The Cherished Wife



Noelle noticed that Charles had many small habits. He particularly enjoyed playing with her fingers, though Noelle did not understand what was so fascinating about her fingers.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of Elegant Pavilion. Soon, the manager pushed the door open. "Sir Shaw, please."

Noelle quickly stood up, pulling Charles along to greet him. "Grandpa!"

As he was supported by Eli and leaning on a cane, Samuel walked in. Samuel looked up after hearing Noelle's clear and warm voice, his dark eyes shining as he first looked at Noelle and then at Charles beside her.

Charles met Samuel's gaze calmly. "Grandpa."

Samuel narrowed his eyes, nodding. "Hello, hello."

"Grandpa, don't just stand there. Please, come sit!" Noelle let go of Charles's hand and helped Samuel to a seat. Then, she said, "Grandpa, you remember Charles, right? He was there on your birthday and gave you a chessboard. Do you remember?"

"Silly girl!" Samuel patted Noelle's head. "You're too clever and mischievous. And did you manage to convince your Grandpa Jones?"

Although Samuel was asking Noelle, he looked at Charles.

Charles smiled. "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. Yes. We managed to convince him." He added, "So, today, I'm here to convince you."

"I'm very easygoing. As long as you

matters." Samuel did not have many demands. "You know Noelle's situation. Let me be upfront, Noelle has suffered enough since she was little. My only requirement is that you treat her well and take care of her for a lifetime."

Charles smiled. "Of course. Since I've married Nelly, I'll always keep her close to my heart. As for what you mentioned about Nelly's past, I don't consider them issues. Now that she's my wife, I'll protect her forever."
