"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

Noelle spoke coldly. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the soft breeze rustling her hair. Her gaze was icy, as if it could pierce through someone's heart. It chilled Yevgen to the core."I've liked you for so many years, Noelle," he said."That's your issue. You liking me is your business; it doesn't mean I owe you anything for it," she replied."Noelle, why? We've been classmates for so many years, and you knew I liked you then too. Back when we were in school, you never pushed me away. I thought that over time, you'd grow to like me," Yevgen confessed, his heart aching from the rejection."Not every affection is reciprocated. Yevgen, I hope you understand that your feelings are yours alone, and you can't use them to emotionally manipulate me," she explained."Then what about him?" Yevgen pointed at Sean. "What about him? I overheard your mother earlier—he's the guy she set you up with, and you're okay with seeing him. So why reject me?"Yevgen could not help but fin

"You..."Yevgen stepped back, completely shocked by how harsh Noelle's words were. In his memory, Noelle was not someone who refused to give others a chance. "Is it because of this man's status? Is it because he's richer than me?"Noelle felt a headache coming on, realizing that reasoning with Yevgen was pointless. "Think whatever you want, but the truth is, there's no possibility between us."Mr. Carter, you've already wasted a lot of my time. I've said everything I needed to say, and I don't want to continue this conversation. Please don't bother me again."She quickly opened the car door, slipped inside, and shut it firmly without a second thought.Yevgen stared at the closed car door, his expression dark with frustration. His fists clenched tightly as he lifted his gaze to Sean, who wa just standing there, looking utterly relaxed. Sean's demeanor was nothing short of mocking, making Yevgen feel even more humiliated.He glared at Sean fiercely. "Don't think you're so great jus

Sean dropped Noelle off at home just as Charles was coming downstairs, already dressed in clean loungewear. Seeing Noelle and Sean walk in, Charles raised an eyebrow. "Why so late?"Noelle took off her shoes and found a clean pair for Sean, handing them to him. "You two talk. I'll go get you guys some water!"Charles raised an eyebrow and looked at Sean, who had a mischievous glint in his eye. "Charles, you missed quite a show earlier. I witnessed something pretty entertaining!" Sean said, strolling over to the couch and casually propping his long legs up on the coffee table, only to have Charles kick them off."Sit properly," Charles commanded.Clearly in a good mood, Sean grinned at Charles. "You'd better be careful. Your wife was just confessed to. That guy actually had the nerve to confess to her right in front of me, of all people!""Who?"Charles' expression darkened, his gaze turning icy as it locked onto Sean.Just then, Noelle returned with two glasses of water. She h

"Hey, hey, hey!" Sean protested, his normally playful eyes narrowing in frustration. The humor was gone from his expression. "Charles, what are you doing? Don't mess around. I only agreed to pretend to be my brother this one time. You can't keep dragging me into this. Besides, this involves your wife. Are you sure about this?"Sean felt a chill run down his spine, realizing he might have been outmaneuvered by both Charles and Bob. He was irritated. "I consider you guys my brothers. You can't treat me like this!"Charles smirked, watching Sean's panicked reaction with calculated amusement. His long, narrow eyes gleamed with a hint of mischief as he patted Sean on the shoulder. "I trust you. I know you'll cooperate. Alright, it's getting late. You should head home."Just like that, Charles unceremoniously kicked Sean out.Upon returning to the bedroom, Charles saw that Noelle was still in the bathroom, so he turned and headed to his study. Due to the wedding banquet today, he had

Charles had an incredible ability to take control in moments like this, gradually guiding Noelle's emotions as he deepened their kiss.They were so absorbed in the kiss that it was only after a long while that Charles finally released her lips. He rested his forehead against hers. His breathing was heavy, and he gently caressed her cheek with his thumb. "You're mine. Why would I need to be jealous?""Mm, you don't need to be," Noelle murmured, her mind fuzzy from the intensity of the kiss. She was so lost in the moment that jealousy seemed like the least of her concerns.Her heart, however, was filled with joy. No matter what Charles said, she was happy because it showed how much he cared for her. "You don't need to be jealous, and you shouldn't be. Because aside from you, I can't possibly like anyone else, and I won't give you a reason to be jealous.""Hmm, that's more like it," Charles responded with a satisfied hum, pinching her nose playfully. "But don't think I'll let you off

That evening, when Noelle opened her inbox, she found several unread emails. As she clicked through them, her eyes lit up with excitement. "Charlie, I got accepted by Collosus Group!" Noelle was brimming with joy like a child. She quickly set down her tablet and dashed over to Charles, throwing herself into his arms.Fortunately, Charles had anticipated her reaction and had already set aside his work to welcome her with open arms.Noelle buried herself in his embrace as she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. Her eyes were gleaming with happiness as she looked up at him. "When I talked to Brian that day, I thought I wouldn't get the job. I can't believe I actually got accepted!"She beamed up at Charles. "Charlie, are you happy for me?""Of course, I'm happy!" Charles smiled, seeing her so overjoyed. He leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her lips. "I've always believed in your abilities."Noelle giggled, her confidence swelling. However, she quickly paused and narrowed her

Charles often teased her about her lack of stamina, but Noelle knew it was not her stamina that was lacking—it was his that was extraordinarily strong.Not one to take advantage and then complain, Charles immediately apologized when he saw she was upset. "It's my fault. I wasn't considerate enough of your situation. I promise I'll be much gentler tonight!""Tonight?!" Noelle exclaimed in disbelief. "You're not allowed to sleep in the master bedroom tonight, and definitely not in the same bed as me!"Still fuming, Noelle pushed Charles aside and marched into the bathroom, her emotions churning as she wondered how she ended up with someone like him. She realized now that she had not fully grasped how relentless he could be.Charles watched her with a gleam in his eye, then shook his head in mock defeat. "Hurry up and get ready. I'll go downstairs and make breakfast for you."Noelle had been furious just moments ago, but the gentle, indulgent tone in Charles' voice quickly softened h

Kelly trembled from head to toe when she heard Yves's words. She tried to push him away, but Yves was too strong, and she could not get free. "Let me go, Yves! You're crazy, a creep, let me go!" Kelly kept struggling. She tried to slap him, but Yves caught her other hand.Yves pulled Kelly close, and his chilly breath wrapped around her. She shivered, but Yves just hugged her tighter. "After all these years, you haven't changed a bit!"Kelly felt a chill all over her body. She wanted to push him away, but she could not muster the strength.Yves held Kelly in his arms. His firm chin was visible outside his mask, and his cool lips brushed against Kelly's cheek as he softly laughed. "Kelly, I've missed you too!"Kelly suddenly looked up, her surprised eyes meeting Yves's deep ones.His eyes were different from Charles's. Charles's gaze was icy and emotionless, like chunks of ice.However, Yves's eyes were different. They were just as deep but had a touch of warmth. His eyes were lik

Jethro saw Kelly wake up, her eyes sharply staring at him, showing no sign of recognition, as if she had never met him. If it were not for the icy hate in her eyes, he might have thought Kelly did not know him at all."Kelly!""Be quiet!" Kelly yelled, cutting him off, "You can't call me by my name."Jethro's brow creased, his gaze from behind the mask still fixed on Kelly.He had to admit Noelle and Kelly could almost be twins. The last time he saw Noelle, he thought she was Kelly. If Noelle had not acted so differently from Kelly, he might have mixed them up for real.Noelle was super relaxed, just like someone else he knew. Kelly was not like that. Although she was older than Noelle, she did not stay composed like her. Even when Noelle was scared, she kept her composure around him.That's how he knew Noelle was not Kelly. Kelly acted shy sometimes, which did not really fit who she was.He watched Kelly and could not help but reach out, but she smacked my hand away. She gave h

"Ha!" Kelly gave a dismissive laugh and brushed off the man's words. "You think I'd believe you?" She would not believe it for a second. "If he really cared about me, would he have let me wander alone for years? Stop the car. I don't want to see him.""Sorry, but my job is to take you back home, Ms. Anderson!" The man would not listen to Kelly. "Ms. Anderson, just hold on. We'll be there soon."Kelly stopped struggling because she knew that this man would not let her go no matter what she said.Kelly did not know what was happening, but after a bit, she felt weak, and her head spun. Before she knew it, she was fast asleep. The man in the front seat peeked back, took the cloth from her face, and saw Kelly sleeping peacefully. He started the car and drove off.Ronald was hiding outside the hospital. He saw Kelly get into the car and quickly called Charles. "Mr. Hoffman, it happened just like you said. That guy couldn't wait and pretended to be me to take Ms. Anderson."Charles was b

After hopping into the car, Kelly noticed that Ronald was unusually silent, not uttering a single word.Kelly did not know Ronald super well, but she knew enough to sense that something was off. "Mr. Wells, where's the toy Charles told you to pick up for me? Seth's been waiting for his Transformers set!"The man in front jerked in surprise, then said, "Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I was so focused on picking you up that I forgot. How about I get it tomorrow?"The man who was supposed to be Ronald eyed Kelly cautiously, and she did the same to him. When he finally answered her question, Kelly's forehead creased with worry. "Mr. Wells, could you pull over at..." She scanned the surroundings. "There's a mall right across the street. Let's stop there so I can grab a present for Seth. I haven't seen him all day, and I bet he'll be upset if I come back empty-handed!"Kelly's request made sense, but the man hesitated for quite a while. "You know things aren't safe right now. We still don't hav

"Aren't you just being careless?" Kelly helped Noelle into her room, her voice full of concern. "You're young and look healthy now, but when you get older, you'll see that your body can't handle the way you've been treating it!"Noelle laughed. "You talk like you're so experienced, but you're only a year older than me, right?"Kelly blushed a little, feeling awkward. "I'm still your older sister.""Yes." Noelle did not want to bicker with Kelly. "Anyway, where's Seth?"Kelly was at the Hoffmans', where Seth was having a blast playing with Bran. Her face lit up as she talked about Seth. It was clear Kelly adored him. "Seth hardly ever finds friends his own age, but he and Bran get along great!"Kelly always had more to say about Seth. "Tania's done an amazing job raising Bran on her own.""Yeah!" Noelle agreed, giving a nod. "Tania really went through a lot at first." She reached out and held Kelly's hand. "It's been tough for you too, raising Seth by yourself, hasn't it?"Kelly

Noelle could not shake the feeling that something was wrong. Lately, when Kelly visited, she seemed troubled. Thinking back on their recent conversations, Noelle grew increasingly worried. As she burst through the door, her heart raced. She wanted to stop what was happening, but it was too late.The moment Noelle entered, Kelly had already grabbed the syringe from Sean and jabbed it into her arm, pushing the medicine in with a quick thrust.Kelly's face was pale, and when she saw Noelle, she tried to smile. "Noelle, what are you doing here?""What are you doing?"Noelle grabbed the syringe from Kelly, but it was too late. The medicine was already in.With tears in her eyes, Noelle bit her lip hard. "Why did you have to do this?""What did I do wrong?" Kelly noticed Noelle's teary eyes and chuckled softly. "I just felt a little sick, so Sean gave me a shot. Why the tears?""You're still trying to trick me. It can't just be a shot, you..." Noelle felt like they were all treating h

"No need. Where was the secret Lifebringer seen two days ago? Email me all the details, and get a high-performance car ready." Peter got into the car after speaking. Jeremy was shocked for a second, then hurried to follow, taking the seat next to the driver. "Mr. Lennon, I'm on it right now!"Half an hour had passed, and Jeremy had emailed all the details about the secret Lifebringer to Peter. Meanwhile, Peter's team had quickly arranged for a rugged Hummer to be at his disposal. "Mr. Lennon, is this to your liking?" they asked.Without even a sideways glance at Jeremy, Peter hopped into the vehicle and clicked his seatbelt into place. "Get everyone on it right away. Search every nook and cranny, and keep in touch with me non-stop by phone," he instructed.Just as Peter was about to zoom off, Jeremy called out, "Mr. Lennon, shouldn't you bring some backup? It's been pretty dangerous in Francoria lately."Peter shook his head. "No need. More people just means more problems." He was

Tania knew things were serious, even though Peter and Charles had not told her everything.Charles had a lot on his plate, looking after both Noelle and Collosus Group. Lately, Collosus Group had been rocked by chaos, from outside attacks to internal strife. Charles realized that was not like the minor troubles of the past. The enemy had come prepared, secretly placing many of their own inside Collosus Group. If Steven had not led a team to breach the enemy's firewall and uncover some clues, Charles might have been clueless about the infiltration.Worried that Tania might be in danger, Charles decided to place her and Bran under the protection of the Hoffman family.The Hoffman estate might not look like much from the outside, but Maxwell had been busy over the years, gathering a strong team of guards.

"Hey, come over here and see me," Noelle said, waving them over to sit down. Peter had taken Sean and Charles outside, leaving Tania feeling relieved and at ease. She sat down with Bran next to Noelle and asked, "So, Kelly knows what's going on with you too?"Noelle nodded. "Yes, she does. That's why she didn't just come to visit."Tania nodded, understanding. She glanced at Noelle's belly, her eyes filled with concern and a bit of worry.Noelle caught the look and reassured her with a smile. "I'm not too worried, you know. You've been okay for three years now."Tania's smile faded a little. She kept to herself that she had not had any problems because she had not faced any triggers. However, Noelle had faced something that set off her condition last time, which was why she got sick so quickly."Right, then it should all be fine. I think my brother just wants to make sure you're okay by having you in the hospital. So, you might as well make the most of it and get him to spoil you
