Chapter 286
“Please come in!” May’s eyes shone with satisfaction, which made Noelle happy as well. However, she remembered that her grandfather seemed somewhat displeased about their marriage.
She glanced at Charles, intending to pull her hand away from his, but Charles held on firmly.
May saw this and felt genuinely happy. “Ms. Noelle, why don’t you and your husband go and have a chat with Sir Jones? He often talks about you when you’re not around. I’ll go make your favorite casserole.”
“Really? The seafood casserole?” Noelle’s eyes sparkled. “Thank you, May!”
Charles handed Noelle a pair of shoes to change into, then changed his own. After that, he led her into the living room while holding her hand.
Sebastian had already heard their conversation and was eagerly waiting for them. However, when they finally came in, he pretended to be reading the newspaper. In fact, he was not actually reading a single word.
Holding Charles‘ hand, Noelle saw her grandfather pretending to read the newspaper while actually looking at them. His demeanor made Noelle almost laugh.
Sebastian squinted his eyes. Upon noticing Noelle’s expression, he huffed. Noelle let go of Charles‘ hand and went over to her grandfather. “Grandpa, I’m back!”
“Hmph! You still remember the way home?” Sebastian said, glancing at Charles. Charles stood there, unphased. He was holding a gift box, still exuding confidence.
Sebastian felt quite satisfied but still showed displeasure on his face. “Young man, you’re quite impressive!”
“Grandpa!” Charles smiled, but Sebastian snorted coldly.
“Hmph, of course, I knew it was you! I only have one precious granddaughter, and you quietly took her away.” Sebastian was not really angry but was still displeased about being kept in the dark. He felt he needed to show some dissatisfaction.
