The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 483

Chloe laughed at Clarisse's words, but her gaze remained cold. "How do you think I should speak to you, Mother?" she asked, her icy gaze making Clarisse momentarily afraid, much like when she looked at Charles earlier.

Charles gave Clarisse and Janet a dispassionate glance before saying, "Anna's already sleepy. Let's go, Chlo. I'll take you home."

He then left with Anna, not looking back.

Chloe smirked, feeling a twinge of satisfaction at Clarisse's pale face. "Mother, you should rest early. I'm leaving now."

Chloe came with a driver since her husband, Jordy Charlton, was on a business trip. She only learned of her mother's return when Charles called her.

Outside, Chloe saw Charles putting Anna in his car. She hurried over and said, "Charlie, let me take Anna. I brought the driver today."

Charles nodded. "Sure. You should head home soon. I'll be on my way too."

"Charlie!" Chloe called out, hesitating before sighing. "Our mother has been away from Brookville for so long. It's normal that she doesn't understand us. Don't take it to heart too much."

Charles replied, pressing his lips together, "I should be the one telling you this. I know my limits. Don't worry, Chlo. With your husband away, take good care of Anna."

Chloe nodded. "About the last time… Thank you," she said, still concerned.

Charles assured her, "No need for that between siblings. Just remember, as long as I'm here, you'll always have a place in the Hoffman family."
