Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Not only Sean but even Rowena and Teresa noticed something different about Charles.

Noelle smiled. “Yes, I’m back.”

“Hi, Charles. Remember me? We met last night.” Rowena waved. “I’m Noelle’s friend, Rowena. Andthis is Teresa.”

“Yes, hello!” Charles greeted them with a smile. Rowena’s friendly greeting put him in anexceptionally good mood.

“Hey, hey, hey, Charles Hoffman. Is this how you treat your friends?” Sean could not stand Charlesshowing favoritism right in front of him.

“Do you have a problem with that? Why are you here this time?” Charles glanced at Sean. He had notInvited him over.

Sean pursed his lips. “Can’t I just visit you after not seeing you for a while?” Sean had seen peopleburn bridges before, but not quite like this. His charming eyes, though smiling, gave off a menacingvibe.

Charles narrowed his eyes, not bothering to respond to Sean. Instead, he walked over to relieveNoelle of her things, taking them in his hands. “Are you tired? Go rest with your friends and watchsome TV. The food will be ready soon.”

He then turned to Rowena and Teresa, nodding slightly. “It’s my first time hosting you both. Pleaseforgive me for any shortcomings.”

“No, no, we’re the ones imposing!” Despite her brashness, Rowena understood the nuances ofsocial courtesy.

She and Teresa knew that if it were not for Noelle, meeting someone like Charles would beincredibly difficult, let alone being hosted by him. “You’re too kind, Charles. Don’t worry about us.We’ll take care of ourselves, right, Noelle?”

Rowena said with a wink, making Noelle smile helplessly.

“You go ahead and finish up. I’ll stay with them.”

“Alright.” Charles nodded and went upstairs to put things away.

The three women then sat in the living room and chatted. Finding the situation intriguing, Seanfollowed Charles upstairs and leaned against the bedroom door. “Seems like you’re serious thistime.”

Charles looked up, pausing his task of sorting through Noelle’s shopping bags. He shook his headat the sight of all the clothes she had bought. “When was I ever not serious?”

Sean’s demeanor–turned serious. “I know it’s not my place to say this, but as your friend, I mustremind you once you start, don’t let her down.”

Charles frowned. “I know what I’m doing,” he said, needing no further reminders.

Sean slightly twitched his lips when he heard this. “You know how hard it is for people like us to findreal feelings.”

Charles replied coolly with one hand in his pocket, “Sean, I’m not like you. I’ve always been differentfrom you, and you know that.
