The Cherished Wife

Samuel was very satisfied with Charles. Although their swift marriage was a bit hard for Samuel to accept, he felt Charles appeared at the right time. Noelle's situation was quite special. Despite his protection, it was not entirely comprehensive. Samuel would be more relieved if Noelle could find a strong protector to stay by her side.

From the small details, it was clear that Charles treated Noelle very well. More importantly, Charles' status and background were enough to protect Noelle.

"Let me be blunt, about Xavier..."

"Are you worried that I might be biased because of Xavier?" Charles smiled. "I'm sure you understand that in large families like ours, things can get complicated with so many cousins."

A gleam flashed in Samuel's eyes as he reassessed Charles. This young man was truly exceptional. He understood Samuel's concerns and managed everything so well.

Samuel had nothing more to say.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry. I said the same thing to Grandpa Jones. Since I married Nelly, I won't let her suffer any grievances." Charles' words were both a promise and a reassurance.

Samuel had not dealt with Charles before, but within their business circles, he had heard of the young man's accomplishments. Samuel had always thought Charles was remarkable, a standout among his peers. He never imagined that this young man would end up with Noelle.

"One last question, has Noelle met your family?"

Charles raised an eyebrow, thinking

Samuel paused, the atmosphere suddenly becoming a bit tense. Noelle's words were not very

Charles' brows slightly furrowed, but he quickly returned to a calm expression. He reached out and held Noelle's hand. "Nelly, go check if the manager has prepared the dishes."

Charles' intention to send Noelle away was clear, and she noticedat. She bit her lip, realizing her earlier words might have been a mistake when she saw Samuel's slight change in expression.

She looked at Samuel, then at Charles. "I..."

"Go on, dear. I'm not familiar with Grandpa's tastes, but you know them well, right?"

Noelle nodded. "Alright then." Reluctantly, she let go of Charles' hand, glanced at both men again, and then left the room.

Samuel's eyes never left Charles and Noelle. His eyes sparkled as he watched their interaction.

When Noelle finally disappeared, Samuel turned back to Charles with a serious look. "Care to explain, Mr. Hoffman?"

Charles smiled inwardly, noting that while Samuel seemed easygoing, he was actually quite cautious. Samuel was different from Sebastian. Sebastian had shown his displeasure openly as he knew Charles well. That old man understood Charles much better than Samuel did.
