The Cherished Wife

Noelle added, “It’s someone you know!”

“I know that person?” Sebastian was stunned. “Why didn’t you tell me something as important as you getting married? And you didn’t introduce me to him beforehand either? Yet you claim you’re no longer a child. Is marriage something you can just decide for yourself on a whim?”

Sebastian was somewhat angry at the fact that his granddaughter had gotten married without saying a word to him. No matter how he thought about it, the whole thing felt inappropriate to him.

After all, he had known about what happened to Noelle and Xavier’s relationship and also knew just how much she had loved him. Noelle had even turned down his offer to play matchmaker between her and one of his students.

Yet, just a few months later, Noelle was married. It was impossible for Sebastian not to feel worried.” Noelle, you’re not a young girl anymore. How could you treat your marriage as if it’s child’s play?”

It was the first time Noelle had ever heard Sebastian speak to her in such a stern voice, and she could not help but feel guilt wash over her. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Charles narrowed his eyes when he saw the look on Noelle’s face. He collected his wits before walking over and taking the phone from Noelle’s grasp.

Stunned, Noelle was just about to grab the phone back from him when Charles began speaking, “Sir, it’s me!”

Sebastian was just about to continue lecturing Noelle. Although he was extremely fond of Noelle, he felt the need to lecture her about her decision to get married without saying anything to him so that she would remember her lesson. He was not expecting to hear Charles‘ voice.

Sebastian thought his ears were playing tricks on him. “Charles?”

“It’s me, sir!” Charles grinned. “Long time no see, sir!”

Once again, Sebastian was stunned. “Are you with Noelle? It’s so late…” However, Sebastian had considerable life experience under his belt and immediately connected the dots. “You’re the man Noelle

is married to?”

“Yes, sir!” Charles said before he added in a respectful tone, “No, I should begin addressing you as Grandpa‘ now.”

Even a man of Sebastian’s age would be shocked by that, and he drew in a deep breath. “You’re the big shot who got married to Noelle?” Then, he added, “You little bastard, you didn’t even bother letting me know that you married my granddaughter?

Sebastian was so angry that he began blabbering, “How did you guys end up marrying each other? Were you guys not planning to tell me anything if I hadn’t started asking questions today? What about that old coot, Samuel? Does he know anything?”

Charles frowned. When he saw the nervous look on Noelle’s face, he reached out and stroked her hair, signaling to her there was nothing to worry about.

With a grin on his face, he added, “Nelly and I were planning to wait for our relationship to be a little more

stable before we told you. Before this, Nelly was so confident that she would never fall for me, and…” Chuckling, he continued, “It’s my fault, though. I was waiting for a perfect and proper opportunity to visit because I was worried you might be against our marriage! As for Mr. Shaw… I haven’t spoken to him you yet.

“Nelly and I had always planned to speak to you first, since not only are you her maternal grandfather but my teacher as well. We definitely have to seek your approval on this matter!”
