Samuel was very satisfied with Charles. Although their swift marriage was a bit hard for Samuel to accept, he felt Charles appeared at the right time.
Noelle's situation was quite special. Despite his protection, it was not entirely comprehensive. Samuel would be more relieved if Noelle could find a strong protector to stay by her side.
From the small details, it was clear that Charles treated Noelle very well. More importantly, Charles' status and background were enough to protect Noelle.
"Let me be blunt, about Xavier..."
"Are you worried that I might be biased because of Xavier?" Charles smiled. "I'm sure you understand that in large families like ours, things can get complicated with so many cousins."
A gleam flashed in Samuel's eyes as he reassessed Charles. This young man was truly exceptional. He understood Samuel's concerns and managed everything so well.
Samuel had nothing more to say.
"Grandpa, you don't have to worry. I said the same thing to Grandpa Jones. Since I married Nelly, I won't let her suffer any grievances." Charles' words were both a promise and a reassurance.
Samuel had not dealt with Charles before, but within their business circles, he had heard of the young man's accomplishments. Samuel had always thought Charles was remarkable, a standout among his peers. He never imagined that this young man would end up with Noelle.
"One last question, has Noelle met your family?"
