Chapter 3 Revered Visitor

"Get the hell out! You are not welcome here! The nerve of you to come back here after so many years! Damn you, Noah! You so shameless!" Hazel stood with her hands akimbo as she blocked the way in.

Julian Pierce, Noah's father-in-law, who was standing a few feet away, echoed, "Noah, if you're sensible, you had better leave now. We're expecting a distinguished guest here today. I warn you not to create a scene here and spoil everything. Get lost before I lose my cool!"

"Yeah, get lost! Don't even dare make any trouble. Otherwise, you'll regret it." Hazel's voice became louder and sharper.

A slight frown appeared on Noah's face. He was angry, but he restrained himself from blurting out the words he had at the tip of his tongue.

The only reason why he suppressed his anger was that these two hostile people were Charlotte's parents. He had to put up with them.

However, Hazel thought that he was too spineless to defend himself or retort. His silence made her even more arrogant. She pointed at his nose and continued, "How typical! You are such a loser that you don't even know what to say. Son of a bitch, how dare you show up here uninvited? Gosh! Don't you know you are just a piece of shit?"

Just as Noah's temples began to throb and he balled his fists silently, a roar of an engine came from behind.

Everyone looked up just as a new and flashy BMW X7 pulled up in front of them. A chubby man got out of the car and looked around with his lips turned up with discontentment and arrogance.

As soon as Hazel saw him, she hurried forward to greet him, ignoring Noah.

Another person even pushed him away from the entrance like he was some pest.

"Oh, my God! Cody, you are finally here! We have been looking forward to your arrival." Hazel was all smiles again. It was as if she had changed to a different person.

"Cody, our joy has known no bounds since we were informed of your coming. Charlotte went out briefly, but she will be back soon. How about you come in and have a seat? Let's chat over a drink, okay?" Julian was bowing a little as he ushered Cody Nixon into the villa like some king.

Noah, who was standing by the door, was boiling with anger and jealousy now.

From the look of things, he could tell that they intended to make a match between Charlotte and this man.

Charlotte was still his wife!

Cody couldn't help but notice Noah. He suspected that the Pierce family didn't like this man, so he deliberately asked with a provoking smile, "Who is this gentleman?"

All attention was on Cody now. If he hadn't asked this question, they would have completely forgotten about Noah.

Hazel flipped the switch again. With a long face, she uttered, "Noah Reed! Come sign the divorce agreement!"

Julian echoed, "That's right! Sign the agreement. Charlotte's lucky that a successful man like Cody took a liking to her. You don't even have a good source of income. Do you want Charlotte to starve on the cold streets with you?"

There was a sudden burst of sneer in the room. A mocking smirk soon appeared on Cody's face.

"Oh, I was wondering who he was. It turns out he's the loser that goes by the name, Noah. He went off the grid for so many years. Something tells me he almost died of hunger and had to go somewhere to beg for food. Ha-ha!"

Cody looked down at Noah from head to toe with disdain.

"By the way, you just got back to Bayhedge, didn't you? You don't look good at all. Since you are so poor, you don't have a place to stay, right?

Anyway, there's an empty doghouse in my villa. How about you live there? You can stay for as long as you want. I need a pet. You are up to the task, aren't you?" Cody spat with disdain.

"Noah, did you hear that? Cody is far too kind to have made you such an offer. I'm sure many people want to be his pet. You'll fit in the doghouse well. It's better than living on the streets." Hazel didn't hesitate to add salt to injury. Multiple disdainful eyes were on Noah at this moment.

In the face of this humiliation, Noah just smiled and said lightly, "I must say that this is the first time I am hearing about a human being living in a doghouse. Cody, since you brought it up, you and your family must have lived in such before.

I love trying new things, but I'm a bit too self-aware to know that I don't belong in a doghouse. Anyway, I respect the odd habit of your family. It's a free world."

Cody's puffy face was red as a ripe tomato by the time Noah finished speaking.

Hazel's eyes grew wider. In her opinion, Cody was her family's savior. He was to be revered. How would he help them to become a nobler family if he got pissed off today?

"Watch your mouth, Noah! Don't create a scene here. Just sign the divorce agreement and get your stinking self out of this place. If you don't, I'll call the cops on you for trespassing!" Hazel gesticulated as she threatened in a fit of rage.

Just then, the front door swung open. Two figures appeared at the door.

Charlotte was home, holding Gianna's hand.
