The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 482

Janet said pitifully, "But Chloe seems to dislike me a lot. Aunt Clary, what did I do wrong? Why does it seem like no one in the Hoffman family likes me?"

"Silly child, it's not your fault. It's their problem," Clarisse consoled Janet, who was on the verge of tears. Her pitiful appearance made Clarisse's heart ache.

Clarisse lived in Capiton for years, raising Janet by her side and loving her like her own daughter. She treated Janet far better than she ever treated Chloe.

At that moment, Charles walked in front while carrying Anna, with Chloe following behind. As they entered the living room, their gazes turned sharp and cold upon seeing Clarisse and Janet.

Janet quickly stood up when Charles finally came in, but her eyes betrayed unmistakable jealousy when she saw Anna in his arms. "Charles, you..."

Charles swept a piercing gaze over her before settling on Clarisse. "It's getting late. Chlo and I will be heading back now. Mother, you should rest early too."

"Charlie!" Clarisse called out, stopping him. "Have you become unwilling to even see me now?"

Charles frowned slightly. Perhaps it was Clarisse's loud and cold voice that startled Anna in his arms. She shrank a bit, saying, "Grandma is scary!"

Charles quickly lowered his gaze to comfort Anna. "Don't be afraid, I'm here." His voice was gentle as he soothed Anna.
