The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 

Ronald instinctively looked toward Charles, but the nonchalant look on his face made it evident he did not plan to say anything. He felt a headache forming, but he put on a bold face and said, No, there’s no way it’s a mistake. Definitely not. This is the correct price!” 

That can’t be right!Noelle might not be an expert in field, but she was no idiot either. There was no way something from Curio Corner could be purchased at that price. Besides, Charles had picked it out, and he would not have picked out something inexpensive. Noelle did not believe it one bit

Sweat pooled on Ronald’s forehead, and he could not help thinking to himself, You’re right that it wasn’t cheap. It was so expensive! However, he did not dare say that aloud and merely laughed stupidly. You probably don’t know this, Ms. Shaw, but Mr. Hoffman often purchases extremely valuable antiques from Curio Comer. The shopkeeper is a smart man, and he knows what discounts he can afford to offer. This pen isn’t particularly valuable, and initially

Ronald snuck a look at Charles after saying that and heaved a sigh of relief upon noticing Charles was not saying anything. So, don’t worry about it, Ms. Shaw.” 

Noelle finally understood what Ronald was telling her. The shopkeeper at Curio Corner would occasionally offer loyal clients sweet deals so they could continue their business relationship. She had just so happened to stumble across this amazing deal

Noelle peeked at Charles and noticed he was leaning against the car leisurely. She bit down on her lip and said, Alright, but how should I repay you? Could I have your bank account, Mr. Hoffman?” 

No rush. Get in. I’ll take you home!Charles said as he glanced at Ronald, who immediately got the hint and chuckled as he said, I just recalled something I need to take care of at the office, Mr. Hoffman. I’ll head off first.” 

Ronald slipped away, moving even faster than a rabbit, and Noelle stared after him in astonishment. She seemed to have something else on her mind, but given the circumstances, she decided to get into the car. Thank you for all you’ve done, Mr. Hoffman.” 

No worries.” 

The Shaw family mansion was on the western outskirts of Haven District

It was Sir Shaw’s 79th birthday today, and as per tradition, they were celebrating it as his 80th birthday. That explained why it was particularly rowdy and crowded today. The Shaw family was not among the most influential families in Brookville, but they were still wellrespected, and that had only become even more evident under Joshua’s leadership in recent years

The Shaw family had begun preparations for Sir Shaw’s birthday party over half a month ago. There was also another important reason why they were going over the top this time, Juliant and Jade had discussed among themselves and decided to take advantage of Sir Shaw’s birthday party to convince him to bless Winter and Xavier’s marriage

The joining of the Shaw and Harris families had been in the works for a long time, and they did not want their efforts to go to waste because of Sir Shaw. Since so many people would be present and watching tonight, there was no way Sir Shaw and Noelle would make a scene
