and at that moment, Cyrus’s car pulled up at the door.

    The tion of their engagement impelled him to take her by the waist and ki*s her.


    “Noelle, we’re engaged.


    We’ll be married soon and start a family.


    Does that make you happy?”


    Noelle pushed him away, and with a gloomy expression, returned to her room.


    Perplexed, Cyrus nced at the two bodyguards and inquired, “What’s the matter with her? Did you upset her?”


    The bodyguards respectfully bowed to him and exined the events that had transpired a few minutes before his return.


    A little whileter, Cyrus entered her room.


    Noelle sat near the window.


    Her attention was on a drawing board in front of her and there was a hint of annoyance on her face.


    “Noelle, my intention was never to confine you here.


    I simply wanted you to have more rest while I handle our engagement matters.


    Now it looks like you’ve almost recovered.


    I’ll dismiss the guards at the vi gate.


    You’re free to go out if you wish.


    ”


    Noelle’s dull eyes gradually regained their spark.


    She asked with astonishment, “Truly? You’d let me go out?”


    Cyrus nodded.


    Her excitement grew.


    “I appreciate your understanding, Mr.


    Simmons.


    However, my intention isn’t just to go out for leisure.
