Noelle did not know what to feel at Charles’ bossy words, but her heart was racing like crazy.She had to admit that since her disaster with Xavier, Charles was the only guy who really mattered to her. When he got all commanding with that undertone of kindness, Noelle was a bit out of her depth.She looked down, fiddling with the hem of Charles's shirt and feeling awkward.Charles caught the look and quirked an eyebrow. "What's up?""Nothing, really!" Noelle forced a laugh. She was not about to confess that his words had her all fluttery inside. She turned her head, pretending to be annoyed. "Come on, we're married. You don't have to get all worked up!""It's not about being worked up. You're my wife, so you're supposed to only have eyes for me. It doesn't matter how great the other guy is, or what history you have. That's just not okay with me!" Charles said, his arm firm around Noelle's waist. "Got it?""Yeah, I’ve got it!" Noelle could not help but find it funny. Charles was s

"I can tell this is tough for you!" Noelle curled up against Charles like a little cat, her fingers lightly dancing over his chest. "The doctor said we can't do anything for the first three months. You'll just have to hang in there!""You're too much, you know that?" Charles let out a sigh. "Don’t talk anymore, okay?""But won't it be harder for you if I'm quiet?" Noelle countered, lifting her head to look him in the eye firmly as if she had made her mind up about something. With a gentle push, she got up from Charles's embrace.Charles's brows knitted together in confusion, clueless about what Noelle was up to. However, Noelle did not need words to show Charles her intentions.She gently placed her hands on his shoulders. "Charles, close your eyes," she whispered.Charles's frown deepened. "Noelle, what's going on?""Just close them!" Noelle urged, her voice playful and her cheeks tinged with pink. Charles's gaze grew intense, a spark of desire lighting up his eyes.Noelle’s te

"Sounds great!" Noelle's heart was racing. The sensation was so surreal and indescribable."Ugh, Noelle! Snap out of it." She smacked her cheeks, hoping to quell the heat rising in her face, but it only seemed to burn brighter.Charles was quick, emerging from the bathroom in no time with crisp clothes and his usual commanding presence.Noelle's cheeks were still ablaze. Seeing Charles so composed and collected, she could not help but mumble, "Why do I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick here?""Hmm?" Charles, clearly pleased with himself, beamed happily. He leaned in for another kiss. "Let me sweep you off your feet and help you freshen up!""No way!" Noelle pushed him back. "I've got it under control!"Charles caught on to her bashfulness and nodded. "Alright, go freshen up then. Your clothes are in the wardrobe, okay?""Huh?" Noelle blinked in surprise. "Since when do you keep my clothes in your office wardrobe?""Becky set it up!" Charles gently patted Noelle's

Noelle stepped out just after Ronald had taken off. She adjusted her clothes and noticed Charles with an unlit cigarette in hand. When he saw Noelle, he tossed it aside. "Hungry? What do you want to eat?""Did I just hear Mr. Wells a minute ago?""Yeah, he dropped by for a signature," Charles replied, his eyes lingering on Noelle.He had always known there was something special about her beauty. More than just her good looks, she had a kind of allure that stuck with him over the years. That was why he could not shake her from his thoughts and why someone like Kelly could never tempt him.Noelle strutted over, twirling a bit. "What do you think? Do I look okay?" she asked, cocking her head and flashing a playful grin. "Good thing I'm not showing yet. Otherwise, I doubt I'd fit into any of these outfits Becky picked out!""You look amazing!" Charles called out, pulling Noelle close. "You're not fat. In fact, you're too skinny.""You’re bringing this up again?" Noelle sighed, half-j

Anyone watching from afar would have caught the sweet scene unfolding between the couple.Grant, who had time to kill, wandered over and spotted Charles and Noelle. His eyes briefly sparkled with something unreadable, but he chose not to join them. Instead, he lingered outside for a while before leaving with a sense of resignation.Charles's piercing gaze followed Grant's departing silhouette, his eyes darkening in deep thought.Noelle, ever the food enthusiast, was too engrossed in her meal to notice Grant's presence. Her plate was heaped with treats, and she was blissfully unaware of anything else.Eventually, Noelle's stomach reached its limit, and she pushed Charles's hand away, exclaiming, "No more, I just can't! I'm absolutely stuffed!"Charles looked down, his eyes twinkling with mirth at the sight of Noelle's rounded belly. It was as if their baby was already making its presence known. "Okay, no more food for now!" he said, gently patting her belly. "Does it hurt?"Noelle

When Charles gave the nod, Noelle's face lit up with excitement. "Hey, old geezer! Get down here!""Huh?"Charles quirked an eyebrow, totally baffled by Noelle's request. She was already yanking on his sleeve, urging him into a squat. With a patient sigh, Charles crouched down, curious to see what Noelle was up to. However, before he could ask, she had hopped onto his back. "Old geezer, this old gal can't walk another step. Give me a lift, will you?"A grin spread across Charles's face, and he playfully pinched Noelle's nose. "You're something else, you know that?""What's the matter? Not up for it?" Noelle challenged, jutting out her chin and refusing to budge from Charles's back. "Let's go!"Shaking his head with a soft laugh, Charles said, "You're a handful, you know? You've got a baby on board. If I carry you on piggyback, I might squish your tummy. That won't be comfy at all, will it?""So what do we do?" Noelle whined.Without missing a beat, Charles reached back and scoop

The 'waterwheel' Charles mentioned was actually a cute little paddle boat in the river. Once inside, each person would pedal on one side, taking a leisurely boat ride as if on a lake.However, they had chosen the wrong time to go. The sky was darkening, and the evening boat rides were done for the day, probably to prevent mishaps like someone falling into the water at night.Noelle clung to Charles's neck with a look of such sweet sorrow that Charles could not help but notice. He gently stroked her hair. "It's okay. We can’t do it today, but how about we come back first thing tomorrow? I'll pedal with you all day, okay?""Maybe not. I'm not a kid, you know. It's just a bummer we missed out on the fun today!" Noelle was not one to make a fuss. "Let me down, and we can take a stroll by the river and enjoy the breeze!""Sure! Feeling up for a walk now, my little granny?" Charles said with a chuckle.Noelle could not help it. Her cheeks flushed with color once more. She gave Charles

Although Maxwell could be unreasonable at times, Noelle was completely safe around him, at least while she was pregnant. Maxwell would never say anything hurtful to Noelle then.It was clear as day that Charles had Maxwell all figured out. No sooner had they walked through the door than Maxwell started his verbal lashing. However, the target was Charles, not Noelle."Seriously, how old are you now? Do you even realize your wife's pregnant with your kids? You might like eating out, but who knows if it's clean? We've got all the tasty and healthy food you could ever want right here. What's your problem?"Mid-rant, Maxwell went for his cane, aiming to give Charles a piece of his mind the old-fashioned way, but Noelle darted in front of him. The cane froze in mid-swing. Maxwell's hand shook at nearly giving Noelle an unintended whack. He shot her a look that could curdle milk. "Step aside!"Noelle stood her ground. "I'm the one who wanted to eat out today. Don’t blame Charlie!”Maxwel

Sean felt a deep irritation rising within him. Savannah always assumed that Liliana was still clinging to him, unaware that she had long stopped loving him.Now, she probably wished he would disappear from her sight altogether. How could she possibly still be chasing after him?Yet every time Savannah spoke like this, it felt like a knife twisting in his heart, making it even harder to bear.He desperately wanted to find an escape, some way to let go, but he could not do it no matter what he did. He simply could not bring himself to let go.To Savannah, his impatience only added to her displeasure toward Liliana. "I'm talking to you! Are you even listening?" she snapped. I don't care what that woman does. I'll never approve of your relationship with her, so you'd better give up!"Sean's eyes remained fixed on his phone. On the screen was a private message from Charles. It was a video taken just moments ago in the Hoffman family's living room, where they had been discussing Liliana

Liliana flinched slightly. "Grandpa, I'm really not in a hurry right now.""How can you not be?" Maxwell sighed. "Look at the rest—they're all married. You're the only one still single in the Hoffman family. How can I not be worried?"He let out another heavy sigh, shaking his head. "I'm getting old. I've spent so much of my energy worrying about you all."Liliana could not help but smile wryly. "Grandpa, don't say that. I really have been thinking about it. Once Bobby recovers, I'll take my future more seriously.""Really?" Maxwell's eyes lit up. "Well then, don't you worry about Bobby's illness. If you don't want to go to the Smith family's hospital, that's fine. I'll find an even better hospital for him."I'll make sure someone takes care of it. You just focus on yourself, and leave the rest to me."Liliana chuckled. "Alright." She gently patted Bobby's back, soothing him as he drifted off to sleep.Once he was completely asleep, she stood up. "Grandpa, Bobby is asleep now. I

Yves had no objections. If anything, he was eager to marry Kelly as soon as possible. With a smile, he nodded and instinctively glanced at Kelly.Kelly, however, was caught off guard as she looked around at everyone in confusion. She had not expected the conversation, which had been about Noelle and Charles, to suddenly shift to her and Yves.She had been trying to minimize her presence, but somehow, Maxwell had turned his attention to their relationship.For a moment, Kelly felt flustered. "I…""Kelly, what are you still thinking about?" Maxwell said persuasively. "Yves is such a good man. Besides, you two already have a child, and Seth is growing up fast. Do you really want him to grow up without a complete family?"No one knew where Maxwell had picked up his knack for emotional persuasion, but his words left Kelly speechless.Seeing her hesitation, Maxwell turned his gaze to Seth, who stood between Yves and Kelly. "Seth, tell Great-Grandpa—do you like Daddy?""I do!" Seth nod

"What are you talking about, Grandpa?" Noelle protested, clearly displeased. "You have to stick around and watch the little ones grow up!"Maxwell chuckled, delighted by her response. "This girl always knows what to say! But you and Charlie have been married for so long without a wedding or a banquet. Now, you don't even plan on hosting a proper celebration for the babies. What's the point of me staying around if I can't see these things happen?"Noelle was momentarily stunned. She had not expected him to steer the conversation in this direction, leaving her at a loss for words.Maxwell's statement quickly gained support from the others. Mateo and Henry both agreed that a wedding should be held."Exactly! You two have been married for ages, and there are still plenty of people out there who don't even know Noelle is part of the Hoffman family! Now that you've had kids, isn't it time to make things official?"Mateo turned to Charles. "And you, kid—say something! Your wife gave birt

Charles had done everything he could to help, but the emotional knot between them was something he could not untangle. If Liliana ultimately chose to walk away, he would step in to put a stop to Sean's silent pursuit.Yet every time he looked at Liliana's face, he was reminded of that gentle woman he had once sought out in the misty waterways.The Hoffman family had wronged her, yet she never harbored any resentment. Instead, she had only one request, which was for him to take care of Liliana, to watch over her, and to ensure she lived a safe and peaceful life.That woman had never asked for anything in her lifetime. In her final moments, her only wish was for Liliana to grow up in good health, without longing for wealth or status.Liliana seemed to sense someone watching her. She lifted her gaze but saw no one, so she quickly looked away, shifting her attention back to Bobby.She reached out and pinched his chubby little cheeks.

Noelle was speechless.Could someone please tell her why there was such blatant favoritism between two children born to the same parents?The people nearby had also noticed the situation, and soon, muffled laughter spread through the crowd.Even Yves and Kelly could not help but chuckle. Charles was clearly a devoted husband and a doting father—but only to his daughter.As for his son… It seemed Connor now had the lowest rank in the family.Yves shook his head and glanced down at Connor, who had stopped crying. The little boy simply stared at Glitter as if watching her intently.Noelle sighed, feeling both exasperated and amused. Was Charles being biased? Connor was just as adorable!Meanwhile, on the other side of the hall, Clarisse had previously reached out to Liliana in private, hoping she would return to the family.At first, Liliana had remained noncommittal. Later, even Maxwell had personally approached her, expressing his desire for her to come back, admitting that the

"What else could it be?"Noelle did not even need to look to know exactly what Charles was up to. She sighed as she glanced at her sister, who was still oblivious.Meanwhile, Yves and Charles seemed to have reached an agreement on stage. The two men shook hands before stepping down together.Charles walked straight to Noelle's side and, without hesitation, took Nora from her arms. The moment Nora saw him, her bright eyes sparkled with excitement.She let out a series of delighted coos, clearly overjoyed to be in his arms. She was barely a month old, yet somehow, she was already showing favoritism.Noelle could not help but feel a little jealous. She had been holding Nora just moments ago, yet the little one had not shown this level of enthusiasm.Pouting, she reached out and gently pinched Nora's cheek. In response, Nora turned her head away, ignoring Noelle entirely. Instead, she snuggled into Charles' chest, continuing her happy babbling.Noelle scowled. "Hmph, ungrateful litt

Charles chuckled. "Are you sure?"Yves narrowed his eyes and leaned in close, lowering his voice so only the two of them could hear. "Charles, what the hell are you up to?"Charles smirked. "Nothing much. I just want to make sure you're certain about this."His gaze suddenly shifted toward Kelly. "Tell me, do you think my dear sister-in-law might find someone better?"A sharp glint flashed through Yves' narrowed eyes. "Charles, aren't you afraid I'll take over Collosus Group entirely?" His teeth clenched as frustration flickered across his face.Charles simply shrugged, utterly unbothered. "I'm just afraid you won't.""You—" Yves could feel the vein in his temple pulsing.He never expected Charles—renowned for his ruthless decisiveness—to be such a schemer! He was utterly devoid of a moral compass. "Where is your conscience?"Charles arched a brow. "Can't help it. I have a wife and kids to take care of. I don't have time to waste.""And I do?" Yves shot back, clearly irritated
