The bodyguard was flattered and immediately started teaching Mark. Mark didn't sleep at all for the next few hours. His surgery was scheduled for 9:00 am. By the time it started, Mark was exhausted and listless.

Noelle didn't want to be there, but as the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Lowe family, she had to come. Everyone from the Lowe family, except Fred and Chance, who was away on business, waited outside the operating room.

When Mark was wheeled out, Noelle instinctively reached for Quentin's hand, intertwining her fingers with his. He responded by enveloping her hand in his.

As soon as Mark saw their intertwined hands, he became even more determined to get rid of Noelle. He was wheeled into the ward, and the entire family gathered around him, asking him a million questions with worried faces.

Mark was exhausted. "I'm fine, so you can all go now. I only need Jan, Quentin, and Elle to stay." His relatives were afraid they'd disturb his rest, so all of them left.

    Janet felt a shiver run down her spine. She couldn't believe that the person she had shared her bed with for 30 years could be so cruel and shameless. "Damn, I actually feel a little sorry for his side chick now! After being with Mark for so many years, she probably never imagined she'd meet such a grim fate."Quentin fell silent. He didn't think Lorraine was pitiful; she had reaped what she sowed. After all, no woman with any self-respect would willingly be with a married man who was more than 20 years older than her. Noelle was drifting in and out of sleep when she heard hushed voices. She opened her eyes and saw Janet sitting beside her. "Mom," she called out.Janet's expression softened. "You're up! Don't go anywhere for now. Quentin will protect you."Noelle's eyes widened in surprise. Was she aware of what was going on?Janet said, "I know Mark wants to get rid of you. Don't worry. I won't let him have that chance. We can't get rid of him ourselves because it would ruin the

    Olivia was dumbfounded. "But you said you didn't want to go six months ago. Why the sudden change of heart?"Yvette bit her lip. "I just suddenly felt like going. Didn't Annie go as well? She's been posting non-stop about how amazing the Utopia States is, so I want to see it for myself!"Annie Bennett was a childhood friend of hers who had just gone to the Utopia States recently. Oliva responded, "Let's talk to your dad about it when he gets home." "Alright," Yvette said. Then, she went upstairs to her bedroom. She couldn't help but rest her hand on her flat abdomen, where his child was growing. …After lunch, Quentin took Janet back to the hospital before heading back to Harmony Creek with Noelle. On the way home, she asked, "Have you found evidence that Mark was behind Lorraine's death?"He frowned, and his gaze grew solemn. "My subordinates managed to bribe one of his men, and it's confirmed that Mark was the one who killed Lorraine."Tears welled up in her eyes, and she

    Startled by the unsettling smile, Mark sat up with a start. When he looked over again, the figure at the door had disappeared. Janet rushed in. "What's wrong?"His back was drenched with sweat as he pointed outside. "Did you see anything out there?"She shook her head. "There's nothing outside."Mark closed his eyes for a moment before looking back at the door. The hallway was deserted in the dead of the night. He shook his head and tried to reassure himself that it was just a figment of his imagination. "I want you to lie down and keep me company, Jan," Mark said. Her body went rigid. "The bed is too small for the both of us." Then, she lay down on the fold-out bed beside them and yawned. "I'm so tired. You should try to get some sleep. I'd have been asleep by now if I hadn't had to use the restroom." With that, she closed her eyes. Mark, on the other hand, was too anxious to sleep. He kept glancing between the door and the window before he succumbed to sleep as dawn broke.

    Quentin was tied up with a client in the outer office during the afternoon, while Noelle read and relaxed in the lounge. As evening approached, snow began to fall from the sky.The couple went to Lowe Mansion to see Fred. Concerned, he asked, "How's your father doing?"Quentin smiled. "He's doing quite well. Don't worry. He's in the best orthopedic hospital in Dragfort!"Fred grumbled, "Can you believe he's still so careless at his age?"He then turned to Noelle and asked, "Have you two settled on a date for your wedding, Elle?" Ever since his stroke, he had noticed a decline in his health. He was afraid that he might not live long enough to see his great-grandchildren, which would be a real shame.Noelle lowered her gaze. Did she and Quentin really have a future together? Even though he had been by her side every step of the way these past few days and seemed to have severed his ties with Xyla, she feared that if Xyla's life were ever in danger, he would choose to save Xyla over

    Noelle didn't resist when she caught that familiar scent, allowing Quentin to pull her into his embrace. When he wrapped his arms around her soft form again, it felt as if he had been given life again. He took a deep breath, savoring the sweet scent of her hair, and his heart swelled with contentment."Go to sleep," she murmured, nuzzling her face in his chest. Quentin tightened his arms around her, and the two of them drifted off to sleep wrapped in each other's arms.When the morning light filtered through the sheer curtains, the woman in his arms stirred and opened her eyes. Quentin had been awake for some time now; with the person he had longed for in his arms, he couldn't possibly sleep.The first thing she noticed when she opened her eyes was his smile. His smile was a blend of indulgence, gentleness, and a hint of mischief. He planted a kiss on her forehead. "Good morning."Her cheeks heated up as soon as she heard his familiar voice. "Good morning." Noelle shifted out of hi

    After brunch, Noelle and Quentin went downstairs. Outside, a young father was already busy building a snowman with his five or six-year-old daughter. He scooped snow with a shovel to shape the snowman, while his daughter used grapes for its eyes and a carrot for the nose. Then, she patted the snowman and giggled, while her father smiled warmly beside her.Noelle stared at the heartwarming scene, lost in thought. "If we had a daughter, would he be as tender and caring as that father?" she wondered. Quentin's eyes were also locked on the little girl. "If she were my child, I would spoil her rotten," he mused. "Let's go." He took her hand. There was already a snowman here, so he planned to lead her somewhere further away. Noelle trailed behind him, but her legs grew heavy. "My legs are sore."Quentin looked over and noticed that her brows were drawn together and her lips were jutting out; she looked rather resentful. However, to him, she looked more like she was pouting."Let m

    Noelle didn't help because she was tired. Even though Quentin looked respectable on the outside, he was an animal in bed. She was completely drained at the moment, and she wanted to curse him out.Quentin built a large snowman and then added a smaller one next to it. The larger snowman stood slightly behind the smaller one, resembling a loving couple. He placed two grapes on the large snowman's face and started looking for more materials. Noelle reached into the pocket of her down jacket and took out two candies. "Here, we can use these!" She unwrapped the chocolates and placed them on the smaller snowman's face as eyes. Then, she picked up a twig and drew mouths on both snowmen. Quentin took off his scarf and wrapped it around the neck of the large snowman. Not wanting to be left out, Noelle took off her own scarf and wrapped it around the neck of the smaller snowman. Now, the two snowmen looked even more like a couple. Noelle giggled as she looked at the two snowmen. Quentin l

    Noelle's lashes fluttered as she looked downward. She truly hadn't planned to tell Quentin, but she had fallen for him again, and she couldn't help herself.Quentin's chest tightened. His expression hardened as he turned over and lifted her chin. "Were you going to just run away and leave me behind?"Noelle pressed her lips together. Feeling guilty, she didn't make a sound. Quentin lunged forward, pinned her down onto the couch, and kissed her fervently. His kiss was rough and domineering. Noelle was helpless against him, trembling beneath him. In the end, he let go of her and gazed at her cherry lips. "Don't you dare do this again!"It wasn't her fault. She had no choice but to hide it from him after all the pain he caused her."I'll go with you tomorrow. Have you booked the flight?" Noelle nodded."Book another ticket!" Quentin rose to his feet and picked up his phone. "When's your flight?"Noelle gave him all the details. Quentin looked it up and noticed that there were st

    "Sorry, but if I ever get married, it definitely won't be to either of you."Noelle had originally come to visit Christian, but now she didn't feel like staying anymore. She was beyond frustrated.Christian's sharp, dangerous eyes narrowed in an instant, brimming with hostility as he locked his gaze on Noelle. Quentin's handsome face darkened as well, his mood turning stormy.Noelle spun around and walked out."We'll see about that," Quentin muttered, getting up to leave as well.As he passed by the clinic where Noelle worked, he cast a glance in that direction before heading out.Near the end of the workday, Russ called. "Ms. Xanthos, Mr. Xanthos has arranged for you to meet a boxing champion. Are you free now? I can take you to meet him."Noelle couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and bitterness. She had lived 24 years, and only now did he care about whether she had any self-defense skills. Isn't it a little late for that?Still, she went.After one session, she was dr

    Noelle quietly closed the door behind her. Leonard glanced over, saw it was her, and put away his phone. "He just fell asleep. Ms. Xanthos, you should head home and rest. I'll keep watch tonight," he said softly.Noelle shook her head. "He took the knife for me. How could I go home? I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. I'd rather stay here and keep an eye on him."She sat down on the couch, her gaze heavy with concern as she looked at Christian sleeping.Leonard nodded. "Alright, you stay here. I'll step out for a bit," he said before leaving the room.Noelle nodded.Christian's phone, sitting on the nightstand, pinged with a WhatsApp notification.Noelle walked over, picked up the phone, and saw a message from someone with the nickname "The Blomming Fifties.""What a flashy name," she thought with a faint smirk.But for some reason, curiosity tugged at her—she suddenly felt a strong urge to peek into Christian's private world as if she might uncover something hidden beneath t

    Noelle remained silent.In Dragfort, ever since Quentin had learned early that morning about Christian taking a knife for Noelle, he had locked himself in his office. It had been three hours now.The morning executive meeting was canceled, and his client appointments were rescheduled. Senior staff members who needed his signature on documents stood hesitating at the door, feeling the oppressive atmosphere even from outside the office.Department heads waiting to give their reports also lingered at the door, too intimidated to enter.In the end, they all turned their pleading eyes toward Martin.But even Martin was hesitant to go in.After all, he had witnessed the weight of Quentin's emotions—shock, frustration, and a deep sense of defeat—that had cast a heavy, oppressive mood over the office.Martin made a call to Dennis, knowing only he could possibly get through to Quentin now."Mr. Jackman, you need to come over," Martin said quietly, making sure to step into a quieter co

    Even though Christian was in obvious pain, he forced himself not to make a sound.Such a stubborn fool.The door knocked twice, and Leonard walked in. Seeing Noelle, he greeted her, "Ms. Xanthos."Noelle's eyes were red, but she didn't respond.Christian opened his eyes slightly and said, "Don't tell anyone I'm injured."Leonard nodded."Tell them I'm on a business trip," Christian added.Leonard raised an eyebrow, "Bro, with a wound like that, how long do you think this 'trip' will last before people catch on?"Christian shot him a cold glare, and Leonard quickly relented, "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll handle it."Christian closed his eyes again, waves of pain crashing over him like a relentless tide.Suddenly, he opened his eyes once more. "Silly girl."Noelle paused, her tear-filled eyes looking at him.A smile tugged at the corner of Christian's mouth. "Get out for a bit. You look terrible."Noelle's lips twitched as her damp lashes fluttered, and a surge of unexplainabl

    Just as the man raised the knife for a second strike, the security team arrived and swiftly pinned him down.Noelle heard a low grunt behind her, followed by Christian's pained chuckle. "Good thing it wasn't him."Noelle's heart clenched as she turned to see Christian, clutching his shoulder, slumped against her legs.He was wearing a beige coat, now stained with a large patch of blood around his shoulder.Christian was rushed to emergency surgery, but Noelle remained frozen in her chair, her mind replaying his words, "Good thing it wasn't him."Who wasn't it? Quentin?Why did he say that? Why did he act this way?The image of Christian's blood-soaked coat lingered in her mind. The wound—how deep was it?Noelle sat there, numb and lost in thought for an unknown period, until Michael appeared.He glanced at her through the doorway, but without a word, he continued walking past.A little while later, Kara gently patted her shoulder. "They've moved him to a room. You should go s

    Emmie smiled and placed a few more ravioli on Noelle's plate. "Then eat a little more. It's your mom's first time cooking, and once you're in the Utopia States, you won't have this."It wasn't like she had never cooked before—she had made instant noodles when she was alone.Noelle ate a small bowl of ravioli without pausing, her stomach now full and round. Her eyes welled up with tears, though whether it was from happiness or something else, no one could tell.After dinner, Noelle stayed for a bit before leaving.Emmie watched Noelle's car disappear down the driveway before finally going upstairs.Michael, leaning back on the bed, heard her soft footsteps approaching and lifted his eyelids.The bedroom was dark, and when Emmie stepped in, her gaze met Michael's dark, piercing eyes. She paused at the doorway, and he continued watching her."Lia must be blind. She couldn't tell if it was you or the driver," Emmie said coldly, walking straight to the other side of the bed and pulli

    Emmie was at a loss for words.Michael said, "Your daughter's leaving for the Utopia States soon. You should take this time to spend with her."Emmie's breath hitched. "Elle agreed?"Michael nodded. "Yes."It was the best way for Noelle to get away from those two men and focus on her own growth.After a night's rest, Noelle felt much better the next morning. Emmie called her, inviting her to Gentle Glades after work.What Noelle didn't expect was to see Michael there as well.He was lounging on the couch in casual clothes, flipping through a medical journal. Emmie, wearing an apron, seemed to be busy in the kitchen. When Noelle walked in, Emmie immediately came out."Elle!" Emmie's gentle face was filled with warmth as she took Noelle's hand.Noelle felt a bit disoriented.In her memory, Emmie's life was filled with books and work, never with the kitchen. And Michael—she hadn't seen him so relaxed and calm, casually reading a magazine on the couch, in over a decade.It felt

    Michael couldn't forget the look Elijah had given him that day—a mocking smile, full of meaning. Elijah slowly pulled back, revealing Emmie's curled-up body underneath him.Without a word, Michael opened his phone and pulled up a social media app. He tossed the phone to Emmie. "Take a look for yourself."Emmie looked down and saw a video posted by Elijah just minutes earlier. It was of her feeding him. She watched in disbelief, then replayed it. The account was undeniably Elijah's."Scroll down. There's more," Michael's voice drifted from the couch.Emmie's fingers moved down the screen, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Michael sitting with his legs crossed, taking a sip of coffee handed to him by the housekeeper.Further down, she found a photo posted by Elijah a month ago, showing her preparing his medicine. The footage seemed to be taken from security cameras.But none of these posts had appeared on her social media feed.She had never seen them on her phone.Mich

    Quentin didn't deny it.Noelle's chest tightened as she remembered that day in Ocean City when Christian had said Gillian deserved to be slapped. Now, it all made sense.At the time, she had sarcastically asked him if he would treat her the same way once he got tired of her.His response had been, "Do you think I'm tired of her, and that's why I did it?"Now she understood. Christian had known all along that it was Quentin who had called Gillian to Ocean City.A wave of frustration swelled in Noelle's chest. Her fingers clenched tightly as the memory of Christian's sweet words clashed with the thought of him being with Gillian. Bitterness gnawed at her.Just then, the door opened again, and a strong, steady figure entered. His gaze swept silently over the two men in the room before he walked straight to the bed."Elle?""Clement!" At the sight of him, Noelle's eyes brimmed with tears."Let's go home," Clement said as he turned and carefully lifted her onto his back. Noelle res
