Charles smiled faintly. "It's just human nature at play. Now that they know about our relationship, they won't let this golden opportunity slip by." His tone was calm and matter-of-fact.Noelle sighed softly. "Exactly. That's why I didn't want to make our relationship public in the first place. The moment they found out, they'd use me as a bridge to get to you.""It's greed," Charles said simply. "And with your legitimate connection to me, not taking advantage would be foolish." He continued drying Noelle's hair with careful, deliberate movements, as though handling something exceptionally precious.Noelle nodded reluctantly. "I know, but it's still exhausting.""You can't let their behavior make you feel stifled," Charles replied. "Our marriage is legitimate. There's no need for us to hide it or live in secrecy.""I suppose you're right," Noelle admitted, throwing up her hands in resignation. "But what should we do now? Are you really going to that dinner? You know they're just w

Charles raised a brow, his hand gently squeezing Noelle's arm before effortlessly shifting her into the correct position.Noelle spun around, wrapping her legs around Charles' solid waist while her arms clung to his neck. Her eyes sparkled as she smiled mischievously. "So, you do get jealous, after all!""Jealous?" Charles frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the term. "Your husband isn't jealous; this is simply asserting ownership." With that, he leaned down and captured Noelle's lips in a kiss.Soft and fresh, the sensation was something he felt he could never get enough of.Charles kissed her deeply, his tenderness drawing Noelle into his embrace. Her arms slackened as she nearly slipped from his grasp, but Charles was quick to catch her by the waist, steadying her."You're hopeless," Charles murmured, a trace of exasperation in his tone as he tapped her nose. Noelle was unbothered as she playfully nudged his waist before leaning in to kiss him again.…The next mornin

When Noelle left Phoenix Tree Residence, the spring breeze was already warm and pleasant. However, Charles, ever the cautious one, insisted she bring an extra jacket to avoid catching a cold. Unable to argue with him, Noelle grabbed a jacket and hurried to her destination.Teresa was already waiting at their usual spot, but Rowena was nowhere to be seen. Spotting Noelle, Teresa waved her over. "Noelle, over here!"From a distance, Noelle saw Teresa standing calmly by the square, her hands tucked into her coat pockets. When she noticed Noelle approaching, Teresa pulled her hands out to wave again. Noelle ran over quickly. "Have you been waiting long?""Not too long," Teresa replied with a smile, her gaze sweeping over Noelle. "It's been a while since I last saw you. You seem... a little fuller than before.""Fuller?"Noelle instinctively looked down at herself. She had not noticed, but now that Teresa mentioned it, she did feel like she had put on some weight. Pinching her cheeks a

Grant pocketed his phone, a faint smile curling on his lips as he glanced at Noelle. With a subtle tilt of his head, he walked toward her, his tall frame exuding effortless poise.His gaze briefly flickered to the shopping bags in her hands before he greeted her in his signature gentlemanly tone. "Ms. Shaw.""Mr. Anderson," Noelle replied, managing a smile. "What a coincidence."Grant nodded slightly. "Indeed, it's quite the coincidence. Are you shopping alone?" His eyes shifted to the collection of bags she was holding.Snapping out of her thoughts, Noelle quickly shook her head. "Oh no, I'm here with my friends… Wait, where did they go?" She suddenly realized that Teresa and Rowena were nowhere to be seen.Scratching her head awkwardly, she muttered, "They must have wandered into another store." She glanced at Grant. "What about you, Mr. Anderson? Are you shopping alone?"Grant shook his head. "Not really. It's not every day I get the chance to visit Brookville, so I decided to

The two of them arrived at the café, which, as Noelle mentioned, had a pleasant ambiance. At this time of day, it was not too crowded.Grant placed Noelle's shopping bags neatly to the side. Ever the gentleman, he pulled out a chair for her. Noelle sat down as a server promptly approached them. "Good day. What would you like to order?""A cup of iced cappuccino. Mr. Anderson, what about you?" Noelle asked."Blue Mountain," Grant replied and then added, "Make hers a hot cappuccino as well. I'd suggest skipping the ice. It's not great for your health at this time."Grant's deep and soothing voice carried a certain warmth. He looked at Noelle with a polite smile. "I hope you don't mind.""Not at all. Hot cappuccino it is, then," she replied.After the server left, Noelle's eyes lingered on Grant. She could not seem to look away, her gaze fixed intently on him.Grant met her stare with calm composure, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Do you have something to say, Ms. Shaw?" he as
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1098
Grant noticed the faint desolation on Noelle's face. He hesitated, as if wanting to say something. However, he eventually dropped his gaze and maintained an air of nonchalance. "It's nothing."Noelle pressed her lips together briefly. "Since you're not who I thought, Mr. Anderson, I won't trouble you further." She no longer had the energy to linger in ambiguity. If Grant was not going to provide answers, there was no point in pressing the matter.Grant nodded slightly without protest. When Noelle stood up, he followed suit. "Let me walk you out, Ms. Shaw.""That won't be necessary. I drove here," she said, pointing toward the parking area outside. "My car is just in the lot."Grant gave a small nod of understanding. "In that case, let me at least help carry your things to the car."Noelle did not decline. Together, they left the shopping mall, with Grant carrying her bags. Their silence as they walked was unexpectedly comfortable, and their footsteps were in sync.As they neared

Upon hearing Sean's words, the corners of Grant's lips curved into a faint smile. He handed the shopping bags back to Noelle. "Ms. Shaw, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll have to leave you here.""Thank you," Noelle replied, taking the bags with a polite nod. "I appreciate the help, Mr. Anderson."Once Grant walked away, Noelle turned to Sean with a serious expression. "Sean, earlier, I saw you—"Sean's smile froze for a moment before he interrupted her, "Saw what, Noelle? Honestly, what I saw was you hanging out with another man. Do you think Charles won't get jealous if he finds out?""Charlie says he doesn't get jealous," Noelle quipped with a slight smirk. "But fine, if you don't want to explain, I won't pry. Still, I've known you for a while now, and I've never seen you this serious before. That woman... You haven't won her over yet, have you?"Sean's expression stiffened. "Noelle, you'd do better not to meddle in things that don't concern you.""Is that a threat?"

Noelle opened the door and saw Charles sitting in the living room. He lowered his gaze as if he was studying something. She stepped inside, changed her shoes, and walked toward him. Charles then looked up, his eyes landing on her.Having spent the whole day out, Noelle was utterly exhausted. She dropped her shopping bags on the couch and bounded over to Charles, clinging to his arm. "Ah, I'm so tired, Charlie!" she exclaimed, rubbing her cheek against his arm.Charles, however, kept his gaze fixed on the photographs in his hand. Following his line of sight, Noelle caught a glimpse of the photos, and her expression stiffened."What's this?" she asked, glancing between Charles and the photos. "Who sent these to you?"Charles met her eyes, his expression calm. "They arrived by courier earlier. No name on the sender." He tossed the stack of photos onto the coffee table and quirked a brow. "You were with Grant today?""Oh, we just ran into each other," Noelle replied, picking up the ph

Eloise's fingers shook just a little, but she nodded seriously. "Take your medicine, get better, and I'll go. Just don't send me away now, please."With that, Eloise held out the glass of water to Steven again. "You need to take care of yourself. You haven't had any rest for days."Steven stared at Eloise's defiant face and suddenly laughed mockingly. He stood up, towering over her with his tall frame. He tilted her chin up with his long fingers, his icy eyes locking onto her bare face. His words cut deep. "You seem to have forgotten that you're just a pawn to me. Even your name, Eloise, was chosen by me. Remember your place!"Eloise's face went white as she heard his words. Her hands balled into fists at her sides. She tried to read his expression, but his eyes were like ice—no warmth nor emotion."Yes, I've always known who I am," Eloise said quietly, looking down. "If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be lost."She looked up again, her eyes then as cool and detached as his

Charles squinted at him. "You don't seem too happy to have me around!""No, no, don't get me wrong. Noelle and Kelly are my sisters, and they’re part of the Smith family. I wouldn't ever dislike them! But don't you think you're wasting resources by being here?"Sean was practically pleading. "Look, if you're not smart with your money, that's fine by me!""Silly Sean! You just said they're your sisters, yet now you're talking about money?" Charles raised an eyebrow. Sean's face fell. "I messed up. I don't want your money. I'll pay you to leave, okay?"Charles just smirked. "Alright, I'll have my things packed up and head out in a couple of days."Sean let out a big sigh of relief. "Okay! I'll have someone clean up for you right away. It won't even take two days. We'll have it done today!" After saying that, Sean whistled cheerfully and bounced away.Charles rubbed his forehead, a bit frustrated, and quickly reviewed the latest reports about the Collosus Group.Steven had been sec

Yves's car lingered long at the hospital entrance, finally pulling away as the last bit of night faded.Yves had been hanging around the hospital entrance for a while, and the secret guard who was watching him had already told Charles about it. Actually, Charles had seen the car parked outside the hospital on the security screen a long time ago.Charles was staring at the screen, lost in thought.After a bit, a tiny smile appeared on his face, and his eyes sparkled.Charles was surprised that Yves cared so much about Kelly. He was brave enough to come there all by himself, even though it was dangerous. The hospital was full of their own people. If Charles had not been sitting there and had caught Yves instead, this whole thing might already be over.The door to the hospital room opened, and Sean, who was tall and striking, stood there. He had been at the hospital a lot those days, staying close ever since he started looking after Kelly. Linda was there too.Every day, Linda was b

"You must really want to die!" Yves twisted his hand, and Elon's arm popped out of its socket. "Who told you the York family has a dungeon? My father? Or...""No! The old master has nothing to do with this!""Hmph!" Yves glared at Elon. "You never saw me as your master, did you? Only my father?" Yves squeezed Elon's cheek. "What did my father give you that made you remain so loyal, even years after his death?""Nothing... You are my master. The old master gave me my life and asked me to follow you for all of it, so no matter what you do, I will obey.""Then why didn't you listen when I said not to hurt her?" A dangerous look flickered in Yves' eyes. "Hmm?""Because I know she'll mess up your big plans, Sir. You don't see it now, but one day you'll understand that I am doing all this for you." Elon clenched his teeth against the pain. "Sir, please see the truth. This woman will only hold you back. Even if you take my life now, I won't complain, but don't let her ruin your big plans
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1651
Nobody knew if Kelly was alive or not because Sean's hospital would not let any information slip out. The place was locked down tight by Charles's crew, and not even Yves's toughest guys could bust in and rescue Kelly. Yves did not have a clue about Kelly's condition, so he could not just rush in without a plan.Somewhere hidden on the outskirts of town, a man was strung up on a scary-looking rack, his eyes shut and barely breathing.Yves sat on a chair nearby, fiddling with something in his hands, his eyes icy as he stared at the man hanging there. "You know you messed up, right?"The man, who was called Elon, kept his eyes shut tight and would not say a word. Yves glanced sharply at another guy standing close by. This guy was an assassin Yves had trained, just like Elon. They were always at Yves's side.Elon was usually the one out in the open, but this other guy, Yoan, worked from the shadows. They were Yves's main guys.Yves did not take Elon with him to Francoria that time be

"Alright, then I'll leave my sister in your hands!"After spending some time with Linda, Noelle had come to realize that apart from being extremely serious when treating patients, Linda was otherwise quite childish. At moments like this, she was still very much a child at heart.However, spending time with Linda was easy. She had a way of making treatments feel relaxing, ensuring there was no pressure at all.Once Linda finished joking around, Charles led her away, taking her directly to Sean's lab for research.For the past few days, Linda had not stepped out of the hospital because she was entirely focused on finding a cure for the virus. She had practically made Sean's lab her home, eating, drinking, and sleeping there without a care.Despite her young age, Linda was undoubtedly a medical prodigy. She was only in her teens, yet she handled these complex medical challenges with astonishing composure.Sean had always believed his medical skills were exceptional—at least within h

His slightly rough fingertips brushed against Noelle's skin, his gaze filled with tenderness as he shook his head slightly. "It's okay now."Noelle, however, couldn't hold back her emotions. She leaned her head against Charles' chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her voice carried a hint of grievance. "Why didn't you tell me?"If she had not noticed Linda's secretive behavior and recalled Peter's and Tania's hesitation that night, she would have never known just how much suffering Kelly had endured.Not to mention, it was all because of her. If not for the virus in her body, Kelly would not have put herself in danger."Don't cry." Charles coaxed her gently. "She wouldn't want you to be sad, would she?"Through the glass panel of the hospital room, he saw Linda putting away the silver needles. He gently patted Noelle's back. "Do you want to go in and see her?"Noelle pulled away from Charles, took the tissue from his hand, and wiped her tears. She nodded firmly. "Yes!""

"Don't worry! You two really are sisters. Just as you're concerned about her, she's been worried about you too!"Linda was still young, and she did not quite understand the depth of sisterly bonds.She had grown up in a completely different environment. Though her family was large, there was never this kind of closeness.The person she was closest to was her older brother, but Saxon was a man, and his way of caring was completely different from that of a sister. Hence, Linda had a hard time grasping the emotions that Kelly and Noelle shared.However, even if she could not fully comprehend it, she could feel that these two truly cared for each other."During the time you were missing, Noelle could barely sleep at night. She kept having nightmares. Some days were better than others, but I could only help ease her pain temporarily." Linda sighed. "And now, you've only just woken up, and the first thing on your mind is Noelle.""How is Noelle now?" Kelly asked anxiously, her eyes fil

Kelly remained in the ICU for two days before she finally woke up. This was not exactly what Linda had expected, but at least Kelly showed no adverse reactions upon regaining consciousness.However, she barely spoke.Linda had already spent several hours in the hospital ward, checking Kelly's condition and even performing acupuncture to alleviate her pain. However, Kelly was like a puppet on strings—silent and unresponsive. She did not speak, did not complain, and did not even flinch at the pain.Linda stared at Kelly's face, which looked almost identical to Noelle's, and sighed in boredom."Hey... You don't have to worry. Once your body recovers, I can remove the scars on your face and body." Linda reassured her."Trust me. After all, I do come from a family of doctors… Kelly, are you mute? Why won't you say anything?"Linda had been observing Kelly for hours now, and she was even quieter than a mute person.Even those who could not speak would at least make some sounds when th
