Chapter 1371

Noelle glanced at Charles and could tell he was fuming. Without a word, he shoved the card into her purse. "Grandpa gave it to you, so hold onto it," he said. "I would never let my wife go hungry, but there’s no such thing as too much money.”Charles scoffed and turned to Maxwell. "Grandpa, if you’ve got money to burn, you might as well hand out a few more cards.""You think I won't do it?" Maxwell bristled with anger, puffing up like an angry cat.Charles raised an eyebrow, a silent challenge in his gaze that said, ‘I bet you won’t.’Maxwell could not handle Charles's taunting. He spun on his heel. "James, go open my safe in the study. I...""Grandpa!" Noelle cut in quickly, gesturing for him to stop. "Really, there's no need. I hardly have any expenses. We've got everything at home, and I don't even buy my own clothes. The money you gave me is more than enough."Noelle was getting anxious. "Charles and I need to head out, or we'll be late." She shot Charles a pointed look. "Isn

Chloe's eyes flickered as she instinctively glanced at Clarisse. Clarisse, however, stiffened awkwardly, forcing a slight smile. "Chloe, I heard that Jordy has been busy lately..."Charles stepped outside and immediately spotted Noelle and little Anna waiting by the car, their hands intertwined. Anna’s hand was so small in Noelle’s grasp. Anna was gazing in awe at Noelle's belly. "Aunt Noelle, it's like magic! Are the babies really in there?""Absolutely!""Was I a tiny baby in my mom's belly too?" Anna asked, her fingers gently pressing against Noelle's stomach. "Aunt Noelle, it's moving!""It sure is!" Noelle chuckled, affectionately tousling Anna's bangs. "You were in your mom's belly once, too. Moms have to keep their little ones safe!""Qow! Mom must really love me a lot.""That's right. Every baby born into this world is an angel, and you’re your mom's little angel!""Is that true? Then I'm going to love my mom even more!" Anna's eyes sparkled with excitement. She released

Noelle toyed with the sleek black card. "I’ve gotta say, your granddad's had a real change of heart. He went from wanting to wipe me off the planet to this... Hehe!" Noelle's chuckle was crafty.Charles smoothed out Noelle's hair with a mix of affection and exasperation. "This isn't just any card. It's a top-tier, world-class black card.""Huh?""It's like a VIP pass to the planet. You can flash it anywhere," Charles said with a light laugh. "Grandpa was talking about fetching something from the safe in the study. Why'd you turn him down?"Noelle flicked her tongue out, tucking the card away with care. "Come on. I didn't marry you for your money," she said. "He's just trying to throw a little extra cash my way.""Silly girl! Do you have any idea what's locked away in Sir Hoffman's safe?" Charles could not help but shake his head as he gave Noelle's nose a playful pinch. "Do you even realize what you turned down?""Hey, stop the nose-pinching. Just tell me: what am I missing here?

Unaware of the buzz she and Charles were causing, Noelle trailed behind him at a leisurely pace. Watching Charles cradle Anna in one arm and hold her hand with the other, a familiar saying crossed her mind: ‘I want to grow old with you.’ Wasn't that exactly the picture they painted right now?Charles took Noelle to a routine check-up, and everything checked out fine, except that Noelle was a touch on the skinny side. Margaret, who was always looking out for Noelle, insisted she needed to beef up and ensure she was eating enough. Sitting off to the side, little Anna could not help but chime in, "Aunt Noelle, you hardly eat anything. You're so thin!"With a knowing look, Charles glanced at Noelle as if to say, "I'm not the only one who thinks so. You're not just slim, you're skinny!"Noelle bit her lip and glanced at the weight chart with a sigh. "I think I'm fine the way I am. Any heavier, and I'd be as round as a ball!"Margaret chimed in, "It can't be helped. You need to be well-n

Sean's attendance at least meant that the Smiths were not totally against her. Plus, with Sean there, she would not have to worry about any awkwardness.Charles understood what Noelle was thinking and shook his head with a smile. "Come on. Sean's already sent us the address.""If I'd known we were meeting him, I would've left Anna at home!""Don’t worry! It's actually great that Anna's coming." Having a kid around would keep things from getting too tense.Anna, who had been having a blast, perked up when she heard Noelle might not take her along. She looked up at Charles with big, sad puppy eyes. "Why isn't Aunt Noelle taking me?"...Harrison was the one who booked the hotel. The moment he got wind of Charles's call to Sean last night about setting up a meeting, he jumped on it and took care of the arrangements himself.Even though Harrison had met Noelle before, it had been a casual encounter, and she had not known he was her real dad. Today, Harrison was up with the sun, fuss

"Honestly, I think any of these options…""They all look good?""All…" Sean paused. He thought to himself, 'They're all the same!'He nodded as if affirming his own statement. "Exactly. Uncle Harrison, don't you trust the Smith family's impeccable genes? Look at my face, then look at yours—it's perfection!"Harrison shot Sean a look of disdain. "Be serious!""Alright, alright!" Sean cleared his throat dramatically. "Actually, the one who asked to meet you is Charles. He said he wants to have a face-to-face today and will be bringing Noelle along." Sean could not help but offer a word of caution. "Uncle Harrison, you left without a word back then, and maybe you had your reasons. But you're no different from Shirley to Noelle. In her eyes, both of you abandoned her. So… what I mean is, you need to be prepared. This may not go as smoothly as you hope."Harrison's expression stiffened. "I know."If he did not, he would have acknowledged Noelle as his daughter long ago instead of w

"Aunt Noelle lost again! Aunt Noelle lost again!" Anna clapped her hands and turned to Charles with a cheeky grin. "Uncle Charles, Aunt Noelle lost again!""Really? Anna, you're amazing!" Charles pinched Anna's nose playfully. "Aunt Noelle looks tired. Why don't you come over here and play with me instead?"He then scooped Anna up and placed her on the seat beside him.Anna pouted. "No, no! Uncle Charles, I want to sit between you and Aunt Noelle!"She wriggled her little legs, moving closer to Noelle. She tugged at her sleeve with a pleading look. "Aunt Noelle, am I still your little sweetheart?"Noelle could not help but laugh. "Of course, you're always my little sweetheart. Come here!"She patted the spot next to her and lifted Anna onto the seat in the middle. "Uncle Charles can feed you later, alright?""Okay!" Anna beamed while nodding enthusiastically, but then her gaze shifted to the door. "Huh?"Noelle and Charles turned to look at the entrance, where Sean leaned casua

"Let's order some food. Anna's still growing and probably hungry," Noelle said, prompting the manager to walk in promptly. "Mrs. Hoffman, what would you like to order?"Noelle smiled warmly. "Anna, what do you feel like eating?""This one and this one..." Anna pointed her little finger at pictures on the menu, clearly drawn by the bright colors rather than knowing what the dishes actually were.Charles, however, took the menu and closed it decisively. He turned to the manager and said, "Prepare something suitable for a pregnant woman."The manager froze for a moment, then quickly nodded. "Of course, Mr. Hoffman. I'll arrange it right away."After the manager left, the room fell into silence again.Noelle found the quiet unsettling. The stillness left her feeling hollow. She glanced at Charles, then at Harrison.She noticed that Harrison seemed different today compared to their previous meetings. He was dressed more meticulously and sat rigidly, and his expression was devoid of a

Charles' gaze flickered briefly, and Sean seized the moment. "Once Noelle takes the Smith name, she'll officially be my cousin too. Sure, she's your wife, and she already commands respect, but no one would dare say a word against her in the future with the Smiths backing her, right?"Charles curved his lips into a faint smile. "As I said before, if Nelly wants to accept this, I won't stop her. But if she doesn't, I won't tolerate anyone forcing her."Sean thumped his chest. "Of course! It all depends on her decision. But even if she doesn't take the Smith name, she's still my cousin. I'm saying that right here and now."Charles nodded and then shifted his sharp gaze to Harrison. "Mr. Harrison, I don't care what happened between you and Ms. Shrill in the past. No matter the reasons, they can't excuse abandoning Nelly. Does Ms. Shrill know about your intention to acknowledge Nelly? What's her stance on this?"Harrison's expression darkened instantly. "She... She's irrelevant.""I he

"Where's Noelle?" Yitty glanced around but did not see her, so her gaze locked on Sean. "Sean, where is she?"Sean frowned. "Aunt Yitty, why are all of you here?" Though reluctant, he stood up and took a look at his family. What he saw nearly made him stumble as nearly the entire Smith family had shown up.Not only were Yisroel and Yitty present, but his parents, Hayes and Savannah, too. Hazel Smith, his third aunt who had been living abroad for years, was present as well.Sean massaged his forehead. "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, you all—""Enough of your nonsense! I'm asking you where she is!" Yisroel snapped at Sean and then raised his cane, aiming it at Harrison. "You ungrateful son! Didn't you say you were meeting my granddaughter? Where is she?"Harrison winced as the cane struck him, his face paling slightly. He stood up and said, "Dad, Noelle went to the restroom. She'll—"His gaze shifted to Charles. "Dad, this is Noelle's husband."Yisroel squinted as he turned his sharp gaze to
