The Cherished Wife Chapter 279
Charles was a sweet talker, and Sebastian was not an unreasonable man. He knew his limits, and after all, this was Charles, his former student.He knew what sort of character Charles possessed. Otherwise, he would not even have bothered introducing him to Noelle a couple of months before. Back then, he had hoped a relationship would blossom between the two and only stopped willing it to happen when Noelle refused.He was not expecting Charles and Noelle to become an item of their own accord after he gave up trying. When he heard the respectful way Charles spoke to him, all the anger Sebastian previously felt completely dissipated. However, he felt the need to put on an act. “Hmph, don’t think this sweet talk can fool me! I’m telling you, you’d better provide me with a proper explanation. I’m sure you know the kind of temper that I have!” “Of course, I will, sir. I’m sure you know the sort of character I am, sir!” Charles finally managed to cajole Sebastian. He glanced at Noel

“Pfft!” Noelle could not help but laugh. “Do you think Grandpa will buy that?” Noelle gave Charles a once-over before adding, “You don’t seem like the kind to pester someone!” Charles raised an eyebrow as he reached out to tap her on the nose. “That might not necessarily be the case!” Noelle smacked his hand out of the way. “Hmph, then I’ll say that tomorrow, and we’ll see whether Grandpa believes you or not.” After giving it some thought, Noelle realized it truly was the only explanation they could give. “Love is something that’s difficult to explain,” he said as he toyed with her hand. “Alright, let’s not discuss this any further. Where did you go today?” Since Charles brought that up, Noelle was reminded of something that had happened. “I wasn’t expecting your predictions to be so accurate.” “Oh?”Charles led Noelle into their bedroom and began taking off his jacket. When he heard what Noelle said, he put his jacket down and motioned for her to continue. She bit down on

Only then did Noelle react. "Wait! You've been off work for so long, but I haven't cooked!" She suddenly realized it and had a guilty look on her face. "Why didn't you remind me earlier? You've been busy all day, and I was at home doing nothing. You don't even get to come home to a hot meal!""Silly girl." Charles touched Noelle's face and pinched her cheek. "It's alright. Change your clothes, and I'll take you out for dinner. We can also pick out a gift for Grandpa.""Okay!" Noelle grabbed Charles's hand, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed the corner of his lips. "Then you change your clothes too. We'll head out!"Charles' eyes twinkled with amusement as he touched his lips and followed Noelle into the walk-in closet.Visiting Sebastian was indeed a bit of a hassle. It was not that Charles was afraid of anything, but the timing was a bit early. However, it was not a big deal.He never intended to keep their marriage a secret from everyone. Noelle had her reasons for wanting to ke

Noelle burst into laughter, giving Charles a playful glare. "Is that really what they say?""Yes!" Charles grabbed Noelle's hand, his deep, dark eyes filled with sincerity. He gazed at her as if he wanted to see into her very soul.Noelle's heart skipped a beat. There was an indescribable feeling washing over her. Just looking at him made her heart race uncontrollably.Coming back to her senses, she pulled her hand away from his. "I never knew you could be so cheeky!" Although she spoke teasingly, she felt a sweetness in her heart.She bowed her head and carefully tied Charles' tie, thinking that happiness could be so simple. Being with Charles wasn't as hard to accept as she had once imagined.When she finished tying the tie, Noelle released Charles' hand. However, he immediately pulled her close, lifting her chin to look her in the eyes. "Now that you're with me, you can put your trust in me."Noelle's heart started to pound irregularly. She tried to look away, but Charles held

"Of course." Although unsure of Noelle's identity, the manager noticed how Charles was so protective of her. Charles had held her hand the entire time, indicating just how important she was.Hence, the manager led Charles and Noelle into a private room. Charles took off his suit jacket, and Noelle naturally took it and set it aside. She looked at Charles, "I thought you were going to take me over to meet them."Charles raised an eyebrow, "Do you want to meet them?"Noelle pressed her lips together but did not answer. Charles understood. "We won't meet them today. We'll wait for another opportunity to meet them formally. Besides, I haven't even seen Grandpa Sebastian and Grandpa Samuel yet!"His words carried deeper meaning and elevated Sebastian and Samuel in importance.Noelle felt touched and nodded. "Next time, then. Today isn't appropriate anyway."Charles ordered a few of Noelle's favorite dishes and then dismissed the manager. "I thought the same," he said.As for Peter an

"Is that the right thing to say?" Peter sneered, "Sean, you weren't the studious type in school, were you?"Peter finished speaking and walked away directly. Sean raised an eyebrow. "I wonder, Peter, are you jealous? Are you?"…On Charles' end, when he heard the manager say that Peter had sent over a bottle of wine, he raised an eyebrow. "They left?""Yes, they just left. Mr. Lennon said he had something else to attend to." The manager glanced at Noelle again, still unable to believe what Sean had said. This woman was actually Charles' wife?When Noelle heard that Peter had sent over the wine but left, she had a good impression of Peter. She thought he was a person who knew how to carry himself.However, Charles' dark eyes showed a flash of light as he sharply glanced at the manager, who immediately withdrew his gaze and awkwardly left the room."Your friend seems quite decent!""Decent?" Charles raised an eyebrow. "Naturally, he is decent." Such good wine, and he was willing

Seeing Charles nod, Noelle understood. She then glanced at Ian's reaction and raised an eyebrow, saying, "So, Curio Corner is actually yours?"Charles laughed and gestured for Ronald and Ian to leave. After they left, he opened the painting and examined it. "Is it very strange?"Noelle pursed her lips and gave Charles a sideways glance. "So, the gift you gave my grandfather before was another one of your tricks?" Noelle could not quite describe her feelings; she was not exactly angry.Seeing that Charles seemed completely unbothered, she could not muster any real anger and simply asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"Charles gave her a meaningful look. His long fingers brushed over the painting as he tapped it. "You walked into the shop yourself. I was planning to find another way, but you ended up going to Curio Corner." Charles chuckled."I've never minded what means I use, as long as the result is good." His eyes, which were filled with light, fell on Noelle. They were spark

"Please come in!" May's eyes shone with satisfaction, which made Noelle happy as well. However, she remembered that her grandfather seemed somewhat displeased about their marriage.She glanced at Charles, intending to pull her hand away from his, but Charles held on firmly.May saw this and felt genuinely happy. "Ms. Noelle, why don't you and your husband go and have a chat with Sir Jones? He often talks about you when you're not around. I'll go make your favorite casserole.""Really? The seafood casserole?" Noelle's eyes sparkled. "Thank you, May!"Charles handed Noelle a pair of shoes to change into, then changed his own. After that, he led her into the living room while holding her hand.Sebastian had already heard their conversation and was eagerly waiting for them. However, when they finally came in, he pretended to be reading the newspaper. In fact, he was not actually reading a single word.Holding Charles' hand, Noelle saw her grandfather pretending to read the newspaper

The medicine was clear and tasteless, and it would disappear after a while. Linda wanted Janet to fall into a deep sleep fast. In no time, she noticed Janet's eyebrows twitch, and then she was out like a light."You're so mean, poking so many holes in people. Well, let's see how you like it," Linda said.She hopped onto the bed, grabbed some silver instruments from her bag, and with quick, sure moves, she stuck them into Janet's body. Janet, fast asleep, did not feel a thing.Linda had always been fascinated by special treatments, even though her family did not want to teach her. She had learned it all on her own, sometimes even practicing with Saxon. Saxon himself said Linda was better at it than he was. In fact, Linda's talent was way better than Saxon's.However, Linda was not done. She felt like she had not had enough fun. She took out another bottle from her bag and popped a pill into Janet's mouth. "This pill? I made it from a virus I got from those dead rats of yours. It mig

"Don't worry, these small fries are no match for me," Linda boasted with confidence. "Even if I can't beat them physically, one poke with my instrument and they'll be begging for mercy!"Sean smirked when he heard that. "Alright, I've already scoped the place out. The first floor is where the servants bunk, so let's not stir them up. The second floor is Milo's and the Baker family head's pad. Janet and Jace are on the third floor — remember, Janet is our mark, so don't mess up the rooms."Sean pointed at the floor plan he had managed to get his hands on.Linda shot Sean an impatient look. "Okay. I'm not a kid, you know!"After stashing their gear, Sean gestured to the side. "You take the southeast approach, and I'll start from this end."With that, they set off on their mission.The guards might have had some fight in them, but to Sean and Linda, they were a walk in the park to deal with, especially in the dead of night when guards were sleepy and dropped their guard. Seizing the

Liliana bit her lip, "Brother, I...""Don't rush to give me an answer. Think about it. It's late, so you should head back."Liliana nodded, "Okay, I'll go then." She got up, hesitated for a moment, and added, "Brother, your wife is going to be okay!"Charles gave a small smile, "I know." He had always known.Once Liliana was gone, Charles sat down next to Noelle, watching her sleep peacefully. He gently touched her skin.While she had been sick, he might have looked composed and calm, but nobody knew the pain he felt better than he did. He knew he could not let himself worry, especially not in front of Noelle.Yesterday, when he walked into the bedroom and saw Noelle sleeping so deeply, he fought hard to keep his feelings in check. He did not want to lose his composure.Today, all of the poison was finally out of her system, and he felt like he had gotten back something very special that he had lost. He gently stroked Noelle's face and said, "I've waited so long for you. No more

Those people were so irritating. Could they not see Noelle was still out cold? There they were, acting all lovey-dovey right in front of him? Charles was really upset.Peter and Yves caught each other's eye and had to stifle a laugh. Charles had been all about showing off his own romance before, but then he could not handle a bit of theirs?"Are you guys going or what?"Peter smirked and replied, "Sure thing!"Once everyone had left, the big hospital room was quiet with just Charles and Liliana left. Liliana paused, looking from Charles to Noelle.She had thought about leaving with Peter and the rest, but she stayed because she had something on her mind. Charles could tell. He gently fixed Noelle's blanket before turning to Liliana, "You wanted to talk?"Liliana nodded, "Yeah.""Let's hear it."Charles had a pretty good guess already. It was all about old family drama. He had not wanted Liliana to go back to the Hoffmans, and it was not just to be mean. With her awkward place i

"Yes." Tania agreed with a nod. "Ms. Holt told me mine is the first-generation poison."Saxon gave a small laugh. "You're lucky that little Linda didn't wear you out completely." However, even as he said that, he checked them over with care. "You're all okay. Linda used silver instruments to get the poison out, and what else did she give you?""Um... Ms. Holt said it was sugar, and it was really sweet," Tania recalled that Linda had indeed given them lots of candy.Saxon smiled again. "Well, keep on eating!" Actually, the candies Linda had were not the ones she made, but the special ones Saxon had switched with hers. Those candies were like treasures, and he never thought she would give them all away to help. It looked like these folks meant a lot to her.Saxon pulled out some more candies from his pocket and handed them to Tania and Kelly. "This is all I've got right now. We'll figure it out once you've finished these."He seemed pretty relaxed about it, but the one who had poiso

"Okay, as soon as Noelle gets out of the hospital and Ves comes back to the Hoffman family, we're going to throw a huge party. It's been ages since we've had such a good time, and with Yves and Liliana both here, it'll be perfect!" Maxwell announced, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he looked at Yves.Maxwell had thought his brother's family line had ended, but to his surprise, there was still Yves. He was beside himself with joy. "Ves, please come back home to the Hoffman family, and to the Collosus Group too!"Yves scrunched his face and was about to respond, but Kelly cut in quickly, "He'll definitely come back!"Yves paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes, but he quickly smoothed out his expression, hiding the flurry of emotions inside.The two families could not just stand around forever. After spending a little more time admiring the two adorable babies, they visited Noelle's hospital room. Since Noelle was still asleep, they all decided that it was time to head

Bran's innocent comment had everyone laughing. "Oh, Bran, they just haven't opened their eyes yet. When they grow up, they'll be as cute as you!""Really?" Bran asked, tilting their head, "Okay then!"Liliana had been quiet the whole time, just watching the babies in the incubator.She had not really wanted to come, since the Hoffmans and the Smiths were not exactly her biggest fans. However, she wanted to see those babies, to see the little ones who belonged to Charles and Noelle.Today, both families were filled with joy, and nobody paid much attention to Liliana. Even if they were not fond of her, they would not send her away on such a happy day.Liliana gazed at the two little babies in the warm nursery, and her eyes quickly filled with tears. She placed her hands gently on the glass, a small smile spreading across her face as she whispered to herself, "They are so beautiful."Clarisse watched Liliana and felt a mix of emotions stirring within her.She did not feel very clos

Yves gave a gentle smile and stroked Seth's hair. "Are you having a good time?""Yes!" Seth bobbed his head enthusiastically. "Bran and Bobby are really nice!" Seth had clearly made friends, and Yves' smile grew wider. However, then he turned to Kelly. "Would you like to visit the hospital?"Kelly's eyes lifted. "Is that okay?" She had been worried about Noelle's safety, but she knew that her presence might not help and might even be a hindrance. Besides, the kids needed someone to watch over them, so she had been trying to stay calm.When Yves made the offer, Kelly wanted to go. "How's Noelle doing?""Charles just called. The mom and babies are all doing great!" Yves told Kelly with a big smile, looking really happy. "It's a boy and a girl, but they came a bit early. They're still in their cozy incubators for now.""And how's Noelle?" Kelly asked quickly."She's fine too, just getting some rest," Yves replied, softly touching Kelly's forehead. Kelly blinked in surprise, looking

"Winter mailed the package. I thought Mrs. Hoffman would open it, but she didn't!" The maid's face showed a flicker of disappointment. "Winter promised the item would surely frighten Mrs. Hoffman, so...""So, you tried to scare her?" Yves thought that Winter must really hate Noelle, especially since she was pregnant.Yves squinted and asked, "What happened next?""When Winter heard that it didn't work, she met with me and handed me a lamp. She said it was from Mr. Baker and told me to light it while Mrs. Hoffman was fast asleep. She said that it would go unnoticed!"After she spoke, the maid fell to the ground, too much in pain to stand. The guard service member, seeing that, stabbed her thigh with a knife, "Ahh..."The maid screamed again, but the guard service member quickly covered her mouth.The pain had nearly knocked her out, but then she was wide awake again, "I've told you everything I know, I don't know anything else, I really don't.""How do you two keep in touch?"
