Noelle turned away without hesitating and drove off. She had never imagined Xavier would go this far and pull such disgusting moves. How dare he come buttering her up now that he knew she was a shareholder of City Ring Corp? Did he really think she was an idiot he could summon as he pleased?She had not reached the point where she had that little self-respect!Winter stood in a corner and watched the exchange between Xavier and Noelle. Her hands were gripping the wall tightly as she gritted her teeth and glared at Noelle until she finally left. For a moment, Winter wished to herself that the wall in her grasp was actually Noelle so that she could strangle her to death. Why? Why were both her paternal and maternal grandfathers so nice to that bitch? Her paternal grandfather had even transferred ownership of his shares to Noelle! As for Xavier… Well, she had always known he had only gotten together with her because he had his eyes set on the shares she owned. However, she did

What did Noelle have that would make them equals? She was nothing more than a mere employee at Frotconn. “Oh, that’s right, Xavier,” Winter said as she chewed on her lip. “Given how tense my relationship with Noelle is, do you think it’ll bring any harm to Frotconn if she continues working there?” An odd look appeared on Xavier’s face. He had not even considered this problem. However, it seemed tough to have Noelle fired from Frotconn when she had not done anything wrong. “What are you thinking about, Xavier?” Winter asked as she shook Xavier’s shoulder lightly. “Do you think I’m being too harsh on Noelle?” “No, don’t overthink things!” Xavier began thinking about what Winter had just brought up. An ugly look settled across his features when he realized Frotconn seemed to be experiencing a decline in orders recently. “You’re right. I must discuss this with my father. Given how much Noelle hates me, I don’t think it would be good for Frotconn if she continues working there!”

Noelle saw Charles standing in front of the closet with a look that signaled he was deep in thought. She bit down on her lip as she walked over hesitantly. “I… I was thinking that since we’ve… So, I decided to bring your clothes over. Are you mad?” Noelle snuck a careful look at Charles’ face, observing the changes in his expression. She was worried Charles might get mad at what she had done. Charles grinned, a warm and fuzzy feeling washing over him as he gazed at Noelle. He reached out to ruffle her hair before he pulled her into his arms. “Silly girl, why would I be mad? I’m absolutely delighted!”He had not expected her to have that sort of self-awareness and had never imagined she would be this proactive. How could he get mad at that?Upon hearing what Charles said, Noelle relaxed and rested her head against his chest. “Why are you back home this early today?” “I missed you!” His low voice rang out as he reached up to ruffle Noelle’s soft hair. There was a sparkle in the d

“What do you plan on doing?” Charles asked, a slight frown creeping across his face. “Do you need my help?” “Not yet,” Noelle said as she shook her head. She did not want to sit back and do nothing while Charles took care of everything for her. “I’ve already told them that I won’t pose a threat to them as long as they don’t do anything funny with the shares they now hold. If they try getting up to any funny business, I’ll use the power I hold from the shares I currently own to assert dominance over them!” Charles pursed his lips together as Noelle gazed at him nervously. “What’s wrong? Have I said something wrong?” “No, no. You’re doing things right.” He just did not want Noelle to get involved so soon. The Shaw family did not pose a massive threat, but at the end of the day, they were Noelle’s parents, and he wanted to delay the ruthless treatment for as long as possible. “But the shares you own now aren’t enough for you to assert dominance over them yet. It'll merely allo

Noelle nestled herself against Charles’ back as if she were a kitten. “I’ll take good care of you, and I’ll always be on your side!” Charles grinned. There was a warm and loving look in the depths of his eyes that Noelle could not see. “Alright. I’ll always be on your side too. But, Mrs. Hoffman, I don’t think I’ll be able to finish washing these dishes by tonight if you continue hugging me!” Charles said teasingly with a grin on his face. Noelle immediately let go of him and jumped away from him upon hearing that. She maintained a distance between them. A blush crept across her face as she said, “Alright, go ahead and clean up, then. I’ll go watch some TV!” Noelle hurried into the living room. Charles grinned when he turned and saw her escaping the kitchen. Noelle’s heart was racing. It was her first time making the first move, and she was still in disbelief. After all, she had never been the one to make the first move in the years she and Charles had known each other.As f

His kiss was gentle, carrying a tender affection that left Noelle bewildered. She gazed at him through half-closed eyes, her hands cradling his cheeks while her fingers combed through his hair. She began to kiss him back. He took the lead, guiding her deeper into the embrace and drawing her further into the moment.They kissed passionately, losing track of time until Charles finally pulled away. Noelle exhaled slowly, trying to catch her breath. Charles lifted her gently and held her close, his forehead resting against hers. "Does it still hurt?" he asked softly.Noelle was taken aback, and it took her a moment to respond. She then shook her head shyly. "No, it doesn't hurt anymore."He was very gentle last night. She recalled Rowena telling her that a woman's first time could be very painful, but for her, the pain had only been brief. Very soon, she was lost in the sensations he brought her.Just thinking about it now made Noelle blush. She tugged at his shirt. "Why did you even
The Cherished Wife Chapter 232
This feeling was strange. Noelle even felt a tremor in her heart. Even though she wanted to push Charles away, when she looked into his deep, dark eyes, it was as if she was drawn into them. She was gently carried along by the waves of passion.Her hands clung to his shoulders as she bit down on her lip, her fingers digging into Charles' arms. It was only after a long while that she felt it come to an end.Noelle was breathing heavily, completely exhausted. She lay atop Charles, her eyes half-lidded as she glared at him. However, in Charles' eyes, she looked more enchanting than intimidating, rekindling the desire he had just sated.Noelle looked at him in fear. "No more!" she pleaded.Charles narrowed his eyes, then pulled Noelle into his embrace. Stroking her hair, he said, "Alright." Though he still had energy, he had to consider her feelings.She had only just experienced intimacy for the first time, and he did not want to frighten her. They had plenty of time ahead of them, s

Noelle shifted closer to him. Her smooth, slender arm brushed against his. Charles then turned his head, his deep eyes falling on her face.Noelle froze for a moment. She stared back at him before leaning her head on his shoulder, clutching his arm with both hands.Charles kissed her forehead and said, "Go to sleep."Noelle closed her eyes. She was still holding onto him, and soon, her steady breathing signaled she was asleep. Charles opened his eyes and looked at her peaceful face. There was a smile playing on his lips.Under the soft light of the bedside lamp, his handsome smile became visible.Noelle woke in the middle of the night and noticed the emptiness beside her. She immediately opened her eyes and fumbled to turn on the lamp, only to find Charles was not there.Feeling a wave of disappointment, she touched the spot where he had been. It was no longer warm. Biting her lip, she clutched the blanket tightly.After a while, Noelle made up her mind. She got out of bed and w

"Don't forget that I was already with Keith before you and I... You know. It's normal for couples to be together like that, right? Did you really think you were the only one for me?""Liliana," Sean was clearly upset. "This isn't like you.”"No! Don't you know me well enough by now?" Liliana clenched her teeth, staring into Sean's intense gaze. She gathered her courage, balled her fists, and silently cheered herself on. "Keith is good to me. If it hadn't been for that slip-up with you, things between Keith and me would be even better now."While she said that, Liliana was inwardly apologizing to Keith.She had to lie to keep the baby. "If you don't believe me, just wait until my boyfriend gets here. You can ask him yourself. No guy would be okay with his girlfriend being with someone else. I never told him about us. I just thought of it as a mistake.""That's enough," Sean's voice was icy as he cut her off. He could not bear to hear Liliana talk about another man, especially when
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2051
After Sean said those words, he immediately wished he could take it back. He saw Liliana’s face, which was already ghostly white, lose even more color.He tried to reach out and comfort her, but Liliana pushed his hand away. Her lips trembled as she spoke, and her hands were balled into fists. "What gives you the right to talk about my baby? Whether he's born or not, what's it to you?""Liliana." Sean was taken aback by her fierce words. "You know I don't love you. I've always thought of you as a sister. That night was a mistake, and you don't want to keep a reminder of it, right? This baby shouldn't be born.""Stop it!" Liliana could not stand his words. "Sean, how can you be so heartless? He's a living being. You can't just decide he shouldn't exist."Liliana let out a bitter laugh. "Oh, I get it. You're scared, right? You've always treated me like a sister, but now you've crossed a line with your 'sister’. Are you scared of the gossip? Or are you just afraid of people saying you
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2050
A man's clear and calm voice rang out. Liliana fully awakened, blinking in surprise as she looked toward the speaker.It was Sean. It was actually him.Her face turned pale, and her fingers clenched the blanket tightly as she looked at him with a trace of fear.He was here. Did that mean he already knew about the pregnancy?Liliana bit her lip and slowly inched backward as though she were truly afraid of Sean.What she did not realize was that her reaction felt like a knife in Sean's chest. He thought that she did not want to see him and did not want him near her, which was why she instinctively pulled away.Sean stood there with a deep frown, his expression dark and unreadable. His eyes were fixed on Liliana.Her body trembled. Every time she thought of what Sean had said to her that day, she felt like she could not bear it.She bit down harder on her lip and tried her best not to look at him, as if lowering her presence could make everything disappear. She wished desperately

"That was an accident." Sean gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly as veins popped across his knuckles.Peter glanced at him with slightly furrowed brows. "The first time might've been an accident. What about the second time? Sean, you're too deep inside to see clearly. Do you really know what you want?"Sean was about to speak again, but Tania came out of the ward at that moment. Sensing the tension between the two men, she raised a brow. "What's going on?""Nothing. Let's go," Peter replied, slipping his long arm around her and pulling her petite figure into his embrace, holding her close."Come on, we haven't even eaten dinner yet.""Oh please, it's your fault I came, and you didn't even show up until so late."Peter and Tania walked off, their figures disappearing into the distance. However, Sean remained where he was, rooted to the spot. It was not until his body began to feel stiff that he finally pulled himself together, composed his expression, and pushed the doo
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2048
When Sean saw Liliana lying on the floor with a bright red pool of blood spreading beneath her, he had to admit that he had gotten scared. He had been scared that she might leave him just like that.Sean clenched his fists. "Take the pregnant woman to the ward."Tania hurried over. "Sean, is Liliana okay?"She saw the exhaustion all over Sean's face. "She's really pregnant? But she just lost so much blood… Is she…""She's fine. We stabilized her in time." Sean paused. "Both mother and child are safe."Only God knew that when he said those few words, a wave of emotion surged through him. It was so overwhelming it felt like it could drown him. He did not know how to describe the feeling. It was foreign.Tania let out a breath of relief. Although she was curious about how Liliana ended up pregnant, knowing that both Liliana and the baby were safe was enough for now. "Then I'll go to the ward and check on her.""The anesthesia hasn't worn off yet," Sean said. "She won't wake up toni

Sean let go of her wrist. "She's okay. It's probably—"His face froze mid-sentence as his gaze landed on the red stain beneath Liliana. His expression darkened instantly. "Quick, get her to the hospital!"Tania also noticed the red stain beneath Liliana and her expression changed slightly. "What happened? Liliana, she…"Before she could finish, Sean had already scooped Liliana up into his arms. Without waiting for Tania, he rushed out of the apartment and down the stairs with Liliana in his arms.Tania's mind was still a mess. All she could picture was that pool of blood beneath Liliana. There was not a lot, but… was Liliana really pregnant?Was what Joanna said true?Then whose child was Liliana carrying? Keith's?Tania thought back to what Joanna had just screamed at Sean and found herself growing increasingly confused. As far as she knew, Liliana and Sean were not that close.Sure, they were both students from Vista University, but Sean had always been difficult to approach.

Tania opened her mouth, momentarily stunned by the hostile air radiating off of Sean. Though she was not sure why he was acting so violently, she was the first to snap out of it.She stepped in front of him. "Sean, now's not the time to waste on her. We don't even know what's happened to Liliana yet."Sean finally released Joanna and gave a slight nod. "Let's go."The moment Sean let go of Joanna's wrist with visible disgust, Tania pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her hand as if she had touched something filthy. Then, she tossed the handkerchief aside.Her eyes swept over Joanna's pale, shell-shocked face. With a slight smirk, unreadable in its intent, she gave Joanna one last glance before catching up to Sean.As for what Joanna had just said, Tania did feel some doubt, but she was sharp enough to know she would not get anything worthwhile out of Joanna.Once she got in Sean's car, she turned to him. "There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?"Sean di

"Sean, you've gone too far."Lennox could not hold it in anymore. "Joanna just likes you. If you don't feel the same, you could've just rejected her."Sean let out a cold snort. "If that worked, do you think she'd still be here? With a brain like that, some people are destined to be pets their entire lives."His words were harsh and unforgiving. "Just because my mother likes pets doesn't mean I do. Joanna, take care of yourself."Joanna bit down hard on her lower lip. "Sean, how can you say that? That's not what I meant. I just—""Enough. I'm not interested in hearing your nonsense."Tania glanced at Joanna and grinned, which only made Joanna's resentful gaze land sharply on her. Tania raised her brows, about to retort, but her phone suddenly rang. She reached into her bag, saw that it was Liliana's number, and quickly answered. "What's wrong, Liliana?""Tania, help me.""What happened, Liliana? Where are you?"Tania's expression changed instantly. "Hang on, I'm coming right n

"Sean, you misunderstood. I'm not after any of that… I just… I just like you!"Joanna, humiliated in front of everyone by Sean and Tania, could hardly bear the embarrassment. With so many familiar faces watching, the sting cut even deeper.She bit down on her lower lip, her hands clenching tightly into fists. To some, like Lennox and the others, she looked pitiful—like someone others might feel sorry for. However, her performance did nothing for Sean and Tania.Lennox suddenly spoke up. "Hey, I know your family's rich, Sean, but that doesn't mean you get to humiliate someone like this! Yeah, sure, Joanna likes you—but is it wrong to like someone?"Sean frowned slightly and raised his head to glance at Lennox. He did not say a word, but Lennox immediately took a step back, instinctively swallowing hard.Damn, he was a grown man, and he actually flinched at Sean's stare.Scared into silence, Lennox said nothing more. Neither did anyone else.Edgard, ever the smart one, had known f
