Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 484 Tense Lunch
Otto rose to answer the door, but Yardley stopped him. The latter said with a grin, "I'll go. You and Grandpa Barnaby can catch up."Celia accompanied Yardley to the door and opened it. At the entrance, they found Lillian and Quinn standing there.When Lillian locked eyes with Celia, her smile vanished right away. She questioned aloud, "Why are you here too?""Why can't I be here?" Celia asked with an expressionless face.She frowned slightly, wondering why Lillian and Quinn had suddenly appeared. Today was supposed to be a joyful occasion, with Barnaby returning from his overseas trip. But now, her mood soured upon seeing these two women."Mom, we're celebrating Grandpa Barnaby's return today. Of course Celia is here," Yardley responded coldly. He couldn't allow anyone to belittle Celia.Quinn felt jealous upon seeing how protective Yardley was of Celia. She secretly vowed to chase Celia away from Yardley. She believed that only she deserved the title of Mrs. Hughes.Lillian wa

Celia's pleasant mood was ruined by Lillian and Quinn during lunch."Gramps, you should stay here. Yardley and I will go back first," Celia said listlessly to Barnaby while getting up from her seat.Barnaby would only be around for a few days. After attending Celia and Yardley's engagement ceremony, he would continue to tour around the world.Hence, Celia had arranged for Barnaby to stay at old Hughes estate, as per his wishes. "Alright." Barnaby nodded with a smile.Despite Lillian and Quinn constantly stirring up trouble, Barnaby was content as long as Yardley backed Celia up and protected her. Moreover, he believed in Celia's abilities. She could definitely handle these two troublesome women.After they left the old Hughes estate, Celia got into Yardley's car. "Could you please take me back to the Lunaria? I feel a bit tired and need to rest.""What's wrong? Is everything okay?" Yardley's gaze held a touch of concern.Celia smiled. "It's nothing. I’m just tired.""Alrigh

Josef gazed at Celia with deep affection in his eyes. "Ms. Stanton, please give me a chance and get to know me better. I believe you'll find that I'm more suitable for you than Yardley.""There's no need." Celia massaged her temples. Then, she patiently said, "I've already found my true love—Yardley. We love each other, so there's no possibility of us separating. "Prince Josef, with your reception all standing, you'll certainly find a girl who's better and more suitable for you."Celia's clear rejection hurt Josef's feelings. His entire life, he had always been the one to reject others. He had never been rejected by a woman before. Celia was the first and only one.The feeling of being rejected was a bitter pill for Josef to swallow. However, it further ignited his desire to win Celia over.He raised his head, his deep blue eyes filled with determination. "Celia, you may not like me, but you can't stop me from liking you. I have the right to pursue you!"Celia felt exasperated

"Do you like Yardley?" Josef asked. He didn't know who Willow was, but as long as she liked Yardley, this could work.Willow nodded graciously, crossing her arms. "Yes, I like him, and I also know Celia. So Ican help you get her, and we both get what we want.""Sure!" Josef agreed without hesitation. He took out his phone and exchanged contact numbers with Willow.After Josef went away, Willow revealed a faint, cold smile. She glanced at the number on her phone screen and smirked with satisfaction as she put her phone away.She rejoiced, thinking even God was helping her.After returning home, Willow looked around. When she realized that Marc hadn't come back yet, she sat on the couch and pretended to casually wait for him.After about 40 minutes, Marc finally returned home. When Willow had come back, it had been almost 8:00 pm. Marc had a business dinner and had been representing the company. His suit smelled of smoke and alcohol."Willow, didn't you go out to relax today?" M

"Alright, I know. Don't blame yourself," Celia said, looking at the angry and aggrieved expression on Josef's face. She found herself in a somewhat helpless but comical situation. The only thing she could do was pat Josef's shoulder gently to comfort him."What do we do now?" Josef asked, believing in everything Celia had told him.He felt betrayed, especially after learning that he had been manipulated. His pursuit of love and fondness for Celia took a back seat in his mind at the moment.Celia had an idea. Since Willow seemed so eager to set her up to sleep with Josef, she decided to play along.She leaned closer to Josef and whispered something in his ear. Although Josef didn't seem thrilled with the idea, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.Following this, Celia and Josef went to the reception to register their identification details. Josef even put his arm around Celia, while Celia appeared quite intoxicated. She leaned her head on Josef's shoulder.A woman sat on a couc

Yardley nodded in response. Suddenly, he let out a low, deep chuckle that sent shivers down Celia's spine. She put on the coat that was thrown on the bed and went to knock on the door of the adjacent room. Josef appeared with an unamused and somewhat disdainful expression."Did the plan succeed?" Josef looked gloomy, his face devoid of any trace of a smile. Yet, he didn't seem angry either.Celia nodded and returned to the original room with Josef. She turned toward him and formally expressed her gratitude. "Thank you, Josef. If it hadn’t been for you, I might have ended up in the news again today."As she spoke, she glanced at Yardley. Josef had complicated feelings. He refused to believe that he had no way of competing with Yardley fairly. Yardley smiled and took a step forward, his attitude more sincere and humble this time. He extended his hand toward Josef and said, "Thank you. If it hadn’t been for you, Celia might have fallen victim to someone else's scheming. I rea

"Alright, I'll have some later." Nicole accepted the chicken soup and nodded.The aroma of the chicken soup wafted over again, making Nicole feel nauseous. Her face turned pale, and she accidentally spilled the soup on the floor.Upon seeing all the wasted chicken soup, Clarissa felt distressed and exasperated."How could you waste it like this? I took good care of you as Norman asked, and you don't even appreciate it," Clarissa scolded Nicole after giving her a fierce glare.Nicole's face paled. Feeling sorry for her actions, she quickly tried to make amends to avoid making Clarissa even angrier. "I didn't do it on purpose. I've been having a very upset stomach these two days. I'll clean up the soup on the carpet in a while."Norman heard the commotion in the house just as he returned home. He immediately surmised that Nicole and his mother must be in conflict again.He put down his things and hurriedly went upstairs. "Nicole, Mom, what's going on?"As soon as he reached the

"Hello, nice to meet you. Norman didn't tell me that you two were getting married, so I didn't prepare a gift. I'll make up for it when I come to visit Clarissa next time," Darlene said magnanimously despite feeling jealous inside.She acted as if she didn't mind at all.Nicole, however, perceived that Darlene's gaze was fixed on Norman. Her intuition told her that Darlene liked Norman while a hint of doubt arose in her heart."It's okay. They haven't held the wedding yet." Clarissa held Darlene's hand and said, "I still remember how you and Norman used to play together in our house when you were kids. You even said you wanted to marry Norman when you grew up."Clarissa deliberately mentioned this right before Nicole.Darlene blushed slightly. "I was just a child and didn't know better when I said those words. Both Norman and I have grown up now."She then looked at Norman with a pretentious air of innocence and kindness."You're still the same as your younger self, Darlene. You

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

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
