Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 162 No Engagement Banquet Tonight
Sadness and determination swirled in Celia's eyes. She met Yardley's gaze before turning around and walking away. Her steps were unusually heavy. It felt as though each step required a great deal of strength.She walked out of the door in a daze. Nicole approached her, panting. "Celia, I've searched over there, but I didn't see Yardley …" "You don't have to look for him anymore," Celia said coldly, her nails digging deeply into her flesh. The pain in her hands spread throughout her body. Yet she remained oblivious to it because the pain in her heart was ten thousand times worse! "What's wrong?" Nicole inquired hastily. She was immediately concerned when she noticed Celia's hardened expression. "Let's go!" Celia snapped back to reality and pulled Nicole toward the road. The taxi they had taken earlier was still there. The driver had just returned from a quick bathroom break.He was just about to start the car when Celia opened the door, climbed inside, and s
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 163 The Engagement Banquet Is Canceled
Celia stepped out of the taxi. Her beautiful face wore a cold expression. She walked straight down the red carpet toward the center of the banquet hall. Her feet felt as if they were made of lead; each step weighed her down.Otto hurriedly stood up and approached Celia. He asked with concern, "Cece, why are you here by yourself? Where's Yardley? Why isn't he with you?" Celia stopped in her tracks and replied flatly, "He won't be coming.""What?" Otto was taken aback. He had no idea what she meant by that. Why wouldn't Yardley be coming? Otto was curious about what had happened to him.He wanted to ask Celia what was going on. But she walked past him and continued forward with a determined look in her eyes.Everyone in the banquet hall sensed something was amiss with Celia. They couldn't help but whisper to each other. "What's going on?" "Why is the bride the only one here? Where's Mr. Hughes?""Tsk tsk. Could Mr. Hughes have had a last-minute change of heart about
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 164 Heart Attack
Yardley had both of Celia's hands in his grip. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free."Why on earth do you want to call off the engagement, Celia?" He repeated it when he noticed her silence. Celia was briefly moved by his demeanor.She closed her eyes. The image of Yardley and Candy embracing each other tightly in the afternoon flashed before her once more, making her heart ache.She took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was cold and indifferent. "Why? Shouldn't you know why?" Yardley froze. How was he supposed to know why? He didn't know anything at all!"Is it … because of Candy?" He frowned. "Didn't I tell you that I would explain the situation about Candy to you?" "Explain?" Celia plastered a smile on her face. What was there to explain when the truth was right in front of her? Just then, Otto walked into the lounge with Ramsey's support. "Yardley, Cece, what exactly are you two up to?" he inquired as soon as
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 165 How Is My Grandpa
This was supposed to be the most lively and grand engagement celebration in the world. But it had ended before it even began. Celia's heart ached as if it had been sledgehammered repeatedly."Celia Stanton, you wretch! Are you happy now that you've jeopardized Grandpa's life?“ Quinn pointed a finger at Celia and scolded her.Lillian also joined in. "Celia Stanton, if anything happens to Dad, we won't let you off the hook!" She raised her hand and attempted to slap Celia. Celia's gaze turned cold as she grabbed Lillian's hand and pushed her. "I'm also deeply saddened that Grandpa Hughes had a heart attack. But do you dare say that you bear no responsibility for his illness? Who was it that kept saying things to provoke him just now?" "How dare you twist the facts?" Quin hurriedly supported Lillian. "Aunt Lillian, are you okay?" The reporters surrounded Celia and bombarded her with questions. "Ms. Stanton, what are your thoughts on Mr. Hughes Senior's illness?"
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 166 His Situation Isn't Looking Good
Dr. Nero pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "The surgery was very successful." Hearing that, Yardley breathed a sigh of relief. However, Dr. Nero cautiously added, "But …" Yardley's heart palpitated as he asked, "But what?" "But we aren't optimistic about his condition," Dr. Nero carefully continued. "I can't guarantee that he'll wake up." Yardley's expression darkened, and his voice turned hoarse as he said, "That's impossible! My grandfather is going to be fine!" A nurse soon pushed a mobile hospital bed out."Grandpa." Yardley stood by the hospital bed, lowered his head, and gazed at the unconscious Otto. He felt as though a knife had been stabbed into his heart.Quinn stepped forward. "Yardley, don't worry too much. Grandpa will be just fine." He nodded calmly.… The next day, the weather was gloomy. Celia opened her eyes groggily, and a white glass lamp came into view. Where was she?She rubb
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 167 Meeting Candy Again
Celia yanked her arm away and glanced at Quinn coldly. "Quinn Hughes, drop your nasty behavior! I didn't come here to argue with you today. I just want to see Grandpa Hughes." "Aunt Lillian, look at Celia! She's cursing at me!" Quinn tugged at Lillian's hand pitifully.Lillian frowned and raised her voice. "Listen here, Celia Stanton. Our family has nothing to do with you. Don't even think about bothering Yardley again! You're not welcome here. Leave!""Could you please step aside?" Celia just wanted to see Otto as soon as possible and didn't want to waste her breath arguing with them. She pushed past Lillian and walked straight ahead.Lillian rushed over and barked at the security guards as Celia was about to reach the door of the room. "What are you guys waiting for? Why haven't you driven her away yet? She's not allowed to come over here again in the future!"The bodyguards exchanged a glance and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ms. Stanton, please leave." Celia gl
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 168 Two Hearts Beating as One
Celia's heart skipped a beat.The image of Yardley holding Candy tightly at the farmhouse cabin in Mount Sunny came to her mind once again.Candy could only be here right now because of Yardley. Did Yardley refuse to let Celia see Otto because he had plans with Candy?"Do you know her?" Parker was curious when he noticed Celia's cold expression and unwavering gaze on that woman. Celia smiled wryly. "She's Candy.""That woman's Candy?" Parker followed Celia's line of sight and saw Angelica's silhouette disappear at the hospital's entrance. Celia averted her gaze. Suppressing her emotions, she said calmly, "Let's go." Angelica asked around and made her way up to the eighth floor of the hospital with her thermos flask.She noticed that there were guards guarding the innermost room, so she walked over and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Hughes Senior staying in this room?" The black-clad bodyguard waved his hand impatiently. "Miss, please leave."There had been persiste
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 169 Celia Has Moved Away
"What kind of person is he?" Yardley inquired as he narrowed his eyes.Dr. Nero glanced at Otto's electrocardiogram monitor.Then, he said, "Dr. Fletcher used to be renowned for his skills in traditional Eldorian medicine. He is an exceptional doctor, and he cured a lot of terminally ill patients. However, something happened 20 years ago, and he disappeared.""He disappeared?"Yardley's expression hardened, and his tone became urgent. "Where is he now?" Dr. Nero sighed and shook his head. "I don't know. Or perhaps I should say that no one knows." Yardley's initial ray of hope instantly faded. He pressed his thin lips tightly together. He remained silent for a moment before asking, "What happened 20 years ago?"Dr. Nero sighed softly. "I don't know the specifics of what happened. I only heard from my mentor that whatever happened had a huge impact on him. "Dr. Fletcher disappeared after that incident. Since then, a lot of people have tried to find him, but to no av

In fact, Yardley didn't tell anyone. … Meanwhile, Morgan stumbled upon a surprising find. She discovered two healthy, month-old babies at the orphanage. "Director, is it true that no one wants such young babies?" Morgan felt a bit emotional. How could people be so heartless as to abandon their own babies? The director of the orphanage let out a deep sigh. "You don't know the whole story. Our janitor found these babies at the orphanage's entrance. Someone left them there and disappeared. "We've been taking care of them for about half a month now, and their condition has improved significantly." Looking at the adorable babies, Morgan couldn't shake the feeling that they belonged to Celia. "I'm here on behalf of Yardley Hughes else to adopt these children, but..." Morgan expressed her concerns. Morgan anticipated the orphanage director's refusal. To her surprise, he actually agreed. "The opportunity for these two babies to have some good days is preferable to nothing.
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 906 Baby Boy
"Let's go, Celia. We shouldn't disturb the twins' rest," said Yardley as he supported Celia and got ready to leave. Celia waved her hand and stood in front of the incubator. Even with the glass barrier, she could still discern the condition of her children. She reached out to touch them, as if her touch could make them feel her presence. She resolved to take her children home safely. Celia lingered for a while before finally leaving the hospital. Once they were home, Celia locked herself in her room, disregarding any attempts anyone made to talk to her. Yardley headed to the company to attend to some matters, while the housekeepers remained at home. Meanwhile, Morgan couldn't shake her concern for Celia, so she came to visit her. Upon entering, she heard the housekeepers upstairs calling out, "Mrs. Hughes, are you feeling better? Come out and have some soup!" However, there was no response from inside. "What's going on?" Morgan asked. The housekeepers promptly briefed
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 905 Fragile Babies
Sophie had failed to get Celia's forgiveness. So, she had no choice but to pin all her hopes on Morgan.She took all the supplements to Morgan's apartment. Richard was staying there with her.Ever since the incident with Celia, Sophie's relationship with Richard had become very strained. They barely talked to one another.Sophie knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out.She could only wait outside. After two hours, she finally saw Morgan and Richard. They came into view, laughing and holding each other's hands.This scene pained Sophie deeply."What are you doing here?" Morgan's cheerful expression faltered the moment she saw Sophie.Sophie could only put on a smile and say, "I brought all these for you. I was wrong to come between your relationship with my son."Richard glanced at the items on the ground. He could tell from a glance that they were meant for postpartum care and immediately understood why Sophie was there."Mom, you should be honest. You got the

Otto didn't back down and insisted on his right to see his grandchildren. However, Yardley paid him no mind. He shook his head and said, "Celia needs rest. Please come back another day."The next second, he instructed the housekeepers to close the door and left Otto standing outside. Otto stomped his walking cane on the ground in frustration but had no choice but to leave.As Yardley made his way back inside the villa, he thought of another troubling matter.Although they had brought their children home, the twins had been weak because they had been born prematurely. They had appointed a family doctor to treat the twins but hadn't seen much improvement in their health. Yardley sanitized himself before he went into the nursery. He felt pained when he heard the twins' weak breaths."Mr. Hughes." The family doctor spoke up with a frown, indicating that the situation was far from ideal."The baby girl has been slowly recovering, but the boy remains very weak. I don't think the n

"Don't worry. She's fine. She's just a bit weak at the moment."Remembering Yardley's words outside the ward, the doctor felt a wave of nervousness. He could tell that Yardley and Celia weren't ordinary people judging by their attire. They were certainly not ones to be trifled with."Did you say that we had twins?" Yardley turned to ask the nurse after learning that Celia was alright."Yes, sir." The nurse chuckled inwardly. She found that, despite Yardley's intimidating appearance, he was a very devoted husband.Soon, Celia was moved out of the operating room and into a VIP ward.Yardley gently wiped the sweat from Celia's face again. He took in her pale complexion; it was a sign of how much she had suffered."How's Celia?"Sounds of hurried footsteps came from outside. Ashley and the others had come over. Yardley turned and signaled them to leave.Celia had just given birth, so she needed a quiet environment to rest. Having too many visitors might affect her recovery.Ever

"How could you hit me because of her? I'm the mother of your child!" Sophie shrieked.She had never suffered such humiliation. She had been showered with love from a young age and wasn't accustomed to such harsh treatment. So, she became agitated and emotional."Isn't it all because of you that things turned out this way? Would such a thing have happened to our company? Would Richard suddenly want to break all ties with us? It's all because of your reckless behavior!" Chester vented years of suppressed grievances and dissatisfaction as if it would make him feel better.Celia watched as Chester and Sophie argued fiercely. She stepped forward to stop them, especially since there were many people outside watching the spectacle."Stop fighting. This isn't the time or the place for arguments!"Sophie went at Chester and started hitting him. Celia tried to break up their fight, but Sophie pushed her. Celia took a few steps back at that. She didn't attempt to intervene anymore."It's

"Mrs. Black, we'd intended to negotiate amicably with you and achieve a satisfactory outcome for both parties. "The decision to move out was mine, and I asked Celia to come over and help me out. If you're unwilling to be decent and compromise, then let's end things between our families here."Morgan felt relieved after expressing her thoughts. It was like a significant weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "What do you mean?" Richard panicked. Just when their relationship had slightly improved, the situation took a turn for the worse again."We're breaking up for good!"Morgan left after saying that. Jessica and Darby left with her, leaving the Blacks behind."This is all your doing! Look what you've done! How many times have I told you not to be so assertive and bossy? Why don't you ever consider my feelings?" Richard punched the couch angrily, his heart filled with bitterness.Sophie hadn't wanted things to turn out this way either, but she had been too angry and spoke

"It's fine. You two can go if you have something else to attend to," Jessica said.Soon, Celia arrived at the Blacks' residence with Jessica and Darby.Sophie opened the door and was surprised to see Celia standing at the doorstep with Jessica and Darby. She couldn't understand what Celia was up to.Once they were inside, Celia didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly. "I think you might be having some misunderstandings about Morgan."Sophie smiled without saying anything."Don't you think you're interfering too much in Morgan's personal life?" Celia questioned.Upon hearing this, Sophie realized why they were there. Having discussed the issue with Chester, Sophie had finally agreed not to interfere in Richard's and Morgan's lives.So, she didn't object to Celia's words. She even agreed with Celia, much to the latter's surprise.Under normal circumstances, Sophie would have argued with her. Why was she being so agreeable this time?"How about you sign a writ

After saying that, Celia hung up.On the other end, Quinn felt very displeased. After all, it was her party, and she had personally called Celia to invite her. Quinn felt that Celia had snubbed her by refusing to attend.Quinn thought about it for a moment. If Celia didn't come, Yardley probably wouldn't either. If both of them didn't show up, it would be embarrassing for Quinn.So, she decided to go and find Celia.…Morgan was taking refuge at Celia's place, so she answered the door when Quinn came over."I'm here to see Celia."Celia had instructed Morgan to turn away anyone she didn't recognize, no matter who it was. Hence, Morgan said, "Celia isn't seeing anyone today. Please come back another time."To Morgan's surprise, her words ignited the anger that Quinn had been suppressing in her heart. The two quickly started arguing.Celia listened to their argument from her room. She regretted asking Morgan to handle Quinn. She had expected that Quinn would come looking for her
