After Noelle left with the thermos, Charles turned his gaze back to Sebastian's piercing eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through one's soul.Charles smiled calmly, unfazed by the intense scrutiny. How about a game of chess, sir?"Sebastian snorted but stood up nonetheless. "Fine. Let's go to the study."Charles followed Sebastian, his smile unwavering. Despite his age, Sebastian was still spry, moving with a youthful vigor. Once they reached the study, Charles easily found the chessboard and set it up, waiting for Sebastian to join him.Sebastian glanced at Charles. "Don't think that just because Noelle spoke up for you, I've forgiven you. Noelle is my granddaughter, and I know her temperament well.""You're right, sir," Charles replied, setting up the chess pieces. "I've always known of your skill in chess since our school days. How about you give me a two-piece advantage?""You wish!" Sebastian shot Charles a sideways glance. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Wh

That evening, when they returned, Noelle kept asking Charles about what had transpired between him and Sebastian.Previously, Noelle had sensed that although her grandfather did not voice it, he was quite displeased with their decision to marry before informing him. Yet, after Charles played a game of chess with him, Sebastian seemed to change his mind and even appeared to be in a good mood.During dinner, Sebastian ate two whole plates and kept serving Charles more food, a privilege even Noelle had not experienced.When Charles was busy, Noelle took the opportunity to ask her grandfather what he had discussed with Charles and assured him that her marriage with Charles would be happy.In response, Sebastian knocked on her head, saying, "You've quickly forgotten your roots." He remarked that she was already siding with Charles just after getting married.However, Sebastian's tone lacked any anger, and he seemed quite relieved. Noelle could tell that her grandfather had accepted the

Reflecting on it, Noelle realized that during her time with Xavier, they had never done anything truly intimate that couples usually did.She could not help but chuckle softly and shook her head, mocking herself for only now recognizing the issues in her relationship with Xavier after so long."What are you laughing at?" Charles noticed the melancholic expression on Noelle's face. With one hand on the steering wheel, he gently squeezed her hand with the other. "Not interested in watching the movie?"Noelle shook her head. "No, I just suddenly remembered some things from the past and realized how foolish I was before."Charles raised an eyebrow, immediately sensing Noelle's emotions. He patted the back of her hand. "There's no need to dwell on the past. Your present is much better."Noelle looked up, smiling softly. "Don't worry about me. I was just having a moment of reflection." She was very aware of her situation and feelings.She was much better now compared to before. "Are yo

Charles was a student he had personally mentored, and he trusted both his knowledge and character.The reason he felt secure entrusting Noelle to Charles was partly due to Charles's status. Marrying Charles meant Noelle would have a strong support system, ensuring she would be well taken care of even after he was gone. He believed Charles would look after Noelle very well.Sebastian thought about this as he took a book from the shelf, which held a photograph. The picture had aged, showing a young, vibrant girl in a floral dress, her smile radiant as her dress fluttered in the wind.Sebastian touched the girl's face in the photo, tears streaming down his cheeks.As she stood by the door, May saw Sebastian and sighed. After a while, she knocked and entered. "Sir, it's time for your medicine and rest."Sebastian came back to reality, placing the photo back in the book and wiping away his tears. "Alright."…After leaving the cinema, Noelle and Charles felt a bit reluctant for the e

Time passed quickly, and it was soon the end of the month. The Shaw family and the Harris family were busy preparing for Xavier and Winter's wedding. It had been a while since Winter had been with Royal Star, and her new show was starting to get promoted. Winter received news that the shooting would begin in the middle of next month.Winter's wedding was on the third day of the next month, and she had started trying out wedding dresses as she had scheduled her timing accordingly. However, compared to Winter's enthusiasm, Xavier was blase about the wedding.His wedding with Winter had happened too suddenly, and Xavier had not completely given up on Noelle. Xavier also could not get over how Winter had her hands on Samuel's shares. When Winter was trying on wedding dresses, she tried to convince Xavier to come along several times, but Xavier kept pushing it off by claiming he was busy with work. Winter was annoyed and upset about it.Winter felt that Xavier was acting that way because

"You might treat her as your sister, but that doesn't mean she would treat you the same way. That's enough, Winter. I know you're worried about her, but you should stay out of this. I have to teach Noelle a lesson no matter what. If I don't do anything, she'll just continue being arrogant. You might end up getting bullied further."Winter's eyes narrowed. She sneered in her heart but put on an anxious look on her face as she looked at Suzy.Suzy shook her head. "You should stay out of this, Winter. This is between Annie and Noelle. You know that very well."Winter lowered her head in despair. However, she smiled coldly when Annie and Suzy were not looking. Her hands were clenched tightly at both sides.Noelle was no match for Winter at all. How dare she try taking Xavier away from Winter? Tomorrow would be the day Noelle found out the consequences of trying to take Winter's man away from her.Meanwhile, Noelle was not planning on attending the classmate reunion. However, Rowena an

"I heard that it starts at seven, but I think we shouldn't arrive so early. By the way, I was told that Winter would be there as well." Rowena did not sound too happy about it. "I thought that little bitch would never dare show her face. She must be up to no good if she's attending the reunion as well."Noelle could not help laughing when she heard Rowena's tone. "It's going to be fine. We're all classmates, after all." Despite her reassurance, Noelle knew that someone like Winter would never let Noelle get out of the reunion unscathed.This reminded Noelle of her university days when they ended up in the same class as Noelle had great results while Winter did badly.Noelle remembered how Winter would always try to outdo her. Whenever Noelle did better than Winter, Noelle would end up being yelled at by Jade. Jade would always berate Noelle for embarrassing Winter.She remembered the tone her mother had used on her when she was being berated. Noelle was young then and could not und

"Isn't it clear who the real campus belle is? Why would we need to vote?"Someone said this out loud and everyone proceeded to agree. "That's right. Just look at Winter. She's a famous celebrity right now. I heard that it's difficult to meet her!""Yeah. A distant cousin of mine asked me to get her autograph when she found out we were classmates," someone said. "Do you think she'll show up tonight?""Tsk, tsk!" Rowena nudged Noelle's shoulder and could not help but sigh. "Winter Shaw sure is popular!" She continued, "Look at that. Most of these people used to run after you back then, but they're all salivating for Winter now."Noelle smiled and glanced at Rowena. "Are you feeling gleeful over my misfortune?""Hey, Winter is here!"Everyone turned their attention to the door. Winter walked in with Annie and Suzy and all of them turned their focus on Winter. "Hey, isn't that our big celebrity? I thought you wouldn't be here!""I won't miss this for the world! How could I not be he

"Yeah. Bobby is Yankel's son, so he has to go back to the Canfield family eventually," Liliana said. As she looked up, her eyes caught a glimpse of the person in the driver's seat ahead, and she gasped. "It's you—""Liliana?" Noelle heard a voice crackling through the phone, then nothing but silence."Liliana?"Noelle jumped to her feet and tried calling Liliana back, but no one answered. She dashed downstairs, only to be stopped by Charles. "What's the matter? You look so worried.""It's Liliana. Something's happened to her," Noelle explained, clutching her phone. "I was just talking to her. It sounded like she met someone or something happened. All I heard was Liliana saying, ‘It's you,' some choppy bits of conversation, and then nothing. When I called back, nobody picked up."Noelle was not just being paranoid. She had been through enough to have a keen sense for these things.Charles's brow furrowed as he tried calling Liliana but got no response."Where was Liliana when she

Yankel was taken aback by Liliana's words. He looked at her, his face full of wonder and questions. Liliana did not know what to say, so she just coughed a little and asked, "You don't think I'm being unreasonable, do you, Mr. Canfield?"Yankel shook his head. He had never thought that. He knew Liliana loved Bobby a lot and thought it would be hard for her to give him up. That was why he was so surprised when she offered to let Bobby go back to him. "I didn't mean it like that," he said."Actually..." Liliana paused, then shared the story of how she first met Samara and how they ended up depending on each other. "You could tell that even after Samara had to leave, she still loved you a lot. She even risked her life to have your baby. I know she loved you because she asked me to take care of Bobby when she was very sick. She even worried that Bobby might be too much for me and told me to find you, so you could raise him."Liliana let out a sigh. "I guess I've been selfish. I treated

Casey sat in the front seat, watching Liliana and Bobby together. Surprise flickered in his eyes, but it was mostly happiness. "Ms. Liliana, it looks like the little guy is really fond of you."Liliana did not say yes or no, but Bobby chimed in, "I love Mommy the most! I love Mommy the most!"Casey could not help but smile. "Yep, the little guy loves you the most, Ms. Liliana." He glanced at Liliana, trying to read her face. "Ms. Liliana, have you ever thought that since you and the little guy are so close, maybe you and...""Casey, I don't see Mr. Canfield that way," Liliana said calmly.Casey blushed a little, realizing he had stepped out of line. "Sorry, I spoke out of turn." He stayed quiet for the rest of the drive.When they reached the Canfield house, Liliana stepped out with Bobby in her arms, and Casey led the way. "Ms. Liliana, it's just Mr. Canfield at home today." He meant to tell her not to worry. Even if the Canfield family did not like Bobby, they would not do anyth

Liliana did not have any special feelings for Yankel. It was all about Bobby. She could tell Yankel really cared for Bobby. "He's Bobby's real dad. I can't keep them apart."Noelle chuckled. "Okay, okay, I was just teasing. Look at you, getting all worked up over nothing!"Noelle leaned in closer, her gaze making Liliana a little uncomfortable. "Noelle, what are you...""Liliana, what are you going to do now?" Noelle asked, her eyes full of concern. "I know Sean is my brother, but I really don't mind, especially after everything that happened..." She trailed off. She was not sure of all the details, but she knew Liliana had loved Sean with all her heart. Sean, however, had been as unfeeling as a log and had even hurt Liliana deeply.After leaving with a heart full of hurt, it was no surprise that Liliana could not forgive Sean, let alone get back together with him. Noelle felt the same. She would not get back with Sean if she were in Liliana's shoes.Noelle knew she should suppo

Charles dropped Liliana off at Phoenix Tree Residence and headed straight back to the office. On the way, he called Sean, "I've made sure she's safe and sound."Sean massaged his forehead and replied, "Hmm."Charles could not resist a little joke. "Haven't figured it out yet?""Liliana just can’t forget what happened years ago." Sean wore a sad smile. "It's my fault too. If only I had gotten there sooner back then, or if I had understood my own feelings earlier, none of this would have happened." He thought his child might have been older than Peter's by now.However, Sean kept those words to himself. He knew that child was a secret he could not talk about, a pain too deep for words to convey.The two were quiet for a moment until Charles broke the silence. "Liliana's giving all the love she had for that child to Bobby now. You've noticed, haven't you?""Yeah." How could he not? That was why Sean felt so bad about it and why he wanted to do right by Bobby to make up for the baby

Yankel and Xenia got divorced. On the day Yankel left the hospital, Liliana watched as Xenia desperately clung to Yankel's hand, but Yankel would not even give her a second look.Xenia was also holding onto Lawrence's hand, begging Yankel over and over to look at Lawrence, but Yankel just would not. Finally, Xenia started hitting Lawrence's face like crazy. Yankel finally stopped walking.Yankel grabbed Xenia's hand, his face showing no emotion. "Are you out of your mind? Lawrence is just a kid." He was just a little younger than Bobby.Xenia burst into laughter at that, but then she broke down crying. "So what if he's a kid? He still can't make you stay? Yankel, you know how I've treated you all these years, don't you?"Yankel, where's your heart?"Yankel stared indifferently at Xenia, then took Lawrence away and handed him to an assistant. "Take Lawrence to Elvis.""Yankel, you'll get what's coming to you! Yankel, Lawrence is your son, not Elvis's! You..."Yankel ordered some

Liliana's cheeks turned pink as she nodded, even though she was not really cold. "Uh-huh!"Sean finished tending to the wound, put the medicine box away, and looked over to see Liliana sitting up straight like an elementary school student. A warm feeling washed over him."Do you want to stay here with Bobby, or should I take you home?""No way. I'll stay with Bobby!" After everything that happened tonight, Liliana was too worried to leave Bobby alone in the hospital room. Who knew what could happen during the night?Sean's expression darkened a bit. "Don't worry. Nothing like this will happen again." After all, Bobby was in his hospital, and he was responsible for the boy's safety.Liliana shook her head. "No. It's not your fault."Xenia was out to hurt someone, and she would take any chance she got, no matter where Bobby was. You could never be too careful, and who would have guessed Xenia would go after a child?Liliana had no idea what might have happened if Liliana had not n

Liliana gave Sean a stern look. "It's time for Bobby to go to bed.""But Mom, I'm not tired yet!" Bobby said, tilting his head and blinking his big, adorable eyes, which almost made Liliana melt."It's bedtime, no matter what. It's really late," Liliana insisted. She tucked Bobby into bed. After he fell asleep, she turned around to find Sean still there. She frowned. "Why are you still here?"Sean's smile faded as he walked over with big steps and grabbed Liliana's wrist. Ignoring her wishes, he started to lead her outside.Liliana was upset by Sean's actions and tried to pull away, but Sean held on tight. He even warned her, "If you want to wake everyone up, go ahead and yell."Feeling trapped, Liliana glared at Sean and whispered angrily, "What do you want?"Sean did not answer. He just kept walking and pulling her along.Liliana had no choice but to follow. At least Sean was considerate enough to slow down for her shorter steps.Sean took Liliana to his office, opened the do

Liliana blushed and rolled her eyes at Bobby.Sean chuckled. "That's because I'm a grown-up.""I'm a grown-up too!" Bobby declared, standing tall and puffing out his chest with pride. "Right, Mr. Smith?""Sure, you’re a big boy now," Sean agreed, playfully tapping Bobby's nose.Liliana's brow furrowed with concern. "Mr. Smith, it's getting late. Bobby needs to go to bed."She reached to take Bobby from Sean, but Sean was quicker and gently held her hand. His eyes briefly showed some worry as he noticed the scratches on her hand. "I should have done more than just kick her."Liliana's cheeks warmed as she pulled her hand away, a bit flustered. "I'm okay, and you did kick her, remember? She even coughed up a lot of blood!"Liliana thought the kick must have been super strong. Although she was not the one who was kicked, the pain looked so bad that she winced.Sean saw her reaction and let out a small laugh. "Don't worry. I never hit women, and I definitely would never hit you."
