Chapter 298
Charles was not exactly young anymore. It was high time he got himself a partner.
Yet, over the years, he had not brought a single girl home. Furthermore, there was no sign of a relationship. This had become a source of distress for Wendy, and even Charlotte would inquire from time to time Everyone became interested, eager to know if Charles had a girlfriend. If he did, it would be wonderful.
In no time, Wendy dragged Charles to a secluded corridor. With no one around, she quickly asked, "Charles, do you have a girlfriend?"
Before Charles could answer, Wendy continued eagerly, "If you do, you should bring her home. Your grandmother has been nagging you, saying you've never had a girlfriend, and it's been bothering her."
"If you have a girlfriend, bring her to see your grandmother. She might be delighted and wake up soon."
Wendy could not hide her joy. After all these years, her son had not had a single girl by his side, and she was genuinely worried.
However, she understood his personality. He would not settle for anything he did not like. So, most of the time, she merely talked about it, reluctant to impose and affect his work.
However, if he really had a girlfriend now, she would be ecstatic!
Charles looked at the anticipation and excitement on Wendy's face, understanding his mother's anxiety in this matter.
"Not a girlfriend."
He knew his mother would be disappointed when he said it, but Charles chose honesty. The smile on Wendy's face vanished in an instant. "Not... not a girlfriend?"
"Then... the expression you had just now..." Wendy pointed at Charles's face.
Just a moment ago, she had clearly noticed a different demeanor in her son, and she was certain it was a girl.

Wendy was just pondering when Charles said, "It's a girl I'm currently pursuing."
At that moment, Wendy was stunned. Currently pursuing? Did that mean Charles liked someone?
Suddenly, Wendy's eyes lit up, and she immediately exclaimed, "Well, you should go quickly!"
"It's so late, and the girl must be tired from traveling. Why didn't you come with her? Look at you, coming alone and teaving the poor girl aside. What kind of behavior is that?"

"Hurry up, don't delay!" Wendy pushed Charles out in front of everyone, guiding him into the elevator.
Just before the elevator doors
closed, Wendy continued, "It's
already very late. Don't come back We'll be
at the hospital, in case.
anything happens. Take the

home, and I'll call Aunt Lilly to prepare a guest room."
Charles wanted to say he did not need that. He even considered explaining, but each time he attempted to speak, Wendy interrupted him.
He had not managed to utter a complete sentence as the elevator doors closed.
Charles stood in the elevator,
watching Wendy disappear from view. It was helpless, but a
persistent smile lingered in his eyes. Naomi had arrived at San Angelino. Coincidentally, Amelia and Grandma were in the same hospital. In that case, keeping it a secret from her was no longer an option.
Also, if she found out his grandmother was in this hospital, would she come to visit?
At that moment, Charles tensed up.
