Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 826

Noreen got out of bed and went to look for Seth, but before she could find him, her phone rang. It was her lawyer, calling to discuss some details before the court hearing.

Katy's custody case was scheduled for the next day. With time running short, Noreen had no choice but to push aside her other concerns. She returned to the room, grabbed her coat, and prepared to leave. She paused at the door, then took out a pen and paper, scribbled a note for Seth, and hurried out.

Castle had been handling the custody case himself, so Noreen wasn't familiar with the details. The discussion with the lawyer took up the entire morning and stretched into the afternoon. She didn't even have time to treat the lawyer to a meal before she rushed back to the hospital.

As she arrived at the entrance, she was ambushed by reporters. The press in Harborview City was notoriously nosy, and they immediately surrounded Noreen with questions.

For the sake of the custody case, she and Castle had a complete narrative to present to the public. They had to appear deeply in love to strengthen their claim. The talking points were all prepared in advance, and Noreen answered them with practiced ease.

A reporter asked, "Miss Gilmore, you look exhausted. Is it because you're worried about Mr. Joyner?"

"Of course I'm worried about him. He's my fiancé, after all. I dropped all my work back home to come and take care of him."

Another reporter chimed in, "So, when are the two of you planning to get married?"

Noreen nonchalantly tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, deliberately flashing the engagement ring on her finger. She smiled sweetly and replied, "We'll be sure to let everyone know as soon as we have good news."

The reporter who had asked the question chuckled. "With a relationship as strong as yours, it must be soon."

Noreen didn't deny it. Because she projected such deep concern for Castle, the reporters didn't press her for too long. After a few key questions, they let her go.
