The Cherished Wife

"No way!" Charles refused immediately without a second thought. "I don't feel comfortable with you going alone. How about you take Peter with you?"

"I..." Noelle was momentarily stunned, thinking Charles was being overly cautious for no reason. However, hearing the firmness in his voice, she realized she did not have much of a choice. She sighed and agreed reluctantly, "Alright, I'll go look for Peter." After hanging up the phone, Noelle glanced at Sean. "Charlie said it's fine. I'll go prepare the ingredients. See you tonight at Phoenix Tree Residence."

"Give Brandon back to me," Tania demanded.

Peter smirked. "Alright, come and take him."
