The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Chapter 896

Tania claimed that Brandon was not Peter's child, but judging by the way Brandon acted around Peter, the affection between them could not be faked.

Peter, who was usually so high and mighty, treated Brandon with such care even though Tania had claimed that the boy was not his. It showed just how deeply Peter loved Tania.

Noelle did not know exactly what had transpired between the two of them, but she secretly hoped they could start over. However, thinking about Tania's marriage made Noelle worry that Peter's path might be a difficult one. Watching the heartwarming scene unfold before her, Noelle could not resist taking a photo and sending it to Charles. "Charlie, look at this. Don't they look like a happy little family?"

Charles was in the middle of a meeting with senior executives. He had strictly ordered that phones were not allowed during meetings, and even if someone brought one, it had to be on silent. However, while a certain department head was giving his report, a ringtone suddenly echoed in the room. It rang for a full 30 seconds. Everyone froze, not daring to move. They looked like statues.

Eyes darted around discreetly, trying to figure out who was brave-or foolish enough to have their phone on during a meeting.

Then, to everyone's shock, Charles casually propped his hand against his face, pulled his phone out of his pocket, and calmly unlocked it.

When he saw the short video and Noelle's message, his expression softened, and a smile crept across his lips.

Charles Hoffman smiled. He actually smiled? All he did was glance at his phone!
