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

Charles squinted at the tie, taking it in his hand. His brow creased ever so slightly. Noelle, noticing his reaction, stood up nervously. "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"Charles gave her a resigned smile. "It's nice!""Phew, I was worried you wouldn't be into it. All your ties are so serious, so I wanted to shake things up a bit. I almost went with pink, but I didn’t think that would go over well.”Noelle hopped onto the couch and looped her arm around Charles's neck with a grin. "Want me to help you with that?"Charles smiled and gave Noelle's nose a playful squeeze. "Sure thing!"With a bounce in her step, Noelle grabbed the tie and started to drape it on Charles. Suddenly, her phone buzzed. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Jade, and her smile faded a bit. "Hello?""It's me!" Jade's voice crackled through, sounding less than pleased. "You're getting harder to reach by the day. Do you think marrying into money means you can just ditch us?""I'm not sure what you'r

"Great!" Charles agreed with a nod, standing to join Noelle in tidying up.Noelle caught sight of a photograph resting on the coffee table, causing her to hesitate. Charles noticed. "Is something still bothering you?""It's not that. I'm just trying to figure out who's behind this.""Who else could it be, other than the usual suspects?" There's no need to dig deeper. "Don't worry. To me, these are just worthless scraps of paper!""But to your grandfather, they're not just scraps," Noelle countered. She was not scared, but she believed there were certain responsibilities she needed to uphold as Charles’ wife.Even if Maxwell did not like her, he was still Charles's grandfather. By marrying Charles, Maxwell had become her grandfather too. He was an elder she was supposed to respect.She had seriously offended Maxwell recently, and if he decided to make a fuss over those photos, Noelle would be hard-pressed to defend herself."You married me, not him. You don't need to worry about
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1104
At Charles’ words, everyone rose to their feet as if pulled by strings. Even Winter could not help but stand in the presence of Charles's commanding aura, though it was begrudgingly. Xavier's gaze was glued to Charles and Noelle from the moment they appeared.Charles was the picture of casual cool in his light knit shirt and jeans, his face a blend of boyish charm and a magnetism that seemed to draw the eye. He might have looked like a fresh-faced twenty-something, but the intensity in his eyes was impossible to overlook.Noelle was wearing a chic, light-colored sweater paired with the same style of jeans as her partner, making them look perfectly matched.They entered the room with an air of effortless confidence. Charles quickly pulled out a chair for Noelle and joined her after she was seated. As his piercing eyes took in the room, he paused. "Why's everyone on their feet?""Take a seat, everyone!" Joseph was the first to snap out of it, his gaze flicking to Charles and Noelle's

"Yes, we’ve met!" Charles nodded, his eyes warmly meeting Julian and Jade's. "Hello, future in-laws." He then called out, "Ronald!"Right on cue, the door swung open, and in came Ronald with two bodyguards in tow. Both bodyguards were holding a bunch of fancy stuff. "You know, Noelle and I have always wanted to keep our marriage just between ourselves, but since she's brought it up, we have to do things right. Ronald!""Got it!" Ronald gave a quick nod and had the bodyguards hand Julian some health-boosting goodies. "Take a look, sir!""Oh, there's no need for this!" Julian could tell from Charles's tone that this gesture was a big deal, and it was clear that he was only doing this for Noelle."I made a vow to Noelle when I married her, and I plan to keep it. I'll treat her right for the rest of our days. I never want to hear any more nonsense about me ditching Noelle. Whether she needs me or not, she's the only one for me. Noelle is my wife, and that's that," Charles declared with
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1106
"Get you? Parents and matchmakers have always been in charge of marriage decisions. How can you go and get married without a peep to us, and now you drop this bomb? After all the blood, sweat, and tears we poured into raising you, this is the thanks we get?" Jade could not take it anymore. Her hand came crashing down on the table, her glare fierce as she faced Noelle. "What's the most valuable thing a woman possesses? How can you be so careless with yourself?""Mom, you've got it all wrong," Noelle shot back, her voice steady. "I value myself a lot. That's why I was super picky and chose Charles, who treats me like a queen. That proves I've got good taste, right? If I've got good taste, then I'm definitely taking care of myself.""He's good to you? If he was, would he leave you with nothing? Do you realize you'll be left with nothing if he dumps you one day?""Enough!" Julian cut in sharply. "What kind of talk is that?"Julian pulled Jade back with a firm grip, making her sit down.

"I heard you were injured. I was busy the past few days and couldn't come earlier." Charles offered a brief explanation.His gaze settled on Liliana, assessing her condition. She seemed to be doing relatively well. "Looks like you're fine now.""Yes, I'm fine. It wasn't a serious injury to begin with." Liliana fidgeted with her fingers, feeling slightly uneasy. "Um… It's already so late. Is there something else you need, Charles?"Charles watched her silently, his sharp eyes fixed on her. He did not speak for a long time, merely observing her.Liliana felt restless under his scrutiny, shifting uncomfortably."Injuries to muscles and bones take a while to heal. You should focus on resting for now and avoid any strenuous activities.""But…" Liliana hesitated. She wanted to tell him she was already fine and planned to be discharged in a few days to return to work.She had just started her internship, and this accident happened after only a few days on the job."Don't worry about w

Liliana only smiled faintly. "Wouldn't it be good for her to be with Sean? They're the perfect match—one's talented and the other's beautiful. They suit each other well."She spoke so lightly as if it did not matter, but Tania gave her a frustrated glare. "Are you trying to drive me crazy?"Liliana remained silent, leaving Tania to sigh. "I really think Sean has feelings for you. Think about it. Yes, you're both from the same university, but there are so many people at that university. If Sean were truly that helpful to everyone, wouldn't he be overwhelmed?""So?""So, I think he treats you differently. You didn't see it happen, but when you needed surgery, the doctor hesitated. It was Sean who immediately stepped in and said he would operate on you himself. "He even said that if anything went wrong, he'd take full responsibility. Who says something like that? A family member would! He was treating you like family!"Liliana frowned slightly. "You're exaggerating. It was probably

Liliana frowned, finding Joanna's words somewhat odd.In truth, she and Joanna were not close, nor did they have much interaction. The fact that Joanna had come to visit her was already strange enough.Now that she was bringing up that incident, Liliana could not quite figure out Joanna's intentions, but something about it felt off."Thank you for your concern, Joanna," Liliana said lightly. "Tania, bring a chair for Joanna.""No need to trouble yourselves," Joanna replied with a soft smile. "I'll just stand for a while. I've already been sitting with Sean for quite some time."As she spoke, her eyes never left Liliana.Liliana was momentarily stunned before clenching her fists slightly. However, she maintained a composed expression, revealing nothing of her thoughts."You and Sean seem to have a great relationship," Liliana said with a faint smile. "It looks like you're not here to see me but rather to talk to Sean."Her tone carried a teasing lilt, smooth and pleasant to the

Liliana smiled gently. "Okay, I get it. You've been through a lot because of me. What would you like to do?""You promised, remember? Once you're better, you owe me a big meal to make up for all the trouble I've been through!""Can you really eat that much?" Liliana asked with a light smile. "Tania, you've been working so hard lately.""Ugh, stop it. You're getting so mushy!" Tania shivered a bit. "I only said that to make you get better faster. You don't really think I'd expect anything of you, do you?""Of course not. I know what kind of person you are!" Liliana said, pausing for a moment. "Oh, did you say the school has already kicked that girl out?"Liliana thought back to Tania's earlier words.Tania nodded. "Yeah, but I have no idea how they did it so fast. They said they'd wait until you were better, right? I wanted to ask her myself what happened, but she was nowhere to be found. Then I learned that not long after your accident, they found out she pushed you down the stai

Sean's eyes were icy as he stared at Joanna. She was so surprised by his words that she froze, unable to move or speak. She just stood there with a look of hurt in her eyes.She had always thought Sean was a loner, but she thought she was the exception. It hurt that he had shut her down so completely without even hearing her out.Joanna had dreamed up so many scenarios of slowly but surely winning him over, as long as he did not push her away. She never expected him to be so harsh.Her sad, hopeful face did not change how Sean felt. He just watched her with the same unemotional eyes he used for strangers or acquaintances. Joanna bit her lip and squeezed her hands tight. It took her a while, but she finally shook off the sadness. Looking straight at Sean, she said with determination, "Sean, I'm not giving up. I'll make it, and I'll show you what I'm capable of with my own strength!" Sean replied indifferently, "Do whatever you want." To him, Joanna was just a younger student an

"What are you doing?"The stern voice from behind made Joanna jump. Her hand shook, and she accidentally knocked over the photo frame with a loud snap.Joanna spun around to see Sean standing in the doorway, silhouetted by the light. His face was shadowed and hard to read.She quickly pulled her hand back, feeling flustered. "Sean, I-I was just waiting for you and thought I'd take a quick look around."Sean's lips were tightly pressed together, his face an icy mask. His eyes flashed with a fierce light for a split second, sending a shiver down Joanna's spine.Joanna had known Sean for ages, but she had never seen him like this before.Sean had always seemed distant to Joanna, but he had never been harsh with her.She felt her face pale. Her mouth opened to speak, but no words came out.Sean's gaze left Joanna, and he moved to the desk where Joanna had accidentally knocked over a photo frame. With a graceful motion, his fingers picked it up and slid it into a drawer.He looked

He inhaled deeply. "Yes, t-there is something else.""What's up?"Being stuck in this room with Sean just felt so awkward for Liliana."Charles knows about this."Liliana was surprised at first, but then she felt a sense of relief. "Okay, thanks."Given how close Sean and Charles were, and considering she was in Sean's hospital after her accident, Liliana was not surprised that Sean would tell Charles, even if he had issues with her.Sean squinted. "Are you annoyed?"Liliana looked up and pressed her lips together. "Not at all.""Okay." Sean hesitated. "You don't have to worry about the bills. He's taken care of them."Liliana nodded. "Got it."Then, there was another one of those weird silences between them.Liliana did not know how to act around Sean anymore. Ever since that incident, it felt like they had drifted apart, maybe too far to ever come back.Liliana knew it was not Sean's fault. If she had to blame someone, it was herself for her silly daydreams.Liliana's qu

Talk about perfect timing.Tania and Liliana had just been talking about Sean when he showed up.He pushed the door open and stepped in, looking over at Liliana with a casual expression. "You're up?" He spoke casually, like she could have been anyone else.Liliana, who had been feeling relaxed, tensed up the moment Sean walked in. She watched him closely and gave a small nod. "Yeah."Tania jumped to her feet, full of excitement. "Hey, you made it! Come on in and take a seat!"She really liked Sean and welcomed him warmly as soon as she saw him.Liliana tried to speak up, but Tania cut her off. Feeling a bit helpless, Liliana looked down, trying her best to seem calm and normal.Sean kept his composure on the outside, but his eyes, as bright as stars, never stopped watching Liliana. He noticed her eyes looking down and her face a bit pale. His gaze twinkled for a moment before he quickly hid it. "How are you feeling?" he asked like he was talking to another one of his sick patien

"What's wrong?" Tania saw that Liliana looked pale and waved her hand in front of Liliana's eyes. "Are you okay? Do you know who pushed you?"Liliana shook her head, then nodded. "I'm not sure yet, but I think it was her.""Her? Who?"Tania was taken aback. "How could you, of all people, make an enemy?"Liliana shook her head. "I don't know. I think she’s Keith's biggest fan. She was sitting next to me and really didn’t like me.” Liliana strongly suspected that girl of pushing her. Maybe she wanted to remove her competition for Keith.Tania heard that and got really mad. "Some people are so evil, hurting others for their own stupid reasons! We can't just let this go."Tania was known for her quick temper, though she never threw the first strike. However, if someone messed with her, she would definitely stand up for herself."Don't worry, I'll take care of it. But tell me, did you send me here?" Liliana asked Tania."Nope, it was Keith. He had to leave, though, because something
