The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 827

Peter knew that the only way to bring Tania back was through Nancy. As Tania's mother, Nancy held the key. If she asked Tania to return, Tania's sense of duty and filial piety would compel her to come back.

This plan would undoubtedly hit Tania's weak spot and be the easiest way to persuade her. However, Noelle found it a bit puzzling. "If Aunt Nancy could really convince Tania to come back, then why didn't Peter ask for her help earlier? Why wait three years?"

Charles explained, "Time can heal a lot of things. When Tania made up her mind to leave, even Uncle Henry and Aunt Nancy couldn't have stopped her.

"Forcing her to stay back then wouldn't have repaired anything between her and Peter. On top of that, Uncle Henry was prejudiced against Peter at the time. Even now, Peter still faces opposition from him."

"So, Uncle Henry can't find out that I'm inviting Aunt Nancy over?" Noelle asked, finally understanding. "And that's why you're making me call Aunt Nancy instead of doing it yourself? Because Uncle Henry wouldn't suspect me?"

She shot Charles a look. "You're making me do the dirty work! If Uncle Henry finds out, I'll be the one in trouble!"

Charles chuckled and kissed her cheek. "Don't worry. Uncle Henry doesn't get angry at women. Besides, you're just an accomplice—I'm the mastermind."

"Alright, alright!" Noelle said, shoving him lightly. "I'll call Aunt Nancy now."

"Good."

Noelle climbed off the couch, found her phone, and called Nancy. To her surprise, Nancy was delighted by the invitation, especially when Noelle suggested they go out for a walk.

"I'd love to," Nancy agreed warmly.
