Noelle looked at Charles with a slight surprise on her face. Charles noticed and shook his head gently before reaching out to smooth her hair. Then, he started the car and drove away."Liliana did live with the Hoffmans for a while," Charles began to speak, his voice calm. "But because the Hoffmans didn't acknowledge her, her status there was very low."He paused, seemingly lost in thought for a moment. Then, he shook his head slightly. "Back then, when Sean came to see me, Liliana had been bullied and left stranded in a tree. Sean was the one who saved her. Maybe from that moment, Liliana started seeing Sean differently."Noelle nodded thoughtfully. "So, Liliana has quietly loved Sean for many years? But Liliana…""When Liliana was a teenager, she was sent away to live with her biological mother. For a long time after that, I didn't see her," Charles explained, his tone steady."When I left the country, I had no idea what happened between her and Sean. The next time I saw her was

The atmosphere in the car seemed to grow tense again. Noelle lowered her head and took out her phone. Seeing that Rowena was online, she exchanged a few words with her.Then, noticing a message in the group chat, she opened it and realized it was from a group chat Sean had created. To her surprise, another person had been added—Liliana!Noelle looked slightly surprised and raised an eyebrow when she saw that the person who added Liliana was Tania. "Does Tania also know that Liliana is back?""Yes." Charles nodded. "They were very close friends in university.""In that case, maybe Tania can help persuade her. I figure Liliana is someone who values relationships deeply, so she might listen to Tania!""You're quite clever." Charles could not help but curl his lips into a smile. Seeing Noelle like this, he shook his head in amusement.As they were talking, Noelle's phone suddenly rang. When she looked at the screen, she saw that it was her grandfather Sebastian calling. She quickly a
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1178
It was one thing for Charles to act out of character, but why were both Sebastian and Samuel behaving the same way?"It's no trouble at all! Pregnancy is exhausting, so you should rest at home during this period. Leave work if you can, and if there's anything you can't handle, Charlie will take care of it!" Now knowing about Noelle's pregnancy, Sebastian set everything else aside. "May has plenty of experience. I'll have her go to Phoenix Tree Residence to take care of you. She'll make sure you're well looked after!""Grandpa, that really won't be necessary!" Noelle was caught between laughter and tears, but Sebastian did not give her a chance to protest before decisively ending the call.Noelle stared helplessly at the now dark screen, then turned to Charles with a resigned expression. "That was Grandpa Sebastian on the phone."Charles nodded, indicating he had overheard. "So, we're going to his place tonight?""I don't think we have a choice." Noelle knew Sebastian's personali

Charles stayed silent, so Noelle kept staring at him, wondering if she had forgotten something important. Could it be that Charles had known her for a long time and liked her all along? However, because she had always been in a relationship, he never approached her? "So, you've been paying attention to me this whole time?"Charles pressed his thin lips together, his eyes filled with amusement. Hearing Noelle's question, his smile deepened. "What's the matter? Are you just realizing how deeply I love you? Touched, are you?""Mm!"Noelle nodded seriously, "I honestly never expected it!" She was genuinely surprised to discover the depth of Charles' feelings for her."But when did you start liking me?"Ah, women. Once they became curious about something, they would not let it go easily. Noelle was no exception as she kept pressing Charles for an answer.Charles, however, refused to say. "Figure it out yourself. When you're sure, come and ask me again. Let's see if you get it right.

Charles placed the gifts in the trunk and got into the car, only to find Noelle staring blankly at the large screen across the plaza. Her eyes were fixed on it, unblinking.Charles narrowed his eyes. "What's wrong?"Noelle snapped out of her thoughts. "You're back?""Mm." Charles nodded, glancing at the screen, which was now showing a different advertisement. "Were you bored from waiting? What were you looking at?""Nothing!" Noelle shook her head and withdrew her gaze, glancing at the backseat. "Did you get everything?""Yeah." Charles fastened his seatbelt and started the car. "I saw you staring at the screen earlier. I thought you were bored.""No, the screen was showing a trailer for a movie, White Night. I think it's coming out next month. Charlie, it feels like it's been forever since we've watched a movie. How about going to see it?""Sure." Charles nodded. "When it's released, I'll have Ronald book the tickets."Noelle curled her lips into a small smile, though uneasine

Charles narrowed his eyes. "How can I not be nervous? This is your first pregnancy!""Alright, if we don't head up now, Grandpa will start worrying!" Noelle reminded him, urging, "Let's go!"Noelle moved to pick up the items, but Charles stopped her. "Just follow me."With a helpless smile, Noelle relented, letting Charles take the lead. Watching his back, she suddenly felt that life with Charles—simple and straightforward—seemed genuinely happy. Especially when he treated her with such care, holding her like she was precious, it made all the grievances she had endured at the Shaw family feel insignificant.When Noelle and Charles reached Sebastian's door, they saw it was already open. Noelle raised an eyebrow slightly. "Grandpa even left the door open for us?"She stepped inside but did not see Sebastian. Puzzled, she called out, "Grandpa?""Noelle, you're here!" May, who was still wearing an apron, emerged from Sebastian's room. She looked a little fatigued."May, where's Gr

Charles gave Noelle a few more sips of water, stopping only when she protested that she could not drink any more. "Grandpa, did you happen to meet someone today?" he asked casually.At his words, both Sebastian and Noelle paused to look at him. Noelle blinked. "Meet someone? Who?"She glanced back and forth between Charles and Sebastian. "Grandpa, did you have a visitor at home?"Sebastian's expression darkened slightly as he stared at Charles for a long moment before shaking his head. "No one at all. An old man like me doesn't get many visitors. Besides you two dropping by now and then, who else would remember me?"His words sounded self-deprecating, but they were clearly a warning aimed at Charles. Sebastian knew Charles was sharp, but this was something he could not let Noelle find out.Charles narrowed his eyes slightly, understanding the message. "Grandpa, that doesn't sound right. You had so many brilliant students over the years. I don't believe they wouldn't come to see yo

Noelle looked up at Charles with half-closed, sleepy eyes. She blinked a few times and rubbed them groggily. "I'm so tired, Charlie.""If you're tired, take a nap. Be good." Charles adjusted her into a more comfortable position, using a pillow to make sure she rested well. Noelle curled up on his lap, her eyes slowly closing as she drifted off.As Sebastian watched their intimate interaction, the glimmer in his eyes eventually faded and he let out a helpless sigh. "I know how deeply you care for Noelle. As your teacher, I trust you.""You're absolutely right," Charles replied.Sebastian shook his head. "Take good care of Noelle. I know you'll protect her completely."Charles' sharp eyes gleamed. "Who did you see today?"Sebastian's expression flickered briefly. "Let her sleep well for now. I've had May keep her room cleaned and ready. Take her there to rest."Charles nodded and carefully lifted Noelle, his movements gentle to avoid waking her. Once he had settled her into the ro

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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1664
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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1663
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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1661
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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1659
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
