The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Chapter 169



Mr. Hoffman?

Rowena felt confused. When she looked up, she saw a man in a light brown suit step in. He was tall, and his neat suit made him look very respectable. However, there was something chilly about him, especially his eyes.

When Rowena accidentally caught his icy stare, she felt a shiver run through her. She bit her lip and swallowed hard. "Um... you can't stay in this room, I..."

Rowena was frightened, but she thought of Noelle in the next room and knew she could not leave. She had to stay put.

"Rowena?" The man spoke up, his eyebrows coming together slightly and his voice carrying a note of certainty.

Rowena jumped, feeling even more nervous then. The man had a powerful aura, and he had so many men with him. However, after thinking it over, Rowena could not recall offending anyone. "Who are you?"

"Charles!" Charles introduced himself.

Rowena, who had been so flustered, suddenly brightened at the mention of Charles' name. She quickly responded, "That's right, I'm Rowena, Noelle's best friend. Mr. Hoffman, huh? Noelle's told me about you. You're her husband, haha!"
