The Cherished Wife Chapter 1421
"You..."Charles let out a chuckle and casually fixed his cufflink, showing no worry at all.Jade and Julian were on edge, waiting to see what would happen. They both knew that whatever anyone else said did not really matter. Any problem could be fixed with one word from Charles.Charles looked at Noelle and gave her a reassuring smile before turning to Julian and Jade."Winter is treated like a golden child at Royal Star. For the next five years, we'll give her all the opportunities to grow her career," Charles said, his voice deep and clear. It was not loud, but it was captivating enough to make anyone listen. "Royal Star has spent millions on Winter. Have you and Mr. Shaw even spent $150,000 on Noelle in over twenty years of raising her?""You... That's not fair! Raising a child is more important than anything!""Really? Should I just give you the whole Collosus Group or the Hoffman family, then?" Charles said with a sideways glance that made Jade feel small.He was still sit

Charles just smiled a little, not looking convinced."Mr. Shaw, you probably know the situation better than I do. If City Ring Corp. can really do it, I wouldn't say no," Charles said, tapping the table. "Let's talk business. I hope you understand!"Julian felt too embarrassed to reply after being talked down to by someone younger. However, Jade could not stay quiet. "Noelle's still part of my Shaw family, and you're her husband and our son-in-law. What's wrong with helping your father-in-law?"Charles's face turned stormy. It was obvious that Jade had really made him mad."Mrs. Shaw, are you trying to make a deal with me or are you trying to sell your daughter out? If you want a deal, I might consider talking to you. But remember, you only get one shot. If you blow it, the Shaw family won't get another chance, and that includes your daughter!""Are you threatening me?" Jade's hands balled into fists. "You act like you care about Noelle, but you won't even spend a dime for her sak

As long as Noelle's last name was still Shaw, she could not escape Jade and Julian's constant meddling. Samuel was getting old and did not know how much time he had left. He did not have the strength to protect Noelle anymore, so he had to leave her in the care of someone who could."Harrison, you've made a promise, so you have to take good care of Noelle!""Don't worry, sir. Noelle is my daughter, so I'll make sure she's well taken care of!" Harrison might not have liked Jade and the others, but he really respected Samuel.Samuel nodded, then turned to Charles. "Charles, I know the Hoffmans have high standards, and I know they have doubts about Noelle. But she's a wonderful girl, and I'm sure it won't be long before the Hoffmans see that too. Until then, you've got to do your duty as a husband and love Noelle with all your heart.""You can count on me, Grandpa." Charles gently took Noelle's hand in his. "My heart will never change when it comes to Noelle."Samuel nodded, feelin

"And what do you propose we do?" Samuel asked sharply. "Don't think I'm unaware of your little schemes. I've told you, Noelle is my girl, so you’d better not be plotting anything against her, understood?""But Dad, you can't just say that. Noelle's name is still under our family in the registry. As long as we don't agree, Harrison or the Smith family can't just snatch her away no matter how strong they are, right? We've taken care of her all this time, and we deserve some credit for that!" Jade could not hold back. "Look at the Smiths and the Hoffmans. They're loaded, and we...""Are you really concerned about Noelle, or is it just about what you stand to gain?" Samuel challenged. "I'm not the type to profit from my granddaughter. This matter is not up for debate. I called you here to ask you to hand over the family registry book."Jade could not believe her ears. "Dad, are you out of your mind? You're really going to let Noelle change her last name without getting anything for it?

"I don't care. I'm not going to let this go so easily," Jade fumed as she returned to her room. She snapped at Julian, "Are you just going to accept this?"Julian shot her a fierce look. "And what do you propose we do?"Jade huffed. "Why have we worked so hard for nothing? Remember when dad gave Noelle the City Ring Corp. shares? He did it because she was part of the Shaw family. But now she's changed her last name, so she's not a Shaw anymore. Why should she keep our shares?"Julian remembered once Jade mentioned it. "Yeah, Dad did give Noelle the shares." He had not agreed with it, but Samuel had been firm.Julian always respected his father, so he would not argue with Samuel. However, Jade had a point. Noelle was not a Shaw anymore, it did not seem right for her to keep the shares."So, what's your plan?" Julian asked."If they want to keep their family status, that's fine. Just give us back the shares," Jade said with confidence. "Tell your dad, and go talk to Noelle about it

"Do you still doubt my capabilities, Mr. Shaw?" Charles asked with a cold laugh. "If I was able to marry Nelly without your knowledge, I can certainly manage without your household registry."With a composed demeanor, he tugged the blanket over Noelle, ensuring she was snugly covered. Only then did he rise and step onto the balcony as his gaze drifted to the scene below.Maxwell was seated with Harrison, engaged in a game of chess. Harrison had arrived early, likely for the sole purpose of discussing the name change.Harrison noticed Charles on the balcony and gave him a nod, acknowledging his presence. Charles inclined his head slightly in return before redirecting his focus.Tapping the balcony railing with his fingers, he said, "I won't keep chatting with you now, Mr. Shaw.""Hey, wait—" Julian tried to respond, but Charles efficiently ended the call without another word."What's going on?" Jade asked as she approached, noticing Julian's sour expression. "Did Noelle give you a

Charles froze for a moment while pouring tea, finding the situation amusing. "When have you ever tasted the tea brewed by Nelly?""Of course, I've had it! Last time I…" Maxwell paused mid-sentence, then let out a huff. "Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do, boy. Are you planning to highlight my shortcomings in front of your father-in-law?"Maxwell had initially disapproved of Noelle, but now, it seemed he was eating his own words. Nevertheless, Maxwell had the rare ability to admit when he was wrong.Charles handed teacups to Maxwell and Harrison before casually remarking, "I'll arrange for the surname change."Harrison paused at this. "Noelle's household registration is still with the Shaws. It's only proper to inform them. Sir Shaw has always treated Noelle well."Charles smirked coldly. "Julian called Noelle this morning.""Oh?" Maxwell perked up, clearly intrigued. "What did he say? It can't be about the household registry, could it?"Charles nodded. "From the s

Noelle was carried downstairs by Charles, much to her protest. She insisted on walking down herself, but Charles simply refused.Covering her face with a hand, she could not help but mutter to herself, feeling as though she was being treated like an invalid. Charles sighed and gave Noelle's hand a gentle tug. "Alright, I'll let you down in a bit."Harrison and Maxwell happened to walk in from the yard, just in time to see the two of them bickering.Harrison's face lit up with amusement. "Noelle!"The smile on Noelle's face froze for a moment, but she quickly forced it back, curving her lips slightly. "You're here?"Although she did not call him "Dad", the gesture was already a significant step forward for Harrison. He nodded, smiling warmly. "I came to check on you and discuss the household registry with Charlie."Noelle's expression stiffened. "Is it really necessary to change it?"She glanced hesitantly between Harrison and Charles."It's not mandatory," Harrison said quickly

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
