Chloe’s face was pale and troubled. “Charles, do you really have to be so stubborn?” she asked,her voice

filled with distress.

Charles shot Chloe a quick look and a tiny smile. “You helped raise me. You know this is just theway I am.

He flicked the ash from his cigarette and saw that Chloe looked upset. “I have to deal with Robert,no matter what’s going on between you two. Remember, the Colossus Group belongs to theHoffman family,

not just one person.”

“You…” Chloe’s face was pale, but she knew Charles too well. “Alright, I’ve got it.”

“Big Sis,” Charles said, tossing his cigarette away, “I can’t stand it when someone has control overme.”

Chloe was taken aback as she watched Charles’s car speed off, her body shaking a little.

At that moment, Anna woke up. Not seeing her mom in tears, she called out, “Mommy!”

“Here I am, sweetie,” Chloe replied.

Knowing there was no going back, Chloe got into the car and instructed the driver, “Take me to Mr.Harris’s place, please.”

Charles arrived home as the night settled in. The trees around Phoenix Tree Residence whisperedin the

wind.

Noelle had just finished her bath. She stepped out of the bathroom, drying her wet hair with a towel.She stopped for a second when she saw Charles, who seemed to have just come from the closet,holding a

bathrobe.

Charles spotted Noelle and narrowed his eyes, focusing on her.

Noelle was wrapped in just a bath towel. She had meant to grab her pajamas but forgot. Shefigured it was okay since she was home alone, but she did not expect Charles to come back sosoon.

Feeling Charles’s strange look, Noelle glanced down and quickly covered herself with her hands.“Oh! When did you get back?” she exclaimed.

She dashed to replace her pajamas and rushed back into the bathroom.

Charles watched her, a slight smile playing on his lips as he saw her panic.

After Noelle hurriedly changed in the bathroom, she came out to replace Charles gone. She was notsure how to feel. She bit her lip and patted her cheeks until she finally came back to her senses.

Noelle moved slowly around her room before she finally went out.

Meanwhile, Charles was in the guest room shower, thinking about Noelle. He turned on the coldwater, trying to cool his thoughts. He had not expected to replace Noelle fresh out of the shower,

especially dressed like that. He was a normal guy, and she was his wife, after all. Thinking aboutthat, Charles sighed softly.

He was usually not shy, but he always got a little flustered around her.

Charles stepped out of the bathroom and headed straight for the study. To his surprise, Noelle wasthere too. He squinted a bit when he saw her. Noelle was flipping through an old history book called‘Chronicles

of Ages‘. Charles raised an eyebrow. “Do you replace that interesting?”

Noelle laughed and set the book down. “My grandpa has this book in his study. I bet you picked upthis hobby from him, huh?”

Charles just gave a mysterious half–smile. “Did you need me for something?”
