That was good to hear. Charles had been worried Noelle might not be able to handle it.His eyes darkened slightly as his gaze rested on Noelle. "Did you have a good dinner?"He had originally planned to accompany her tonight, but Noelle had refused. Besides, he was tied up with work and could not leave.Not to mention, Noelle had insisted on going alone; she wanted to see how Shirley truly felt about her.Although they had crossed paths before, Noelle had not been sure of Shirley's attitude. Yet after tonight, she understood a few things.Shirley did not like her. In fact, she seemed to resent or even hate her. Otherwise, Shirley would not have behaved the way she did in that setting."Of course, it was fine!" Noelle forced a smile. Yet thinking about Shirley's attitude toward her, she could not help but feel a twinge of discomfort.Even though Noelle didn't think she needed parental care anymore, the longing for family was something she could not entirely shake, no matter her a

Harrison was no longer the young man from 15 years ago. He had become a demon while she…Shirley looked at her battered face in the mirror, wanting to laugh but unable to muster even a faint smile.She could still recall every word Harrison had thrown at her, whether her eyes were open or closed. For years, those words haunted her, refusing to fade.However, the events had already transpired, and none of them could change the past.The door to her room opened as Harrison gripped the doorknob with one hand.When he saw Shirley slumped on the floor in front of the mirror, a fleeting glimmer of darkness crossed his eyes before quickly vanishing.He stepped inside with slow, deliberate steps. His uneven gait, caused by his injured leg, gave his movements an awkward, almost jarring quality.Behind him followed a man carrying a medical kit. The man had a cheerful demeanor, but when his gaze landed on Shirley, a flicker of something inscrutable flashed in his eyes."Uncle Harrison, yo
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1346
Shirley's eyes reddened as she whimpered, "You have no right to mention him."Her voice was faint, almost inaudible, and the pain forced her to cover her mouth as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.Harrison's chest tightened momentarily, but he reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his rough fingertips."Tell me, how could your heart be so cruel when you abandoned Noelle back then?"Shirley instinctively took a step back, but Harrison pulled her closer, leaving her no room to escape. "Maddy, running away won't solve anything.""You're not well, so rest for now," Harrison continued, his tone calm yet commanding. "Once you've recovered, I'll take you back to see your father.""No!" Shirley cried out in panic.She shook her head fervently, tears cascading down her cheeks. It was not that she did not want to go back—it was that she could not.Her father, Sebastian, despised her with every fiber of his being. He loathed her for her heartl

"Since you've got this under control, I won't say much. Just make sure you know what you're doing," Hayes said while patting Harrison's shoulder. "Take a seat and explain what's going on. Isn't Noelle Julian Shaw and Jade Jones' daughter?"Ever since the events of 25 years ago, the Smith family had rarely interacted with the Jones family, let alone the Shaw family. As a result, Hayes was not well-informed about the Shaw family's situation.However, Noelle's name had come up in conversations recently.Hayes recalled a phone call from Savannah a few days ago mentioning Noelle. At the time, he had been too busy to pay much attention and only caught bits and pieces.Now, hearing Harrison bring it up, Hayes remembered that Julian indeed had two daughters. The elder one, Winter, was now a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.As for the younger daughter, Noelle, Hayes had not heard much about her. What little he had heard wasn't exactly flattering.Thinking of this, Hayes' ex

"What kind of information do you want?" Peter waved his hand, signaling Brandon to look for Tania, then stepped out onto the beach.Squinting against the sunlight, he asked, "He doesn't seem to have anything suspicious going on abroad. What are you worried about?""Nothing much," Sean replied with a chuckle. "So, when are you and Tania coming back? You've left that company of yours to Jamie. Aren't you afraid one day he'll swallow it whole? By then, you'll be left with nothing."Peter snorted dismissively, clearly unconcerned. "If he can take it, then I'd have to admit his skill, doesn't it?"Sean clicked his tongue. "Peter, does this mean you're not planning to come back? Got too comfortable there, huh? I bet Tania doesn't care what you're up to. But mark my words, if you keep idling like this, you'll go broke one day. Then we'll see if Tania still wants you!"Peter let out another cold laugh. "Don't you worry about me. Even if I lose everything, my wife has money. My brother-in-

Ellen felt a jolt in her chest. "But Ms. Shrill, you came back to the country fully prepared for this. You've already discussed everything with Royal Star. Are you sure you want to back out now? Carvonia has no room for you to grow anymore."Ellen spoke bluntly, her words cutting straight to the point. "You're not exactly young anymore. Staying abroad may not offer you the same opportunities as being here.""Enough. Whether it's good or not, that's my choice," Shirley snapped. "You can tell Harrison that I—""Tell me what?" Harrison entered from outside, his expression cold and sharp. He stared at Shirley. "You're not a child anymore. You need to face the consequences of your actions instead of running away. Do you really think you can keep avoiding things after all these years?"Shirley's expression darkened, but she remained silent.Harrison gestured toward the car. "Get in.""Alright."After Ellen left, Harrison sneered, "Madison, do you really think you can go back now? Sinc

Shirley merely scoffed twice. Seeing her reaction, Ellen felt a wave of awkwardness and chose to remain silent.The car quickly arrived at the parking lot. Since Royal Star had made prior arrangements, the reporters and paparazzi had no access to the area.Shirley opened the car door and stepped out, immediately noticing Harrison following behind her. Her face darkened instantly. "Why are you getting out?"Harrison smirked. "Naturally, I'm here to check out your future workplace and see what kind of environment it offers."Ignoring Shirley, he strode forward confidently.The Royal Star representative, who was waiting to receive them, noticed the middle-aged man accompanying Shirley and looked momentarily surprised. However, he refrained from commenting. "Ms. Shrill, this way, please."Harrison glanced at Shirley, whose reluctance was written all over her face, and stepped into the elevator without hesitation. Ellen followed closely behind.Shirley clenched her teeth. She began w

"Ms. Shaw, are you familiar with the Smiths?" Harrison's eyebrows shot up in surprise as he turned to Noelle. She quickly nodded. "Yeah, Mr. Smith and I go way back. And who might you be?""I'm Sean's uncle!" Harrison chuckled, a twinkle in his eye. "Looks like we're practically family!""Come on in, Mr. Harrison Smith. You too, Ms. Shrill!" Noelle did not pry into the specifics of Harrison and Shirley's connection, nor did she ask Harrison to leave. Instead, she made sure he was treated like a VIP."Yoana, could you get Mr. Harrison Smith a coffee?" Noelle paused briefly before adding, "Is there any particular way you like it, Mr. Smith?""I'm easy to please!" Harrison replied with a warm, appreciative smile.Noelle gave him a small nod. "Alright then, a Honeyed Lavender Latte it is. And for Ms. Shrill?""No thanks," Shirley cut in sharply, her patience wearing thin. "Don't trouble yourself over me, Ms. Shaw. I won't have anything."Noelle's lips quirked into a sly smile. "Yoan

"Wow, I can't believe that just happened!""Look at that! Charles is actually so considerate and gentle—it’s hard to believe!”Charles slipped the crystal shoes onto Noelle's feet and then scooped her up in his arms. With that, the noisy crowd made their way out of the place.Outside the place, a line of fancy cars waited. People climbed in, and they all set off for the hotel.As the luxury cars rolled away from the Smith residence, reporters followed, eager to capture every moment of the spectacle.Even though the Hoffmans and the Smiths had told the press to stay out of certain areas, they could not stop them from snapping pictures on the public streets. So, the day's big moments ended up all over the internet.In front of the hotel run by the Nexus Group, car after car pulled up and parked. The whole street had been cleared out just for today's wedding party.Charles, looking sharp in his white suit, stepped out of the car and turned his back to the door. A pretty figure in w

The church was alive with love and happiness, the air buzzing with laughter, congratulations, and heartfelt connections. For a moment, Charles stood still, holding Noelle’s hand, soaking in the overwhelming joy that surrounded them. It wasn’t just the ceremony that made the day special—it was the people they loved, the memories they’d shared, and the future they were about to build together.As the crowd slowly began to disperse, the newlyweds, still smiling and basking in the glow of their love, made their way out of the church, ready to begin the rest of their lives together.Just then, the bridesmaids—Kelly, Liliana and Linda—and the groomsmen—Sean, Peter, and the others—emerged from the church. They were all smiling, but especially Sean, who had his usual carefree, playful attitude. He walked up behind Charles as if he were about to give him a friendly shove.However, before Sean could do anything else, it was obvious that Charles was not pleased with him at all. With a quick mo

Meanwhile, Charles caught sight of his mother, Clarisse and father, Mateo, both of them beaming with pride. Clarisse's eyes were bright with tears as she dabbed at them with a tissue, while Mateo's face was etched with a quiet, proud smile."Charles!" Clarisse called out, her voice thick with emotion. She was barely holding it together, and her hands trembled as she waved him over for a hug. Charles went to her, his heart swelling, and pulled her into his arms. "I'm so proud of you," she whispered, and the emotion in her voice made his chest tighten. He pulled back, giving her a soft smile, and then hugged Mateo, who patted him on the back."Don't you go breaking her heart, Charles," Mateo said with a wink, making everyone nearby laugh. It was a comment Charles had heard many times before, but today, it carried a deeper, more heartfelt meaning.He turned to Noelle, and she smiled at him, her eyes crinkling at the corners in that way he loved. Her parents were waiting for her, and

When it was Noelle's turn, she spoke her vows in a voice that trembled ever so slightly, but her words were strong. "Charles, you are my home," she said. "From the moment we met, I knew I'd found someone who would be my partner for the rest of my life. I promise to love you, to support you, and to share my life with you in all its highs and lows."It was beautiful, simple, and perfect. Charles could feel his heart swelling again, but then it was full of certainty. That was it. That was the moment he had been waiting for.The officiant smiled and nodded, glancing at Charles. "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Charles, you may kiss your bride."The church erupted in applause as Charles leaned in to kiss Noelle, his heart beating faster than ever. The kiss was soft but full of meaning, a promise of everything to come. When they pulled away, he could not help but laugh with happiness, and Noelle joined in, her face flushed with joy.They turned to face

She appeared at the doorway, standing tall in her flowing white gown, the lace sparkling in the light. Her veil covered most of her face, but her eyes, the ones he had fallen in love with all those years ago, gleamed at him from beneath it. For a brief moment, it felt like time had stopped. She looked like an angel, and as she started her slow walk down the aisle, Charles could not help but feel his heart swell with love and pride.At her side, Kelly smiled at her, holding Noelle's bouquet carefully. Kelly, always the organized one, was keeping it together despite the emotion of the moment. However, just as they reached the halfway point, Kelly's heel caught on the edge of a pew, and she stumbled slightly. There was a collective gasp, followed by a nervous giggle from the crowd. Kelly straightened herself quickly, her face turning a little pink, but she winked at Noelle and whispered, "Just making sure everyone is paying attention." Noelle stifled a laugh, her cheeks flushing wi

Outside the church, Noelle and her bridesmaids stood together, while inside, Charles eagerly awaited her, clutching a bouquet of roses.Tania stood with Rowena and Teresa, their laughter and chatter creating a joyful buzz. Meanwhile, Noelle's heart was racing, but she stayed cool as a cucumber, took a deep breath, and braced herself for the biggest moment of her life."Hey, have you guys heard that funny wedding joke that's going around?" Tania piped up suddenly. Everyone turned to look at her, eager to hear the joke. "So, there was this bride who asked her bridesmaid, 'Can I go without shoes today?' The bridesmaid was surprised and asked, 'Why would you go without shoes?' The bride giggled and said, 'Because I don't want my own steps to be too loud!'" Tania chuckled, and everyone laughed along.The church doors swung open, and Noelle's dad held her hand, guiding her slowly down the long aisle toward Charles, who stood waiti

On the wedding day, Noelle's heart raced with excitement. She slipped into her beautiful wedding dress and stood looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a white gown and could hardly believe that moment was real. She looked so beautiful and full of hope that she almost forgot how nervous and thrilled she felt."You look so beautiful, Noelle! Like a princess," Linda said from behind her. Noelle turned and saw her bridesmaids smiling at her. She smiled back, feeling thankful and a little nervous."Thanks, everyone. I can't believe how perfect today is," Noelle said, her voice full of emotion. She looked at the ring in her hand, feeling so happy and excited.She walked over to the bed, picked up her phone, and called Charles. When he answered, she heard his deep voice say, "Honey, I can't wait to see you." Noelle felt a warm glow inside and smiled. "I feel the same, Charles. I love you."After she ended the call, she stood in front of the mirror once more, gazing at her wedd

Kelly and Noelle were sisters and looked almost the same, both incredibly beautiful. Liliana was like a finely carved statue of beauty, and then there were Linda and Eloise. One was sweet and charming, while the other was cool and aloof, like a regal ice queen.Tania blinked her eyes, "Aren't they lovely? I chose the bridesmaids' dresses." She let out a sigh, "I had hoped to be a bridesmaid too, such a shame!"Their happy chatter filled the house, and Noelle felt like the luckiest girl in the world. She turned to Kelly, her best bridesmaid, her eyes shining with thanks. "Kelly, I'm so grateful you're always here for me," Noelle said softly. Kelly grinned and gave her a gentle shoulder pat, "You don't have to thank me, Noelle. You're my sister and seeing you so happy with the right guy is all I could wish for."Linda, touched by their words, had teary eyes like she was the bride too. She dashed from the kitchen, lifted a cup, and laughed, "I feel like I've turned into your wedding pl

"Yeah." Charles chuckled, planting a kiss on the corner of Noelle's eye. "All of this is yours, feel free to touch all you want!"Noelle's cheeks flushed bright red, and she tried to pull her hands back, but Charles gently held onto them. "What's wrong? I don't let anyone else touch me!""You're such a tease!" Noelle's face turned even redder, "Ever since we got married, you've just gotten cheekier and cheekier.""Yeah, I'm all yours," Charles said as he cradled Noelle's face in his hands, their eyes locked in a gaze.Just like that, time stood still. They looked at each other as if they could never look away. "Charlie!""Noelle!"
