Just call me Mrs Noah

Riley

Xavier's eyes widened in shock He quickly leaned back to avoid her kiss. Riley on the other was also unsure of where her sudden rush of courage came from, She stood up on her tiptoe and tried to kiss him once more.

She held onto his shirt tightly, unwilling to let go or even looses her grip in the slightest. Xavier pushed her away with some force, and said with his low and deep voice,

"Riley, you don't know what you are doing!".

"I do! I'm very clear about it!". Riley replied as she continued pressing close to him without giving up. Her bright eyes stared straight at him.

"Xavier, tonight I will either stay here with you or return home with you! You choose!". The night obscured many things from sight, but it could not cover the determination in her eyes. Xavier stared at her for half a beat.

Riley returned his gaze without hesitation, Xavier did not reply to her but suddenly threw his suit jacket on her body, This was his direct way of answering.

Seeing his silent reply, Riley's eyes burned a little. He was clearly mad at her, yet he still treated her so well. She really resented the cold and brutal heart she had in the past.

On the road back to the Noah's villa, Riley sat in Xavier's car, Her snow- white hands were currently playing with the car's seat belt.

Occasionally, her eyes moved to the side, drawn to the man driving quietly next to her. The lights on the road flashed red past the window, His thin and clear eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Looking back on everything that she had done, based on Xavier's family background and everything he had already achieved, he could have left her alone at home and gone out to play with any female idol or famous Woman of his choice.

However, he never seemed to give any other woman a second glance. She suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence in the car,

"Noah family's chauffeur doesn't seem to show up often. Do you always drive yourself home?".

"Occasionally."

"You didn't sleep much yesterday, After working for the whole day, don't you feel tired?". Hearing this, Xavier glanced at her.

His eyes seemned to be saying That he could not sleep yesterday, was it not all because of her? Riley looked away immediately, her ears slightly warm.

"What I mean is, you shouldn't ignore your health for work. Next time when work ends, come straight home to rest...". Before she could finish her words, a large truck sped towards them from the road ahead.

Even when turning it did not slow down, As though its brakes were not working, It headed straight towards them-

"Watch out!". Riley called out in a panic. Xavier had already turned the car in the other direction, avoiding the truck heading toward them. The screeching sound of the tires rang loudly.

Riley had been playing with her seat belt earlier causing her not to have protection against the sudden movement. Her body fell forward while her head knocked against the front of the car.

It hurt to the point where she could not help but calI out in pain.

"Does it hurt?". Xavier immediately reached his hand over, carefully checking Over her reddening forehead.

"Ss.. Don't touch it!". Riley flinched, pushing his hand away from her forehead. Xavier pressed her down to stop her from moving as He rubbed the back of her head, sternly forcing her to turn her whole head around for him to check.

He saw that her wound didn't seem light, It was already swelling up causing her eyes to redden with the pain this made him frown.

"Did it hit very badly? Is it very painful? Do you feel dizzy?".

"Pain..". Riley softly called out. To be honest, it had only smashed into the front of the car for a moment.

There would most likely only be a bump tomorrow so She had not planned on whining too much about it. However, when she caught a hint of worry and heartache in his eyes, she could not help but want him to spoil her.

Xavier's concern felt very much like a place of belonging. A husband who was close to her, whose heart would ache for her, was really so lovely.

"I'm sending you to the hospital". Xavier compelled her to sit properly, redoing her seat belt for her this time. Hearing the word hospital, she immediately felt fear. She rushed to press her hands against herforehead, saying,

"It's not actually that serious and it's already so late. Let's not trouble the doctor." Xavier did not give her any chance to refuse, warning her with his eyes to not move around.

"I'm really fine.." She softly suggested the nearby family clinic but was ignored by Xavier who directly sent her to the hospital. Xavier was only willing to send her home after medication was applied on her forehead.

The doctor confirmed that the redness would reduce after a few days and that there was not even the slightest bit of concussion. When they returned home, Auntie Shu glanced at the obvious bump on Riley's forehead and rushed forward with worry.

Riley was supported to sit in the couch as though she was frail to the point where even wind could knock her down.

"Miss, what happened? Does it

hurt?". Riley smiled.

"It's all right, I just bumped onto it for a moment. It'll be fine after two days."

"Ahhhhh, why is it so swollen? Did you let a doctor check on it?".

"Already did so earlier." Auntie Shu nodded, suddenly noticing her surrounding It was only then that she realized that Riley seemed to have returned home with the Big Boss? Riley also looked up at Xavier, seeking him to speak to the helper on the side for a moment before walking in to return her gaze.

"Auntie Shu, in the future you should just call me Mrs. Noah or Madam, both work". Riley took the opportunity to declare before Xavier came back.

Auntie Shu first seemed surprised, before looking though she was about to celebrate with joy.

"Yes, Madam! Mrs. Noah!". It seemed like Miss had finally thought things through and was willing to live happily with Mr. Noah!. Earlier on, they even returned home together!. Auntie Shu was about to begin preparing supper happily but Riley glanced at the time and stood up saying,

"You should go rest. I'll prepare supper."

"Ah? Mrs...?" Auntie Shu looked at her in surprise. A rich young lady like Riley, how could she possibly know how to cook?

Previously, she could not even take the slightest bit of smoke or smell of oil.

"Your head has a wound, what Supper are you going to make? Just Return to your room and sleep early!". Riley finally walked back.

Riley did not reply, turning to speak to Auntie Shu and the other helpers,

"It's already late. All of you can go to rest." Auntie Shu originally wanted to say more, but seeing how Mr.Noah had returned, she quietened down, nodding her head before leaving the living room.

"You probably haven't had dinner. It's already so late, cooking noodles will be easy. Wait for me for a while." She glanced at Noah before turning away she spoke.

As she walked past him, Xavier held onto her wrist, eyeing her suspiciously, unsure if she was joking.

"You know how to?". Riley's lips quirked up. Right now, she was actually confident of her cooking skills, but she did not intend to boast.

"I can't promise that it will taste good, but it will definitely be cooked all the way through." Xavier eyed her wound and saw that it did not look very serious. Although he did not intend to let her enter places like the kitchen, seeing how she seemed So excited, he did not want to ruin her rare moment of excitement.

As he let go of her wrist, Riley could still feel the lingering warmth from his palm. It was clean and warm, lingering on her skin and giving her a strange sense of security.
