The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 285

Seeing Charles nod, Noelle understood. She then glanced at lan’s reaction and raised an eyebrow, saying, “So, Curio Corner is actually yours?”

Charles laughed and gestured for Ronald and lan to leave. After they left, he opened the painting and examined it. “Is it very strange?”

Noelle pursed her lips and gave Charles a sideways glance. “So, the gift you gave my grandfather before was another one of your tricks?” Noelle could not quite describe her feelings; she was not exactly angry.

Seeing that Charles seemed completely unbothered, she could not muster any real anger and simply asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Charles gave her a meaningful look. His long fingers brushed over the painting as he tapped it. “You walked into the shop yourself. I was planning to find another way, but you ended up going to Curio Corner. “Charles chuckled.

“I’ve never minded what means I use, as long as the result is good.” His eyes, which were filled with light, fell on Noelle. They were sparkling.

Noelle’s face turned red, but she could not say anything. She could only lower her head and continue eating.

The next day, they were to visit Sebastian. Noelle got up early, thinking that besides the antique painting, she should also bring some gifts for her grandfather. However, Charles said it was not necessary.

Once she understood, she went out early to buy groceries and then busied herself in the kitchen. May had watched Noelle grow up. Although the Shaw family had two children, May had never liked Winter. Whenever Jade brought Winter over, their concern for Sebastian was only superficial.

As she got busy in the kitchen, May glanced out and saw Sebastian reading the newspaper in the living room. He seemed distracted, constantly glancing at the front door.
