Tania chewed on her lip, unable to come up with a comeback. After all, Charles was her big brother, and he had a way with words that just left her speechless.Once Tania settled down, Charles fired up the engine, and they were on their way.Meanwhile, Peter was having the time of his life with Brandon. Noelle, feeling a bit worn out, took a seat to catch her breath. She watched Peter and Brandon's playful banter from the get-go and could not resist capturing the heartwarming father-son moments on her phone.Brandon was clearly smitten with Peter, looking up at him with wide-eyed admiration. Giggling, he tugged on Peter's hand, dashing from one spot to another, their laughter filling the air.Noelle's heart swelled with joy at the sight, and she dreamed a little about her future kids with Charles.In the midst of snapping photos, Noelle's phone rang. It was Charles. "Charles?""Still at the amusement park?" came Charles's voice. Noelle quirked an eyebrow. "Yep, Brandon's having a

"Sure thing!" Brandon clapped his hands, his face lighting up with excitement.Peter squinted playfully. "Alright, let's go have some more fun!""Hold on!"Tania spotted Peter about to walk off with Brandon in his arms and quickly intervened, scooping Brandon into her own arms. "Why are you taking Brandon out?" she demanded, her eyes drilling into Peter. "I've told you before that Brandon isn't your son. Why would you...""Tania, it's not every day that Brandon gets to have fun outside. I don't want to waste our time arguing about his dad. We can sort that out later," Peter cut in, trying to keep his voice calm. "Seriously, how have you been raising him? He's three now, and it's high time he started meeting people. Keeping him cooped up at home isn't good for him, you know. It could mess with his head.""That's enough, Peter. What gives you the right to judge me? You're nothing to Brandon and me. Just so you know, if you ever take him again without asking me, I won't hesitate to c

Charles's striking face loomed close, making her blink. She let out an awkward chuckle and touched her nose. "Charles, what's with the intense stare?"A playful twinkle danced in Charles's eyes. "If you're so fond of kids, why don't we make one of our own?"Make one?Noelle's heart pounded a chaotic rhythm, and she blinked, her cheeks burning as she looked at Charles, particularly into those gorgeous eyes of his. She swallowed hard. "Well... I think it’ll happen when it’s meant to happen!”"So, my lady, are you saying you'd like to have one too?" Charles slid his arm around Noelle's shoulders, drawing her in.Side by side on the bench, Noelle rested her head lightly against Charles's shoulder, peering up at his profile. "Uh..." Did she mean it? Maybe she had not considered it too much!No matter what, Noelle had a soft spot for kids, and Brandon, with his cuteness overload, was no exception. Whenever she pictured her own future kids being as sweet as him, her heart just melted. "

Noelle expressed that trying to figure out Charles' thoughts was impossible. Even she could not guess what he was thinking.As they chatted, Noelle suddenly demanded ice cream. In this weather, Charles did not want her to eat ice cream, but she kept insisting. Finally, Charles relented and let Noelle drag him to the convenience store.Peter watched Tania and Brandon playing together with a satisfied smile on his face. Then, his phone rang.Glancing at the screen, he saw it was a call from the family residence. "Hello?""It's me!" Xylos' voice came from the other end. "Come home."Peter narrowed his eyes. "Is there something you need?"In recent years, Peter hardly ever went back to the Lennon residence, not even for holidays. The Lennons did not seem to miss him, and he did not miss them either. However, if his grandfather was calling, it had to be important.Sure enough, Xylos continued, "Your Uncle Jack is back. Come home immediately."Peter's already cold gaze turned icier.
The Cherished Wife Chapter 927
"Pete, come back. You haven't seen Jack in years." Xylos sighed after saying this. "I heard… that woman has also returned?"Peter looked up, meeting Tania's gaze with a smirk on his face. "Are you talking about Tania, Grandpa?" he asked with a raised brow. "Did Jamie tell you, or was it Uncle Jack?""Your Uncle Jack? How could he… What do you mean?"Peter interrupted, "Since you're so keen on me returning, then I'll come back. I'll even bring you a grand gift!"Peter hung up, casting a complex glance at Tania.The moment she met his eyes, Tania's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Brandon's hand. Peter's gaze was… intense.Peter walked over, crouched down, and gently patted Brandon's head. Noticing he was sweating, Peter took a towel and wiped his forehead. "Bran, let's call it a day, alright?""But…" Brandon hesitated, looking at Tania. Then, with a sigh of understanding, he nodded. "Okay. Mr. Peter, will you bring me here again?""Of course. As

Peter dragged Tania toward the parking lot, but she immediately shook off his hand. "Enough. I told you I don't want to hear it, and I don't care about you and Riley anymore.""You—""Mom, are you mad? Don't be mad at Daddy, please." Brandon's soft voice interrupted. Tania froze, looking at Brandon with a complex expression.With innocent eyes, Brandon added, "Daddy is so nice. Please don't be angry with him."Not only Tania but even Peter was taken aback. "Brandon, what did you just call me?"Brandon lowered his head shyly, his little fingers tapping together nervously. "Daddy! Don't you like it? But I really want you to be my dad!"Peter paused. "Yes, I like it… I love it!""Brandon!" Tania cried out. "He's not your father. He's… He's Mr. Peter… You can just think of him as your uncle."As soon as Tania said this, Peter's expression darkened. "Tania!" he said through gritted teeth. "Is this really what you're teaching our child?"Tania pressed her lips together. "His father

Charles raised an eyebrow, his captivating eyes locked on Noelle with a hint of amusement that was almost dazzling.Noelle felt overwhelmed by his gaze. Gently, he took her finger and wrapped it in his hand, giving it a soft squeeze as he spoke with warmth, "I've done far more shameless things before, so this doesn't count for much."Leaning closer, he propped one hand on the bench and slid his other arm around her waist, pulling her tightly against him. Their bodies pressed closely together, and Noelle felt her heartbeat quicken.As Charles' face drew near, she gulped nervously. She was holding her ice cream in one hand while attempting to push against his chest with the other. "Stop… Don't come so close!" Any nearer, and she felt she would barely be able to breathe—especially under the intensity of his gaze.Charles smirked. "Did you just call me shameless?""No, no… Y-You're pure as the breeze, noble and upright. Clearly, you're a gentleman who's far from shameless!" The mo

Tania froze for a moment. "Peter, you're a jerk!"Peter smirked. "If I'm a jerk, what does that make you?"Grinding her teeth, Tania shot him a fierce glare. "I've seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless!"Peter just kept smiling. "When we get back, feel free to ignore everyone. If they throw you any attitude, throw it right back. Whatever they do, do the opposite. If someone insults you, insult them back; if they try to start a fight, make sure you strike first!"As Peter drove, he gave these instructions to Tania with an air of seriousness. Initially, she had no intention of listening. However, with Peter's non-stop talking, she finally gave in. She felt exasperated. "Fine, I get it. Basically, you want me to oppose the Lennons and, if possible, annoy a few of them to death, right?"Peter narrowed his long eyes, and the corner of his mouth lifted. "Exactly. I have faith in your abilities."Tania scoffed. "Let me tell you, Peter. If your old man keels ove

Charles furrowed his brows tightly at Noelle's words. "Nelly, Kelly will be fine. You have to trust me."He reached out to gently rub her back, soothing her until she finally calmed down. However, once Noelle was settled, his expression darkened completely.Peter's people had been searching for three days, but there was still no sign of Kelly. The tracking chip Charles had implanted in her had long been removed by Yves, leaving them with no way to trace her location.Charles sat by Noelle's bedside, watching as she fell into a deep sleep under Linda's acupuncture treatment, yet his heart remained unsettled.Linda looked at Noelle and sighed helplessly. "Mr. Hoffman, while Noelle's condition is stable for now and the virus hasn't flared up, she's still pregnant. Any stress or anxiety could be dangerous for her. No matter how skilled I am, I won't be able to help if she keeps worrying like this."She handed Charles another prescription. He took it, and his brows were tightly knitted

"Ms. Anderson, you should worry about yourself instead! Even if Mr. Yves remembers you in the future, I'm afraid your situation will be far worse than this. I told you before—I won't let you die so easily. So, Ms. Anderson, just stay here and make yourself comfortable!" Elon spat."Elon, once Yves finds out, he'll kill you. He will."The only response Kelly received was the heavy clang of the cell door slamming shut.She used every ounce of strength to scream, but after Elon left, all that remained was pain—unbearable, all-consuming pain.She trembled violently, shivering as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar, yet moments later, it felt as if she were being scorched alive.Kelly writhed on the floor, the torment so excruciating that she nearly passed out.Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes as she closed them.She suddenly recalled the first time she had met Yves. She had infuriated him, and she had blurted out in a fit of defiance, "Only by falling in love with yo
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1633
Kelly let out a cold chuckle. "Is that so? Then why hasn't Yves killed me yet? Shouldn't he have killed me the moment I tore off his mask and discovered his identity?"She struggled to her feet, but the iron chains around her ankles were secured to the floor. She barely took a few steps before the chains yanked her back, causing her to fall heavily onto the ground.Pain radiated through her body, and a sharp sting shot through her palms as they scraped against the rough surface. She winced, sucking in a breath.Her ankle, caught in the unforgiving grip of the iron shackle, twisted painfully.Forcing herself up, Kelly looked at Elon. "Locking me up here… Is that truly Yves' decision?"Elon remained silent. He knelt before her, gripping her jaw forcefully before she could react. In one swift motion, he shoved a small pill into her mouth.Kelly clamped her lips shut, struggling against him. However, Elon's grip was ruthless. He squeezed her cheeks hard to force her mouth open and pu

Peter's men immediately sprang into action. Since Kelly had disappeared from the villa, they started their search from there.While they were looking for Kelly, Elon had already moved her to another location. Kelly had no idea where she was.She only remembered that after Yves left, the man who had always been by his side appeared, striking her across the face. She blacked out instantly.When she woke up again, she found herself lying on an icy, damp surface. The air was cold, and she had no clue where she was.She struggled to sit up, only to realize that heavy iron chains shackled her wrists and ankles. The room was pitch-black without a single trace of light.Kelly groped around in the darkness, but she could not make out anything. In such a void, her hearing became especially sensitive. She caught the sound of approaching footsteps.Moments later, the door creaked open, allowing a sliver of light to pierce through the darkness. The sudden brightness momentarily blinded her. W

"I actually wasn't certain of his identity either. It was just my own speculation." Simon sat back down, stretching his legs lazily."He's been making some big moves in the York family lately, which isn't like him at all. My people reported that he's been frequently appearing at that villa. I got bored and decided to check it out, and just like that, I stumbled upon a massive secret."He spoke nonchalantly as if it were no big deal. "I'm not particularly interested in the Hoffmans' old grudges, but this document you handed me, Mr. Hoffman… I find it interesting."Charles smirked. "Here's to a successful collaboration."Simon raised an eyebrow. "As long as it doesn't involve me getting my hands dirty, I don't really care."He casually flipped through the documents Charles had given him. "How did you figure this out?""With enough effort, anything can be uncovered. I've always thought that someone like you shouldn't be limited to playing such a minor role.""Mr. Hoffman, flattery

Charles remained silent, and his unreadable gaze was fixed on Simon.After a long pause, Simon was the first to break the silence with a chuckle. "No wonder he's so cautious, carefully planning for years just to counter you. Charles, you truly are a formidable opponent."He stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Should I be grateful that we're not on opposing sides? Otherwise, you'd probably scheme against me as well, wouldn't you?"Charles stood up, slipping his hands into his pockets. "I'll be waiting for your good news.""Charles!" Simon stood up as well. "How can you be so sure I'll cooperate? What if I refuse?""You won't."Their gazes locked in mid-air, and Charles' eyes were filled with unwavering certainty.Simon shrugged. "Alright then.""So, you knew about his identity all along?" Simon asked, genuinely curious about Charles' endgame.Charles' dark eyes glimmered faintly. "I found out not long ago."Had he not been cautious, he might still be unaware of the true motives be

Simon raised an eyebrow and nodded, but his gaze remained on Noelle. She noticed him as well and gave him a slight nod. "Mr. York, it's been a while."Simon's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of mischief. "Indeed, it has."Sensing a sudden shift in the atmosphere, Simon arched an eyebrow and shot Charles a sidelong glance before chuckling."Come on, Charles. I'm your invited guest, aren't I? The way you're looking at me is making me nervous."Charles merely let out a cold snort. "Mr. York, let's talk privately."With that, the two of them moved to the hospital room next door. Simon quickly realized that the room had been converted into a personal office—or rather, a surveillance hub.He had noticed something off about the hospital's atmosphere the moment he arrived. There were very few patients, and while the place seemed quiet, the entire area was heavily guarded. Charles had his men stationed everywhere, making it nearly impossible for anyone without serious skil

Simon could not help but chuckle at Linda's words.It was only then that Linda seemed to notice his presence. She frowned at this uninvited guest and snapped. "What are you laughing at? Careful, or I'll gouge your eyeballs out!""Tsk, tsk, for someone so young, why are you already so vicious?" Simon shook his head in feigned helplessness, his tone filled with mockery. He even gave Linda a look of exaggerated disdain.Linda had always appreciated good-looking people and admired all things aesthetically pleasing. However, when she saw Simon's overly charming face, something strange happened. She did not swoon like she usually would. Instead, she found him rather annoying.She rested her chin on her hand, scrutinizing Simon with an expression far too mature for her age.Simon also found this young lady amusing. Judging by her actions, she was likely skilled in medicine—probably quite skilled.Otherwise, with how cautious Charles was, he would never have entrusted Noelle's life to a

Elon clenched his fists tightly at Yves' command.This woman was nothing but trouble—Yves' greatest weakness. Elon regretted not killing her years ago when he had the chance.If she had been eliminated back then, none of this would be happening now. Her presence was creating cracks in what had once been a flawless plan.Due to this woman, Yves was now willingly stepping into danger, even engaging with Charles and Steven ahead of schedule. She could not be allowed to stay."Yes, I'll ensure Ms. Anderson's safety," Elon replied.Yves cast him a cold glance before finally leaving the villa.…Meanwhile, after leaving the villa, Simon had the distinct feeling that someone was following him. However, Simon was not just anyone. He might seem carefree on the surface, but in reality, he was the most discreet and unpredictable of the York family's three sons.To outsiders, he appeared to be the least accomplished among the York siblings, but it was precisely this harmless facade that ma
