The Cherished Wife novel Chapter 900

"And what about me?" Noelle asked with a playful, sad expression. "Brandon, do you only want your mommy and Mr. Lennon and not me?"

"Aunt Noelle, don't be sad! I like you too!" Brandon quickly ran over and gently took Noelle's hand, his small hand grasping hers as if he were comforting her. "I like Aunt Noelle the most! Aunt Noelle, come with us!"

"Such a sweet boy!" Noelle could not help but be charmed by him, and she lightly pinched Brandon's cheek. "Alright, let's go together!" She held his hand and started walking while Tania anxiously followed them.

Peter reached out and grabbed Tania's hand, making her freeze.

She quickly pulled her hand away and glared at Peter with cold, hard eyes. "Mr. Lennon, please behave yourself."

Each step Tania took felt like agony. The short walk from the hospital ward to the outside felt like an eternity to her.

By the time they finally reached the ground floor, Noelle had already been sitting by a flower bed with Brandon for a while. It was clear that Noelle genuinely enjoyed spending time with Brandon. She kept playing with him, making him laugh happily.

Seeing the gentle interaction between Noelle and Brandon softened Tania's expression.

She had not expected Brandon to be so open and willing to connect with others during this trip back. "Bran!"
