Chapter 1186

Author: Chweety
"Grandpa?"

Noelle hurried over to Sebastian, and May, who had been in the kitchen, quickly rushed out as well. "Sir Jones, are you alright?"

As she wiped her hands with her apron, May quickly moved to help Sebastian over to the side. "Sir, you should sit down in the living room. I'll clean this up!"

She muttered to herself as she went to grab a broom and dustpan, "This was Ms. Noelle's favorite clam chowder!"

"May, it's alright." Noelle smiled and linked her arm with Sebastian's. "Grandpa, what's going on with you today? You seem so distracted!"

She guided him to the living room and noticed his eyes fixed on the television. The screen happened to show Shirley's image.

"Grandpa, do you know Shirley?" Noelle asked, helping him to sit down. Then, with a playful tone, she added, "I didn't know you were a fan! But Shirley is pretty amazing. I heard she's originally from Brookville. She later entered showbiz and, at 46, landed a lead role in this film. That's rare!"

    After leaving Sebastian's house, Noelle could not shake the feeling that her grandfather was hiding something from her.Charles fastened her seatbelt and noticed she was lost in thought. Gently tucking a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, he asked, "Still thinking about Grandpa?"Noelle snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. "Yeah. Charlie, don't you think Grandpa was acting strange today?""What did you find strange?"Charles started the car and prompted her to elaborate. "Tell me.""From the moment we arrived, I felt something was off with Grandpa. He kept pretending everything was fine, but I could tell something was bothering him. And earlier, when I was watching TV… "Do you remember how I used to watch TV at Grandpa's place all the time? He never reacted like this before. I mean, Shirley seems fine, so why did he get so worked up when he saw her?"Charles' sharp eyes flickered slightly at her words, and he glanced sideways at her.Noelle, noticing his gaze, touched

    Kelly? Why Kelly?Ronald was utterly baffled."Mr. Hoffman, are you asking me to investigate Shirley or Kelly? There doesn't seem to be any clear connection between them." Ronald was on the verge of losing his mind with Charles' sudden and seemingly unrelated demands late at night.Charles furrowed his brows. "Investigate both. Find out their connection, if any, and focus on Shirley's relationship with Flynn!"He hung up, gripping the phone in his hand as he turned it slightly, deep in thought. Sliding one hand into his pocket, Charles walked to the window, his gaze fixed on the dark expanse outside.Maybe this time, there would be some clues.…At the Jones residence, May had just finished clearing away the leftovers when she noticed Sebastian turning the television back on. The screen showed the same entertainment channel Noelle had been watching earlier, but the program had long since changed. The previous interview was no longer airing.Sebastian stared at the screen withou

    The woman clenched her fists, her face clouding with displeasure. "I'm not your prisoner!"The man responded with a cold laugh. "So? After 25 years, how does it feel to return to Brookville?"The woman's brows furrowed deeply. She removed her sunglasses, revealing a delicate face that bore a faint resemblance to Noelle. However, a closer look made it clear she was older. While she had maintained her appearance well, the passage of time was unmistakable."How does it feel? You're asking me how it feels?" Her face twisted with anger as her piercing eyes locked onto Harrison's. Her gaze was filled with hatred so intense it seemed she wanted to tear him apart. "Harrison Smith, what do you think I should feel?"Harrison squinted slightly, a faint smirk playing on his lips. A closer inspection revealed that he must have been extraordinarily handsome in his youth.His smile, however, never reached his eyes. Reclining in the backseat of the car, his sharp gaze stayed fixed on the woman. H

    "After all these years, I thought you'd miss her. Ha! She's your and Flynn's daughter. What happened? How could you bear to leave her?""Harrison, you bastard!"Shirley raised her hand and slapped Harrison across the face. "You're nothing but a devil—a monster!""A devil? And you think you and Flynn are any better?" Harrison suddenly grabbed her wrist, twisting it behind her as his face darkened. His cold eyes locked onto hers. "Look at you. You left for so many years. Did Flynn ever come looking for you? To him, you were just a fleeting affair. Do you really think he cared about you?"Shirley's face turned pale."What good did it do, having his child? You were nothing but a homewrecker!""Enough, Harrison! I told you to stop!" Shirley raised her hand to strike him again, but Harrison caught it easily, pinning her arm in place. "Enough? Don't forget—it was you and Flynn who betrayed me first!""I never betrayed you, Harrison! You know it as well as I do. There was never anything

    It turned out Harrison had never trusted her.Shirley's gaze dimmed as she lowered her eyes, her body trembling slightly. After a long pause, she looked up at Harrison again, her expression now calm and resolute. "You're right not to trust me. After all, I never trusted you either.""You…" Harrison's eyes turned sharp, his expression darkening. He opened his mouth to respond, but the car came to a stop. "Mr. Smith, we've arrived," the driver announced.Harrison narrowed his eyes as his cold gaze fell on Shirley. She seemed distracted, lost in her own thoughts.He was about to speak again, but Shirley had already slipped on her sunglasses, creating a barrier between them.She opened the car door and stepped out, standing tall in front of him with a frosty expression. "Don't follow me inside."As Shirley entered Springwood Garden, Harrison closed his eyes briefly. When he opened them again, his composure had returned. "What's the latest update?""Ms. Shrill visited Sir Jones."Ha

    "The Shaws'?" Bailey looked surprised. "Sir, you…"Harrison paused briefly. "No, find out where Noelle is right now. I want to meet her.""But, sir, Noelle…" Bailey hesitated, glancing at Ellen for support.Ellen, however, seemed equally at a loss for words. Harrison's intentions were always difficult to decipher, even for those who had been by his side for years. "Sir, may I ask why you want to meet Noelle?"This move left Ellen completely baffled. What connection could Noelle possibly have with Harrison? Asking for an investigation into her was already strange enough, but now he wanted to meet her in person? It was simply beyond comprehension.Harrison's piercing eyes turned to Ellen, silencing her instantly. "I'll prepare the car immediately," she said quickly."I'll find out where Noelle is," Bailey added, immediately pulling out his phone to make a call after receiving Harrison's glare.Half an hour later, Bailey reported back to Harrison. "Sir, we've found her. Noelle is a

    Noelle left Margaret's office after being reassured that both she and the baby were in excellent health. Margaret reminded her to take care of herself, avoid strenuous activities, and follow the same advice she had given during the previous check-up.Noelle smiled and agreed readily. However, Sean had messaged her earlier, asking about her whereabouts and instructing her to stay put. He mentioned that Charles was worried about her being alone and had sent him to act as her chauffeur.Hence, Noelle waited in the lounge connected to Margaret's office. With little to do, she idly played on her phone until voices from outside caught her attention.Initially, Noelle had no intention of eavesdropping, but the voices were loud—and one of them was strikingly familiar. Curiosity got the better of her, and she moved closer to listen.A woman's voice came through first. "Doctor, is this anything serious?""Not serious? It's a tear! What's with you young people? Do you not understand how deli

    "But the doctor said your condition is serious, Winter. Don't be so stubborn. Your health is more important!" Suzy pleaded, glancing uneasily at Winter before turning to Margaret.Seeing Margaret's stern expression, Suzy hesitated, tugging lightly on Winter's sleeve. "Winter, please listen. Your health is what matters most!""But my reputation is even more important!" Winter retorted, her voice tense. "Who knows if this hospital is truly secure? What if someone finds out I'm here and sells the news to the paparazzi? It'll be the end of me! And if Xavier finds—"Before she could finish, Suzy quickly covered Winter's mouth, giving her a pointed look and blinking in warning. "Winter, if you don't say anything and I don't say anything, the doctor won't say anything either. Besides, we can check you in under my name. Would that work?"Suzy turned to Margaret. "Doctor, would that be okay?"Margaret regarded Winter and Suzy coldly, finally recognizing who the woman before her was. The fa

    "Hmm? What's that supposed to mean?" Sean asked in confusion. "What exactly are you doing?""Nothing," Charles replied, his expression returning to normal. "What was the situation in Capiton before? The timing of Janet's breakdown doesn't seem right."It was not quite what he had expected, but it did not affect his plans.Sean smacked his lips. "Haha, speaking of that, you should ask that little brat Linda. Her acupuncture skills are seriously impressive. Just a few needles and she did more damage than the medicine I prepared!"He had to admit that the drugs he had mixed up were practically useless compared to what Linda had done. "But that little girl was pretty ruthless with it!""Ruthless?" Charles' gaze turned sharp. "Compared to what they have done, Linda went easy on them."If Noelle had suffered any real harm, he would have wiped the Bakers off the face of the earth.Sean caught the murderous intent in Charles' expression and raised an eyebrow. "So, what's your plan? Keep

    Noelle nodded and pushed open the door to Connor and Nora's nursery. "What do you think, Mom? Charlie started working on this room as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Everything here, from the decor to even the smallest details, was his doing."Clarisse smiled as she stepped inside. Her gaze swept over the room, filled with warmth and tenderness. Her eyes grew misty as she took it all in. "It's beautiful—truly wonderful."Walking over to the crib, she saw the two babies fast asleep. Their tiny arms and legs were slightly lifted in the air.Noelle chuckled as she approached. "They sleep like this all the time. The doctor said it'll get better in a while."Clarisse nodded but could not hide a trace of guilt. "I never really took care of my own children after they were born. No wonder they aren't close to me now."There was a hint of regret in her voice.Noelle pursed her lips and then said playfully, "I was actually thinking about going back to work once I recovered. But what ab

    Noelle placed the paper in front of Clarisse like she was presenting a treasure. Clarisse was slightly taken aback. Although her relationship with Charles had improved, she still felt a bit uneasy when facing her own son.At this moment, Noelle was acting as a bridge between them. It might not seem like much, but Clarisse understood that Charles' willingness to be even slightly cordial with her was largely because of Noelle.Her son was fiercely devoted—especially when it came to Noelle. Clarisse had started to see her in a new light.At first glance, Noelle seemed rather ordinary. But over time, her good qualities became more apparent. The more Clarisse got to know her, the more she realized just how remarkable she was."Mom, look! Charlie put so much thought into this," Noelle said while beaming."Yes… he really did," Clarisse murmured, her eyes growing slightly misty. The sadness she had felt earlier because of Milo had eased, replaced by a strange sense of warmth as she gazed

    Clarisse's expression changed instantly, and she instinctively glanced at Charles.She had accidentally put the call on speaker, allowing Milo's words to reach both Charles and Noelle. Just as she was about to say something, Milo continued with a sharp voice, "We're family, aren't we? And yet look at what he's doing! He's trying to destroy me!"Clarisse remained silent, watching as Charles' face grew darker."Clarisse, don't blame me for being blunt. You may have married into the Hoffmans, but you're still a Baker. Now that the family is in trouble, are you really just going to stand by and do nothing?""Milo!" Clarisse sighed. "What do you mean by that? Stand by and do nothing? Haven't I done enough over the years? How many things have I done just because you asked?"I turned against my own son and daughter for the Bakers. I even cut ties with Charlie and Chloe because of Janet. Was that still not enough?""You—""Milo, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this time, you

    Clarisse knew that even though Charles had forgiven her for what she had done in the past, it did not mean he would forgive Milo or the Bakers—let alone spare them.However, the Bakers were still her family. She could not just stand by and watch them be completely destroyed. "Charlie, I…"From the moment she arrived, her hesitation was obvious. Charles immediately knew she had something to say. Handing the babies over to the nanny, he instructed, "Take the twins to rest."Once the children were gone, Charles turned to Clarisse with an ice-cold expression. "I already know what you want to say. But I advise you not to say it because if you do, I won't even show you mercy.""Charlie!" Clarisse's face paled as she clenched her fists. "Does it have to be this way? He's still your uncle.""Is that so?" Charles narrowed his eyes. "It seems you don't know the full story yet.""What are you talking about?" Clarisse looked at him in confusion."Do you think Nelly gave birth early because

    "I'm not crying!" Noelle sniffled, then lifted her chin defiantly at Charles, trying to prove her point. "See? I'm not crying.""Alright, you're not crying," Charles sighed. "So, we're going with these names?""What about Grandpa, Mom, and Dad?" Noelle did not mind, but she worried that the Hoffman family might have something to say about it.Charles, however, was unconcerned. "They're our kids, not theirs.""Pfft, if you say that, you'll break their hearts!" Everyone in the Hoffman family had been eagerly waiting for these two babies."It's fine. I already asked Grandpa, and he has no objections." Of course, Charles had not really asked—he had simply informed Maxwell. However, Maxwell had not made a fuss. To him, it did not matter what surname the children took. In the end, they were still Hoffmans.…In Capiton, the scandal involving Milo and Janet had sent shockwaves through the city. The child had been taken back to the Baker residence, and a DNA test confirmed that he was

    "The boy is named Ice, like a diamond. The girl is Glitter, which shines brightly. Do you like it?" Noelle's eyes sparkled as they fixed intently on Charles.A soft light appeared in Charles' deep gaze. It slowly turned more intense as he looked at Noelle. He reached out, tilted her chin, and leaned in closer, his eyes locking on her flushed, rosy cheeks. "Mhm… I like them."Just like Noelle herself, always so glittery and radiant, as dazzling as a diamond."I think they sound great too!" Noelle beamed, reaching up to touch Charles' face. "Then what do you think their full names should be?""I've already thought of them.""Really?" Noelle was surprised. "That fast?""Yes."Before she could react, Charles lifted her into his arms. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck, her legs clinging to his waist. "Charlie, am I too heavy?""Not at all. You're light."Though she had gained some weight since giving birth, Charles thought it was perfect. She was softer now, mor

    Noelle let out a startled yelp and instinctively wrapped her arms around Charles' neck. "What are you doing? You nearly scared me to death!"Charles only chuckled, his lips curling into a faint smile. He held her waist and gave it a gentle squeeze. "How could I ever bear to do that?"Noelle huffed, "Smooth talker!"Though she pretended to be annoyed, a blush still crept onto her cheeks. "I was asking you something serious. Was it really you?""Yeah."Charles did not deny it. "What about it?"Noelle shook her head. "I just didn't expect you to go after the Bakers so suddenly."She had thought that because Clarisse was part of the Bakers, Charles might show some restraint toward Milo. But clearly, he had not.Charles remained silent for a moment before speaking. "You might be willing to let them go, but they refuse to let themselves go. That's not my fault."His tone was cold, devoid of any emotion. The moment Noelle heard it, she knew that either Milo or Janet must have pushed

    "Diamond?" Noelle's eyes sparkled. "Kelly, how about we call the boy Ice and the girl Glitter? What do you think?"She held her son's tiny hand. "Ice. That's your name now. You're Mommy's little diamond!"Just as she finished speaking, the baby girl in Liliana's arms suddenly let out a loud cry. Her voice was strong and clear, making Noelle turn toward her in concern. "What's wrong?"Liliana chuckled. "She's probably jealous!"Noelle was momentarily stunned before she found herself laughing too. "She's already learning to be jealous at this age?"Even as she spoke, she reached out to take her daughter from Liliana's arms. "Glitter, Mommy's little darling. Are you upset because I called your brother first?"As soon as Noelle held her, Glitter immediately stopped crying. She blinked up at her mother, her bright eyes twinkling like tiny gems.Noelle's heart melted. "Babies grow so fast. They change every day!"She had not even been out of the hospital for long, yet the twins alrea
