Sean and the others were trailing behind and could not believe how openly Charles and Noelle were showing their love for each other. They had just gotten home, and there they were, making everyone feel like extras in their romance movie. Sean definitely was not happy about it.Charles squinted his eyes. "Not a fan, are you?"If you don't like it, there's the door!" Charles pointed towards the exit."Seriously, Charles, you're ditching us after we helped you?" Charles raised an eyebrow and curled his lips into a smirk. "As long as you know!""You..." Sean was taken aback, his face turning sour. "I'm not going to sink to your level," he said, trying to look innocent as he turned to Noelle. "You must be tired, Noelle. Take a seat!"Sean smiled and moved to sit by Noelle, but Charles stepped in and pushed Sean aside. "Go sit over there!"Sean shot Charles a fierce glare but stomped away heavily. "Charles, I'm your so-called brother-in-law, you know. Is this really how you're going
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1668
Kelly followed the housekeeper up the stairs to her room, which was already neat and tidy, with every daily necessity in place. There was nothing missing. Still, the housekeeper could not help but ask, "Ms. Anderson, is there anything else you need? I can go get it right away.""No, thank you."Kelly opened the wardrobe door and found it filled with clothes—all brand new, with the tags still attached.The servant quickly explained, "Mr. Hoffman and Mrs. Hoffman decided to return on short notice, so things here haven't been fully organized yet. These clothes were delivered from the store at the last minute and tailored to your size, Ms. Anderson. If you don't like them, we can have them exchanged!""There's no need. I love them!" Kelly glanced at the clothes. They were almost all from brands under the Collosus Group, each one a custom design. Those were the kind of pieces most people might not even be able to buy, and then her entire wardrobe was full of them. Naturally, Kelly had n

"I got it!" Noelle said, trying to grab the orange from Charles. However, he just signaled for her to open her mouth and fed her another piece."Wow, they're like a dream couple," Linda said. She pulled out her phone, took a picture of Charles and Noelle, and sent it to their Messenger group.Linda had joined their group chat before and fit right in. As soon as she posted the picture, everyone started commenting.Sean wrote: [Not again. You're making us all jealous!]Peter added: [That's just showing off!]Steven just sent: [...]Tania jumped in, too: [Honey, let's get them back!]Bran complained: [Why are you being so mean to a kid?]Noelle saw Charles's phone light up with notifications. She picked it up, unlocked it, and widened her eyes in surprise.Noelle gave Charles a quick side-eye, and he looked back at her, confused. "What's up?"She hesitated for a moment, then handed her phone over to Charles.Charles barely glanced at the screen before he chucked the phone aside
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1670
Kelly had come back before, but she was covered in scars. She was worried that Seth would be scared if he saw them, so she had been holding back, trying not to think about her son. However, Seth was her child. How could she not think about him?Charles reassured her, "There's plenty of room here, so don't worry!"Kelly let out a relieved breath. "Thank you so much, brother-in-law!""Kelly, we're family. There's no need for thanks!" Noelle chimed in. She knew Kelly might still be a bit worried about old issues, but Noelle thought that since everything was out in the open then, Kelly did not have to feel that way. "What are you scared of? He's not a monster. If he ever tries to bother you, I'll show him the door!"Charles quirked an eyebrow. "Oh?"His eyes twinkled with mischief, but Noelle just tilted her head up, boldly staring back at Charles. "Did I say something wrong?"Charles let out a resigned chuckle and gently patted Noelle's head. "No, you're absolutely right."Noelle b

Because Seth came to visit, Kelly felt a huge relief. It was like a heavy stone that had been sitting on her heart was finally gone, and now she was really relaxed.Holding Seth, she walked up to Charles and Noelle with a big smile. "Looks like Seth and I will be staying here for a while.""Of course," Noelle said with a gentle smile. She reached out to touch Seth's soft cheek, which she really liked. “Seth, do you remember who I am?""Aunt!" Seth blinked his big, cute eyes at Noelle. She felt her heart just melt. "Yes, Seth. You're such a good boy. So, you'll live here with Mommy at my house, okay?""Okay!" Seth gave her a shy smile. "I like aunt too!" Then he glanced at Charles, a bit puzzled.Noelle laughed again. "This is my husband. You can call him Uncle Charles."Seth nodded, not quite sure what that meant, but he tried anyway. "Uncle Charles!""Right!"Charles nodded back. "Good job, Seth!""Oh, Kelly, he's so adorable! Can I hold him?"Linda was still a kid herself,

Noelle had been sitting on the couch with her big belly, barely moving. Her eyes were tenderly fixed on the two little boys playing.Kelly, seeing that, chuckled. "At first, I thought having a child was just a big hassle. However, after all Seth and I have been through, I see him as a precious gift."Kelly's eyes twinkled as she spoke. Noelle nodded. "Seth and Bran are both so adorable.""Yes!" Tania chimed in. "However, you're doing much better now. My brother is always by your side, no matter where you are, he just can't stand to be away from you." Tania glanced at Kelly. "I've been in a similar boat before. Raising a child on your own is tough."The conversation was light and full of laughter until Tania's words made Peter come to a halt.He turned his head, a complex look in his eyes as he looked towards Tania.Charles and Sean stopped in their tracks. They had sharp eyes and ears from years of living in a challenging environment, so they overheard Tania and Kelly's conversat

Tania was thrilled to see Liliana after so long. She grabbed her hand, and they started gabbing. "You look thinner. And why are you home so late?""The office has been crazy busy, so I’ve had lots of late nights!" Liliana was much calmer those days than she had been years before.Tania could tell that Liliana had changed a lot since they were younger. She knew about the issues between Liliana and Sean too. However, back in those days, Tania had her own problems to deal with, so she did not really know what happened to Liliana.Then, looking at Liliana, Tania could not help but feel sad.Sean's eyes grew darker. He was about to shut the door when someone else came in. "Mr. Fischer? What brings you here?"Steven stared at Sean like he was looking at someone who did not make sense. "Why can't I be here?"Sean, already in a sour mood, raised an eyebrow. "Of course, you can come. This is Charles's place, after all. You can do as you like!"Steven was taken aback. He did not get why S

The living room was bustling with people. Even though Liliana was a bit surprised to see Sean there, she kept her cool, just like Charles said she would. She was not the type to make a scene in front of a crowd, but she was not about to go out of her way to please them either.Tania watched and felt a pang of sympathy.She shot Noelle a knowing look, and Noelle sighed. They both wanted to help, but it was not really their place. It was up to Liliana."I'm going to head upstairs," Liliana announced, not keen on sticking around. "I'm feeling pretty tired!""Liliana!" Tania called out, a bit frustrated by her friend's retreat. As Liliana climbed the stairs, Tania got up too. "You all keep talking. I'm going to see how Liliana is doing. We're friends, practically sisters."Tania glanced at Sean as she spoke. His face was dark with a mix of emotions, clearly upset by Liliana's reaction.Peter approached and gave Sean a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "There's always tomorrow, right?"

Kelly might not have realized her voice was shaking. "Yves, if you can't do it, don't make promises so easily!" She was scared, really scared. Promises about a future that might not happen were the scariest kind.She had thought that with Fred's death, Yves's troubles with Charles and the Hoffman family would be over. However, Kelly did not really understand what this 'over' meant or what it implied.Kelly was scared that seeing him then might mean she would not see him again.Yves was taken aback by Kelly's words. He had been waiting for days, waiting for her to say something, but he had not expected her to say that.Kelly seemed to catch herself getting too emotional. She calmed down and looked away from Yves. "Where's Seth?""He's at Phoenix Tree Residence with Bran. They seem to really like each other!"When Yves talked about Seth, his eyes twinkled with a smile. Kelly glanced over and caught the happy look on Yves's face. She was a little surprised at first, but then it made

Kelly gazed up at Yves. "There are caregivers, doctors, and nurses here. Even the servants will come!" She had told Yves clearly that he was not needed there, that he had no role to play.Yves understood what Kelly meant, but he was not upset. He just smiled gently at her. "You're still sick, and I don't trust them to look after you!"Kelly was at a loss for words and turned her head away, too frustrated to look at Yves.A shadow of sadness passed through Yves' eyes, but he quickly shook it off. "Dear, once you're better, you can tell me to leave."Kelly faced him again. "Don't you have things to do? What about the Yorks? The Hoffmans? How will you explain to the Yorks? How will you deal with the Hoffmans?" She could not understand. Did Yves no longer care about the things he used to chase? "Fred was your real dad. He's gone. Don't you care at all? Haven't you ever wondered why he was so into Hoffman's wealth, and you're part of the Hoffmans too, you...""Are you worried about me?

Charles opened the car door and stepped out first. Andrew, who had been driving, just shook his head. He finally understood why Ronald was always grumbling about not wanting to hang out with Charles, who was notorious for making single guys feel left out with his over-the-top romantic gestures. Andrew, a straightforward guy, had not really grasped what Ronald meant until then.Charles was really laying it on thick, showing off so much that Andrew felt like the underdog being teased.Charles reached out a hand to Noelle. "Come on out!"Taking her time, Noelle reached back. Charles gently took her hand and helped her out of the car, telling her to watch her step as if she were the most precious thing in the world.Andrew thought that the strong and respected image Charles had in front of everyone had crumbled. He could never look at Charles's serious face the same way again. Charles, who was always so serious and never joked, and even seemed a bit scary and super strict, could not

Charles’ heart was pounding in a wild rhythm he could not control. He had always been the cool, collected type, way more grown-up than other kids his age. He was the guy who always kept his cool.However, when he saw Noelle, all that cool just fell apart.Then, whoops! She slipped and came tumbling down, right into his arms.Nobody knew that from that moment, Noelle had a special place in Charles's heart.Watching Noelle, nearly asleep, Charles chuckled to himself but did not say a word. He just hugged her a little tighter.He had thought his crush would fade away when he left, but she kept popping up in his dreams. Every "first" in his life seemed to circle back to her. Sometimes, he wondered if his crush had turned into something more.Coming back, he learned she had a boyfriend and did not even remember him.He figured that love story was over.However, there he was, hiding in the shadows, watching her, trying to stop thinking about her. However, no matter how hard he tried,

Charles let out a sigh. "What do you think?"He guessed that Noelle must have realized it already—they had known each other for quite some time.He used to be Sebastian's student, and Noelle would often hang out at Sebastian's place back then. There was no way she would not recognize himself.Noelle scrunched her brow. "I know, you've told me before!" Annoyed, she tapped her forehead. "Ugh, why can't I remember anything?" She definitely had met Charles before, and they must have been really close. Otherwise, Charles would not look at her in such a special way.Even when she thought they were meeting for the first time and before they were close, the way Charles looked at her was just different."Okay, okay!" Charles said, catching Noelle's hand as she tapped her head. "You don't want to knock yourself silly, do you?""You're the silly one!" Noelle snorted with a mix of pride and shyness. "And anyway, even if I were silly, I'd still be your wife. What's it to you? You wouldn't loo

Charles really did not want Noelle to find out that Kelly was hurt, but Noelle ended up finding out anyway.Noelle, who was expecting, was set on seeing Kelly in the hospital. Charles had no choice but to go along with it. To be safe, he went with her and even brought a bunch of bodyguards. He was super careful, treating Noelle like she could not do anything on her own.Noelle thought Charles was going a bit overboard, but she did not say anything. She was just glad Charles was letting her see Kelly and did not want to push her luck by asking for more.However, Noelle was really curious about Yves. "So, you're saying Yves is actually Jacob, the guy my sister is into? Seth's real dad? Have you guys worked out all your stuff? Other than the virus we've got, is there nothing else to worry about?"Over the last few days, Noelle had started to figure things out. She had been asking around, getting little pieces of the story from Liliana and Tania. She found out that Kelly was hurt, whic

"I guess I'll go get busy then!" Ronald could not stand to look at Charles's face any longer.They had just survived a terrifying ordeal, yet Charles seemed calm, as if nothing had happened. How could he be so chill?Someone was still in the OR fighting for their life, and they had not even started to deal with what came next. There was Charles, acting all serious, saying he was busy. Busy with what? The ones running around like crazy were them, his underlings, right?Of course, Ronald kept those thoughts to himself in front of Charles.Once Ronald was gone, Charles relaxed his gaze. Shortly after, Sean and Linda emerged from the OR, pushing Kelly out too.Yves and Charles both stood up. "How did it go?" they asked.Sean removed his mask, glanced at Charles, then turned to Yves. "The patient is safe for now, but still under anesthesia. It'll be a few hours before they wake up. Let's get them to a room."With a pat on Charles's shoulder, Sean added, "You know, Charles, it wasn't

Yves looked like he had remembered something important. "But that day, she gave Noelle the necklace. I thought she got Noelle mixed up with Kelly at first. I did talk to Grandma about Kelly when we were dating, and I even showed her a picture!"Charles squinted. "You really love and respect your grandma."Yves nodded. "She's always been so calm and stayed out of trouble. I didn't get it before, but now I do. When she gave that bracelet to Noelle, she was actually giving it back to the Hoffmans. She was also telling me it wasn't mine to want.""Aren't you part of the Hoffman family too?" Charles had to admit he had always looked up to Yves. When he first met him, back when Yves went by the name Jacob, he was someone with real guts.Yves just smiled. "To be honest, I've never cared about the Hoffman family's business. I grew up carrying a grudge, and it's always been what drove me. But now, when I think about it, what does any of that have to do with me? My grandpa passed away before

In the operating room, Linda and Sean were working hard to save Kelly. The bullet had missed her vital organs and hit her arm, but she was still in a lot of pain.Kelly was out cold from the anesthesia. Linda was a great doctor, but surgery was not her strong suit unlike Sean. She was there to help out wherever she could.Linda realized she still had a lot to learn. She watched Sean carefully operate on Kelly, making a big cut in her arm to get the bullet out.The surgery was not too complicated, but they had to be extra careful because Kelly was so well-known. Any mistakes would be a big deal, which was why Sean was in charge.Normally, Sean would not fuss over a gunshot wound that was not life-threatening, especially if it was on a man. However, Kelly was different.The surgery was quick, and before long, Kelly was wheeled out of the room. She was still knocked out, probably from losing too much blood and the anesthesia.Outside the surgery room, Charles and Yves, along with th
