Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 831 - Bab 840

Peter had spent his life accustomed to solitude, embracing cold independence. However, from the moment he met Tania, he could not imagine being apart from her. Leaving her was never an option.Nancy frowned. "So, you're here to ask me to bring Tania back?"As a daughter raised in the Naylor family, Nancy was sharp and perceptive. She did not miss much.Peter nodded. "It's been three years. I've been searching for Tania all this while, but she won't see me. Even with all the connections I've used, I haven't been able to find her. You're her mother. Surely, you...""Have you ever considered that maybe Tania doesn't want to be found?" Nancy's voice was calm but piercing.Peter's hand trembled slightly, and a flicker of discomfort crossed his gaze.This man, who had always carried himself with pride and certainty, now faced a dilemma for which he had no answer to and no clear path forward.Throughout his 30-plus years, Peter had always lived with the belief that he could achieve any

This matter was not something that could be resolved in an instant. However, Charles was now certain—based on Nancy's reaction—that she wasn't entirely heartless toward Peter.The next step would be dealing with Henry. If Henry had no objections, Charles had more than enough means to bring Tania back.Ideally, Charles wished Tania would not need to return. But if someone truly intended to use her as a pawn, then her situation was far too dangerous.Apart from her parents, the only person who truly cared for and could protect Tania was Peter."Aunt Nancy, I'll handle this matter thoroughly. You don't need to worry about Tania's safety," Charles assured her. His promise meant Tania would not come to harm.Nancy nodded. "I'll think it over.""There's no rush, Aunt Nancy. Shall we head back now?""Yes, let's. I already told your Uncle Henry I'd stay at Phoenix Tree Residence for a couple of days, and he agreed."Hearing this, Noelle exhaled in relief. She had worried earlier that N

"What do you mean by that?" Maxwell frowned deeply.Charles remained composed. "It's nothing complicated. It's just that I've been your grandson for more than 30 years, yet you still don't understand what I want. Whether or not she's Kelly doesn't matter. What matters is that she's mine. There's no comparison between them. Kelly has never measured up to her.""Y-You're deliberately trying to anger me, aren't you?" Maxwell's expression darkened with rage. "What's so special about that woman? All she has is a face identical to Kelly's. You can have any woman you want. Plenty of daughters from respected families are a perfect match for you. Noelle's family… She's not worthy of you at all.""You're right about being unworthy. I'm the one unworthy of her," Charles interrupted calmly."You…" Maxwell's anger rose further, and he was unable to find the words to say."Is this the only reason you summoned me here today? To have dug into Nelly's background so quickly, it seems you're very

"When did this happen?" Maxwell gritted his teeth, unable to believe that his most trusted son, Henry, would side with Charles."You knew what happened between Charlie and Kelly back then. You also know that Noelle looks just like Kelly. Why didn't you stop it? And that woman, she's clearly with an agenda. If Charlie is acting recklessly, are you going to do the same?"Henry frowned. "Dad, Charlie is serious about Noelle. This has nothing to do with Kelly.""How do you know? I think he's doing it on purpose." Just the thought of Noelle sharing the same face as Kelly made Maxwell feel deeply uncomfortable."I've spent time with Noelle. She's a good kid. Charlie has his reasons for choosing her. He knows what he wants, and he's not someone without sense.""I don't think he knows anything at all!" Maxwell's frustration boiled over as he began to suspect that Charles had planned this all along. "Are you saying they're really married?"Henry nodded. "Yes, Charlie told me they are."M

When Charles returned, he had already tamped down the anger and frustration he carried from earlier, but Noelle could still sense the lingering heaviness in his demeanor.She was chatting with Nancy, sharing amusing stories and anecdotes from her school days about friends she had known.Nancy seemed to grow even fonder of Noelle with every conversation and asked more about her life. She clearly appreciated Noelle's personality.Noticing Charles quietly entering the room, Nancy smiled. "You're back already?"Noelle looked up, her eyes curving into crescents with a bright smile. "Charlie, you're home?""Yeah," Charles answered. At the sight of Noelle's cheerful expression, the weight on his shoulders seemed to lift entirely. The harshness he carried melted away.He returned her smile. "What were you two talking about? You seem to be having a good time.""We were talking about you!" Noelle grinned, standing to take his coat and fetch him a pair of slippers. "Did everything get sort
