The Cherished Wife Chapter 121
Every table was occupied when they walked in. Thankfully, Noelle had made a reservation half an hour earlier. She looked embarrassed as she ruffled her hair and said, “Actually… We could go somewhere else for dinner!” “It’s alright!” Charles said as he took Noelle’s hand and led her to the waiting area. She was stunned and allowed him to hold one of her hands while she used the other to hold their waiting number. Charles let go of Noelle’s hand as they sat down, leaving her grasping air and feeling empty. She looked down at where Charles had been holding her just now, leaving her palm slightly damp. A slight blush crept onto Noelle’s face as she gazed at her palm, and she hurriedly looked away, only to have her gaze collide with Charles’ eyes. She felt her heart skip a beat as she instinctively tightened her hold on the number, the corner of her lips tugging upward as she said, “What a crowd!” “Yeah,” Charles replied, the hint of a smile appearing in his eyes. “No rush.” “No

At the thought of that, she let out a chuckle. Charles held his teacup in his hand as he raised an eyebrow at the sight of Noelle laughing. “What’s so funny?”Stunned, Noelle bit down on her lip as she thought about how she should explain the situation to him. In the end, though, she chose to shake her head and say, “It’s nothing!” After all, she could not tell him she was thanking the stars she had not been born in March, could she? Charles smiled and poured Noelle another cup of tea as he said, “Since your grandfather has given you a portion of the shares, you should keep hold of it without any worries. I’m sure you know what Xavier and Joseph are plotting!” As Charles changed the subject, Noelle became serious as well as she nodded. “I’m sure Grandpa has his reasons for doing so. I just hope things aren’t as complicated as they seem.”“Your grandfather is the founder of City Ring Corp, and he built your family’s fortune up from the ground, which is why City Ring Corp is so imp

Noelle smiled. When she saw that Charles was serving her food, she hurriedly took her bowl from him and said, “Let me do it!”Charles merely smiled as he said, “Let’s eat!” Noelle enjoyed her meal thoroughly. After all, it had been some time since she could eat so freely. However, she noticed that Charles did not have much to eat. It was evident that he was not the biggest fan of spicy food, and she quietly took note of that. As the two headed downstairs after finishing the meal, they bumped into another couple leaving the cinema. It sounded like they were discussing the plot of the movie they had just watched. “You said you’d watch the movie with me, but you ended up falling asleep!” “It’s not my fault! Girls love watching miscommunication tropes, but do misunderstandings really happen that frequently in real life?” “But these movies are inspired by real life! Of course it’s an exaggerated version of real life! There’s no way it would be identical to daily life. I don’t care.

Charles took her hand and led her to the ticket redemption machine, where he frowned and stared at the machine in front of him instead of doing anything else. The people waiting in line behind them grew impatient and called out, “Hey, you guys in front of us! Are you going to redeem your tickets or not? Get out of the way if you aren’t going to redeem anything!” “Sorry, sorry, we’re almost done!” Noelle hurriedly apologized to the people waiting behind them before she stood on her tiptoes and whispered, “Don’t you know how to use the machine?” Charles glanced sideways at her, an indescribable look in his eyes. He did not say anything as he gave Noelle a long, knowing look. For some reason, Noelle found it funny as she took Charles’ phone from him and typed in the number displayed on the screen. Once the tickets were printed, Charles took them before Noelle could and held her hand in his as they walked away.Noelle allowed Charles to hold her hand as they walked away from the cro

Before heading in, Charles acted like any other diligent boyfriend and purchased popcorn and soda.Noelle held the bucket of popcorn in her arms and glanced sideways at the man standing next to her. When she saw the bottles of soda in his hands, she gulped. "Actually, you didn’t have to…” “Shush!” Charles said as he placed a finger on Noelle’s lips. “Time to head in.” It was the evening, which made it the perfect time for most couples to go on dates. Hence, the movie theatre was nearly filled by the time they entered the room. Noelle and Charles’ seats were nearer to the corner, and they had to traipse across the room to get to it.When they finally sat down, Noelle heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s been so long since I last watched a movie. I wasn’t expecting there to be so many people!” “Yeah!” Charles helped Noelle hold on to her bag, and he waited until she had settled down before handing her a bottle of soda. “Thirsty?” Noelle shook her head. "I’m alright!” However, she sti

A slight blush crept onto Noelle’s cheeks as she turned to Charles, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she said, “Girls usually have a thing for the domineering types!” When she saw the slight look of disbelief on Charles’ face, she bit down on her lip and added, “I’m serious, but this movie is stretching things out a little too far. If such domineering CEOs actually existed in the real world, I think it’d be easier for their presence to be accepted if they aren’t the best in everything!” “Mm-hmm!” Charles said as he raised an eyebrow. He did not retaliate but did not add on anything else either. Noelle felt somewhat embarrassed and hurriedly turned to watch the movie playing on the screen once again. However, she could not get over the fact that Charles was holding her left hand, and she could feel her heart racing. Noelle whispered, “Um… My palm is sweaty.” When Charles heard that, he gave Noelle a long, knowing look before he unfurled her fingers, placed her palm flat against

“Gosh, they’re so sweet. You know, I’m wondering why I even bothered watching a movie with you. It’s one thing to see such sweet interactions in a movie, but it’s happening in real life as well. Meanwhile, I feel like a neglected puppy."The man’s displeased voice rang out, “Are you a bitch? You're so unreasonable today!” “What did you say? Try calling me a bitch again!” the woman's voice, which took on a rough edge, rang out. “Am I a bitch?” “Did I say you were a bitch? You were the one going on about feeling like a neglected puppy.” The girl said, “You don’t love me anymore.” The guy answered, “Do we have to act in such pretentious ways for you to believe that I like you?” Noelle was speechless. Why were they getting dragged into the fight? She turned to Charles and said, “He said we’re being pretentious!” “Yep, it’s because he’s jealous of us!” Charles concluded before he picked up another piece of popcorn and stuffed it into Noelle’s mouth. “Have some!” Noelle marvel

Noelle pouted. “Well, I thought successful people like you, especially business owners, are of the same caliber as celebrities.” She often heard rumors related to the business sphere from entertainment industry-related news and thus assumed that Charles was the same as them. However, Charles merely chuckled. “That applies to the others but not to me.” Then, he added, “No one really dares publish anything about me, and not that many people know what I look like.” He smiled. “You don’t have to worry about your husband being seduced by women with ulterior motives, Nelly.” Noelle did not know what to say to that. He seemed to have the ability to twist the truth into something that fit his narrative instead. “Well, that won’t work either. Didn’t you promise that we wouldn’t let anyone else know about our relationship yet? They’d figure things out if they saw us together, right?” “Why do you keep thinking about such things?” Charles asked, a rueful look on his face. “Why is it so

"Yeah. Bobby is Yankel's son, so he has to go back to the Canfield family eventually," Liliana said. As she looked up, her eyes caught a glimpse of the person in the driver's seat ahead, and she gasped. "It's you—""Liliana?" Noelle heard a voice crackling through the phone, then nothing but silence."Liliana?"Noelle jumped to her feet and tried calling Liliana back, but no one answered. She dashed downstairs, only to be stopped by Charles. "What's the matter? You look so worried.""It's Liliana. Something's happened to her," Noelle explained, clutching her phone. "I was just talking to her. It sounded like she met someone or something happened. All I heard was Liliana saying, ‘It's you,' some choppy bits of conversation, and then nothing. When I called back, nobody picked up."Noelle was not just being paranoid. She had been through enough to have a keen sense for these things.Charles's brow furrowed as he tried calling Liliana but got no response."Where was Liliana when she
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2116
Yankel was taken aback by Liliana's words. He looked at her, his face full of wonder and questions. Liliana did not know what to say, so she just coughed a little and asked, "You don't think I'm being unreasonable, do you, Mr. Canfield?"Yankel shook his head. He had never thought that. He knew Liliana loved Bobby a lot and thought it would be hard for her to give him up. That was why he was so surprised when she offered to let Bobby go back to him. "I didn't mean it like that," he said."Actually..." Liliana paused, then shared the story of how she first met Samara and how they ended up depending on each other. "You could tell that even after Samara had to leave, she still loved you a lot. She even risked her life to have your baby. I know she loved you because she asked me to take care of Bobby when she was very sick. She even worried that Bobby might be too much for me and told me to find you, so you could raise him."Liliana let out a sigh. "I guess I've been selfish. I treated

Casey sat in the front seat, watching Liliana and Bobby together. Surprise flickered in his eyes, but it was mostly happiness. "Ms. Liliana, it looks like the little guy is really fond of you."Liliana did not say yes or no, but Bobby chimed in, "I love Mommy the most! I love Mommy the most!"Casey could not help but smile. "Yep, the little guy loves you the most, Ms. Liliana." He glanced at Liliana, trying to read her face. "Ms. Liliana, have you ever thought that since you and the little guy are so close, maybe you and...""Casey, I don't see Mr. Canfield that way," Liliana said calmly.Casey blushed a little, realizing he had stepped out of line. "Sorry, I spoke out of turn." He stayed quiet for the rest of the drive.When they reached the Canfield house, Liliana stepped out with Bobby in her arms, and Casey led the way. "Ms. Liliana, it's just Mr. Canfield at home today." He meant to tell her not to worry. Even if the Canfield family did not like Bobby, they would not do anyth

Liliana did not have any special feelings for Yankel. It was all about Bobby. She could tell Yankel really cared for Bobby. "He's Bobby's real dad. I can't keep them apart."Noelle chuckled. "Okay, okay, I was just teasing. Look at you, getting all worked up over nothing!"Noelle leaned in closer, her gaze making Liliana a little uncomfortable. "Noelle, what are you...""Liliana, what are you going to do now?" Noelle asked, her eyes full of concern. "I know Sean is my brother, but I really don't mind, especially after everything that happened..." She trailed off. She was not sure of all the details, but she knew Liliana had loved Sean with all her heart. Sean, however, had been as unfeeling as a log and had even hurt Liliana deeply.After leaving with a heart full of hurt, it was no surprise that Liliana could not forgive Sean, let alone get back together with him. Noelle felt the same. She would not get back with Sean if she were in Liliana's shoes.Noelle knew she should suppo

Charles dropped Liliana off at Phoenix Tree Residence and headed straight back to the office. On the way, he called Sean, "I've made sure she's safe and sound."Sean massaged his forehead and replied, "Hmm."Charles could not resist a little joke. "Haven't figured it out yet?""Liliana just can’t forget what happened years ago." Sean wore a sad smile. "It's my fault too. If only I had gotten there sooner back then, or if I had understood my own feelings earlier, none of this would have happened." He thought his child might have been older than Peter's by now.However, Sean kept those words to himself. He knew that child was a secret he could not talk about, a pain too deep for words to convey.The two were quiet for a moment until Charles broke the silence. "Liliana's giving all the love she had for that child to Bobby now. You've noticed, haven't you?""Yeah." How could he not? That was why Sean felt so bad about it and why he wanted to do right by Bobby to make up for the baby

Yankel and Xenia got divorced. On the day Yankel left the hospital, Liliana watched as Xenia desperately clung to Yankel's hand, but Yankel would not even give her a second look.Xenia was also holding onto Lawrence's hand, begging Yankel over and over to look at Lawrence, but Yankel just would not. Finally, Xenia started hitting Lawrence's face like crazy. Yankel finally stopped walking.Yankel grabbed Xenia's hand, his face showing no emotion. "Are you out of your mind? Lawrence is just a kid." He was just a little younger than Bobby.Xenia burst into laughter at that, but then she broke down crying. "So what if he's a kid? He still can't make you stay? Yankel, you know how I've treated you all these years, don't you?"Yankel, where's your heart?"Yankel stared indifferently at Xenia, then took Lawrence away and handed him to an assistant. "Take Lawrence to Elvis.""Yankel, you'll get what's coming to you! Yankel, Lawrence is your son, not Elvis's! You..."Yankel ordered some

Liliana's cheeks turned pink as she nodded, even though she was not really cold. "Uh-huh!"Sean finished tending to the wound, put the medicine box away, and looked over to see Liliana sitting up straight like an elementary school student. A warm feeling washed over him."Do you want to stay here with Bobby, or should I take you home?""No way. I'll stay with Bobby!" After everything that happened tonight, Liliana was too worried to leave Bobby alone in the hospital room. Who knew what could happen during the night?Sean's expression darkened a bit. "Don't worry. Nothing like this will happen again." After all, Bobby was in his hospital, and he was responsible for the boy's safety.Liliana shook her head. "No. It's not your fault."Xenia was out to hurt someone, and she would take any chance she got, no matter where Bobby was. You could never be too careful, and who would have guessed Xenia would go after a child?Liliana had no idea what might have happened if Liliana had not n

Liliana gave Sean a stern look. "It's time for Bobby to go to bed.""But Mom, I'm not tired yet!" Bobby said, tilting his head and blinking his big, adorable eyes, which almost made Liliana melt."It's bedtime, no matter what. It's really late," Liliana insisted. She tucked Bobby into bed. After he fell asleep, she turned around to find Sean still there. She frowned. "Why are you still here?"Sean's smile faded as he walked over with big steps and grabbed Liliana's wrist. Ignoring her wishes, he started to lead her outside.Liliana was upset by Sean's actions and tried to pull away, but Sean held on tight. He even warned her, "If you want to wake everyone up, go ahead and yell."Feeling trapped, Liliana glared at Sean and whispered angrily, "What do you want?"Sean did not answer. He just kept walking and pulling her along.Liliana had no choice but to follow. At least Sean was considerate enough to slow down for her shorter steps.Sean took Liliana to his office, opened the do

Liliana blushed and rolled her eyes at Bobby.Sean chuckled. "That's because I'm a grown-up.""I'm a grown-up too!" Bobby declared, standing tall and puffing out his chest with pride. "Right, Mr. Smith?""Sure, you’re a big boy now," Sean agreed, playfully tapping Bobby's nose.Liliana's brow furrowed with concern. "Mr. Smith, it's getting late. Bobby needs to go to bed."She reached to take Bobby from Sean, but Sean was quicker and gently held her hand. His eyes briefly showed some worry as he noticed the scratches on her hand. "I should have done more than just kick her."Liliana's cheeks warmed as she pulled her hand away, a bit flustered. "I'm okay, and you did kick her, remember? She even coughed up a lot of blood!"Liliana thought the kick must have been super strong. Although she was not the one who was kicked, the pain looked so bad that she winced.Sean saw her reaction and let out a small laugh. "Don't worry. I never hit women, and I definitely would never hit you."
