The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Truth be told, Peter had been on an endless search for her, never once taking a break during all these years. Charles had seen it all, which was why he had agreed to lend a hand. Tania was not just some girl. She was his so-called sister, the apple of his uncle and aunt's eye. Noelle's eyes widened in surprise. "So, he's been searching for Tania all this time?" She smacked her forehead. "I should've seen that coming. Otherwise, Charles wouldn't have offered to help out."

Charles might come off as a bit of a distant figure, but Noelle knew better. Underneath that reserved exterior was a heart of gold, especially when it came to his loved ones. To Charles, Peter and Tania were practically family.

"So, what's the game plan? Convincing your uncle and aunt won't be a walk in the park, right? Tania is their daughter, and they still haven't cleared up that old misunderstanding with Peter."

"I'm thinking of approaching my aunt first." Charles said.

Noelle nodded in agreement. "Your aunt does seem more approachable, but is she up for this, with her health?"

"Don't sweat it. She's tougher than we give her credit for, but we've got to keep this under wraps from my uncle for now. He wasn't exactly Peter's biggest fan back in the day. Imagine if his long-lost kid, who he should be showering with love, ends up getting hurt by the Lennon family."
