"You came here in the middle of the night just for this?"After a long silence, Charles finally asked, "Are you afraid?"Noelle felt a bit lost and nodded. "I am a little scared. Will you help me?"Charles curled his lips into a smile. Seeing Noelle's anxious expression, he realized she was genuinely frightened. Reputation was indeed very important for a woman. "You don’t need to worry about this for now. I’ll take care of it."Since they were already married, he would not let this matter go unchecked.Seeing Noelle visibly relax, he smiled. "Don't worry about it. It's late. Go rest."Noelle bit her lip. Her previously agitated mind was now calm thanks to Charles.She trusted that he would help her. She could not quite pinpoint as to why she believed this, but she just felt that Charles was reliable.Seeing Noelle still standing there, Charles raised an eyebrow. "My darling wife, are you waiting to invite me to bed?""Huh?" Noelle quickly looked up and shook her head. "No. I..

"Robert!"Lareal raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You haven't fixed it yet?""Well, I've been tied up with other stuff, or I wouldn't have asked for your help!" Ronald said with a shrug. Lareal booted up the computer and looked at Ronald curiously. "What's up?"Ronald explained, "It's about the boss's wife. It's a real headache, and I might need your help later on!""The boss' wife? When did Mr. Hoffman get married? Why didn't I hear about it?" Lareal's eyes sparkled with excitement....Meanwhile, Winter stormed into her house, her rage causing a path of destruction and leaving the Shaw family's maids too frightened to show their faces. Only Lucy, the maid who always stuck by Winter's side, was left to tidy up the chaos.Winter was fuming from the snub she received at the mall. She was the Shaw family's pride and joy, not to mention a famous star. Should people in town not be lining up to give her the time of day?However, Charles had ignored her completely, and worse, he rec

Samiel knew Winter's true colors all too well. She might act all proper when she was out, but at home, she was a different person. Her petty tricks might fool others, but they did not fool him."Domestic helpers are people too. They work hard for their money and deserve respect. You shouldn't be hitting people and breaking things. Where did you get such a temper?" Samuel tapped his cane on the floor before turning to Julian. "Look at the fine daughter you've raised.""Dad!" Julian was taken aback. He never thought Winter would do such things, especially at home. He believed that despite her occasional spoiled behavior, she was still a well-mannered young lady who might complain a bit about Noelle but nothing more. "I'll make sure to teach her a lesson about this.""Please teach her the right way," Samuel said, clearly not convinced. "I just don't understand how you've raised her. She's been overly competitive since she was little, always taking things from Noelle. Snatching a toy is

Jade ushered Winter into the room. After shutting the door, she gave her a stern look. "What's gotten into you? Didn't I tell you to hold it in? You can't lose your temper at home, especially not in situations like this."Jade's heart sank as she recalled Samuel's attitude. She had been part of the Shaw family for years, but Samuel had always been distant toward her, and it was the same with her children."Mom, I know I messed up. Please don't be mad at me anymore!" Winter, ever the skilled actress, had quickly pulled herself together and was now sweetly holding Jade's hand. "I didn't manage to stay calm today, but do you know why?" Winter bit her lip, still upset about it.Jade knew her daughter well. Winter was usually so graceful and knew exactly how to act around others. She would not normally do something so out of character as she did today. "What happened?"Winter said with frustration, "It's all Noelle's fault.""Noelle? What does she have to do with it? Did she cause you

Jade quickly let go. "I'm so sorry, sweetheart. Are you okay?"Winter shook her head. "Why are you telling me to keep it a secret?" She had been hoping to use that secret to persuade her grandfather to change his mind.Jade looked sad. "Have you forgotten about Simon?""Simon York?" Winter gasped as the memory of that man flashed through her mind. She remembered the day she had brought Noelle to Simon. It had been a perfect chance, yet somehow, Noelle slipped away.Noelle was drugged that day. Winter had seen her mom double the dose in the coffee. Winter figured if Noelle ended up with Simon at Samuel's birthday party, Samuel would be let down by Noelle and Xavier would think less of her.If Noelle made a scene at Samuel's party, she would be just as disgraced as Simon.Winter had thought figured out, but no one expected Noelle to slip away. Simon did not catch Noelle. Instead, Noelle turned the tables and injured him, landing him in the hospital. That mess caused City Ring Cor

Julian's brows creased with worry. "What about Noelle?""She has never repaid us with anything. It's only fair she helps the Shaw family now," Jade's biting words floated to Winter, who was surprised but kept listening.Julian was getting upset. "You've lost it! I told you we're not talking about this again. Do you want the whole world to find out?"Jade shrugged. "Why worry? I'm over it, and it's not even your problem." She added with a scowl, "We never should've brought that troublemaker home. Look how Dad's acting now."Julian cut her off, "That's enough! I need to think this over.""What's there to think about? Don't forget about the Yorks...""Enough. I've got to figure out how to bring Noelle back home!" Julian glared at Jade. "I know you don't like her, but do you think I do? Dad's no fool, and he knows what's going on."Jade stopped talking, though she was clearly upset. She could not help but take her anger out on Noelle.Winter lingered outside the door, listening.

Ava could not shake the feeling of injustice, believing that those who did not know the truth should not speak. Yet, she knew that when many voices joined together, the noise could be overwhelming, and things were rarely as simple as they seemed."Time to get back to work!""Alright," Ava replied, her energy drained. However, as she turned, she caught sight of Xavier, and her expression turned complex.Noelle caught sight of Xavier as well, and her eyebrows knitted together in a slight frown. Their relationship had changed so much that she hardly ever spent time with him anymore. Xavier, however, did not seem to realize that things were different now.Xavier walked over, his lips pressed tightly together. He was not happy when he saw Noelle's look. "Yesterday, you..."Noelle interrupted, looking up, "What? Is there something you need, Mr. Harris?"Xavier's brows were creased with worry. "Why didn't you come home last night? You're a girl, and you didn't come home all night. Don't
The Cherished Wife Chapter 157
Noelle had wanted to earn Xavier's affection through her own hard work, so their romantic relationship was a secret to almost everyone. She never imagined that a single mistake would turn into a weapon for Xavier and Winter to use against her.Only their families knew the truth about them, but to everyone else, it was a mystery.Winter, a celebrity in the spotlight, had an engagement party with Xavier that drew in hordes of media. The story that Noelle had come between Winter and Xavier seemed to be confirmed.Noelle did not know who had managed to keep the story quiet in the end, but she was sure she would be left with the blame.Her eyes darkened as she locked eyes with Xavier. "What's done is done, and I can't change the past. But please don't come looking for me from now on unless it's work-related, especially not for these insignificant things!""What's not important?" Xavier was puzzled. He and Noelle had been so tight before, and she used to say yes to everything. Now, she

"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

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."
