The managers had met Selena before, and they all liked her."I don't want to be in showbiz. Don't even joke about it!" Selena firmly declined.She thought it was enough to have a family member in the entertainment industry. Her heart was set on running a flower shop. The managers understood Selena's wishes and didn't press her."Ms. Stanton, we should find some new talent. Our team can't handle the workload anymore," one manager suggested.Celia nodded and fixed her gaze on Selena."Quit staring. It's creepy! I'm out of here." Selena immediately walked away."What do you think about Yardley? Could he be an artist?" Celia had been mulling it over.The managers averted their gaze, occasionally taking sips of their water. They were uncertain whether to speak up or not."Maybe ask Yardley about it. He might say yes," Celia suggested.They were afraid to approach Yardley, fearing it could cause trouble."Ms. Stanton, please spare us. This isn't a joke. Mr. Hughes has a huge compan

At Lorimer residence, Norman was unwilling to accept reality. He snatched the phone and stared fixedly at the two people in the photo."Impossible! This can't be happening!" he shouted.In the photo, Henry was holding Nicole's waist while tightly gripping her arm. Their intimate gesture unmistakably portrayed them as a loving couple.Norman's gaze darkened with shame and anger while his face turned icy cold and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.Seeing his reaction, Darlene smiled smugly. She couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire."Let it go, Norman. Nicole isn't worth your headache. Now she's with another man, probably enjoying herself every day!"This statement deeply pierced Norman's heart. His breathing became more rapid, and his fists unconsciously clenched.At this moment, he was conflicted. On one hand, he couldn't accept Nicole being with Henry, and on the other, he was filled with self-blame and regret.If he hadn't slept with Darlene under the influence of al
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 847 You Have No Right to Drive Me Away
"Henry, my stomach is hurting again!"In just a few seconds, pain spread across Nicole's previously calm face. She bent over and clutched her abdomen, realizing that her swollen belly was rapidly tightening.Henry quickly crouched down in this sudden situation and asked, "Is it very painful? Hang on, I'll go get a nurse, alright?"At that moment, Nicole was already sweating, and her breathing became rapid. With much effort, she said, "Okay… Go quickly."Immediately, he rushed off to get the nearest nurse to attend to Nicole. After a brief examination, the nurse found Nicole to be experiencing severe contractions, so she promptly led her to skip the queue for an early examination.According to the doctor's diagnosis, Nicole was showing signs of preterm labor. However, since the baby wasn't full-term and due to inadequate delivery conditions, she could only be admitted for observation.During this time, Henry was constantly busy. He first helped with the hospitalization pro
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 848 Emergency Situation
Norman strode over to the bed and forcefully grabbed Nicole's arm to prevent her from avoiding the confrontation."Answer me first. Whose child are you carrying? Did you deceive me?"At the moment, anger had clouded his mind while wrenching pain overwhelmed his heart. For a long time, he had trusted her completely. He had even been willing to quarrel with Clarissa for her sake.In the past few days, he had searched the entire city just so he could bring her back to his side. He had even mentally prepared himself to cut ties with Clarissa, disregarding right and wrong, just to be with her.Now, Nicole had refused to give a definite answer. It was indeed a fatal blow to him. It shattered his beliefs and hopes simultaneously.But Nicole was furious as well. The more Norman wanted to know the truth, the less willing she was to tell it."Whose child it is doesn't matter. I'm the baby's mother anyway!" she responded coldly.She pointed at the door. "I said I don't want to see yo
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 849 At Each Other's Throats
The atmosphere was tense inside and outside the delivery room.Not only did Nicole's preterm labor require urgent attention, but the two men in the corridor were also on the verge of confrontation.Henry paid no attention to Norman's self-righteous, mocking attitude. Instead, his disdain for the latter only deepened."You're wrong. I have never clung to Nicole. On the contrary, I left her because I wanted her to be happy!" Standing tall, he said sincerely, "Now, I take care of her willingly, even if the child isn't mine."Upon hearing this, Norman restrained the sarcasm on his lips. Henry's tolerance and deep affection for Nicole made him even more jealous.Not only did he not want to accept Nicole's indifference and avoidance, but he was also unwilling to let Henry take advantage of the situation."Please have some self-awareness. I'm the child's father. Now that Nicole and I have a child, we will be bound together for a lifetime!"Norman tried hard to emphasize his importanc

"My daughter is having a difficult delivery?"Fantine felt her knees go weak after hearing the nurse's statement. Fortunately, Celia was there to support her.Others were equally worried as they surrounded the nurse and bombarded her with questions. After some discussion, they unanimously made a decision to safeguard Nicole's life. Gregory signed the informed consent form immediately.Then came the long and agonizing wait. During this time, Gregory and Fantine remained outside the delivery room, staring fixedly at the door.Norman and Henry were lost in their own thoughts as they maintained a few feet between them, occasionally exchanging glances. Celia was also anxious. She hoped for the safety of both mother and child.Another hour passed, and the old couple was still a bundle of nerves. Suddenly, the cries of a baby echoed from the delivery room."Oh my! Did you hear that?"Instantly, Gregory's eyes lit up. Although the cries were faint, he had been listening attentively
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 851 Keeping It Secret
When Norman returned home that evening, he behaved as usual, showing no signs of the joy usually associated with becoming a father.Although Nicole and the baby were safe, he felt like an outsider. Weighed down by the frustration, he slowly climbed the stairs. He wanted to take a shower and change his clothes.However, before he could reach the room, Clarissa suddenly emerged from her room. Noticing his listless appearance, she stepped forward and reproached him, "Where did you go again today? You've been out doing nothing all day long."At that moment, Norman did not feel like talking. Yet when faced with Clarissa, who was as persistent as always, he had no choice but to give an answer. "I had things to attend to during the day.""What business could you possibly have to attend to?" Unconvinced, Clarissa scoffed sarcastically."You've turned yourself into a complete mess. You look neither like a human nor a ghost! If the reporters catch you like this, you'll become a laughing s
Shh! Don't Let Him Know! Chapter 852 Daydreaming
Following Celia's advice, Norman gave up trying to go into the ward. He sat on a bench in the corridor, and decided that he should protect Nicole in his own way.Half an hour passed like that. He vaguely heard conversations coming from the ward. A smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. As long as she was safe and sound, it did not matter, even if she chose not to forgive him. A sense of emptiness crept into his heart, and he started to feel tired. He had not slept well the night before because his mind had been filled with thoughts on how to mend their relationship.After all, their daughter had already been born. For her sake, couldn't they resolve any misunderstandings or grievances?As he contemplated that, he heard footsteps approaching from nearby. Subconsciously, he turned his head, only to find Henry slowly walking toward him with a lunchbox in his hands.Upon seeing Henry, the weariness on Norman's face disappeared instantly. He stood up to meet Henry and bluntly q

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..."

"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?"

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?"

"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?"
