Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 771 - Bab 780

It was not just the craftsmanship but the extremely valuable material the brooch was made out of. Based on what Janice had said earlier, Noelle had thought it would be a cheap but heartfelt gift. “I can’t accept this!” Janice raised her eyebrows and smiled as she turned to look at Charles, who took the brooch from Noelle. “Thank you!” Then, he added, “I’ll have Ronald bring a check over later!” “That sounds good!” Janice did not beat around the bush and was appreciative of Charles’ straightforward way of doing things. “When will your wedding be held, Mr. Hoffman?” Charles raised an eyebrow slightly as he turned to look at Noelle, a smile tugging on his lips. "We won’t be having a ceremony anytime soon, but I’ll let you know when we decide to!” “I’ll wait for your good news then, Mr. Hoffman.” Charles and Noelle left the jewelry shop, and Noelle grinned as she held Charles’ hand and walked ahead of him. All her melancholy had vanished into thin air, which also brought Charles

“If you’re so happy, why did it take you so long to come visit me?” Sebastian asked, shaking his head as he gently pinched Noelle’s nose. “Oh, child!” Charles brought in the gifts they had bought, and a loving smile appeared on his face as he listened to Noelle speaking so cutely to Sebastian. “Hello, Grandpa!” Sebastian nodded. "Take a seat!” Then, his gaze landed on Charles, who he gave a good up-and-down look to before he nodded in satisfaction. “I thought you’d make Noelle come here alone.” He had not expected Charles to accompany Noelle back home, and he was glad his overthinking had proven wrong.Sebastian had never quite approved of their decision to get married in secret, but since his granddaughter wanted to do it, there was not much he could do. Sebastian’s opinion was that although Charles was extremely well-accomplished and perceived to be too good for most people, Sebastian still just saw him as one of his students who happened to be better than most others in his stu

"Grandpa!" Noelle's face flushed with embarrassment. "Why are we talking about this during dinner?" Despite her words, she looked eagerly at Charles.Charles smiled and said, "Once things settle down, I plan to make my marriage to Nelly public."Sebastian smiled with satisfaction. "Good!"Noelle lowered her head and took a few bites of her food, which now tasted sweet to her.Suddenly, a warm sensation brushed past her knee. Looking down, she noticed Charles' restless hand roaming her leg.She frowned slightly and swatted his hand away before shooting him a glare. "Behave yourself!"Charles smirked. "You seem happy."Noelle raised an eyebrow and pretended to be upset as she turned away. "You're overthinking it!""Really? I can see it as clear as day, though." As he spoke, he tried to place Noelle's hand over his heart.Noelle glanced up and saw that Sebastian and May were both watching them intently. Feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, she slapped Charles' hand away. "What a

Charles turned on the TV. Since it was still early, the two of them snuggled together to watch it. Noelle had already kicked off her shoes and curled up on the couch.When she saw Charles approaching, she patted the spot next to her.Charles sat down, pulling Noelle into his arms and letting her rest comfortably. One hand held the remote while the other gently stroked her forehead. "Ronald has been with me for many years. If you ever need anything and I'm not around, just go straight to him.""Okay!" Noelle nodded cheerfully. She stretched out her right hand, admiring the shiny ring on her finger while feeling incredibly happy. "Charlie.""Hmm?" Charles raised an eyebrow. "What's up?""I love you!" Noelle straightened up, then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him there. Charles smirked as he held her close, nuzzling her nose. "What brought this on, hmm? What do you want?""Nothing." Noelle blushed, lowering her head. She played with her ring and then reached for Char

"Alright then, come catch me!" Noelle playfully stuck out her tongue at Charles and dashed upstairs. "Catch me if you can!""Slow down, don't trip!" Charles called after her. He was carrying the fireworks with both hands while following her helplessly.When they reached the rooftop, Noelle immediately began directing Charles on where to place the fireworks. Meanwhile, she trailed behind him, happily recording a video.Under the dark sky, the images were not too clear, so Noelle zoomed in on Charles' face. Charles could only let her have her fun and finally finished with the setup after a while. It was only then that Noelle stopped filming. She held a lighter and stood close behind him."Alright, stop pacing around," Charles said, resting his hands on her shoulders and glancing toward the glasshouse behind her. "Go wait over there.""Okay!" Noelle obediently ran over to the glasshouse and leaned against the glass, tilting her head as she watched Charles.Charles crouched down, l
