The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 782

Jordy glanced upstairs and asked, "Finished talking with the old man?"

Chloe nodded. "Yeah, let's go. We should head back."

"We're not staying here tonight?" Jordy seemed a bit surprised since they usually spent the night at the Hoffman residence around this time of year.

Chloe smirked. "Do you want to stay here?"

Jordy stood up with Anna in his arms. "No, let's go. It's getting late, and Anna should be in bed by now."

In truth, Jordy had little interest in the Hoffmans. If it were not for marrying Chloe, he would not have cared to visit the place.

"By the way, about Charlie today..." Chloe sat in the back seat with Anna while Jordy drove.

Remembering Charles' sudden absence, Jordy, who knew his brother-in-law was not the type to act irresponsibly, asked, "What did you say to the old man?"

"Nothing much," Chloe replied, massaging her temples. "I don't really want to talk about the Hoffmans anymore. How's your project going? Are you heading back after New Year's?"

"Yeah, it's in the final phase now. We should be done in another month or two." Jordy glanced at her, adding, "You've been working hard lately."

Chloe smiled softly. "It's not too bad." Then, she added, "I know you don't care much for the Hoffmans, but I appreciate your patience with them. Oh, by the way, did my mom give you a hard time earlier?"

Jordy loosened his grip on the steering wheel slightly, surprised by the question. "This was my first time meeting your mother, and she…"

Chloe shrugged. "Pretty sad, right? We've been married all these years, and this was your first time meeting her. She's... selfish."
