Although Noelle found Samuel's expression a bit odd, she still nodded. "Yes."
Samuel's expression remained tense, but after a moment, he returned to his usual calm demeanor. "So, how did your mother get it wrong?"
At this, Noelle could not help but find it amusing. Jade had introduced the person herself, yet she did not even know who he was and had allowed Sean to pretend for so long.
Noelle explained the whole situation, and Samuel listened with some surprise. "So, your mom never knew who Bob was? She has never even met him?"
Noelle nodded, and Sean added, "It seems my aunt owed Madam Jones a favor when she was younger. Now that my aunt is with the Smiths, Madam Jones has turned her attention to my brother.
"But my brother has no interest in a matchmaking meeting and knows that Noelle has already married Charles. So, he came up with this idea and sent me instead."
"A case of substitution, I suppose?" Noelle joked while holding Samuel's hand. "Charlie is aware of this."
Samuel finally understood. "As long as Charlie knows. I just don't want any misunderstandings affecting your relationship as a couple."
With everything explained, Samuel felt at ease and gently patted Noelle's hand. "I'm getting old, and I don't want to interfere in young people's affairs. My only wish is for you and Charlie to be happy together."
He sighed wistfully. "If it weren't for your parents' personalities, you wouldn't have to hide your relationship with Charlie for so long."
He then turned to Sean. "We're really troubling you, Mr. Smith."
Noelle could not help but chuckle and shook her head. "Grandpa, don't worry about troubling him. He's got too much free time."
