Chapter 188


    Charles took the paper and nced at it, his brows furrowing together. “Are you sure?”


    Sean replied, “Don’t you trust me? I tested it myself. So, you need to be careful, and keep an eye


    on your


    wife.”


    “Yes. I understand,” Charles nodded, putting away the test results. “Since you’re here, stay for


    dinner.”


    “Of course.”


    The two friends went downstairs together, and they could hear the pleasantughter of the three


    women in the living room. Charles‘ lips curled into a warm smile.


    Sean nced at Charles and chuckled. “You’re definitely smitten.”


    Charles shot him a look. “Don’t want dinner anymore?”


    Sean shrugged helplessly. “I’m just joking. No need to be so serious!”


    Noelle and Rowena were reminiscing about their school days, sharing embarrassing stories from


    when


    were ssmates and dorm mates. They knew each other inside out.


    “What are you lovelydies talking about?” Sean walked over, smiling harmlessly.

    Sean raised an eyebrow and nodded. “Yes, Ms. Rowena. Why?


    Rowena gritted her teeth. “So, you were the one who taunted us on the road earlier?”


    Sean saw Rowena’s angry expression and realized that he might have indeed taunted them earlier.


    The car he had seen was one he had lost to Charles in a bet, and he had thought it was Charles


    driving it


    slowly.


    So, he overtook it and teased the driver. He had assumed it was Charles and had been puzzled


    when the car had not caught up. Now, he understood the misunderstanding.


    “Did Charles give that car to you, Noelle?” Sean asked Noelle.


    Noelle nodded. “Phoenix Tree Residence is quite far from the office, so…”


    “I see.” Sean smiled harmlessly again. “That car was one I lost to Charles in a bet. You know as well


    that Charles doesn’t like that style, so he never drives it. It suits you well.”

    was why he taunted them.


    “Oh, I guess it’s just a misunderstanding.” Noelle smiled. “I’ll go check on Charles in the kitchen.


    You all sit tight!”


    Noelle headed to the kitchen, leaving the others to chat.
