The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 216

Noelle was supposed to visit Samuel in the hospital after they finished breakfast. Mr. Thompson had called with good news: Samuel was awake. Noelle was in a hurry to see him, but Charles gently pulled her back. "Hold on!"

Confused, Noelle asked, "What is it?"

"Let's go upstairs first," Charles said, putting away the dishes. He led Noelle to his study and handed her the contract from the day before. "This is yours. Go ahead and sign it."

Noelle hesitated. "Didn't I say I'd swap shares with you once mine were sorted?"

"Do you think you'll run into your parents on the way to see your grandpa?" Charles asked, getting right to the heart of the matter. Noelle's face tensed up a bit. She nodded, her smile tinged with a touch of sadness. "I suddenly feel like I'm not doing so great at this whole ‘life’ thing."

Charles gave her a reassuring grin. "You're making a smart move right now. Go ahead and sign it!" He wanted to make sure she got the best, even if she did not seem to care much about this gift he was giving her.

Charles's phone buzzed. It was Ronald on the line. "Mr. Hoffman, everything's ready. I'm sending it to your email now!"

"Got it!" Charles replied, ending the call. Ronald's email was already in his inbox. He quickly reviewed the document and found no issues, so printed it out for Noelle.

Noelle looked at Charles, surprised. "That was quick!" However, she then remembered how Charles always got things done fast. She skimmed the contract. It was all in her favor. She hesitated for a moment. "Are you sure about this? I only suggested it yesterday, and dealing with the Shaw family can be tricky."
