"Honestly, I think any of these options…""They all look good?""All…" Sean paused. He thought to himself, 'They're all the same!'He nodded as if affirming his own statement. "Exactly. Uncle Harrison, don't you trust the Smith family's impeccable genes? Look at my face, then look at yours—it's perfection!"Harrison shot Sean a look of disdain. "Be serious!""Alright, alright!" Sean cleared his throat dramatically. "Actually, the one who asked to meet you is Charles. He said he wants to have a face-to-face today and will be bringing Noelle along." Sean could not help but offer a word of caution. "Uncle Harrison, you left without a word back then, and maybe you had your reasons. But you're no different from Shirley to Noelle. In her eyes, both of you abandoned her. So… what I mean is, you need to be prepared. This may not go as smoothly as you hope."Harrison's expression stiffened. "I know."If he did not, he would have acknowledged Noelle as his daughter long ago instead of w

"Aunt Noelle lost again! Aunt Noelle lost again!" Anna clapped her hands and turned to Charles with a cheeky grin. "Uncle Charles, Aunt Noelle lost again!""Really? Anna, you're amazing!" Charles pinched Anna's nose playfully. "Aunt Noelle looks tired. Why don't you come over here and play with me instead?"He then scooped Anna up and placed her on the seat beside him.Anna pouted. "No, no! Uncle Charles, I want to sit between you and Aunt Noelle!"She wriggled her little legs, moving closer to Noelle. She tugged at her sleeve with a pleading look. "Aunt Noelle, am I still your little sweetheart?"Noelle could not help but laugh. "Of course, you're always my little sweetheart. Come here!"She patted the spot next to her and lifted Anna onto the seat in the middle. "Uncle Charles can feed you later, alright?""Okay!" Anna beamed while nodding enthusiastically, but then her gaze shifted to the door. "Huh?"Noelle and Charles turned to look at the entrance, where Sean leaned casua

"Let's order some food. Anna's still growing and probably hungry," Noelle said, prompting the manager to walk in promptly. "Mrs. Hoffman, what would you like to order?"Noelle smiled warmly. "Anna, what do you feel like eating?""This one and this one..." Anna pointed her little finger at pictures on the menu, clearly drawn by the bright colors rather than knowing what the dishes actually were.Charles, however, took the menu and closed it decisively. He turned to the manager and said, "Prepare something suitable for a pregnant woman."The manager froze for a moment, then quickly nodded. "Of course, Mr. Hoffman. I'll arrange it right away."After the manager left, the room fell into silence again.Noelle found the quiet unsettling. The stillness left her feeling hollow. She glanced at Charles, then at Harrison.She noticed that Harrison seemed different today compared to their previous meetings. He was dressed more meticulously and sat rigidly, and his expression was devoid of a

Charles' gaze flickered briefly, and Sean seized the moment. "Once Noelle takes the Smith name, she'll officially be my cousin too. Sure, she's your wife, and she already commands respect, but no one would dare say a word against her in the future with the Smiths backing her, right?"Charles curved his lips into a faint smile. "As I said before, if Nelly wants to accept this, I won't stop her. But if she doesn't, I won't tolerate anyone forcing her."Sean thumped his chest. "Of course! It all depends on her decision. But even if she doesn't take the Smith name, she's still my cousin. I'm saying that right here and now."Charles nodded and then shifted his sharp gaze to Harrison. "Mr. Harrison, I don't care what happened between you and Ms. Shrill in the past. No matter the reasons, they can't excuse abandoning Nelly. Does Ms. Shrill know about your intention to acknowledge Nelly? What's her stance on this?"Harrison's expression darkened instantly. "She... She's irrelevant.""I he

"Where's Noelle?" Yitty glanced around but did not see her, so her gaze locked on Sean. "Sean, where is she?"Sean frowned. "Aunt Yitty, why are all of you here?" Though reluctant, he stood up and took a look at his family. What he saw nearly made him stumble as nearly the entire Smith family had shown up.Not only were Yisroel and Yitty present, but his parents, Hayes and Savannah, too. Hazel Smith, his third aunt who had been living abroad for years, was present as well.Sean massaged his forehead. "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, you all—""Enough of your nonsense! I'm asking you where she is!" Yisroel snapped at Sean and then raised his cane, aiming it at Harrison. "You ungrateful son! Didn't you say you were meeting my granddaughter? Where is she?"Harrison winced as the cane struck him, his face paling slightly. He stood up and said, "Dad, Noelle went to the restroom. She'll—"His gaze shifted to Charles. "Dad, this is Noelle's husband."Yisroel squinted as he turned his sharp gaze to

Sean really did not want to say it, but with such a massive group here, it was not just Noelle—anyone would be startled. If she saw this scene, she would probably want to run."Mrs. Hoffman, why are you standing outside?"The manager, who was carrying a tray of food, noticed Noelle standing at the doorway. Glancing inside, he was momentarily startled by the crowd. If someone did not know better, they might think a mob had come seeking revenge.Everyone in the private room turned their heads toward the door upon hearing voices outside."Noelle!" Yitty exclaimed."What? Is this Noelle? My biological granddaughter?" Yisroel rushed forward eagerly, carefully examining Noelle. He nodded repeatedly with a look of satisfaction on his face. "Ah, good, very good!"Noelle stood awkwardly in place, clutching Anna's hand. The grip tightened due to her nervousness, causing Anna to scrunch up her face."Aunt Noelle, it hurts!" Anna complained.Snapping out of her thoughts, Noelle immediately

After receiving Charles' approval, the manager quickly instructed the staff to prepare. The larger private room on the east side was ready in no time. The group moved en masse, with Charles carrying Anna in one arm and holding Noelle's hand with the other.They led the way, while the Smith family followed behind, whispering among themselves."Sean, you're familiar with this Charles, right? What's he like? Is he good to Noelle?" Yisroel asked.Sean could not help but roll his eyes. "He's good, very good." If Charles was not, would this meeting even have been arranged? Would he have gone to such lengths to advocate for Noelle?Still, since the question came from Yisroel, Sean answered more seriously, "Charles is incredibly devoted. Back when Noelle and I barely knew each other, whenever she faced difficulties, it was always Charles who stepped in to help."Yisroel nodded as he was visibly pleased. "Good, good. That's all I need to hear. I was worried this young man might be unfaithf

"Grandpa, why are you still carrying Grandma's pendant around with you?" Sean interjected when he noticed Noelle's awkwardness."You brat, what do you know? Your grandma didn't get to travel much when she was alive. Carrying this with me on my trips is like having her accompany me," Yisroel explained with a sentimental tone before turning back to Noelle, his expression softening."Noelle, just take it."Noelle swallowed hard. "Um… Sir Smith, there's no need for this!"Initially, she did not want to accept it, but she felt even more reluctant after Sean's comment. This was the Smith family's heirloom, something that surely carried great importance. It did not sit well with her that Yisroel would disregard his own children and grandchildren to give it to her.Hearing her refusal, Yisroel's face immediately fell. He looked at Noelle with a pitiful expression. "Do you think it's not valuable enough? Don't worry, this is just a small token for our first meeting. I have plenty more trea

This wedding was nothing short of spectacular. Every moment was meticulously recorded by a dedicated team, with cameras set up throughout the venue to capture every detail of the ceremony from all angles.Charles and Noelle barely had a moment to rest as they moved from table to table, toasting guests with endless glasses of wine. The atmosphere remained lively and joyous deep into the night. It was not until the early hours of the morning that Noelle finally helped Charles to a private lounge on the second floor of the hotel.Though many had stepped in to shield them from excessive drinking, there was no avoiding the celebratory nature of the occasion. The alcohol had inevitably taken its toll. After settling Charles onto the couch, Noelle fetched some honey water and a warm towel before returning to his side.Charles lay slightly on his side, propping his chin up with one hand. Noelle sat beside him and handed him the towel, but he did not reach for it.Sighing, she called soft

Sean clicked his tongue, shaking his head in amusement. "Charles, your body is here, but your heart is clearly somewhere else."Then, as if making an even bigger discovery, he gestured toward a spot not far away. "Oh, I say, Charles, this is a real crisis. See that?"With the enthusiasm of someone who thrived on drama, Sean pointed at Noelle and Grant. "I don't know, man. That guy doesn't look like he's here with good intentions."Charles raised an eyebrow, his gaze darkening as it settled on Noelle and Grant. He gripped his glass a little tighter, but his eyes refused to move away from them. Still, his words were dismissive. "He's just another big brother-in-law. That's all.""Yeah, right. Just admit it—he's a strong rival."The second Sean finished speaking, he felt an icy stare pierce through him. Charles' glare was sharp enough to cut. "Hmm? What did you just say?""Nothing!" Sean swallowed hard, instantly backtracking. Dear god, a jealous man was terrifying!"You think he's

Grant's eyes carried too many emotions—too many things unspoken. Noelle could not fully understand, but she could sense that there was something significant behind his words.The diary in her hands had to hold something important that was possibly related to the past she had forgotten. Perhaps they were the lost pieces of her memory that she had always assumed were not crucial.She had assumed so because otherwise, she would have recalled them after all these years. Besides, they had not seemed to affect her life in any meaningful way.Over time, she had gradually let go of the idea of remembering.Yet now, with Grant handing her this diary, an unsettling feeling crept over her as if she had forgotten something incredibly important—something she could not afford to lose.Holding the diary tightly, Noelle felt a strange mix of emotions that she could not quite describe.She hesitated before murmuring, "Thank you."In the end, she did not ask Grant where he had gotten the diary.

"Alright!" Charles took the glass from Bob's hand and downed it in one go.Standing beside him, Noelle opened her mouth slightly and reached out to tug at Charles' arm. "Charlie… Take it easy!"With so many guests around, Charles had already had quite a bit to drink. If they kept pushing more onto him, how would he handle it?Noelle looked at him with concern, but Charles simply smiled and gently patted the back of her hand. "I'm fine.""Oh, wow, are you showing off your love for each other right in front of us? Are you trying to make us single folks suffer?"Simon chimed in, fueling the lively atmosphere. He had always been the laid-back type, and now, paired with Sean, the two seemed to hit it off instantly. They were like long-lost partners in crime. They exchanged a knowing glance, clearly set on making Charles drink more.Noelle wanted to say something, but seeing the calm look Charles gave her, she hesitated and eventually let them have their fun.With that, Charles was dr

Charles opened the gift box, revealing a pair of crystal flats. Noelle was surprised, but before she could react, Charles had already removed her heels and was carefully helping her into the new shoes.Gasps of astonishment rippled through the crowd, and Noelle could not help but feel a little embarrassed. However, Charles remained completely focused, his movements gentle and precise as he secured the flats on her feet before helping her stand again.The moment Noelle stood up, she immediately felt much more comfortable. However, a new problem arose.Her wedding gown had been tailored for the height of her heels, and now, with the flats, she had suddenly lost nearly three inches. It caused the hem of her dress to drag awkwardly on the floor. It looked far from elegant.Noelle shot a troubled look at Charles. Without hesitation, he crouched down once more. With a few effortless movements, he gathered the outer layers of her gown, tying them into a casual knot at the side.Noelle's

"Grandpa, Granddad!" Noelle called out, holding Charles's hand as they approached. Sebastian waved them over, "Noelle, come to my side!" Holding Charles's hand, Noelle walked up to Sebastian and let go to hug his arm, "Granddad!""There's my sweet girl!" Sebastian's eyes twinkled with joy as he looked at Noelle and Charles.Charles's lips were always tipped with a gentle smile, and he joined Noelle, saying, "Granddad!""Yes, wonderful!"Finally, the big day came—a wedding with a beautiful ceremony.Sebastian was really proud of Charles, his star student. Then, Noelle married Charles, and Sebastian felt a huge relief, as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.Sebastian felt a little sad thinking about Noelle getting married for real. He pulled a small box from his pocket and said, "Your grandma got this from her family when she was alive. Now, I want you to have it!""No, I can't take this!" Noelle said quickly when she heard it was from her grandma.However, Sebastian sh

"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
