The Cherished Wife Chapter 371
Noelle's lips were pressed tightly together, her determination clear. "If those people want to marry him, they can go ahead. But I won't marry him, not in a million years!""Could you repeat that?""Madam Shaw?"Out of nowhere, a voice that sounded a bit familiar cut through Jade and Noelle's argument. Jade paused, shooting Noelle a sharp look. "You’d better watch how you talk to me!" Then, with a smile, she asked, "Is that Yitty's kid, Bob?"Noelle blinked, confused. She saw Jade smiling warmly at someone behind her. With a slight frown, she turned around. When she saw the man standing there, her mouth twitched.He was dressed in a light brown suit that fit him perfectly, making him look very handsome. The man wore a polite smile, looking relaxed but also giving off a vibe of someone important.If Noelle did not know him, she might have been fooled by his looks.With a mix of feelings playing across her face, Noelle looked at the man and started to say, "You...""Hello, I'm Bo
The Cherished Wife Chapter 372
Noelle had an ‘aha!’ moment. Sean and Bob were related. That was why Charles had figured it out earlier."But if Bob is your cousin, how come..." Noelle was still a bit confused. She had not heard the name Bob around Brookville. If he was someone important, she thought she would have known about him.Sean smiled and gestured for her to sit. "Noelle, have a seat!" He seemed totally at ease as he made her a cup of coffee. "He's my aunt's son, and he’s actually named Andy. You've probably heard of him. My aunt married into the Jones family in Cascade City a long time ago, and my cousin is the heir to the Jones family."Noelle understood a little bit. "Andy? So why does everyone call him Bob?" She was still puzzled.Sean continued, "That's an old story. My aunt cut ties with the Jones family a long time ago. My cousin visits every year, and everyone calls him Andy there. But you know how it is with us Smiths—if I don't take charge, then it falls to my cousin. Grandpa was so set on him

Sean smirked, raising an eyebrow. "Noelle, if I'm not mistaken, didn't your sister book this entire floor?"Noelle's cheeks turned pink as she caught the playful glint in Sean's eyes. She had heard the sounds too, and she was not a clueless kid. She knew exactly what those noises meant, and it made her feel second-hand embarrassment.She wanted to get out of there fast, but the sounds only got louder, making her ears feel like they were on fire. "Um...""Shh!" Sean whispered, putting his finger to his lips. "Don't you want to check out the show?""No way!" Noelle shook her head. "Let's get out of here!" They could not just stand around and listen to that. However, a loud cry pierced the air, "Xavier, harder!"Noelle's heart skipped a beat. She had no feelings for Xavier anymore, but hearing that voice during such an intimate moment was just too much. It was awkward, and there was a weird feeling she could not quite name inside her chest.Sean heard it too and looked at Noelle wit

Rowena and Teresa looked at Noelle again and gave her a little wink. Noelle caught their eyes and gave them a quick smile. Sean even gave Rowena a cheeky grin.Rowena felt a shiver and rubbed her arms. "Ugh, I can't stand him. He's such a pain!"Teresa laughed and said, "He didn't even do anything to you. Why are you always so bothered by him?"Rowena pouted and huffed, "I just don't like him. Why is Noelle hanging out with him?"Noelle came over with Sean. "Grandpa, Granddad, this is Sean, Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith, this is my Grandpa, and this is my Granddad!" She introduced them one by one. When she got to Charles, she paused. "And this is Charles, my husband!"Charles's fingers trembled ever so slightly as he held his coffee cup. Noelle's voice was a quiet murmur, barely audible to just their little group, but it filled Charles's heart with a rush of happiness.He looked up, his dark eyes sparkling with a light so bright it seemed to dim everything else around.With a soft smile,

Sean squinted and silently praised Charles. Lately, Charles had really been turning on the charm. He was even flirting with Noelle right in front of everyone. He faked a couple of coughs and tapped on the table. "Hey, you two, keep it classy!"Charles smirked. "Oh? Got a problem with it?"Sean made a face. "Nah, that's not it. But I've got something cool to show you!" Sean tried to sit next to Charles and casually put his arm around him, but Charles brushed him off and gave him an icy look. Sean awkwardly dropped his arm and laughed it off. "Oops, my bad. I forgot!"At the table sat some pretty impressive people, and everyone was eager to meet someone as important as Charles. However, Charles had a way of making it clear he was not too keen on meeting new people. After seeing how Charles reacted to Sean, nobody felt brave enough to go up to him. They just watched from afar.Noelle was chatting with Samuel and Sebastian. The two older men did not seem to care much for the party. The

"You mentioned earlier that you had something to show me?" Charles interrupted Sean. "Give it to me."Sean flashed a harmless smile, but it gave off a strange vibe, one that made Noelle and Rowena feel like it was insidious and sly.Sean handed Charles the video he had just recorded in the lounge. "When I went to see Noelle earlier, I stumbled upon quite the show. Take a look for yourself—it's quite entertaining!"Charles glanced at the video and then looked at Sean, asking, "Did she see it?"Sensing a gaze on her, Noelle looked up and found herself staring into Charles' deep, stormy eyes. She gave him a puzzled look, silently mouthing, "What's wrong?"Charles withdrew his gaze and focused on Sean's face, pressing him, "Well?""Of course not! Do you think I'm that kind of person? Rest assured, Noelle definitely didn't see it. I made sure she left the room first," Sean assured Charles. "I swear, there's no way I'd let Noelle see something like this! I just filmed it on a whim, thi
The Cherished Wife Chapter 377
Introduced someone to Noelle?Xavier felt a surge of anger but knew he could not say anything."Xavier, should we go say hello?" Winter noticed Xavier's frustration but did not care. She wanted Xavier to face reality. He and Noelle could never be together. He would always belong to her.Winter was even pleased with the idea of introducing such an outstanding man to Noelle as long as it meant getting Noelle out of the picture."No need," Xavier replied, turning his head away. "There are still plenty of guests to greet. Let's go talk to the others."As the wedding banquet came to an end, the guests began to disperse.Since Jade was using the pretense of arranging a match for Noelle, she insisted that Noelle spend some time with Sean before he left.Noelle, finding it hard to refuse, texted Charles, asking if he could take Rowena and Teresa home.Just as Noelle was about to get into Sean's car, someone stopped her. It was Yevgen, the person who had saved her before and who had bee
The Cherished Wife Chapter 378
"Noelle?"Yevgen noticed that Noelle seemed both indifferent and slightly impatient, which made him even more nervous. He wanted to take a step forward, but the coldness in Noelle's eyes froze him in place.He stood there stiffly, waiting for her response.Noelle glanced at Yevgen with a detached expression, then looked over at Sean, who was watching the situation unfold with amusement.She frowned slightly, not particularly pleased with the situation. After all, being confessed to under such circumstances was far from enjoyable.The surroundings were quiet. The autumn breeze was cool with a hint of chill, much like Noelle's current demeanor—difficult to read.She looked at Yevgen for a moment before saying, "Yevgen, I haven't had the chance to thank you for saving me last time. Since we've run into each other today, I want to express my gratitude for what you did that day." Noelle's tone was calm, without much emotion. "Is there anything else?"Yevgen was taken aback, not exp

"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
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2124
"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
