Charles, with the utmost composure, peeled the last shrimp and handed it to Noelle. "Here, have this."Noelle popped the shrimp into her mouth under everyone's watchful eyes. She watched as Charles casually wiped his hands with a napkin, his calmness unshaken."Alright, take him to Nippori first. I'll follow shortly.""Right away, Mr. Hoffman!"Once the manager had left, Sean inquired, "Your uncle?"Milo was the only person who would go to such lengths to track Charles down here, and the manager had mentioned someone with the surname Baker.Charles nodded, a glint of determination in his eyes. "I'll be right back." He stood up and looked at Noelle. "Make sure you eat plenty."Noelle's lips twitched, convinced Charles had lost his mind today, but she managed a composed nod in front of everyone. "Sure."Charles affectionately ruffled Noelle's hair before he exited the private room.Milo was led by the manager to a spot in Nippori and ended up waiting around ten minutes before Ch

"Excellent!"Charles's lips quirked up in a sly grin. "I'll have someone take you home!""No need. I'll head back myself!""Sure. I'll take my leave, then!"Charles had what he wanted, so there was no point in sticking around with Milo any longer.He returned to the private room, where everyone was finishing their meal. They caught sight of Charles, looking all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and figured the negotiation must have been a breeze.Charles slid into the seat next to Noelle and glanced around. "Why's everyone staring?"Noelle flashed a smile and dished up some more food for Charles. "Everything went okay?"He nodded. "Yep!""Dig in. You barely touched your food earlier." She looked at the table. "Should we get more? We're running low on food."Noelle was about to flag down the waiter, but Charles waved her off. "No need. There's plenty here, and I'm not that hungry!" He gave Noelle's shoulder a reassuring pat. "Are you full?""Yep!"Charles looked away and, taking

Truth be told, Peter had been on an endless search for her, never once taking a break during all these years. Charles had seen it all, which was why he had agreed to lend a hand. Tania was not just some girl. She was his so-called sister, the apple of his uncle and aunt's eye.Noelle's eyes widened in surprise. "So, he's been searching for Tania all this time?" She smacked her forehead. "I should've seen that coming. Otherwise, Charles wouldn't have offered to help out."Charles might come off as a bit of a distant figure, but Noelle knew better. Underneath that reserved exterior was a heart of gold, especially when it came to his loved ones. To Charles, Peter and Tania were practically family."So, what's the game plan? Convincing your uncle and aunt won't be a walk in the park, right? Tania is their daughter, and they still haven't cleared up that old misunderstanding with Peter.""I'm thinking of approaching my aunt first." Charles said.Noelle nodded in agreement. "Your aunt d

Ronald rushed in to help hold Janet down and shouted, "Get the doctor! We need a sedative now!"It wasn't until the doctor gave Janet the sedative and she finally settled down that Ronald turned to Milo and asked, "Mr. Baker, are you okay? What about that scratch on your face?"Milo felt his cheek and winced as he found the scratch Janet had left. "It's nothing. I'll still take Janet with me." They could not stay there a moment longer.Ronald gave a nod of understanding. "Sure thing. The boss said Ms. Baker is like a daughter to you. You can take her if you want.”Once Milo had left, Ronald dialed Sean's number. "Mr. Smith, I need to take the surveillance footage with me."It did not take long for Charles' keen eyes to spot something off about Milo in the footage. "He acted really weird when he saw Janet today, didn't he?"Ronald agreed and shared his thoughts before looking expectantly at Charles.Charles gave a sly smile, tapping his long fingers on the desk. "You're getting s

Milo let out a heavy sigh. "You think I don't want to heal Janet? Hilary was wrecked by this same sickness until she finally slipped away from us. If I hadn't selfishly left her back then, she wouldn't have fallen so far. Janet's her kid, and I want to give her everything good in this world. But you know how Janet is. She's convinced she's perfectly healthy, and she's been fine all these years. I hoped...""Enough about hoping,'" Alex cut in, firm and unyielding. "She's got a mental illness that's been passed down through the family. There's a history, Milo. There's no room for 'what ifs.' The odds are just too slim.""Think about the child. What's this child really trying to tell us? She wouldn't just talk about a child out of the blue unless there's a memory associated with it! Didn't you say she came here looking for Charles? Maybe Charles is the key!""It's no use," Milo said, his voice tinged with defeat.Maybe none of this would have happened if Charles just married Janet. "C
