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 isnt at home. He suggested that you should rest and recuperate. You can go out once youre fully recovered.
Noelle felt disheartened. He promised to let me go out after the engagement, but he hasnt kept his word. I cant stay cooped up in the room doing nothing every day. Its like a prison sentence.
The bodyguards remained steadfast. Miss Shaw, we really cant allow you to leave, or he will be furious upon his return. Well risk losing our jobs. Please return inside.
Her anger flared. Im not some toy to be locked up in this villa and denied the freedom to go out!
The standoff persisted, and at that moment, Cyruss car pulled up at the door.
Cyrus hurriedly exited the car and approached her.
The elation of their engagement impelled him to take her by the waist and kis her.
Noelle, were engaged. Well be married soon and start a family.
Does that make you happy?

Perplexed, Cyrus glanced at the two bodyguards and inquired, Whats the matter with her? Did you upset her?
The bodyguards respectfully bowed to him and explained the events that had transpired a few minutes before his return.
A little while later, 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 youve almost recovered. Ill dismiss the guards at the villa gate. Youre free to go out if you wish.
Noelles dull eyes gradually regained their spark. She asked with astonishment, Truly? Youd let me go out?
Cyrus nodded.
Her excitement grew. I appreciate your understanding, Mr. Simmons.
However, my intention isnt just to go out for leisure. I aspire to pursue my acting career. You and Lucinda have mentioned that I am a renowned actress, and Im eager to enhance my skills.
