"My relationship with Mr. Parker is the same as yours," Noelle replied with a playful grin, brushing off the idle chatter.Arya trusted Noelle. If Noelle said there was nothing to it, then that was that. "Okay, I can breathe easy then. You have no idea. Mr. Parker is a total catch, and girls are practically lining up for him. I just didn't want you getting caught up in all that drama!""Relax," Noelle said, giving Arya's shoulder a reassuring pat. "You're making it sound way more intense than it is. Mr. Parker's a great guy, and he'll find someone just as awesome. You don't need to stress about it."The buzz about Noelle and Brian fizzled out as quickly as it had started. With so many people around, the topic changed before you knew it. Besides, the people at the heart of the rumor did not make a big deal out of it, so neither did anyone else.A little ways off, Janet froze when she caught sight of Noelle's face. She could not tear her eyes away, terrified she was mistaken. However

Yes, Kelly was tarnished now!Janet regained her composure, gulping to calm her nerves before glancing around her. "Aunt Clary, no one saw me in the state I was in just now, right?” She had nearly forgotten that they were at an annual dinner where plenty of people were present. Clarisse breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Janet return to normal. “It’s alright, no one noticed.” Although that was what Clarisse claimed, the truth was that plenty of people had noticed. Still, they all decided to turn a blind eye because of Clarisse and Janet’s identities. “Calm down. Also, did you do the decorations for the venue this year?” Clarisse asked as she swept an admiring gaze across the room. “Not bad. You’re becoming more and more competent, Janet. Charles will be pleased when he learns of this.” “Really, Aunt Clary?” “Of course. Since when have I lied to you? Enough of that for now, you’ll be hosting the annual dinner later, so why don’t you go powder your nose? You must make sure to

“That’s wrong, Clarisse. Charles is your son, and he will remain your son forever. No one can take him away from you, not even me. He is his own being who can think of his own free will and is an excellent person that not even I could claim control over.” When Nancy realized Clarisse was going overboard, she shook her head. "I’m not the one who caused your relationship with Charles to end up the way it is, Clarisse. Similarly, since you decided to Mateo, you should stop obsessing over things that will never belong to you. Were you speaking the truth when you said I’d taken what rightfully belonged to you?” Nancy stared at Clarisse, and her unblinking gaze somehow managed to frighten her. To be exact, she felt a sense of guilt wash over her as Nancy looked at her. Clarisse was about to say something else when Henry walked over with a glass of water in his hands. He gave Clarisse a nonchalant glance before handing the water to Nancy. "Nancy, why don’t you try and see if the water tem

Mateo narrowed his eyes as he placed his hands on the armrest and huffed cooly. "Come on, Clarisse Baker. You’re from a noble family, and should know to use your brain in deciding what to do in places like these!” “You… You have no right to criticize me, Mateo Hoffman. A man who pulled nothing but lowly tricks from his sleeves is not even the slightest bit trustworthy to me!”The corner of Mateo’s lips curved upward. “Which one of us do you think is more lowly? I’ll let what happened today slide, but some incidents have happened many years ago, and you should stop harping over what will never belong to you.” … “Mr. Mateo and the others have settled in. Mr Hoffman. Also…” Ronald leaned toward Charles as he spoke, and Charles narrowed his eyes slightly before he nodded and asked, “Alright, got it. Where is Mrs. Hoffman?”“Mrs. Hoffman is over there,” Ronald said as he pointed at the woman in conversation with Arya and Brian. “Mrs. Hoffman has been with her department colleagues a

The man had on a silver-colored suit with the collar of his white shirt peeking above his suit, and it made him seem extremely tall and elegant. He cast his gaze downward to the woman standing before him without even an ounce of emotion in his eyes.The woman had on a white-colored evening gown, and as she stood beside the man, the two seemed to make a striking pair. The man seemed to have an innate ability to attract everyone’s attention. Thus, both he and the woman became the object of everyone’s attention after she came to stand beside him. It was not just the Collosus Group employees present but also the celebrities under Royal Star and the influential figures of the Hoffman family, who all had surprised looks on their faces when they saw Winter walking toward Charles. Everyone directed their attention toward Charles’s expression. The man did not say anything but merely pursed his lips together as he curled the corners of his lips upward into a slight smile. His dark-colored e

Winter stumbled several steps backward as Janet shoved her away. Thankfully, Suzy, who was there with her, reached out and steadied her. Suzy leaned toward Winter and asked, “Are you alright?” A somewhat embarrassed look appeared on Winter’s face as she shook her head. "I’m alright.” Then, she steadied herself and drew in a deep breath as she turned to Janet. "Young lady, may I know who you are?” “You’re the young lady. Your entire family are young ladies.” Janet’s impression of Winter was not a favorable one, and she immediately shot back at Winter upon hearing what she said without attempting to save her any grace at all. Then, she turned to Charles and said, “Charles, who on earth is this woman? Why is she addressing you as her uncle? We grew up together, but why haven’t I ever seen this woman?” Janet refused to back down, and a fire seemed to roar in her eyes as she said, “Don’t think you’re all that just because you’re well-dressed. Since everyone in the Hoffman family and t

Clarisse let out a cold laugh. "So, that's who you're referring to? But who told you he's related to us? Not everyone named Hoffman is part of our Hoffman family."As soon as Clarisse said this, Winter's expression became even more rigid. She froze and bit her lip, looking rather awkward.Throughout the entire exchange, Charles did not say a word. He simply observed the scene with a detached expression, allowing everyone to talk without intervening.Charles' demeanor made his stance clear—he was never one to be controlled by anyone. Winter's attempt to manipulate him was obviously not up to par, and Charles had no interest in engaging with someone like her.Realizing this, Winter quickly grew fearful. It turned out Charles was indeed just as the rumors described, and she realized she had made a misstep today.Not only had she miscalculated, but she had also embarrassed herself and dragged down Joseph and Xavier with her.Winter gritted her teeth, trying to think of a way to salva

"But…" Winter could not stand it. She had indeed made a name for herself at this event, but not in the way she wanted. It was a blow to her pride, especially with that wretched Noelle present.Winter glanced over at Noelle, who was chatting with the man next to her. Her eyes flashed with irritation. She discreetly took out her phone, snapping a few photos of Noelle.Suzy noticed and asked, "What are you doing?""Nothing!" Winter quickly put away her phone and then looked in Janet's direction. "Who exactly is that woman?""Didn't you hear her greeting Charles' parents just now? If I'm not mistaken, she should be Janet Baker, Charles' uncle's daughter.""Janet Baker…" Winter gritted her teeth, making a mental note of Janet's name. She would make sure Janet paid for the humiliation she suffered today."Just hold your horses for now. Charles didn't say anything more earlier, and it seems he doesn't particularly like Janet either.""Really?" Winter's eyes brightened. "If that's the c

"Your mom is a homewrecker, a vixen who destroys other people's families.""You're the daughter of a mistress. My mom says you're an illegitimate child!""We don't want to play with you! My mom says no one wants you because you're just a bastard!""Go away! We don't want to play with someone as dirty as you!"…"Mommy, Mommy, why don't you want me?"Liliana felt so cold.It was her first winter in Brookville after coming from the misty waters of Jacksonville, and the chill seeped deep into her bones.The Hoffman residence was enormous, yet Liliana still felt cold—not just from the weather but from the people. Their gazes were cold and indifferent. Even at school, the way those elite students looked at her was filled with mockery.She was only five when her mother brought her to this bustling metropolis, leading her straight to this grand yet icy mansion.The people here were dressed elegantly, so dazzling that it was impossible to look away. However, when they looked at her a

Even though she loved him deeply now, Noelle still felt as if a part of her memory was missing. It seemed unfair to Charles.Charles simply smiled, lowering his head to place a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips."Alright. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you." He agreed, his tone warm and unwavering. "But before that, I think we have something more important to do.""What is it?" Noelle looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with a misty glow that made Charles' heart ripple."Our wedding night, of course, Mrs. Hoffman."Noelle's face turned bright red in an instant. "But… we're in a hotel, not Phoenix Tree Residence!""It doesn't matter where we are. As long as I have you, that's all that matters."Tonight, every word Charles spoke was as if dipped in honey, making Noelle's heart race. She stole a shy glance at him. "But… my brother and the others are still outside—""Forget about them."Without another word, Charles scooped her up and carried her straight to the bed, b

"Charlie, I forgot about you. Tell me the truth—are you angry?"Charles sighed. "No, how could I ever be angry with you?"He reached out and gently tucked a strand of Noelle's hair behind her ear. Seeing the seriousness in her eyes, he let out a soft chuckle. "Even if you never remember me for the rest of your life, I still wouldn't be angry.""Really?"Charles nodded.Noelle hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to look straight at him. "Charlie… if—just hypothetically—if things between me and Xavier had never gone wrong… If Winter never came between us and I was still with Xavier… What would you have done? Would you have just watched me get engaged to him? Marry him? And then—"Before she could finish, Charles pressed a finger against her lips, silencing her.Noelle blinked and saw that his gaze had deepened. He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist."No. That would never happen," he said firmly. The very thought of her with someone else, marrying someone else

The moment Noelle finished speaking, the world seemed to fall silent.Charles' lips curved into a faint smile, his eyes glinting with amusement. Yet if one looked closely, there was a serious intensity in his gaze as he fixed it on Noelle. "Hmm? What did my wife just say?"Noelle shot him a sharp glare. "I don't care. Whatever it is, you're not allowed to read it. Give it back!"She pouted, her expression just as serious and determined.Charles raised an eyebrow, surprised by how adamant she was.Though curiosity tugged at him, he would not force her if she felt so strongly about it. "Alright, I won't read it."Hearing this, Noelle exhaled in relief and reached out her hand. "Then give it back."Charles' eyes glimmered with amusement. "I promise I won't read it now, but I'll wait for the day you show it to me yourself."After saying that, he placed the diary into Noelle's hand. Instead of letting her go, however, he pulled her into an embrace as if he wanted to merge her into h
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1832
So, that was why the name felt so familiar—because Noelle had known Charles since she was a child.No wonder, the first time she met him, his gaze had seemed to pierce right through her as if he were looking for someone else. Had he been looking at her all along?Noelle reached up and touched her own face, realization washing over her. The memories she had lost all this time… They were about Charles?Her emotions swelled uncontrollably. Moving carefully, she knelt before him, her gaze fixed intently on his face. She compared his features to the descriptions she had recorded in her diary.With a trembling hand, she reached out, stopping just shy of touching his cheek.She simply watched him, quietly, taking in his features. They were so similar to the ones she had once described in her diary. A sudden chuckle escaped her lips.Even though she still could not recall the details of how they had met, she could tell from her own words just how much she must have liked him back then. O

Noelle smiled softly. "It's nothing. He probably just drank too much."Tania handed her a cup. "Here's some honey water. Let my brother drink some later."She paused for a moment before adding, "Don't worry about Ice and Glitter. Peter and I will take care of them.""Thank you, Tania." Noelle had indeed been worrying about the babies.The adults could stay up celebrating, but Connor and Nora were only two months old. They needed rest."It's nothing," Tania reassured her. "This is such a big day for you two. Don't worry, we'll take good care of the kids. Most of the guests have already left, and Grandpa and the others have gone home too."Noelle nodded. "What about you?""Peter and I will take Bran home soon, but we'll stop by Phoenix Tree Residence first to check on the babies.""Alright.""Just stay here and rest for now. Sean and the others are still partying pretty hard. I doubt they'll be leaving anytime soon."After Tania left, Noelle tested the temperature of the honey
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1830
This wedding was nothing short of spectacular. Every moment was meticulously recorded by a dedicated team, with cameras set up throughout the venue to capture every detail of the ceremony from all angles.Charles and Noelle barely had a moment to rest as they moved from table to table, toasting guests with endless glasses of wine. The atmosphere remained lively and joyous deep into the night. It was not until the early hours of the morning that Noelle finally helped Charles to a private lounge on the second floor of the hotel.Though many had stepped in to shield them from excessive drinking, there was no avoiding the celebratory nature of the occasion. The alcohol had inevitably taken its toll. After settling Charles onto the couch, Noelle fetched some honey water and a warm towel before returning to his side.Charles lay slightly on his side, propping his chin up with one hand. Noelle sat beside him and handed him the towel, but he did not reach for it.Sighing, she called soft

Sean clicked his tongue, shaking his head in amusement. "Charles, your body is here, but your heart is clearly somewhere else."Then, as if making an even bigger discovery, he gestured toward a spot not far away. "Oh, I say, Charles, this is a real crisis. See that?"With the enthusiasm of someone who thrived on drama, Sean pointed at Noelle and Grant. "I don't know, man. That guy doesn't look like he's here with good intentions."Charles raised an eyebrow, his gaze darkening as it settled on Noelle and Grant. He gripped his glass a little tighter, but his eyes refused to move away from them. Still, his words were dismissive. "He's just another big brother-in-law. That's all.""Yeah, right. Just admit it—he's a strong rival."The second Sean finished speaking, he felt an icy stare pierce through him. Charles' glare was sharp enough to cut. "Hmm? What did you just say?""Nothing!" Sean swallowed hard, instantly backtracking. Dear god, a jealous man was terrifying!"You think he's

Grant's eyes carried too many emotions—too many things unspoken. Noelle could not fully understand, but she could sense that there was something significant behind his words.The diary in her hands had to hold something important that was possibly related to the past she had forgotten. Perhaps they were the lost pieces of her memory that she had always assumed were not crucial.She had assumed so because otherwise, she would have recalled them after all these years. Besides, they had not seemed to affect her life in any meaningful way.Over time, she had gradually let go of the idea of remembering.Yet now, with Grant handing her this diary, an unsettling feeling crept over her as if she had forgotten something incredibly important—something she could not afford to lose.Holding the diary tightly, Noelle felt a strange mix of emotions that she could not quite describe.She hesitated before murmuring, "Thank you."In the end, she did not ask Grant where he had gotten the diary.
