The Cherished Wife Chapter 1941
Seeing Savannah smiling so warmly at Joanna felt like a needle stabbing Liliana's heart. Her face turned pale, and after standing for so long, she realized her legs had gone stiff.No one inside the private room had noticed her, nor did they have any idea about the turmoil she was experiencing.Liliana felt as if she had lost her mind for even standing there, watching.She bit down hard on her lower lip, only snapping out of her trance when the sharp pain brought her back to reality.A bitter smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Before anyone inside could notice her, she turned and quickly walked away. However, her unsteady steps betrayed the chaos inside her.…Inside the room, Joanna sat across from the middle-aged couple, her hands clasped tightly together, clearly nervous."I had no idea… that you two were Sean's parents," she said shyly.Sean narrowed his eyes slightly at her words.Savannah studied Joanna and found herself liking her more and more."Sean, so you and

No parent disliked hearing their child being praised, and Savannah was no exception. She genuinely believed Sean was outstanding, so hearing Joanna's compliments only made her even more pleased. She found Joanna even more likable.From beginning to end, however, Sean, the person being praised, showed little reaction. The only reason he had come today was because Savannah had called him and insisted that he join them after finishing surgery.Sean had always been carefree and indifferent, but he cared deeply for his family—especially for Savannah, the woman Hayes had always cherished.Savannah had told him she was hosting a dinner for the person who had saved her life. If he did not come, he might as well stop calling her his mother.Since she had put it that way, even if Sean was unwilling, he still had to show up. However, he was slightly surprised to see that the guest of honor was Joanna.Sean was well aware of Joanna's feelings for him. The admiration in her eyes whenever she l

Liliana tugged at the corners of her lips, but her attempt at a smile felt painful. Raising a hand, she slapped herself hard, hoping to jolt herself awake.Her face burned with pain, and her stomach churned as if it were on fire. There was an unbearable discomfort spreading through her.She turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of cold water, and splashed it onto her face. The chilling sensation shocked her system, clearing some of the haze clouding her mind.Bracing herself against the sink, she stayed like that for a long moment before letting out a short, bitter laugh.The right side of her face still stung from the slap, but at least she felt more awake now.Liliana lingered in the restroom a while longer, waiting until she felt completely sober before staggering out.The moment she stepped outside, a strong smell of cigarette smoke filled her nose. She turned slightly and saw a man standing near the designated smoking area.He leaned casually against the wall, his long

Sean stared blankly at his own hand, still hovering in the air where he had grabbed Liliana's arm. His brows furrowed slightly as if he could not believe what he had just done.Even though Liliana had mentally prepared herself, seeing Sean's reaction still sent a faint pang through her chest. However, she quickly regained her composure, lowering her gaze to where his hand had held her arm.In a calm voice, she asked, "Mr. Smith, did you need something from me?"As soon as she spoke, Sean recoiled and pulled his hand back as if he had just touched something filthy.Liliana's expression darkened for a brief moment, but she quickly masked it. She continued to smile at Sean, waiting for him to say something.Sean was not sure what was wrong with him. It seemed that every time he ran into Liliana, something inside him shifted in an unfamiliar way.He had no idea why he had instinctively grabbed her just now. It had happened so naturally that by the time he realized what he was doing,

Peter? Mr. Smith?The difference in treatment was almost laughable. In the past, whenever they went out together, Liliana would always follow behind him and constantly chirp his name.Back then, she had been terrified of Peter. Now, she would rather go to Peter than to him if she needed help.Sean admitted to himself that at this moment, he felt something indescribable. On one hand, Liliana was finally doing exactly what he had asked. On the other, her damned obedience infuriated him.Sometimes, he wished she would not be so obedient. If only she could…Sean was suddenly startled by his own thoughts. His brows furrowed deeply as he stared at Liliana, his expression dark and unreadable.Liliana had no idea how to interact with him anymore. No matter what she said, he always seemed dissatisfied.She stood there, silently looking at him. Sean looked back at her."Sean?"It was Joanna's voice that finally broke the tense silence.Liliana did not know when Joanna had arrived or ho

Joanna's cheeks flushed slightly as she studied Sean's face. It was sculpted to perfection as if crafted by the hands of a divine artist.Not only had he been blessed with such striking features, but he was also exceptionally talented, capable, and charismatic.Joanna recalled the first time she had seen Sean at Vista University. Back then, he had not yet developed the calm maturity he exuded now, but his presence had already been overwhelming. From that moment, she had been unable to take her eyes off him.Now, after years of refinement, this man had only grown more irresistible.Joanna swore to herself that no matter what it took, she had to have Sean. Even if she had to use every trick in the book, she would make sure he belonged to her.She gazed at him with unconcealed adoration, her emotions laid bare for anyone to see. However, Joanna's affection was completely different from Liliana's.Liliana had also claimed to like him, but she had always been cautious. She would follo
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1
Autumn had painted Brookville in shades of gold and crimson when Noelle Shaw stepped off the plane. She grabbed her suitcase and walked out into the crisp air, a familiar sense of home wrapping around her.A whole year had passed since she left to pursue a corporate training program overseas, and now, she was back just in time.Her third anniversary with her boyfriend Xavier Harris was just days away, and she had been working nonstop to make it back early enough to surprise him.She hailed a cab and headed straight for Xavier's office. The moment she walked through the front doors, Alice, the receptionist, gave her a look of total shock. "Ms. Shaw? You’re back? Are you here for the CEO's engagement party?"Noelle's brow creased in confusion. "The CEO's engagement party? What are you talking about, Alice?""It's Mr. Harris's engagement party with your sister!""What?" Noelle's heart skipped a beat, and the happiness drained from her face. "Whose engagement party?"Alice seemed to
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2
Noelle bolted from the hotel, her previously defiant face now streaked with tears.Out of nowhere, a black Cayenne screeched to a halt, its tires screaming against the pavement. Caught off guard, she tumbled to the ground.The driver gulped, his eyes darting to the man in the back seat, "Sir... Sir?"The man in the back, unfazed by the nearby accident, merely glanced at the passenger seat beside him. "Ronald, go see what happened.""Right away, sir." Ronald was out of the car in a flash, checking the front for any damage.About six feet ahead of the car, a woman sat on the ground with her eyes wide open, looking totally freaked out. Her cheeks were streaked with tears, and she had obviously been crying. "Miss? Are you okay? Do you need a ride to the hospital?"Noelle was scared out of her wits. She just gazed at Ronald, lost in shock, until she finally managed to pull herself together and stand up. Without a word, she tried to sidestep him, eager to get away.Ronald was puzzled

Keith watched Liliana as he spoke. She was momentarily stunned before letting out a soft laugh. "And what exactly did she want to know?""Nothing much, really. She just asked about your family," Keith replied, hesitating for a moment as if worried she might be upset."I didn't say anything. I just thought I should let you know. Joanna doesn't seem very friendly."Liliana fell silent for a few seconds before responding calmly, "It's fine."Keith nodded but continued, "She asked if I knew who your older brother was. Liliana… do you have a brother?"Liliana stiffened slightly and pressed her fingers together before answering, "Yeah, I have an older brother. But we're only half-siblings, so we don't interact much."Keith accepted her explanation and didn't push further. "I don't trust Joanna. You should stay away from her."Liliana smiled. "I know."…After losing her job, Liliana continued her job hunt while occasionally attending classes. Time passed slowly in this routine.Eve

Liliana had been in the hospital for over a month. Since she was still a new employee at the company, they were not going to make any special accommodations for her just because of her illness. When she returned to work, the only news she received was that she had been let go.She had already prepared herself for this outcome, so when she heard the news, she remained relatively calm.After quickly packing up her belongings, she left the office. When Tania found out, she insisted on taking Liliana out that evening to "shake off the bad luck". In reality, however, it was just an excuse—Tania was simply looking for an opportunity to eat good food.Since Liliana had nothing else to do, she went grocery shopping in the afternoon. When she returned, she was surprised to see someone standing outside her door. She paused for a moment before smiling faintly."Keith, what are you doing here?"Keith scratched his head awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed. "Tania called me… She told me you

Charles noticed that Liliana was keeping her head down and remaining silent. His deep, contemplative eyes reflected a glimmer of thought as he tapped his knee and paused before speaking."I'll be heading to Capiton soon. While I'm away from Brookville, you can go to Sean if anything happens…""No need!" Liliana refused without hesitation. She was well aware of the gap between herself and Sean.Besides, even if Charles was not around, she could handle things on her own. There was no reason to seek Sean's help.Charles studied her closely as if trying to discern something from her expression, but Liliana remained tense and reserved.Narrowing his eyes slightly, Charles said, "Then go to Peter if you need anything. He's more reliable than Sean."Liliana wanted to refuse again, but seeing the subtle downturn of Charles' expression, she ultimately held back her rejection. "Alright, if something happens, I'll go to Peter."She wasn't particularly familiar with Peter, but given his con
