Noelle nodded with a smile. "I totally agree. Work will always be there, but childhood is just a few precious years. Kids need us grown-ups around the most during that time. Peter, you've missed three years with Brandon, and now that he's taken a shine to you, you've got to make it count!""Thanks!" Peter grinned, buckling Brandon into his car seat before giving Noelle a thoughtful look. "You're going to be an awesome mom someday. Charles is so lucky."Noelle's cheeks turned pink, and she fiddled with her hair. "Well, I guess I'll sit in the back with Brandon then!"While Peter took the wheel, Noelle kept Brandon company in the backseat. She was pleasantly surprised to discover how bright Brandon was—nothing like Tania's worried impressions. Maybe Tania was just overthinking it. As she chatted with Brandon, Noelle found him utterly charming and adorable.She shot a quick text to Charles to let him know she and Peter had taken Brandon out for a bit. Knowing Charles and Tania might w

Tania chewed on her lip, unable to come up with a comeback. After all, Charles was her big brother, and he had a way with words that just left her speechless.Once Tania settled down, Charles fired up the engine, and they were on their way.Meanwhile, Peter was having the time of his life with Brandon. Noelle, feeling a bit worn out, took a seat to catch her breath. She watched Peter and Brandon's playful banter from the get-go and could not resist capturing the heartwarming father-son moments on her phone.Brandon was clearly smitten with Peter, looking up at him with wide-eyed admiration. Giggling, he tugged on Peter's hand, dashing from one spot to another, their laughter filling the air.Noelle's heart swelled with joy at the sight, and she dreamed a little about her future kids with Charles.In the midst of snapping photos, Noelle's phone rang. It was Charles. "Charles?""Still at the amusement park?" came Charles's voice. Noelle quirked an eyebrow. "Yep, Brandon's having a

Charles's striking face loomed close, making her blink. She let out an awkward chuckle and touched her nose. "Charles, what's with the intense stare?"A playful twinkle danced in Charles's eyes. "If you're so fond of kids, why don't we make one of our own?"Make one?Noelle's heart pounded a chaotic rhythm, and she blinked, her cheeks burning as she looked at Charles, particularly into those gorgeous eyes of his. She swallowed hard. "Well... I think it’ll happen when it’s meant to happen!”"So, my lady, are you saying you'd like to have one too?" Charles slid his arm around Noelle's shoulders, drawing her in.Side by side on the bench, Noelle rested her head lightly against Charles's shoulder, peering up at his profile. "Uh..." Did she mean it? Maybe she had not considered it too much!No matter what, Noelle had a soft spot for kids, and Brandon, with his cuteness overload, was no exception. Whenever she pictured her own future kids being as sweet as him, her heart just melted. "

"Pete, come back. You haven't seen Jack in years." Xylos sighed after saying this. "I heard… that woman has also returned?"Peter looked up, meeting Tania's gaze with a smirk on his face. "Are you talking about Tania, Grandpa?" he asked with a raised brow. "Did Jamie tell you, or was it Uncle Jack?""Your Uncle Jack? How could he… What do you mean?"Peter interrupted, "Since you're so keen on me returning, then I'll come back. I'll even bring you a grand gift!"Peter hung up, casting a complex glance at Tania.The moment she met his eyes, Tania's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Brandon's hand. Peter's gaze was… intense.Peter walked over, crouched down, and gently patted Brandon's head. Noticing he was sweating, Peter took a towel and wiped his forehead. "Bran, let's call it a day, alright?""But…" Brandon hesitated, looking at Tania. Then, with a sigh of understanding, he nodded. "Okay. Mr. Peter, will you bring me here again?""Of course. As

Charles raised an eyebrow, his captivating eyes locked on Noelle with a hint of amusement that was almost dazzling.Noelle felt overwhelmed by his gaze. Gently, he took her finger and wrapped it in his hand, giving it a soft squeeze as he spoke with warmth, "I've done far more shameless things before, so this doesn't count for much."Leaning closer, he propped one hand on the bench and slid his other arm around her waist, pulling her tightly against him. Their bodies pressed closely together, and Noelle felt her heartbeat quicken.As Charles' face drew near, she gulped nervously. She was holding her ice cream in one hand while attempting to push against his chest with the other. "Stop… Don't come so close!" Any nearer, and she felt she would barely be able to breathe—especially under the intensity of his gaze.Charles smirked. "Did you just call me shameless?""No, no… Y-You're pure as the breeze, noble and upright. Clearly, you're a gentleman who's far from shameless!" The mo
