Noelle nodded. "Of course, I won't say anything. But…" She still felt a bit worried. "What if things between Peter and Tania don't improve? Tania mentioned she doesn't plan to stay long.""You don't need to worry about that," Charles said with a smile as he took her hand and led her out of the study."Knowing Peter's personality, now that Tania is back, he's not going to let her go that easily." After waiting for three years, there was no way he would let her slip away.…Since Charles had work the next day, Noelle went to the hospital with Tania. Nancy's condition could not afford any delays, and each day added to the risk. Tania sought out Sean directly. "Mr. Smith!""Why if it isn't my sister-in-law!" Sean greeted with a harmless smile when he saw Tania. He even pulled up a chair for her. "Please take a seat."Tania glanced at Sean. "Mr. Smith, I've already divorced Peter, so I don't deserve to be called your sister-in-law. You can just call me Tania."Sean narrowed his eyes

Noelle was peeling an apple for Nancy when she looked up and saw Tania standing at the door. She smiled and said, "Tania, you're back?"The room fell silent, and the first to react was Brandon. He climbed down from Peter's lap and ran over to Tania, wrapping his little arms around her legs. "Mommy, Mr. Lennon said he's taking me to the amusement park.""Amusement park?" Tania frowned and looked at Peter in surprise."What are you doing here?" Tania's tone was not friendly. She had been so focused on Brandon that she had not noticed Peter's presence. Seeing how much Brandon seemed to like Peter, a hint of worry appeared on her face.Peter watched Brandon jump off his lap. He was concerned that Brandon might hurt himself. Even as Brandon ran to Tania, Peter's gaze remained soft, filled with a gentle warmth.Sensing the tension in the air, Noelle quickly intervened, "Peter came to check on Aunt Nancy. By the way, Tania, what did the doctor say?"She handed the task of peeling apples
The Cherished Wife Chapter 896
Tania claimed that Brandon was not Peter's child, but judging by the way Brandon acted around Peter, the affection between them could not be faked.Peter, who was usually so high and mighty, treated Brandon with such care even though Tania had claimed that the boy was not his. It showed just how deeply Peter loved Tania.Noelle did not know exactly what had transpired between the two of them, but she secretly hoped they could start over. However, thinking about Tania's marriage made Noelle worry that Peter's path might be a difficult one.Watching the heartwarming scene unfold before her, Noelle could not resist taking a photo and sending it to Charles. "Charlie, look at this. Don't they look like a happy little family?"Charles was in the middle of a meeting with senior executives. He had strictly ordered that phones were not allowed during meetings, and even if someone brought one, it had to be on silent.However, while a certain department head was giving his report, a ringtone

Sean let out a chuckle. "You're quite considerate of others," he said as he walked toward his office, with Noelle following behind."Of course. Peter is Charlie's good friend, and Tania is Charlie's cousin. Naturally, I hope this all ends well. Besides, Brandon…""What about Brandon?" Sean, who had only met the child briefly, already found him quite likable. "He looks a lot like Peter, doesn't he?""You think so too?" Noelle's eyes brightened. "Look, I secretly recorded this video earlier when they weren't paying attention."She handed her phone to Sean, who watched the video and nodded in approval. "Impressive work, Noelle!""But don't worry. Even if Tania leaves now, Peter has ways to bring her back. He has always been persistent when it comes to Tania."Sean had witnessed their relationship back in the day and knew Peter was not someone who gave up easily."Speaking of Aunt Nancy's health, Tania plans to undergo some tests soon. Then, they'll schedule the surgery. We've discu

"No way!" Charles refused immediately without a second thought. "I don't feel comfortable with you going alone. How about you take Peter with you?""I..." Noelle was momentarily stunned, thinking Charles was being overly cautious for no reason. However, hearing the firmness in his voice, she realized she did not have much of a choice. She sighed and agreed reluctantly, "Alright, I'll go look for Peter."After hanging up the phone, Noelle glanced at Sean. "Charlie said it's fine. I'll go prepare the ingredients. See you tonight at Phoenix Tree Residence."On Charles' end, he ended the call and immediately dialed Peter's number. At that moment, Peter was with Brandon, chatting away, while Tania kept a close eye on him. It was as if she feared Peter would run off with Brandon at any second.Peter squinted. "You don't need to watch me like a hawk.""Give Brandon back to me," Tania demanded.Peter smirked. "Alright, come and take him.""You..." Tania was livid as she glared at Peter.

"I think Brandon quite likes the idea," Peter said calmly."You..." Tania was at a loss for words.At that moment, Noelle knocked on the door, interrupting them. "Peter, could you come with me for a moment?"Peter's expression softened when he saw Noelle. He nodded. "Charles just called me.""Yeah, sorry to trouble you. Charlie's worried about me going alone. Mr. Smith is busy at work, so you're my only option."Peter nodded and handed Brandon back to Tania. "Let's go."Tania almost could not reach out to Brandon in time, and almost immediately, Brandon began to cry."Mr. Lennon doesn't want to take me out. Mr. Lennon is a bad person!"Peter was already at the door when he heard Brandon's cries. He stopped, glancing back at Tania.Tania bit her lip. She had not expected Brandon to get so attached to Peter. Seeing Peter leave, Brandon wriggled out of her arms, his little legs quickly carrying him over to Peter.He grabbed Peter's leg with both arms, looking up with tear-filled

"And what about me?" Noelle asked with a playful, sad expression. "Brandon, do you only want your mommy and Mr. Lennon and not me?""Aunt Noelle, don't be sad! I like you too!" Brandon quickly ran over and gently took Noelle's hand, his small hand grasping hers as if he were comforting her. "I like Aunt Noelle the most! Aunt Noelle, come with us!""Such a sweet boy!" Noelle could not help but be charmed by him, and she lightly pinched Brandon's cheek. "Alright, let's go together!" She held his hand and started walking while Tania anxiously followed them.Peter reached out and grabbed Tania's hand, making her freeze.She quickly pulled her hand away and glared at Peter with cold, hard eyes. "Mr. Lennon, please behave yourself."Peter raised an eyebrow. "I am behaving. Not grabbing you fully is already me showing you a lot of restraint, Tania.""I should really thank you, huh?" Tania's eyes twitched with irritation, her voice filled with gritted anger."Mr. Lennon, your shamelessn

"Brandon, stop!" Tania cut him off, her voice tinged with hesitation. "Listen to me. You're not well enough to go to the amusement park.""But I wanna go!" Brandon's bottom lip quivered, and his eyes brimmed with tears."Why make the kid cry? If he wants to go, we should just go," Peter said, his heart sinking at the sight of Brandon's tears. He walked over and gently took Brandon's hand. "How about I take you tomorrow, champ?""Really? Yay!" Brandon's tears vanished, replaced by a beaming smile. "I wanna go with you. You're the best!""However, ..." Tania bit her lip, worry creasing her brow. "Brandon, he...""Tania, relax. We'll all be there to keep an eye on him," Noelle chimed in, sensing Tania's anxiety. "Is something wrong with Brandon?""No, nothing at all!" Tania quickly shook her head, trying to dismiss her concerns. "Weren't we going to go to the mall?""Yeah, that's the plan," Noelle replied with a grin. "Peter, my car's too small for everyone. How about yours?""Giv

"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
