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

When Peter and Tania went downstairs to the dining room, they heard Zara telling a story to Brandon. Brandon was listening wide-eyed with excitement, his eyes shining as though he were utterly captivated.Peter smirked, slipping one hand into his pocket as he walked over. "Brandon, are you full?""Daddy!" Brandon quickly turned, jumped off his chair, and hugged Peter's leg. "Grandma is amazing! She knows so many stories, even more than Mommy!"Peter narrowed his eyes, glancing at Tania. "Really? And what stories does Mommy tell you?"Brandon tilted his head, thinking. "The Three Bears, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and the Prince and the Frog."He hesitated a little. "Mommy knows lots of stories too, but she only tells me one each night, so she finishes them quickly."Peter grinned. "Is that so? Do you really like listening to stories?"Brandon nodded enthusiastically. "I love it.""Then, how about letting Grandma tell you stories from now on? Sometimes, Mommy gets very tire

"But Dad, you—""That's enough. Say no more. Since he dares to act this way, he needs a lesson to remind him that the Lennons and Lennon Group can manage perfectly well without him," Xylos declared, turning to Jack."Jack, tomorrow, I want you to step in and take over Peter's responsibilities at the company. And Jamie… You're to assist Jack. Understood?""I…" Jamie began, but Ari shot him a look. "Thank you, Grandpa. Jamie has been working hard recently and will fully support Uncle Jack so that he can adjust quickly to Lennon Group's operations."Though Jamie was not thrilled about it, he knew what to say in situations like these and what to hold back. He disliked Jack, but he disliked Peter even more.The idea of Peter being dismissed gave Jamie some satisfaction. He had spent considerable time at Lennon Group, yet he was always overshadowed by Peter—a fact that left him deeply unsettled.Meanwhile, Ari's gaze remained fixed on Jack. She was unable to look away. Frustrated,

"It's good that you understand," Xylos said, patting Jack's hand. "I'm tired. It's been a while since you've been back, so go get some rest. I had the butler prepare your room.""Alright. You take care and rest well."After Jack left, Lance entered to give Xylos his medicine but hesitated.Xylos glanced at him. "You want to ask why I sidelined Peter, don't you?"Lance froze, saying, "I wouldn't dare."Xylos let out a cold laugh. "Peter is too headstrong. If I don't keep him in check, he could end up taking all control over Lennon Group. He… Well, he certainly is a capable leader.""Then why not allow Mr. Peter to inherit the Lennons' legacy? The head of the Lennons has always been someone exceptional, and Mr. Peter… He'd surely expand Lennon Group and elevate the Lennons' name."Xylos sighed deeply. "Yes, but his methods are ruthless. With him in charge, Jack and Jamie wouldn't stand a chance."Shaking his head, he added, "There's no point explaining further. I just hope Jack c

Liliana's piercing scream echoed through the empty underground parking lot. However, there was no one to hear her and no one to witness what was happening to her at that moment. No one knew that this was the beginning of her personal hell.Her voice broke as she gasped for air, her hands desperately pounding against Sean's back as she tried to push him away. However, he only held her tighter.Her fragile body was trapped beneath him, moving in rhythm with his relentless force. She had no idea when it would end.Sean, lost in his own haze, was consumed by the warmth surrounding him. The way her body clenched around him only drove him further into his intoxicated madness. It was not until Liliana's voice had gone completely hoarse that he finally reached his release.Liliana blacked out from exhaustion, and eventually, Sean, too, drifted into a deep sleep while still holding onto her.The night had descended upon her so suddenly, like a storm Liliana never saw coming.When Liliana

The distance was not far, but dragging Sean along had drained nearly all of Liliana's strength. She panted, struggling to keep him upright. "Sean, where are we supposed to go now?"The only response she got was a muffled groan. His body temperature seemed to be rising by the second.Liliana, already struggling under his weight, instinctively reached out and touched his face, only to find it scorching hot. Panic gripped her."Sean!"With no other options, she half-carried, half-dragged him toward the parking lot and finally located his car. Summoning every ounce of strength, she managed to haul him inside, planning to let him sleep it off until he sobered up.After securing him in the seat, she grabbed a bottle of water and began wiping his face. Just as she was about to relax, Sean, who had been completely still moments ago, suddenly stirred.He half-opened his eyes, his gaze locking on Liliana's face. Under the dim car light, her features appeared softer, more delicate.Then, o

"No, we can't stay. Let's go separately. I'll walk you to the entrance!"Liliana told Tania that her family had forbidden her from coming to places like this. She hailed a cab and sent Tania off first.She returned alone, but she had no idea which private room Sean was in. She only knew it was somewhere on the third floor, but the exact location was a mystery.As she anxiously searched for him, she spotted one of Sean's friends coming down the stairs with Joanna following closely behind.At the staircase, Joanna stopped to bid farewell. "Thank you, dude… I…""Go on! Good luck!"The man glanced at Joanna before brushing past Liliana and leaving.Liliana watched Joanna's retreating figure, then saw her head back upstairs. She followed her without hesitation.The server must have assumed she was with Joanna because he did not stop her.Liliana saw Joanna enter a private room, where only Sean and Joanna remained. The others were nowhere to be seen.Peering through the gap in the

"Huh? I'm not outside right now!" Liliana quickly covered the phone's mouthpiece. "I mean... I'm at a classmate's house. Is there something you need, Sean?"She asked the question while glancing nervously around. Spotting Tania trying to slip away, she hurried over to grab her."Tania...""Liliana, I still want more to drink!""Where are you?" Sean's voice came through, and another girl's voice was in the background. "Are you guys drinking?""I...""Do you realize you're not old enough to drink? And it's so late now. You should be at home, not out drinking!" Sean sounded serious, and Liliana almost lost her cool. "No, Sean, I...""Where are you? I'm coming to get you!"Liliana quickly shook her head, even though Sean could not see. "There’s no need for that, Sean. I'm just at a friend's house. She's... She's having a birthday party, and I...""Another birthday party? Didn't she just have one?" Sean remembered clearly. "Tell me where you are.""I... Sean, I've got to go. I can

Sean was only in his second year of college, but he had already finished all his courses and was even starting clinical trials.That was pretty rare at Vista University, and even the colleges in Capiton wished Sean would join them. However, as talented as Sean was, he did not rush through his education. He took everything one step at a time.Many people did not know that Sean was not just thinking about where to do his hospital residency. He had his eye on a hospital he wanted to buy.Joanna was studying medicine too and was a year behind Sean. She was smart and pretty, which made her popular with teachers and students. She got along great with the older students.She had watched a clinical trial with some seniors and got to know them better, especially Sean.Sean might not have noticed, but almost everyone at the college knew Joanna liked him.Today, she was the secret organizer of a get-together that was supposed to be for the seniors, but she made sure Sean was invited.Every

Tania's ruckus drew the attention of several onlookers.Worried about bumping into someone they knew, Liliana quickly ushered Tania away. They had barely made it to the staircase when a melodious voice floated in from behind, "Sean, we owe our fun at The Majestic Lounge to your popularity!""There's no need for that!"Liliana froze, steadying Tania with one hand and leaning on the wall with the other, using Tania's body as a shield. That was when she spotted Sean with an elegant-looking girl in a pale pink dress.They appeared quite close, the girl chatting away and gazing at Sean.Sean was leaning in, listening intently to her words.A few guys were trailing behind them, and upon hearing the girl, they joked, "Hey Joanna, why are you just thanking Sean? What about us?"Liliana's heart raced as Sean and his companions neared. As Sean approached, she quickly grabbed Tania's hand, using it to hide her face.Liliana’s sharp tug gave Tania a twinge of pain. She began to grumble, "L

Liliana got ready. She was excited as she headed out. She had not seen Tania, who looked tanned from the sun and was full of energy, in a month.Tania waved to Liliana from far away. "Liliana, over here!"I'm going to take you to a cool place today!""Where?"Tania pulled Liliana close and whispered, "We're going to a bar!""A bar?" Liliana was curious. "What for?"Tania giggled. "A friend gave me this.” She showed off a shiny gold card. "He said it's time for me to see more of the world!"Liliana grabbed the shiny gold card, and her eyes widened in shock. "The Majestic Lounge?" She stared at Tania, puzzled. "How did you get this?"Not just anyone could get their hands on a gold card from The Majestic Lounge. Most people would not know anything about the place, but as Charles's sister, Liliana was in the know. The Majestic Lounge was one of Charles's private businesses and a secret to most outside the family. Layla had a gold card and often hung out there with her friends.Lil

Charles was unusually quiet for a moment, his finger pressed to his lips as if deep in thought. "Are you really ready to walk away from the Smith family's huge estate? You know your dad is the only one holding it up right now, and no one even knows where your fourth uncle is!""Why are you so worried about me? Don't forget I have a brother. If the Jones family won't make room for him, he can just join the Smith family!"While everyone else was trying to claim their piece of the pie, Sean was looking for a way out.Charles knew that once Sean made up his mind, he would not budge. "Alright, I'll look into it for you. Once you're sure, I'll help you seal the deal!""You take care of it," Sean said after a pause. "Aren't you going to check out the commotion downstairs?"Charles glanced down, pulling back his gaze. "Her feelings for you...""Let's not go there. I can't handle that," Sean interrupted, thinking about Layla's haughty behavior earlier and her rudeness toward Liliana. His

Liliana's brow creased slightly. She could not figure out why Layla always seemed to pick fights with her, even though she tried to stay out of Layla's way.Layla stared at Liliana with a sharp gaze. Noticing Liliana's hands were empty, she knew there was no gift for her. That was why Layla was giving Liliana a hard time.Everyone was watching Liliana, and Layla was eager to see how she would handle the situation."Is today your birthday?"Liliana felt awkward with all eyes on her. She glanced at Sean and saw he was not going to step in. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. You never told me, so I thought your birthday was a few days away!""You..." Layla was taken aback by Liliana's response. She scowled. "Didn't you come back just today before leaving again? I thought you were getting me a birthday present!" Layla bit her lip, looking sad. "You and Sean...""It was just a coincidence. Sean said he needed to talk to Charles, and I didn't realize it was for
