Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 24 Dropped Something
Yardley had appeared in front of Celia, seemingly out of nowhere. He was wearing nothing but a white bathrobe that revealed his well-defined eight-pack abs. His chiseled jaw was clenched due to the slight pain from being bumped on the chin. Water droplets glistened at the tips of his wet hair, which clung to his head. Celia fell into a daze. She had to admit that this man certainly was handsome. "Are you done gawking?" Yardley asked when he noticed Celia lost in thought while staring at him."When did you get here? I didn't hear you." Celia snapped back to reality. She rubbed her head and averted her gaze. "Could you perhaps cover up?"Yardley's slender fingers elegantly buttoned up his shirt. He looked at Celia, slightly amused. "Weren't you the one who bumped into me first?" The nerve she had to complain about the way he dressed when she was the one in his way in the first place."I-I'm going to take a shower." Celia felt a little flustered after being stared at by him. Sh

"Celia, you've joined the secretarial department for a few days now. Follow up on our company's collaboration with Lady Couture for the next season," Sabrina said. There was an almost undetectable hint of jealousy in her eyes.She then handed some documents to Celia. "Here's the information about the collaboration. Do take a look at them promptly."Celia took the documents and glanced at them. "Okay."She turned around and returned to her own seat.Sabrina's jealousy intensified as she stared at Celia's back. She'd always been the one in charge of the project with Lady Couture. Alas, Yardley called her that morning. He asked her to let Celia handle the project instead.Why could she take over just like that? How would a country bumpkin like her be capable enough? Did she get the project because she was Yardley's fiancée?Just then, Sabrina received a text message. It read: "How's the progress?"It was from Willow.Sabrina thought for a moment and quickly replied: "Don't worry
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 26 She Is Leo
Celia pushed Yardley out and closed the door behind him.As the door closed with a loud bang, Yardley felt frustrated. It was the first time someone dared to send him away. To make matters worse, it was a woman who shut him out!Originally, he wanted to ask if work was going well for her. He'd purposely asked Sabrina to hand over the Lady Couture project to her in order to train her.For a newcomer like Celia, taking on such a big project would be challenging. Thus, Yardley had made up his mind to guide her personally.Now, it seemed unnecessary because Celia didn't need it at all.Celia, of course, had no idea about Yardley's thoughts. If she knew he planned to train her like she was a newbie, she would be amused.After sending Yardley away, Celia took out a compact laptop from her suitcase and opened an encrypted file. The designs for her new collection of dresses were in it.Celia was actually the world's most famous fashion designer, Leo.But who was Leo?Two yea
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 27 The Gift
Willow was clearly challenging Celia.She was sure that a country bumpkin like Celia wouldn't be able to afford anything worthwhile. In fact, she might have come empty-handed. Through this comparison, Otto would see who was a proper young lady from a noble family worthy of Yardley.Willow knew that Otto had a lot of say in Yardley's marriage. Thus, she had to seize the opportunity to change his mind.Recently, Willow had been experimenting with different ways to please Lilian and gain her approval. But even with her best efforts, Yardley remained cold and distant toward her.Lilian told her that Otto picked Celia for Yardley. Hence, he had no choice but to accept the fiancée that was forced onto him. If Willow could leave a good impression on Otto and embarrass Celia, she would gain his favor and become the young madam of the Hughes family."I didn't prepare anything." Celia was not nervous.Disdain flashed in Willow's eyes. As she thought, this country bumpkin had prepared nothi
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 28 Thank You
Celia gave a slight bow and said, "Pardon me. I need to step out for a moment.""Where are you going?" Yardley frowned, sounding a bit displeased. "We're about to have lunch."What could be so important that she had to excuse herself immediately?"I have something urgent to attend to." Celia stood up and walked toward the door.She called the vet and inquired, "Dr. Zabel, it's me, Celia. How's the dog I brought in last time?"Dr. Zabel answered, "It has fully recovered."Celia nodded. "I'll come to pick it up now."When she saw the photo earlier, Celia noticed that the dog in Otto's arms looked very similar to the stray dog she'd rescued before. The collar it wore was exactly the same.Celia was almost certain that the stray dog she'd rescued was the one Otto had lost.Hearing from Yardley that Otto had a deep bond with the dog, she decided to immediately bring the dog back and hand it over to Otto.Seeing Celia suddenly leave, Lilian was unhappy. "What is she doing? How rude
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 29 Complete Defeat
Celia met Yardley's deep gaze and smiled sweetly. "It was just a small favor. It's nothing.""Cece, come sit down and eat. Ramsey, bring Cece a plate," Otto instructed. He was delighted to have Dolly back."Yes, Mr. Hughes Senior." Ramsey immediately gave the order.As he spoke, Otto moved his seat aside. He motioned for Celia to sit next to Yardley."You're too kind, Grandpa Hughes." Celia took the empty seat beside Yardley and smiled gently."Celia, thank you for bringing Dolly back to me." Otto held onto Dolly affectionately, reluctant to let go. He looked at Celia very gratefully.If it weren't for Celia, he might never have seen Dolly again in his lifetime. Should he meet his late wife in the afterlife, he wouldn't know what to say to her about Dolly's disappearance.Thankfully, Dolly was back."It was sheer luck that I happened to come across Dolly." Celia lowered her head and petted Dolly.Its fur was fluffy and soft. It felt good to touch. The pet hospital took good ca
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 30 Apologize to Her
Looking in the direction that the store assistant was pointing to, Willow saw a breathtaking woman. She looked as if she'd descended from the heavens while wearing the pure white Elsa series dress.The off-shoulder design exposed her alluring collarbones, and the mermaid hem accentuated her tall figure. The dress showcased her graceful curves to perfection.She looked noble, refined, and graceful. But at the same time, she also had a hint of playfulness. Willow was busy admiring the lady until she came to a sudden realization. She screamed inwardly, "Isn't this Celia? How could she be so beautiful!"Willow's eyes flashed with envy as she pointed at Celia and said to the store assistant, "I'm buying that dress! Wrap it up for me!"The store assistant seemed conflicted. "But ... this young lady said that she'd buy the dress just now.""Has she paid for it?" Willow questioned rudely.The store assistant hesitated for a moment. "No, not yet.""If she hasn't paid, then she hasn't b
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 31 Always Triumphant
"Ms. Stanton? Apologize?" Willow mused as she couldn't believe what had unfolded before her. "Mr. Woodward, the manager of this establishment, wants me to apologize to Celia? How's that possible?"Lisa was the first among the two to voice how outraged she felt. Her jaw tightened with every shrieking word that left her mouth. "Are you mistaken, Mr. Woodward? Why are you apologizing to her? Willow's interested in that dress. Plus, you always known Willow, the most beloved granddaughter of Old Mr. Xanders! Offending Willow means you're offending Old Mr. Xanders himself! Are you aware of what becomes of those that cross the Xanders family? Are you even able to bear the consequences?"Walter didn't care to respond to Lisa. Instead, he wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief before resuming his apology to Celia. "Ms. Stanton, to prove how sincerely sorry we are, RD Luxuries has decided to gift this dress to you, free of charge. I hope this appeases you." Moments ago

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.

"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.
