The results were in fast: Noelle was five weeks along with twins, though it was too early to tell the babies' genders.Charles, holding the report and the ultrasound images, was wholly absorbed. He studied them as if they were the most fascinating thing in the world. To anyone else, he might have looked like he had discovered a hidden treasure.Noelle watched him, torn between laughter and tears. Her heart swelled with emotion.It was clear Charles had a soft spot for kids. He was great with Anna and Brandon, and Noelle knew he would be even more amazing with their own children. Her concerns that he might not be into parenting melted away and were replaced by a cozy warmth. Seeing Charles like that, she knew everything was going to be just fine."Seriously, has Charles lost it?" Sean could not stand watching Charles make a fool of himself any longer. He sidled up to Noelle and nudged her arm, leaning in to whisper, "Look at this lunatic. I've known the guy for years, and I've never

Sean quirked an eyebrow and scooted closer to Noelle, handing her his phone with a smirk. "Check it out for yourself!"Noelle took the phone, her eyes quickly scanning the screen before she looked up in surprise. Sean put a finger to his lips, signaling her to keep it down. Noelle bit back a laugh and scrolled through the messages.Peter texted: [Is that Charles? Has he lost it?]Steven shot back: [You've gotta be seeing things!]Sean chimed in: [We've got a live show here, folks! Where's my admission fee?]Noelle's lips twitched into a wider smile, clearly amused.Seeing her grin, Sean teased: [Wanna get in on the fun, Sis-in-law?][Is that cool?][Totally!] Sean pulled out his phone again. [Here, scan this, and you're in!]Noelle actually scanned the code and joined the group.Sean broadcasted: [Heads up, everyone! Noelle's in the house. Let's roll out the red carpet!]Peter just sent a [...] and soon after, Tania was added to the chat too. She sent a puzzled emoji followe

They had barely stepped outside the hospital when a breeze swept by, causing Noelle to shiver. Charles slipped off his jacket and wrapped it around her without missing a beat. "Still cold?" he asked, his voice softer than usual, filled with a surprising warmth. Noelle gave a slight grin. "Not at all." "Next time, bundle up before you go out. Your hands are freezing! What if you catch a cold?" Charles chided gently as he clasped her hand, warming it with his own. Noelle's cheeks tinged pink, her heartbeat quickening. Charles was always kind to her, but today, she sensed an extra layer of tenderness in his actions. His fussing over her was both endearing and slightly amusing. "Charlie, you don't have to worry so much," Noelle reassured him with a chuckle. "I'm just pregnant, and the doctor said I'm perfectly healthy. All the tests are normal, so our baby will be super healthy!"Noelle gently rubbed her belly, still amazed by the miracle inside. She could not quite feel the tiny

Liliana eyed Noelle's earnest face and shot a look at Charles. With a reluctant shake of her head, she said, "I can't. I need to check on my kid at the hospital." As Liliana turned to leave, Noelle quickly grabbed her hand. "Is it Bobby? Charles told me about him once and said he's super cute. Can I... maybe meet him?"Noelle's eyes sparkled with genuine warmth and not a trace of deceit. Liliana found it impossible to turn her down, especially when she caught Charles's eye and saw a flicker of guilt she had never seen before.Liliana's lips parted, but the refusal just would not come. Seeing Liliana's soft side emerging, Noelle released Charles's hand and reached for Liliana's. "Come on. I'd love to meet him too."Liliana gave Noelle a nod. "Alright, but just so you know, Bobby's a little shy. He might not be too outgoing at first.""No worries!" Noelle beamed a sweet smile. Still holding Liliana's hand, they made their way back to the hospital ward.Leading the way, Noelle sent a

Liliana trembled, her eyes wide with disbelief.Noelle sighed to herself. "I don't need to lie to you. Honestly, this is only the second time I've met you. Liliana, Charles sees you as his sister, no matter who else is involved or their status!"Liliana's gaze wavered, but she remained silent.They reached the children's ward on the third floor. Liliana's footsteps softened as they ascended, and she grew even quieter upon entering Bobby's room. Noelle caught Charles's eye, and he gave a reassuring nod.Noelle walked in with Liliana. Bobby had just woken up. The caregiver had looked after him well, but without Liliana, he had been crying a lot. Seeing her, his face lit up with a smile. "Mommy!""Bobby!" Liliana hurried over, lifted him into her arms, and playfully pinched his nose. "Did the nurse say you've been crying?""No way!" Bobby shook his head, turned aside, and wiped away his tears. "Mommy, I'm a big boy, and big boys don't cry! Mommy, why did it take you so long? I misse

Liliana's face fell as she approached Charles. "Wanna take a walk?"With a subtle nod, Charles got up and followed her out of the hospital room. They made their way to the garden downstairs, walking side by side in a heavy silence. It took a while before Liliana broke it. "Bobby means everything to me!"Charles looked over at her, catching the fierce determination in her eyes. "I've already lost one child three years ago. I'll do whatever it takes to save Bobby!"Her gaze locked onto Charles, her fists in her pockets betraying her resolve. She knew she was playing dirty, using the tragedy from three years ago to corner him.She could not forgive herself, Sean, and certainly not Charles, especially after hearing from Noelle how guilty he had felt all these years. Thus, she resorted to this shameless blackmail.A light flickered in Charles's deep, dark eyes before he finally gave in with a nod. "Okay."A sly smile played on Liliana's lips. "There are things Sean just can't handle!"

Samara?Charles squinted, studying Liliana closely.Liliana met his gaze and managed a weak smile under his piercing eyes. "Canfield's foster daughter and Yankel's sister."Charles's memory clicked into place. That was the connection between Yankel and Samara. Samara had left everything behind for the sake of her child, leaving Brookville all alone. What a coincidence that she ran into Liliana?Liliana caught the look of realization on Charles's face and knew he had pieced it together. "She made me promise right before she passed not to tell Yankel about the kid. She was afraid he'd hate her and take it out on the little one.""I won't lie. I had my own reasons too. Bobby's been like a band-aid for my heartache, giving me the guts to face every day. That's why I never brought him back to face Yankel. If Bobby's sickness wasn't getting serious, I wouldn't have dreamed of coming back, much less reveal his backstory!" Liliana's eyes gleamed as she spoke, and she instinctively touched

However, the girl vanished one day. Had she left town to have a baby?Sean's gaze softened, and he looked down, his hands balling into fists. "I'll make all her dreams come true," he vowed. He owed her that much, and he was afraid it was a debt he would carry forever.Liliana paused at the door to the hospital room, listening to Noelle spin tales for Bobby, whose eyes sparkled with excitement. He never let go of Noelle's hand. Liliana's heart warmed. Bobby had been her world these past few years, and she could not bear the thought of anything happening to him. That was why she had made the tough call to return to Brookville just in case the Canfields ever decided they wanted Bobby.Liliana's gaze grew heavy with worry. She would do anything to make sure Bobby got the happiness he deserved.Liliana inhaled deeply and swung the door open. "Hey, Noelle!" Noelle hesitated, unsure of what had been said outside, but Liliana's warm greeting told her everything was okay. Noelle's face

Charles's departure from the hospital was quite the event. About twenty cars that looked exactly the same lined up outside, each with two trained family guards inside.The big show at the hospital entrance made everyone nearby do a double-take. However, then they remembered that it was Brookville's fancy private hospital, and the director was Sean, one of the big Four Young Masters of Brookville. The people who came there were all pretty important or rich, so a big display at the entrance was not that odd.The crowd of onlookers could not resist snapping pictures and sharing them on Facebook, even starting a trending topic.[Wow, #BrookvillesRichAndFamous make such a grand exit.][Look at the #FourYoungMasters of Brookville!][#FourYoungMasters Woah…]The hashtags trended over other topics about movie stars, with everyone guessing that the rich person responsible had to be one of the Four Young Masters of Brookville. Some people even said they spotted the Four Young Masters at th

Linda watched Kelly with a look that was hard to read. Linda was still pretty young, just sixteen, so she did not really get all the complicated feelings that the older kids dealt with, especially since she had a sheltered childhood with the Holt family, where she mostly spent time with a few family members and learned about medicine.Linda did not understand all that mushy stuff about love, but she could tell that Kelly was unhappy.Linda tiptoed over and sat down next to Kelly. She rested her chin in her hands and watched Kelly for a bit.Kelly let out a little sigh, about to lie down, when Linda's sudden presence made her jump. "Ms. Holt, when did you get here?""I've been here for a while. You looked like you were deep in thought, so I didn't want to bug you. Did I scare you?" Linda giggled, sticking out her tongue. Her playful charm made Kelly laugh and feel a bit better. "No, you didn't.""That's good to hear," Linda said as she got up from the chair. Kelly, I'll treat you f

Simon watched Linda leave, and it took him a moment to snap back to the present. Kelly's laughter broke the silence. "Ms. Holt is such a sweet girl, isn't she?"Simon just smiled, not really answering. "What did you want to ask, Ms. Anderson?""Did you rescue me?" Kelly was almost sure of it then.If she had been at the York family's place, Simon's appearance there today would have made one thing clear: he must have been the one to save her.Kelly watched Simon, waiting for an answer she already half knew. "Mr. York, I know you saved me, but why?"Simon looked at her, his gaze intense and steady. "What if I told you there was no reason?"He did not understand his own anger in that moment of rescue. Was it because Kelly reminded him of someone from his past or because she was Noelle's sister?Simon was not sure. All he knew was that he had wanted to save her, so he did.Kelly offered a small smile. "I guess I owe you one, Mr. York."Simon's smile was a half-curve. "Don't worry

Simon followed Linda to Kelly's room. It was not far from Noelle's room. As they walked past Noelle's, Simon noticed her sleeping, and a small smile crept onto his face.Linda caught Simon's smile and frowned. "Hey, mister, stop staring at my favorite star's wife like that, or he might just pop your eyes out!"Simon's lips quirked up. "Why do you call Charles your 'favorite star' and me 'mister'?"Linda huffed, looking at Simon with a hint of scorn. "Why do you think so? Don't you get it? Charles is dreamy, and you’re lacking.”"Me? Not dreamy?" Simon squinted. "You must need glasses!""I don't want to talk to you!" Linda said, knocking on the hospital room door. After hearing a voice inside invite them in, she pushed the door open. "Kelly, how are you holding up?"Linda was there to check on Kelly's wounds. Her medical skills were pretty good, but Kelly had been badly hurt and was not going to get better right away. In addition to that, she had had a lung infection even though L

Ever since Linda was little, only her brother had the right to tease her. No one else had ever dared to do so."You creepy old man, let go of me! Let's settle this with a fight!"Linda tried to break free, but to her surprise, Simon was stronger than she expected. She could not pull her hand away from his grip.Linda looked up with a pout, glaring at Simon with her neck stiff. Simon just clicked his tongue, his eyes twinkling with laughter. He leaned in close to look at Linda's clever eyes. He had never thought a girl's eyes could look so innocent yet so full of mischief.It was a mix of two totally different expressions, but they worked perfectly on this little girl."Mister, are you frozen?" Linda blinked at Simon. "Ouch, that really hurts! You're practically breaking my hand!" She pouted even more, looking so pitiful.Simon could not help but find this little girl amusing. Her big, watery eyes were full of scorn for him, but she still managed to look so perfectly pitiful. She

"I'm heading back to Phoenix Tree Residence this time, and we'll definitely be passing this way. These spots here are where it's easiest to take action!" Charles explained, turning to Steven. "Mr. Fischer, can your crew handle these places?"Steven did not look too great, but he glanced at Charles, checked out the spots on the map, and nodded. "Sure can!""What about these points, Peter? You got them?"Peter nodded. "You're set on going back to Phoenix Tree Residence? Right now, it seems way safer to head to the Hoffman Residence!"Simon could not hold back any longer and blurted out, "How can you all be so sure someone's going to strike tomorrow?"Charles just smiled a little. "I’m not sure!"Simon let out a scoff. "You expect me to buy that?"Charles always seemed like the type who had things figured out. He must have his reasons for planning like that, but Simon had not figured them out yet. "You act like you know my brother better than I do!""This is his last chance!" Char

Simon's smile faded a bit. "You're right again, bro. It's been days without a peep from Ms. Anderson. I sure hope she's not... gone."However, Simon's words made the air around them grow tense. He could feel the chilling vibe coming off Jacob, who was clearly not happy, even though he did not show it. Simon knew then that this Kelly person must be pretty special to Jacob.After Jacob walked away, Simon rubbed his chin and snorted softly before returning to his room.No sooner had Simon settled in than he got a message. Charles's message was clear: hold off on buying any more shares of the York Group until then.Simon set his phone aside and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He had a clear view of the rock garden in the York family's backyard from his bedroom window.He never imagined that secrets would still be hidden in the shadows after living with the Yorks for so many years. However, Simon could not help but smirk. After witnessing that awful moment between that man and his mother

Simon raised an eyebrow. "Haven't I always been at the company?"Simon's slouchy look made Jacob frown a little. "I'm talking about actually working at the company, not just having a title and doing nothing. You're part of the York family, so when the family needs help, you should pitch in!""Jacob, the York family has you, and that's plenty. I know what you can do, and don't you know me? I might just bungle everything up." Simon pulled out his hands, leaned back against the wall with a cigarette case and lighter in hand, and gave them a spin. He paused, then said, "By the way, why did you suddenly go overseas? Is the York Group doing business there?"Simon's offhand question made Jacob's eyes snap to him sharply. "When did you start caring about these things?""Oh, it's no big deal, just some small talk over drinks today. Someone said you started a company overseas. I didn't believe it. We're all Yorks here. How could we not know if you were doing something like that?"Jacob squi

Jacob pushed the door open and stepped inside, spotting Jeanette seated in a recliner with a Bible in her hands. She read it nearly daily, and it had grown worn over time.Jacob's gaze fell on Jeanette, and he noticed she was also sizing him up. Lifting his eyes, he let a faint smile curve his lips as he walked over. "Grandma, what are you reading?" he asked."Do you not see what I'm looking at?" Jeanette asked, her face suddenly serious. "Jacob, did you forget what I've told you before?""I remember, Grandma," Jacob said, worried she might not believe him. He moved a chair next to her and started to gently massage her legs.However, Jeanette was not so easily tricked. She brushed Jacob's hand away and looked at him with a stern face, very different from her usual warm smile. "Jacob, I may be old, but I'm not blind. Years have gone by. Your grandpa's gone, your dad's gone, and all I want now is for you to live a good life."She reached out and touched Jacob's face. On closer inspe
