Julian had been standing at a distance the entire time, but now he stepped forward, lowering his voice. "Mr. Blackwood was here just a few days ago. This time, he came specifically for Ms. Xanthos."Noelle froze, glancing toward the tall figure now making his way back to her.Julian quickly stepped back to his previous spot.Christian approached, holding a hairpin studded with small diamonds. "I couldn't find one exactly like yours, but this one's pretty close."Noelle's body stiffened as she gathered her long hair back up, but her mind echoed with Julian's words—Mr. Blackwood cam specifically for Ms. Xanthos.Behind her, Christian's pleasant voice broke through her thoughts. "Is this how it goes in?"He was trying to pin her hair, but each attempt failed. And with every movement, his firm body brushed against her hips, while the warmth of his breath occasionally touched the back of her neck.Noelle felt like she was standing in front of a furnace, the heat making her want to

The blush on Noelle's face had just begun to fade, but now it flared up again as if set on fire. She stared at Christian, who stared right back, and in the end, it was Noelle who had to look away, defeated. The redness on her cheeks quickly spread to her ears. Christian was setting traps for her everywhere. She was now almost certain that even when he'd been pinning her hair earlier, he'd done it on purpose.Grabbing the glass of orange juice Julian had placed in front of her, she took a sip, trying to hide her embarrassment.Then, without a word, she stood up, snatched her suitcase, and walked off.If she didn't leave now, who knew how many more teasing remarks Christian had lined up for her?Christian was quick to follow, his long legs easily keeping pace as he trailed behind her toward the boarding gate"We're early," he murmured near her ear.They still had five minutes before boarding began.Noelle felt his warm breath against her ear, making her shoulder jerk instinc

Noelle's lips twitched.She frowned at Christian and mouthed, "Your mom invited me to dinner. Tell her no!"Christian's lips curved into a charming smile as he smoothly took Noelle's phone from her and put it to his ear. "Mom, the little imp is too shy. I’ll bring her over when she's grown a thicker skin. That's it, bye!"As soon as Christian hung up, Noelle gave him a swift kick. "Christian!"Still annoyed, she lunged at him, her small fists pounding against his chest. "You're the imp! You're the real monster!"Just then, the car took a sharp turn, causing her to lose her balance and fall straight into Christian's arms.Strong hands gripped her waist, holding her firmly in place.In one swift motion, Christian lifted her by the waist and settled her directly onto his lap, facing him."This way, it's easier for you to hit me," he teased.Noelle's cheeks turned a deep shade of red as she stared at his mischievous expression. "Christian, put me down!"Christian's eyes sparkled

Noelle prepared a meal of garlic butter shrimp, sautéed green beans with bacon, rice as the main course, and grits on the side.She set everything on the table, and Christian sat down.He looked at the well-presented dishes and let out a dramatic sigh. "How am I supposed to eat this?"Noelle frowned, confused. "What do you mean, how?"Christian replied, "This is a single portion—just enough for me."Noelle rolled her eyes. "You can eat a little less."Maybe that would stop him from making so many flirty remarks.Christian narrowed his eyes. "Worried I'll overeat?""Mm-hmm!" Noelle nodded firmly.Christian picked up his spoon, finally starting to eat.After dinner, Christian left.Noelle, feeling exhausted, took a shower and went straight to bed.The next morning, Janet called, her voice warm and caring as always. "Elle, you're not at work yet, are you?""I'm just about to head out, Mom. How are you?" Noelle asked, slipping on her shoes while speaking.Janet replied, "I sa

Elijah smiled again. "I'll take care of myself. Thank you for coming to see me, Elle. You should get back to work.""Alright, take care," Noelle said as she turned to leave.Once the door closed behind her, the middle-aged man who had remained silent the entire time spoke up. "Why don't you want to tell Emmie? This isn't something you can hide from her. If you won't call her, I will."He grabbed Elijah's phone and began dialing.Elijah weakly lifted his hand to stop him, but whether from exhaustion or resignation, he didn't have the strength to object.The call connected quickly."Elijah?" came Emmie's soft voice on the other end.The man said, "Professor Fox? I'm Elijah's friend. He's back in the hospital. He's refusing to take his meds or eat. It's like he's lost the will to live. Don't you think you should come see him? He's like this because of you!"There was a long silence on the other end, followed by a choked voice. "I'll come right away..."Suddenly, a cold, commandin

Noelle took a moment to call Christian, but he was probably busy and didn't pick up.As she turned around, she spotted a tall figure walking by.Michael entered the elevator, his presence heavy with tension.The doors closed, and the number eight lit up—the gastroenterology ward, where Elijah was staying.Noelle paused.Just then, her phone buzzed, and Christian called her back.His tone was lazy, "Babe, what's up?"Noelle stepped into a quieter corner and lowered her voice. "Do you know where Andrew is? Dr. Poole's waiting for him to finalize the divorce."There was a brief silence on the other end. "And here I thought you missed me."Before she could respond, the call abruptly ended, leaving Noelle frustrated.She sent him a facepalm emoji on WhatsApp.Up on the eighth floor, Emmie picked up a bowl of warm grits, preparing to feed Elijah, when the door suddenly swung open.A tall, imposing figure walked in.Michael's unexpected arrival made Emmie's hands shake, and the b

Michael reached for Emmie's hand again, but she pulled away.Emmie headed down to the floor where Noelle worked.Michael didn't follow. Publicly revealing his relationship with Noelle wouldn't be good for his reputation at the hospital.Instead, he went to wait for Emmie in the car.Through the door of the consultation room, Emmie glanced at Noelle, busy at work inside.She'd heard Noelle was the top student in her class, and it filled her with quiet pride."Ma'am, do you need help with something?" Sarah happened to walk by and saw Emmie peeking into the room.Emmie shook her head and smiled warmly. "No, I just mistook her for someone else."With that, she quickly turned and left.As Sarah watched her walk away, she thought to herself, "What a graceful woman."After work, Noelle headed to Virtuous Tavern.Since she couldn't secure a private room, she sat in one of the cozy outdoor booths.Not long after, Janet arrived a little late."Elle, I'm sorry I'm late. The traffic w
Sorry, We're Divorced Chapter 566
Half an hour later, Noelle helped Janet into a taxi and watched as it pulled away.Just as she turned to leave, she bumped into something solid.Startled, she looked up to see Quentin, a faint smirk playing on his lips, his dark eyes watching her with an unreadable expression.She frowned, stepping back in disgust, then turned and walked off in the opposite direction.Quentin's voice followed her from behind. "Surprised, huh? You're not the only baby in the playboy's life!"Noelle shot back coldly, "What's it got to do with you?"She reached her car, got in, and drove off without looking back.When Noelle arrived home, she collapsed into her bed, wrapping herself tightly in the blankets. She didn't bother doing anything else—just slept.Hours later, when she woke up, she saw a flood of baby photos from Yvette.The four-day-old baby's dark, bright eyes were wide open, and there was already a noticeable change from when he was first born.His delicate features hinted that he'd

"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
