Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 581 - Bab 590

"Him? Dating someone?" Henry shook his head. "You know Charlie's temperament well. Even Janet couldn't catch his eye; he's probably still thinking about that person." Henry sighed and shook his head.Nancy had a different perspective from Henry. "Henry, you know Charlie's temperament. What does he despise the most? Those two women both did exactly that, so Charlie won't have anything to do with them."Since Charles had grown up by Nancy's side, she understood his personality well. "I trust Charlie on this. If he's asking me to go over, it's probably because he doesn't want to come here, and that he certainly doesn't want the family to know. I'll go over and have a look.""That boy always preferred you, ever since he was little. Even though I'm his uncle, we ended up being distant." Henry spoke with a hint of jealousy, though it was not clear whether it was directed at Charles or Nancy.Nancy chuckled. "If Charlie knew his Uncle Henry felt this way, he'd be hurt.""That boy? Hurt?

"She does look a bit like her, but it's not her." Henry sighed softly. "This girl seems quite nice." He turned to Ronald behind him and asked, "When did Charlie get married? Why didn't we know anything about it?""Well… Mr. Hoffman got married about five months ago. It's not just you, many people don't know about it," Ronald explained.Since Charles had invited Henry and Nancy over today, and Noelle had openly acknowledged the marriage, Ronald assumed Charles was not planning on hiding it from Henry and Nancy, so he decided to be upfront.Henry and Nancy were both shocked. They had not expected that Charles not only got married but had done so quite early and had kept it hidden for so long. Five months ago meant that Charles got married around the time when Robert had his incident.This kid really kept things under wraps, fooling everyone. If he had not invited them over today, they would probably still be in the dark."This girl…""Rest assured, she's very nice. You can see sh

"Oh?" Henry raised an eyebrow and glanced at Charles, who nodded. He was clearly satisfied with Noelle's words. "It's true, Uncle Henry.""In that case, I have nothing more to say," Henry agreed. "I know you're prudent in your actions. Since you chose not to inform us earlier, I assume you had your reasons. I won't press further. But as for your parents and your grandfather…""I will tell them when the time is right. For now, I'd ask to keep this confidential, uncle," Charles responded, his expression turning serious.It was rare for Henry to see Charles take something so seriously. After a moment of silence, he nodded. "This is ultimately your decision, but I still think you should inform your father."Dealing with your parents will be rather tricky, especially with Janet in the picture. How do you plan to handle that?"Henry glanced at Noelle, noting that she did not seem fazed, which suggested she was already aware of Janet."You're both grown-ups with your own thoughts and th

Noelle was stunned for a moment but quickly composed herself. "Hey, Steven!"Steven gave a slight nod, acknowledging Noelle. "Hi, Noelle. Where's Charlie?""Charlie is inside, and Aunt Nancy is here too," Noelle smiled. She then glanced at the young girl, nodding politely. "Steven, who's this?""Elly, aren't you going to greet her?""Ms. Noelle." Eloise's voice was sweet. It was the kind that made her instantly likable, completely different from the cold, hard tone she had used the previous night.Noelle smiled and nodded. "Hello, I'm Noelle Shaw." She then added, "Please come in!"Noelle led Steven and Eloise inside and handed them slippers to change into. "Steven, please go inside. Elly, you too."Noelle guided them to the living room before heading to the kitchen to make tea. Steven approached and squinted slightly as he noticed Nancy sitting on the couch. The woman before him overlapped yet diverged from the person in his memory. "Nancy."His voice was edged with respect. H

"There's no misunderstanding. I didn't come here for anything else, just to let Elly and you do a test. You know, even if Elly looks like her biological mother and even if she has a birthmark, that doesn't prove much."Without a proper test, none of it counts. The situation in the Naylor family is quite complex right now, and it's best to avoid getting involved if possible." This was Steven's reasoning.Nancy nodded in understanding. "So, you want me and Eloise to do a test since I'm her aunt? If she truly is Elly, our blood types should match. If she isn't, then you won't bring her back to the Naylor family?"Nancy nodded again, appreciating Steven's thorough thinking. "I understand your intentions, and I don't object. If Elly really is a Naylor, no matter how complicated things are with the Naylor family, she should still acknowledge her roots.""That's exactly my intention," Steven said with a smile. "Although I'm not a Naylor by birth, I was raised in their household, so I shou
