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?
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1724
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

Noelle bit her lip, looking confusedly at Charles, who tapped her on the head. "You don't think Kelly has feelings for Yves?"This time, Noelle took a serious look at what was happening and her brows knitted together in worry. "Yves hasn't sorted things out with the Hoffman family yet. I'm not comfortable trusting my sister to someone like that!"Charles gave Noelle an exasperated look. "Seriously, who's the older sister here and who's the younger one?"Noelle's cheeks flushed with a sudden warmth. "I'm just worried about my sister, you know? She's had a tough few years, and I've only just gotten to really know her. I want to spend more time with her, and then there's Seth...""Sigh!"Charles had definitely caught on to Noelle's little worries by then. Otherwise, he would not have brought her along today.Yves had heard the commotion outside, too. He turned his head to look at the doorway.Seeing Yves notice them, Charles did not hesitate. He opened the door wide, took Noelle's

"Gaining weight is good. It's actually better for the baby," Kelly reassured.The two women continued chatting intimately, completely disregarding the two men standing right there.Charles and Yves exchanged glances instinctively, though their thoughts could not have been more different.Charles was thinking about how painful childbirth must be. When it was time for Noelle to give birth, he was determined to stay by her side. He would endure every moment with her and welcome their children together.Once the babies were born, he would cherish Noelle even more than before—ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times more. He would give her nothing but the best in the world.Yves, however, was struck by remorse. When Kelly had endured all of this alone in a foreign country, where had he been? He was simply blinded by hatred.All these years, he had missed out on everything. Things like being by her side, and watching their child grow.Regret washed over him as he listened

Charles paused for a moment. "Technically speaking, you're also one of the Hoffmans."He then said while looking at Yves. "What are your thoughts on that?"Yves pressed his lips together slightly. "Honestly, the surname doesn't really matter to me. Since Grandma doesn't want me associated with the Hoffmans, I think staying with the York family is just fine."In the past, his vision had been clouded by hatred, but the truth was that he had never cared about the Hoffmans' wealth or inheritance.Charles could tell what Yves meant, but he still said, "Personally, I'd like you to come back and help at the Hoffmans."Yves was momentarily stunned. He narrowed his eyes slightly as if sizing up Charles.Charles smirked faintly. "Grandpa wants to know when you and Mrs. Elmore will have time to visit the Hoffmans."He paused before adding, "And what about Simon?"Yves fell silent for a moment before answering, "Let's wait until Kelly recovers. Then, if you still—""Kelly is Nelly's siste

Noelle only turned around to seriously study Kelly once Charles and Yves had walked away. "Kelly, you really scared us this time!"That day, when Kelly had said her godfather had invited her out, Noelle had felt that something was off. The timing had been too much of a coincidence. Fortunately, she had been extra cautious and stayed alert, or else she would have regretted it for the rest of her life.Seeing how genuinely worried Noelle was, Kelly reached out and held her hand. "Noelle, I'm fine now. There's no need to worry!"She met Noelle's eyes and reassured her, "I'm doing great!"However, Noelle's eyes turned red. "You're fine now, but what about before?""Noelle! Some things are just beyond our control." Kelly sighed and tried to comfort her. "I didn't let your husband tell you because I didn't want you to worry. And look at you now…"Crying too much isn't good for your health, and it's definitely not good for the baby!"In the past, Kelly could never have imagined having

Back then, Kelly had desperately wished for Charles to give her a promise and publicly acknowledge their relationship.Yet thinking about it now, if that person was Noelle, then everything suddenly made sense.Kelly chuckled. "I never thought Charles would actually be rejected by someone. I've never heard of that happening before!"There was amusement in her voice.Noelle scratched her head. "Actually, it was because things were complicated at the time. The Shaws were watching closely, and I didn't want Charlie to get dragged into it."When I married him, it wasn't because of those external factors. I didn't want our marriage to be tainted by all of that. So…""I understand. You wanted to make sure that Charles and the Hoffmans knew that you married him for who he is, not because of his background. You wanted it to be purely about love."Noelle nodded. "As time went on, things kept piling up, and Charlie and I grew even closer. After that, I didn't think about it anymore. Then I

The remaining risks had also been dealt with, thanks to Ronald, Raymond, and Lareal, who had sacrificed their rest time to finally clean everything up.Meanwhile, Charles was now leisurely sitting at home, drinking tea and keeping his wife company.The weather was nice today—warm, but not overly sunny. Charles had moved the chairs outside into the courtyard and carried Noelle over as well.She had objected, insisting that she could walk on her own.

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
