Chapter 270


    Thendlord was fast on his feet, but the police were faster. When they saw Xavier looking like a


    mess, they did not hesitate to take him away.


    Xavier was pretty drunk, but he could still think straight. The sight of two cops made him a bit more


    alert.” I’m just looking for my girlfriend. What’s going on? Let go of me!”


    “Girlfriend? You’re out here making a scene in the middle of the night. People say you’ve been


    hanging around here a lot. And hey, I recognize you! Didn’t we just bring you in for questioning the


    other day?”


    One cop remembered Xavier right away after seeing him like this. The other cop nced over and


    said, Yep, it’s you. Let’s go. You’re making too much noise, and it’ste. You know that’s not


    allowed, right?” The cops did not wait for an answer before they took Xavier with them. He did not


    want to go and kept yelling for Noelle, “Noelle,e out! Tell them I’m your boyfriend, Noelle!”


    After spending two hours at the police station, Xavier finally started to sober up. A cop noticed and


    said, Hey, we got a call about you causing trouble. Remember that?”


    Xavier looked upset. “Did she call you? I wasn’t causing any trouble. She’s my girlfriend. You can


    call her and check. I’m telling the truth!”


    “Fine. Call her, then,” the cop said, giving Xavier a look. “Go ahead. Maybe she’lle get you.”


    Xavier’s face fell. He pulled out his phone but then paused. “Could I use your phone?”


    The cop gave him a doubtful look, and Xavier, feeling embarrassed, ran his fingers through his hair.


    “My phone’s dead.”


    The police finally gave him the phone, and Xavier quickly called Noelle’s number.


    Noelle had just finished a tiring encounter and was lying on Charles, feelingpletely worn out.


    Charles gently yed with her hair, getting ready to pick her up, when Noelle’s phone rang again.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Charles narrowed his eyes to see the caller ID showing an unknown number, then nced at


    Noelle. She looked at him and asked, “Who is it?”


    “Some unknown caller. Are you tired?” Charles pecked her on the lips. “Rest here for a bit. I’ll carry


    you to the bath soon.”


    Noelle, feeling sleepy, nodded and murmured in agreement.


    Charles answered the phone, and Xavier’s voice came through, “Noelle, you’re finally picking up?


    Why do you have to do this? We just had a fight. It’s bad enough you wouldn’t let me in, but did you


    have to call the cops on me? Noelle…”


    Charles’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Noelle, who had already fallen asleep quickly. He gently


    put her down, about to walk away, but Noelle caught his hand. ‘Where are you going?”


    Her voice was groggy, obviously still half asleep. Charles smiled softly, caressed her forehead, and


    whispered, “It’s okay, go back to sleep. I’m not leaving.”


    “Who are you? Why are you with Noelle?” Xavier’s voice shook with anger as he heard a guy’s


    friendly tone and Noelle’s muffled words. Gripping his phone tightly, he demanded, “Tell me who you


    are!”


    Charles just squinted and hung up without a word.


    Xavier’s eyes zed with fury as he red at his phone, wishing he could make it explode with his


    stare. Seeing the call had been cut off made him even more upset. He tried calling back, but nobody


    picked up, and it just rang and rang.
