The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 585

"Your parents?" Nancy asked, looking up at Charles.

However, Charles appeared calm and indifferent, as if he truly never considered telling them.

Nancy understood and decided not to press further. "You brat, you didn't mention your marriage on the phone earlier. Your Uncle Henry and I came empty-handed, and this is our first time meeting..."

"Aunt Nancy, my name is Noelle Shaw. You can just call me Noelle," she smiled.

"Oh, Noelle." Nancy noted how Noelle behaved with grace and poise. Most importantly, Nancy could tell Noelle was genuinely pleasant and had treated them with respect, neither too humble nor arrogant.

Plus, she seemed attentive to Charles as well, her eyes often following him. "Charlie, your Uncle Henry and I are meeting Noelle for the first time, and we didn't bring anything—that's just not right!"

"It's not a problem, Aunt Nancy," Noelle reassured her without any concern. "Actually, Charlie has wanted to introduce me to you for a while, but I felt the timing wasn't right before, so I declined. I hope you're not upset."

"Noelle's right. We're all family, so there's no need for gifts. Aunt Nancy, you must be tired from standing; let me help you sit down," Charles said as he guided Nancy to a seat.

Though Henry had not said much during the visit, his perceptive eyes observed Charles and Noelle carefully, along with Phoenix Tree Residence. He then nodded in satisfaction.

"Uncle Henry, Aunt Nancy, have some tea!" Noelle brought the tea from the kitchen. "I wasn't sure what you would prefer, Uncle Henry, so I made tea similar to what Charlie likes. Aunt Nancy, since your health isn't the best, I brewed a gentle honeysuckle tea for you. Please give it a try."

"Oh, how thoughtful," Nancy replied, taking a sip before setting the cup down. She patted Noelle's hand and added, "This girl is not only beautiful but also thoughtful!"
