The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 280

“Pfft!” Noelle could not help but laugh. “Do you think Grandpa will buy that?” Noelle gave Charles a once- over before adding, “You don’t seem like the kind to pester someone!”

Charles raised an eyebrow as he reached out to tap her on the nose. “That might not necessarily be the case!”

Noelle smacked his hand out of the way. “Hmph, then I’ll say that tomorrow, and we’ll see whether Grandpa believes you or not.” After giving it some thought, Noelle realized it truly was the only explanation they could give.

“Love is something that’s difficult to explain,” he said as he toyed with her hand. “Alright, let’s not discuss this any further. Where did you go today?”

Since Charles brought that up, Noelle was reminded of something that had happened. “I wasn’t expecting your predictions to be so accurate.”

“Oh?”

Charles led Noelle into their bedroom and began taking off his jacket. When he heard what Noelle said, he put his jacket down and motioned for her to continue.

She bit down on her lip as she picked up his jacket so that she could hang it up. “I went to the garden house today because Teresa wanted me to take a look at the account statements, and she mentioned that my mother and Winter were at the garden house as well!”

“What were they doing at the garden house?” Charles asked, his eyebrows furrowing together. “Were they there to cause you trouble?”

Noelle shook her head. “They don’t know I own the garden house.”

Charles nodded. “Now that you mention it, that’s true! Then, why were they there?”

“They were there to talk to Xavier’s mom about his and Winter’s wedding!” Noelle replied, and when she noticed that Charles merely nodded in response without showing any signs of surprise, she asked, “You had guessed it already, hadn’t you?”

She bit down on her lip, and after giving it some thought, she added, “His attitude toward me changed after learning that Grandpa transferred ownership of the stocks to me. He said some really weird stuff as well!”

Noelle was not at all surprised that Charles knew that. After all, given how smart he was, it would not be difficult for him to arrive at those answers.
