The Cherished Wife Chapter 216
Noelle was supposed to visit Samuel in the hospital after they finished breakfast. Mr. Thompson had called with good news: Samuel was awake. Noelle was in a hurry to see him, but Charles gently pulled her back. "Hold on!"Confused, Noelle asked, "What is it?""Let's go upstairs first," Charles said, putting away the dishes. He led Noelle to his study and handed her the contract from the day before. "This is yours. Go ahead and sign it."Noelle hesitated. "Didn't I say I'd swap shares with you once mine were sorted?""Do you think you'll run into your parents on the way to see your grandpa?" Charles asked, getting right to the heart of the matter. Noelle's face tensed up a bit. She nodded, her smile tinged with a touch of sadness. "I suddenly feel like I'm not doing so great at this whole ‘life’ thing."Charles gave her a reassuring grin. "You're making a smart move right now. Go ahead and sign it!" He wanted to make sure she got the best, even if she did not seem to care much abou

Noelle's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a mix of embarrassment and happiness. She tried to push Charles away, but he just would not let go. His kiss was gentle, and he traced her lips slowly, deepening it further.It was the gentlest kiss Noelle had ever felt, and for the first time, she realized that kissing could be something truly amazing.It was like Charles was magical. He made her relax and start to kiss him back. Still, he was definitely leading the way. Noelle got lost in his sweet kisses, and it was a long while before they could bring themselves to stop.Noelle's face felt warm, and she held Charles's arms, her cheeks red as he nibbled on her lip.Charles looked down into her pretty eyes, hidden beneath her long lashes. He softly touched her cheek, lifted her chin, and gently bumped foreheads with her. "Nelly, what do we do now?""What?" Noelle was confused.Charles held her chin gently and kissed her again. This time, Noelle was a bit surprised, but she was ready.

"Oh, I'm not the best with these things. I guess you'll be responsible for tying my ties from now on!" Charles said.Noelle paused. Was there a hint of joy in his voice?The thought of tying his tie every day made her feel warm inside, so she did not object. "But I'll need a little something for my trouble!""How about I make you breakfast every morning to make up for it?" Charles suggested with a light laugh, enjoying their playful banter. He pulled her close and planted a kiss on the corner of her mouth. "See you tonight!""See you tonight!" Noelle almost added something more, but she then thought better of it. She decided to keep quiet and save the surprise for Charles when she saw him later that evening.They walked downstairs together, where Ronald was already outside waiting for them. When he saw Charles and Noelle, he quickly stood up straight and greeted them, "Good morning, Mr. Hoffman, Madam."Charles nodded and handed Ronald some papers they had signed. "Please take ca
The Cherished Wife Chapter 219
Noelle rushed to the hospital and found Samuel awake. The doctors had checked him over and said he was stable, so he was resting in a regular ward now.Samuel had been so angry that he had a stroke. When he finally woke up in the hospital, the only person he wanted to see was his granddaughter Noelle. The doctor remembered Noelle from the day of the surgery and agreed to Samuel's wish.Even the Shaw family could not visit Samuel without his permission. The doctors were worried about him suffering another stroke because he was old and had been so sick.Jade was really mad outside the hospital room, saying she would sue the hospital for what they were doing. Julian sat quietly, but inside, he was hurt. He was Samuel's son, yet his dad did not ask for him first.Winter was bundled up and wearing glasses, trying not to be seen. She was already in a lot of trouble, and she did not need more problems. She was worried she would lose everything. Jade's loud complaining was getting on her n

"Grandpa!" Noelle set her things aside and rushed over. Seeing how frail Samuel looked, tears welled up in her eyes. "I'm sorry. I got here late.""Don't be silly, my dear," Samuel said, taking Noelle's hand in his. Noelle squeezed his hand. "Grandpa, are you feeling any better?""I'm doing quite well," Samuel replied, though it seemed hard for him to speak. He glanced outside. Noelle nodded. "Everyone's waiting outside. Grandpa, they found out you gave me the shares!" Noelle said. "Did Mom argue with you about it?""I saw it coming." Samuel shook his head. "I've been expecting it, but I'm not as strong as I used to be," he sighed. "Noelle, I gave you the shares, so I won't take them back. I know they'll give you a hard time, but I can't do much about it. I'm getting old, and one day I'll be gone. If I don't give them to you, they might end up with strangers, and then our City Ring Corp. won't belong to the Shaw family anymore. You understand, right?"Noelle stopped talking, her fi
The Cherished Wife Chapter 221
Samuel sounded startled again as he asked, “Royal Star Entertainment?” Samuel was not in the entertainment industry, but he had heard of Charles’ name. Charles was involved in plenty of industries, so he was not unfamiliar with Royal Star Entertainment. However, he had never imagined Charles would go to this extent for Noelle. Finally, Samuel felt the stress that had been weighing him down recently lifting off his shoulders. He patted Noelle’s hand as he smiled in relief. “Alright, my dear child. I always knew you’d be able to find someone who treated you much better than that detestable man before.” “I did, Grandpa. He’s really good to me,” Noelle said as she smiled shyly. “Grandpa, once you’re all better, shall I arrange a meeting so you guys can get to know each other officially?” “Of course!” Samuel was delighted to hear his granddaughter willingly offering to introduce his grandson-in-law to him. He suddenly felt like there was nothing wrong with his health anymore, and he
The Cherished Wife Chapter 222
Noelle continued talking to Samuel, but he soon fell asleep because of his frail health. She pulled a blanket over him and gazed at him for a while before taking her purse and leaving the room. Both Julian and Jade were still outside when she left the room. Upon seeing her, Jade hurried over and asked, “What did your grandfather tell you? Did you talk to him about the shares?” Jade grabbed Noelle by the arm and shook it violently. “Come on! Say something. Has he agreed to transfer ownership of the stocks to your sister?” “Let me go!” If Noelle had harbored any hope for Jade to eventually start treating her better, she could admit now that she had been a blind fool. Jade’s intentions were obvious. She could not care less about Noelle or about Grandpa’s health. All she wanted was the shares. “Grandpa is still unwell, yet all you care about are those shares and not his health.” Noelle gritted her teeth. “I’ve already told you that I won’t help you with that. It’s up to Grandpa h
The Cherished Wife Chapter 223
Noelle began laughing all of a sudden. She gazed coldly at Jade as she said, “You guys should just give up. I’ll never let you guys have ownership over these shares!” “Does that mean you really do own them now?” Winter caught the point Noelle was trying to make, and a sinister look settled across her features as her hatred intensified. She had not expected that old geezer to actually give Noelle, that b*tch, ownership over those shares. How could that be allowed? If Noelle owned shares in City Ring Corp., it would mean she had a voice within the organization. If that were the case, Noelle would take away everything that rightfully belonged to her.Winter glanced at Xavier, who had remained silent all this while, as she gritted her teeth and curled her hands into fists. However, she soon drew in a deep breath and smiled as she turned to Noelle and said, “Noelle, I don’t think you have much use for those shares anyway, right? How about I buy them from you? What do you think?”

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2126
Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through

"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w

"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
