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

"Hey Charles, has Sean been seeing anyone lately?" Noelle asked, a curious glint in her eye as she looked at Charles. She straightened up, brushing Charles's hand away from her forehead, and hesitated for a moment. "I just saw Sean tangled up with a woman outside the mall. He even kissed her!""A kiss?" Charles squinted, a spark of curiosity in his eyes. "You saw that?""Yeah!" Noelle confirmed with a nod. "It happened right after Grant and I stepped out from having coffee. The girl had such a commanding presence. She slapped Sean and just walked off.""Really?" Charles's eyebrow quirked up, intrigued by the story. "Did you get a good look at her?"Noelle sighed. "That's the thing. I didn't get a clear view, which is why I'm so curious. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here asking you." She got up from where she was sitting near Charles, wrapped her arms around his, and settled back comfortably. "Sean had the weirdest reaction. He actually looked happy after she slapped him!"Charles let

"No worries!" Keith thought it was awesome that Liliana had even come at all. He did not really care about the light stick. "Alright, Liliana. Go grab a seat. I-I'm going to win this one and give you a good show!""Haha! Just do your best!"Liliana took her light stick and found a spot to sit. She did not know much about these things, but she had talked to Tania on the phone earlier about Keith's basketball game that afternoon, and Tania had suggested she get a light stick to show her support.Since she had promised to be there, Liliana was ready to cheer him on with everything she had.When Keith joined his teammates, they all gave him teasing looks. "Wow, you moved fast, didn't you?"Keith shot his roommate a look. "Behave.""Okay, okay! You're pretty impressive. I've heard Liliana and Tania from the business school are the toughest to win over. Now that Tania's taken, everyone's wondering who Liliana will end up with. Looks like you've got the upper hand.""Me? I'm just being
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1915
Liliana blushed as Keith and a few roommates watched her. "Sorry, I'll just be a moment...""You really can’t come?” Keith asked.Keith had not mentioned his feelings to Liliana for a while, but he had not given up. He thought Liliana was a great girl, and he had decided she was the one for him. He had been doing everything he could to make her happy.Liliana felt really confused by Keith's hopeful look. She remembered Sean's face and his distant voice. That was the first time she felt so unsure. She remembered Tania's advice to give Keith a chance. With a helpless smile, Liliana thought she should give herself a chance with someone new too.If she stayed stuck on Sean, she would only end up hurting herself. However, she did not really like Keith that way, and she did not want to be unfair to him by using him to forget someone else.Keith did not know what was going on in Liliana's head.

Jamie was really good to Tania and always happy to do whatever she wanted.Liliana smiled to herself. Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her.Keith asked, "What's so funny?"Liliana stopped smiling. "Oh, nothing." She saw that Keith had brought back her favorite dishes. "Thanks," she said with a smile.Keith ran his fingers through his hair and gave a shy smile. "No need to thank me. I actually wanted to take you out for a meal.""It's okay. The food here at our school's cafeteria is pretty good too." Liliana was not fussy about food. She could eat anything, even if it was not tasty.She had no choice. The time she spent with the Hoffman family was the toughest in her life.She never joined the family at their dining table. She had meals that were even worse than what the Hoffman family's servants ate. Liliana was just happy to have food nowadays and never complained.Keith watched Liliana as she ate quietly, her head down. He could not take his eyes off her, thinking everything sh

Liliana was usually the shy type, except when she was with her bestie Tania. She had never met anyone as bold as Keith before.She did not know how to tell Keith she was not interested, but Tania thought Liliana's life was too boring. Liliana did not have many friends besides Tania, so Tania encouraged her to hang out with Keith.Liliana did not say yes, but she did not say no to Keith hanging around either.They were not dating, but Keith was super nice. He always seemed to know what Liliana needed, even before she did.One day, when things were slow at the office, Liliana needed to stop by the school. There was some survey going on between departments.She and Tania had signed up for extra classes to get more credits, but they quickly grew overwhelmed. Liliana had come to school today to fill out a survey. She first stopped by the director's office to discuss her tutoring sessions. Since Tania was not there, Liliana ended up doing Tania's survey too. By the time she was done w

Tania had more to say, but she could tell Liliana was not in the best mood, so she stopped talking.They both left halfway through the speech because Jamie was looking for Tania. Tania went with Jamie, leaving Liliana alone to walk around the school.Liliana wandered around for a bit but soon got bored and decided to head out. Just then, someone stepped in her way.She looked up to see a tall boy in a basketball jersey. She frowned a little, then tried to walk around him, but he reached out and grabbed her arm. "Liliana!" he called.Liliana did not like being grabbed and felt annoyed, but she did not let it show. She just looked at him distantly. "Do you know me?"The boy seemed surprised by her chilly reaction. He blushed, scratched his head, and gave her a sheepish smile. "Uh, I'm Keith from the computer science department.""Oh…"Liliana nodded. "Cool." She paused and gave him a look. Keith got the hint, let go quickly, and looked at her, a bit embarrassed. "Hey, I didn't mea

Once Joanna had gone, Liliana grabbed Tania's hand. "We're going to head out too, okay?"Sean watched them with narrowed eyes but said nothing and merely watched them walk away.Seeing Liliana's erratic steps, a flicker of anger crossed Sean's calm gaze.Haha!She was walking really fast. Was she trying to avoid getting mad?She had taken the words he once told her to heart and followed them to the letter.Sean looked down, his eyes catching the glint of tiny, shiny things on the ground. He bent over and picked them up.A flicker of color passed through his deep, dark eyes, but it was gone as quickly as it came.Liliana did not lead Tania very far before finding a quiet spot to sit. Puzzled by Liliana's sudden reaction, Tania noticed that Liliana seemed distracted. She frowned. "Liliana, what's wrong with you? And what about earlier...""I'm okay, really. The show's about to start, right? It's a chance of a lifetime. We can't miss it!" Liliana said, nodding towards the stage.

"This is my best friend and roommate, Liliana. Liliana, meet Sean," Tania introduced, not missing a beat to bring Liliana into the spotlight. Liliana, who had tried to make herself invisible when Sean walked over, was suddenly the center of attention.Feeling two pairs of eyes on her made Liliana squirm. She mustered all her courage and said, "Hello, Sean, Joanna," in a voice barely above a whisper. She quickly looked down, wishing for nothing more than for Sean and Joanna to go away. Tense all over, Liliana missed the shadow that crossed Sean's face.Tania watched Liliana's stiff behavior with a frown. She knew Liliana was not usually this shy—no, it was caution, not shyness.Tania knew her friend well after so many years. Liliana was never this guarded, even with strangers. However, she was all nerves and tension now.Tania snuck a peek at Sean and saw he was still watching Liliana. She giggled and teased, "Are you looking at Liliana?" Liliana looked up at Tania's words, and so

Joanna did not think much of it. She just found it a bit unfortunate. Still, she knew this was not the time to reveal any reaction. Instead, she simply turned her head and smiled, poised and gracious. "Sean, do you still remember those two juniors?"Sean only seemed to notice Tania and Liliana then. "Who are they?"He spoke in an unemotional tone. They were not very close, but they were not too far away either.Liliana's face went white when she heard Sean's voice, but she took a deep breath. Her heart fluttered when she saw Sean and his friends approaching, but she managed to keep her face calm."Hey, do you remember me?" Joanna asked, looking at Tania and Liliana with poise. In her mind, she saw Tania as a serious competitor and hardly gave a second glance to the girl at Tania's side, missing Liliana's anxious look.Tania was not someone to underestimate. She did not have any issues with Joanna, but Joanna's challenging look made it clear. Was she trying to start something?Eve

Liliana felt Tania's eyes on her and bit her lip. "I guess!" She tried to act normal and quickly looked away from where Sean was.Liliana could try to hide all she wanted, but Sean had already seen her. He did not just see Liliana but also noticed Tania next to her. When his eyes landed on Tania, a subtle spark flashed through them, but he quickly looked away."Sean, I really didn’t think you would come." Joanna was genuinely surprised to see Sean. She had mentioned the talk to him before, but he had not made any promises.Joanna had her own ambitions too. She had been studying medicine for five years, and this was her final year. With graduation just around the corner, she really wanted to land a great job. It just so happened that Sean was the dean of his own hospital, and thanks to some school gossip, everyone thought she was Sean's girlfriend. They all expected her to work at Sean's hospital after graduation.Joanna was quite proud of her skills in her field.However, she was
