Chapter 278
The Cherished Wife by Chweety
Chapter 278 Chapter 278 Noelle added, âItâs someone you know!â
âI know that person?â Sebastian was stunned. âWhy didnât you tell me something as important as you getting married? And you didnât introduce me to him beforehand either? Yet you claim youâre no longer a child. Is marriage something you can just decide for yourself on a whim?â
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 Xavierâs 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.â Noelle, youâre not a young girl anymore. How could you treat your marriage as if itâs childâs play?â
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.
Charles narrowed his eyes when he saw the look on Noelleâs face. He collected his wits before walking over and taking the phone from Noelleâs grasp.
Stunned, Noelle was just about to grab the phone back from him when Charles began speaking, âSir, itâs me!â
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 Charlesâ voice.
Sebastian thought his ears were playing tricks on him. âCharles?â
âItâs me, sir!â Charles grinned. âLong time no see, sir!â
Once again, Sebastian was stunned. âAre you with Noelle? Itâs so late...â However, Sebastian had considerable life experience under his belt and immediately connected the dots. âYouâre the man Noelle is married to?â
âYes, sir!â Charles said before he added in a respectful tone, âNo, I should begin addressing you as Grandpaâ now.â
Even a man of Sebastianâs age would be shocked by that, and he drew in a deep breath. âYouâre the big shot who got married to Noelle?â Then, he added, âYou little bastard, you didnât even bother letting me know that you married my granddaughter?
Sebastian was so angry that he began blabbering, âHow did you guys end up marrying each other? Were you guys not planning to tell me anything if I hadnât started asking questions today? What about that old coot, Samuel? Does he know anything?â
Charles frowned. When he saw the nervous look on Noelleâs 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, âNelly 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...â Chuckling, he continued, âItâs 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 havenât spoken to him you yet.
âNelly 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!â
