The Cherished Wife Chapter 933
Xylos finally fainted for real. "Call a car, quickly! Lance!"Caleb and Ari rushed over, and the Lennons descended into chaos.As Ari passed by Tania, she cast a look of utter hatred. She was practically seething with the desire to tear her apart. She even raised her hand, attempting to slap Tania. "You wretched woman, you jinx!"However, Tania's gaze turned icy as she caught Ari's wrist in an iron grip, squeezing it firmly. "Wretched? Are you insulting yourself, Ari? Wait. Actually, I outrank you now. Aren't I basically your aunt now?""You… You…" Ari trembled with rage. She then cast a pleading look at Jack. "Uncle Jack, she…""Enough!"Peter grabbed Tania's hand and shoved Ari back, his intense gaze drilling into her. "Have you forgotten what I said? If anyone in the Lennons ever dared to touch Tania, I'd make you regret it.""Are you out of your mind?" Ari screamed. "Pete, I'm your sister! This wretched woman…""Tania is my wife, and I only have two family members—Tania a

"Love? Mr. Lennon, please don't joke with me. The only reason I got together with you was because Brandon needed a father, a complete family. There was never any real possibility for us!" Tania stated coldly."You saw it just now. Your father can't stand the sight of me. I practically send him into a fit every time he sees me. For his health, it's best if we end this relationship."With that, Tania shook off Peter's hand and strode out of the Lennon residence.Peter cast a cool glance at Jack and smirked. "Welcome back, Uncle Jack. Lennon Group is yours, and no one will take it from you."After delivering his message, Peter followed Tania out. Jack clenched his fists, his gaze dark and intense, brimming with fury as he stood away from the other Lennon family members. "Uncle Jack, Peter and Tania must be lying, right? You never married Tania, did you?" Ari asked, clinging to Jack's arm. Jack, however, shook her off in disgust. "You don't believe them, but do you doubt my words t

Peter glanced at Tania. "You probably didn't hear me clearly before. I said I only have two people I consider family now—you and our son, Brandon."As he spoke, he looked at Tania with intensity, and her heart began to pound rapidly. That feeling had actually been lingering ever since he made that statement.At that moment, she was taken aback, but given the circumstances, she tried her best to ignore Peter. Now, however, it was just the three of them in the car. There was only Brandon, who did not fully understand the situation, leaving no room for her to pretend.Peter continued watching her closely. When he noticed her obvious discomfort, he gave a slight smile. "Tania, give me another chance. You know it's true. There's never been anyone else but you."Tania turned her head toward the window. "But my relationship with Jack…""He could never really marry you," Peter said firmly. "A person like him would never make that commitment.""Even if that's the case, do you honestly thi
The Cherished Wife Chapter 936
When Tania was with Peter before, Zara had treated her as though she were her own daughter. Tania had grown up without a mother's love. Even after returning to the Hoffmans, her relationship with Nancy never truly felt like that of a mother and daughter.By then, she was already an adult and married to Peter, which made it even harder for her to feel close to Nancy.However, it had been different with Zara. Zara had stayed at Five Elements Residence to care for Peter through all the years he was cast out by the Lennons. She gave up everything to be by his side, treating him as her own son.As Peter's wife, Tania received the same warmth from Zara, who spared no effort in fulfilling any request Tania made."Oh, Ms. Tania, I've missed you too!" Zara said, her voice thick with emotion. Tania had been gone for three years, and in that time, Peter had been noticeably dispirited.Most people could not see it, assuming Peter was strong and unbreakable. However, as the person who had been

Zara was thrilled when she learned Tania was coming back and rushed to the kitchen to start preparing a meal, eagerly awaiting her arrival. Peter wore a smile the entire time, making Tania almost wonder if he was under a spell.She knew Peter might be overthinking things. Sometimes, she genuinely wished he would not overanalyze everything. However, perhaps it was better to let things go as they would. If he misunderstood, then so be it.Soon, the car pulled up to Five Elements Residence. Tania got out with Brandon, and after parking the car, Peter joined them. "Let me carry Brandon," he offered."No need. Brandon can walk on his own," Tania declined and set Brandon down. "Brandon has grown up now. He's a little man and doesn't need to be carried all the time. Isn't that right, Bran?"Brandon nodded earnestly. "I know that Mommy is tired!"Tania felt a touch of pride and smiled warmly, but her expression shifted when Brandon added, "But Daddy isn't tired. Daddy says he likes me. Da

As soon as Brandon heard Tania's words, his big, bright eyes sparkled like stars. "Hello, Grandma! I'm Brandon, Daddy and Mommy's son!"His soft, sweet voice was absolutely adorable, melting Zara's heart completely. "Ah, what a good child. Brandon, was it? I love you very much!" Zara gently squeezed Brandon's tiny hand, her eyes filling with tears."This is wonderful. Truly wonderful." She felt that even if she passed away right then, she would be utterly content."Grandma, why are you crying? Don't cry!" Brandon stretched out his little hand to wipe Zara's tears. "Mommy says when you're happy, you should smile. Grandma, don't cry. Is Daddy bullying you?"I'll stand up for you, Grandma. Daddy says you're his mom, so it wouldn't be right for Daddy to bully you. Look, I don't bully my mommy!"Both Tania and Zara burst into laughter at Brandon's innocent words. Zara wiped away her tears, smiling. "No, your daddy treats me very well—very well, indeed. I'm crying because I'm too happy.

Tania wanted to say something more, but when she saw Zara laughing happily with Brandon in the living room, she held back. "I came here with Brandon just to have a meal. You know that," she said.Peter looked at Tania, his gaze lingering on her, making her feel uncomfortable. Thankfully, Zara noticed them. "Mr. Peter, Ms. Tania, why are you still standing there? Is it because you couldn't find Ms. Tania's slippers? I put them in the shoe cabinet, just as you asked, Mr. Peter. After you mentioned Ms. Tania was back. I even washed them. They're very clean!""We found them, Zara!" Tania forced a smile. She quickly put on the slippers and moved past Peter into the living room.Peter watched her retreating figure for a long moment before finally looking away. There was still time. He believed she would come back one day. He had all the time in the world, so he would wait.Zara chatted with Brandon for a while. "Brandon, are you hungry? I made lots of tasty food! If you're hungry, we c

"It's here."Peter opened the study door, motioning for Tania to step inside. She walked in and realized the room's layout was exactly as it had been years ago, right after she and Peter got married. Nothing had changed in the entire Five Elements Residence.Peter noticed her reaction but said nothing, only gesturing for her to sit. "Go on. If you're here to tell me to give up, I'm not interested in listening."Tania opened her mouth, hesitating. "It's about Brandon."Peter paused, a flicker of concern crossing his gaze."I need you to look into something.""Tell me," he said."A year ago, Brandon was kidnapped. Ever since, he has shown unusual behavior for a child his age. I was worried something was wrong, so I took him to see a psychologist. The doctor said he'd been traumatized and was showing signs of… emotional instability and some developmental delays."Emotional instability? Developmental delays? Peter frowned. Could it really be that serious?However, in the time he h

"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

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
