The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 936

When Tania was with Peter before, Zara had treated her as though she were her own daughter. Tania had grown up without a mother's love. Even after returning to the Hoffmans, her relationship with Nancy never truly felt like that of a mother and daughter.

By then, she was already an adult and married to Peter, which made it even harder for her to feel close to Nancy.

However, it had been different with Zara. Zara had stayed at Five Elements Residence to care for Peter through all the years he was cast out by the Lennons. She gave up everything to be by his side, treating him as her own son.

Tania hesitated, glancing instinctively toward Peter. He was focused on driving, seemingly unaware of her conversation with Zara.

She opened her mouth but could not find the words to continue speaking to Zara. Sighing softly, Zara continued, "Ms. Tania, did something come between you and Mr. Peter? But I can tell you that he loves you. He hasn't gone a day without thinking of you these past three years.

"Your room hasn't changed at all. He hasn't let anyone touch it. Even the guest room you used to stay in remains as it was. Ms. Tania, now that you're back, you and Mr. Peter—"
