"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

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?"

"Come in and sit down!" Liliana said, already aware of the virus Tania and Bran were dealing with. "Are you and Bran okay?"Tania nodded. "The doctor downstairs, Ms. Holt, is really good!"Hearing that, Liliana felt relieved. "That's great to hear!""Liliana," Tania said, reaching out to hold her hand. "It's been so many years. Can't you let it go?"Liliana froze, her fingers twitching, trying to slip away, but Tania held on. "Liliana, we're friends, remember?"Liliana gave a shy smile, but she seemed a bit stuck. "I know, I actually knew why you came up here, but Tania, I'm not like you and Peter. Some things just can't be helped. You two have love and your little one, but Sean and I, we have nothing, not even hard feelings—I don't feel anything for him anymore!"Tania could not help but glance at Liliana and her calm face. It looked like she did not care one bit.Tania tried to see if Liliana's face would tell her anything, but Liliana just looked back at her. After a while, T

Liliana's fingers trembled slightly. "No, it's probably just that I felt sorry for him."Outside the door, Sean stood still. His dark eyes held a trace of pain, but after a long pause, he clenched his fists and turned away.Sean made a call to Yankel. "I have news about Samara."…Downstairs, the atmosphere was lively. The house was full of people today, and the cook was busy in the kitchen, working at full capacity. Feeling bored—and a little hungry—Noelle suddenly had a craving for stuffed pastry pockets.Going out at this hour just to buy them seemed like a hassle, but fortunately, there was flour at home. Noelle suggested they make them from scratch.For Linda, it was rare to see so many people gathered at the Holt residence, and she seemed thrilled. "Stuffed pastry pockets? What are those?"She leaned in closer to Noelle, catching the warm, inviting scent clinging to her. Unable to resist, she inched even nearer. "Noelle, are they good?""They're delicious," Noelle answere

"You knew he was the real villain all along, so you killed him!""Haha!" Fred's eyes blazed with fury. "He had it coming. Without him, I'd be the top dog of the Hoffman family. Mateo and Henry wouldn't stand a chance. I'll let you in on a secret—I did want to go back to the Hoffmans, but your grandma said no. That old man from the Yorks told me I had to wait until he kicked the bucket to get my revenge. But he was the killer, so I took care of him myself. I bet your grandpa would thank me if he could see me now!""You're a lost cause, and I'm not going to help you mess with Charles or the Hoffmans for any longer!" Yves glared at Fred. "And do you really think you can take on Charles without my help?"Charles gutted York Group in just two weeks. Charles wiped out every single company you had and all the ones I owned. You can't possibly be clueless about that, right?""Zip it!" Fred's face darkened, a deadly look in his eyes as he grabbed Kelly by the throat. "If you don't want him d

Fred squinted. "Are you certain?""Yes! He's alone. No one's with him!""Keep a sharp eye on him!"Following his memory, Yves quickly reached Edward's gravestone. It was clear that no one had taken care of it for a long time, but there were fresh marks on the ground and flattened grass in front of it.Yves glanced around. "Come out. I'm here!"Fred caught Seth in a swift move, and Yoan pulled Kelly out.Seeing the blood on Kelly's mouth, Yves's eyes briefly narrowed in shock before returning to normal.He balled his fists, his gaze fixed on Fred. "I didn't think you'd still be alive!""Disappointed I'm not dead?" Fred held Seth tight. "Looks like this mother and son mean a lot to you!""Enough talk. You didn't bring me here just for them!" Yves said calmly as Fred studied his face."After all these years, is this how you greet your own father? How can you be so unfeeling?""My father died a long time ago." Yves's voice was frigid as he stared at Fred. "What do you really wan

"Enough!"Fred kicked Kelly, and she fell to the ground, overwhelmed. She was already hurt, and Fred's kick made her cough up blood."Mommy!"Seth was accidentally knocked down too, but he quickly scrambled to his feet. "Mom, Mom!"You meanie!"Seth stood up, his face red with anger. "You can't bully my mom!" In a flash, he dashed forward, grabbed the man's leg, and bit down as hard as he could.Fred had not expected Seth to bite him. He kicked angrily again, sending Seth flying."Seth!" Kelly cried out. "Fred, how could you? Seth's just a little boy!"Kelly pushed through her pain, rushed to Seth, and burst into tears. "It's okay, Seth. It doesn't hurt. Don't cry. I'm fine!" She regretted saying those things that had made Fred so angry.Fred was nothing like Yves. Yves would never hit her or a child, but Fred was cruel and heartless.Kelly cried as she comforted Seth, who was sobbing from the pain. However, he bravely got up, hugged his mom, and started comforting her instea

Yoan carried Seth to Kelly, who quickly knelt down. "Don't be scared, Seth. I'm right here!""Mommy!" Seth cried out, looking at Kelly with big, sad eyes. "Why did Godfather kidnap us? Is he a bad man?"Seth was too little to understand what was going on. All he knew was that he and Kelly had been kidnapped and that Kelly was tied up, which made him cry even harder.Kelly's heart was heavy as she watched Seth cry. She felt helpless but kept comforting him again and again, hoping that Charles and the others would realize something was wrong.She was thankful that Noelle had been clever enough to hide a tracker in her hair before she left home.Yoan had searched her thoroughly at the villa, discarding all her communication devices. The only thing he had not touched was her hair.Her hair was in a ponytail today, with the tiny tracker concealed within the band.Seeing Seth's sad little face, Kelly could only keep reassuring him. "Seth, be brave. I'm here, and I'll stay with you. If

"Do you think I'd still believe you?" Kelly cut Fred off. "Was everything a lie from the start? Did you get close to me and help me just so you could use me and Seth as pawns one day?""You're very smart!""No, I'm not smart at all. If I were, I wouldn't have agreed to meet you today. If I were smart, I wouldn't have brought Seth to see you!" Kelly was furious. She could not believe that Fred, whom she thought was a good person, was actually Yves's real dad. "Yves turned into a killer because of you, right? How could you be so heartless?"“Heartless? You think you know what heartless is?" Fred scoffed. "If he hadn't stepped in, Charles would never have let him off the hook. That's real heartlessness!""You're making things up. He could've lived in a world without hate and had a safe and quiet life. He would be nothing like he is now, losing his innocence and hurting people left and right!" Kelly stared down Fred, her eyebrows knitted together in anger. "Why did you bring me here? A

Yves and Andrew rode together in the car. As soon as they were seated, Andrew passed a cell phone to Yves. "Mr. Hoffman is on the line!"Yves picked up the call, and Charles's voice came through. "Should I call you Jacob or Yves?"With a scoff, Yves replied, "You choose!"Charles put the phone down and listened to Yves's crisp voice through his earpiece, not bothered at all. "Did you dump your stocks because you're ready to stop fighting?"Yves's finger twitched, but he kept silent. Charles laughed softly, his eyes on the tracker's screen. "Fred won't agree, will he? His real target isn't me—it's the whole Hoffman family. Since you won't act, is he coming himself?""You're smart!" Yves said with a sneer. "But you're still caught in his game, aren't you?""Why did you stop? Is it because of Kelly? Or did you stumble upon the truth?"Yves's face went pale. "How long have you known?" He had only learned the truth recently, but Charles seemed to be in the know as well."It doesn’t
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1706
The call ended before Yves could try to find out where it came from. The phone he had was not high-tech enough to track down Kelly's exact location."Who's there?"Yves looked up quickly and saw some shadows nearby. "Come out!"Andrew and a bunch of people stepped out of the shadows. "Mr. Yves Hoffman, you're really on your toes!"Andrew and his friends had been tailing Yves, curious about his intentions. They were not sure if Yves had anything to do with Kelly's disappearance. However, just minutes before, Charles had figured out that Yves was not the kidnapper, which was why Andrew's group had to come out of hiding."Are you one of Charles's guys?" Yves asked, recognizing the man who was always with Charles like a trusted officer."Andrew!" Andrew said, introducing himself. "Are you looking for Ms. Anderson too, Mr. Yves?""It wasn't you?""Mr. Yves, you must be joking. Ms. Anderson is our lady's sister. We wouldn't be involved in such a thing!" Andrew explained, pulling out

"Our team has been keeping a close eye on Yves, but he's been holed up in a villa on some island and hasn't shown his face for ages. His crew's been quiet too. Mr. Hoffman, do you think Yves could be behind this?"However, if Yves was the culprit, he would not still be lounging on that island."Send some people to the island to check it out." If not Yves, then who could it be?Charles was stumped. He could not imagine who else would target them like that.Ronald hurried off to follow orders, and Charles pulled out his phone to call Simon. "How's York Group doing?""It’s all quiet on the front, and there’s no trouble. What's going on?" Simon was puzzled by Charles's call.Charles paused for a moment before dropping the bombshell. "Kelly might have been kidnapped!""What?" Simon's eyes narrowed. "My older brother? No way. He has no reason to take Kelly away. It wouldn't do him any good!""Mr. Hoffman!"Ronald burst through the door without even knocking. "Yves is on the move! Ou

Meanwhile, Kelly entered the address her godfather had given her into the GPS. It led her to a spot right in the heart of downtown, and she drove straight there.Kelly stepped out of the car and helped Seth with his seatbelt before lifting him out. "Come on, Seth. We're going to visit Grandpa today!""Grandpa? Is Grandpa back?" Seth clearly remembered the man. Kelly nodded with a smile. "Yes, the one who always gives you sweet treats!"First, Kelly and Seth stopped at the mall to pick up some presents. Then, they headed to the address her godfather had given her.Arriving at a fancy apartment complex, Kelly checked in with security before going up. She rang the doorbell and was quickly greeted with the sound of the door unlocking. "Kelly, is that you?""Yes, Godfather!" Kelly greeted the man with a warm smile. "It's been so long, Godfather. Have you been well?""Very well. Come in and have a seat!"The old man welcomed Kelly inside. His gaze rested on her as he nodded in approva
