Chapter 1731

On the day Kelly was discharged from the hospital, Noelle had originally planned to pick her up. However, as her belly grew larger, it became impossible for her to move around freely.Not only did Charles refuse to let her exert herself, but even Kelly would not allow Noelle to go through the trouble of making the trip.In the end, Kelly was taken to the Smith residence. Given that she was now recognized as Harrison's daughter, it was only natural for her to live there. Plus, Harrison was adamant about it.The moment he learned Kelly wanted to see him, he had ordered the household staff to prepare a room for her. He had even arranged a room next to hers for Seth, carefully decorating it with all sorts of toys suited for a young boy.Harrison welcomed Kelly home, making it clear that she was free to do whatever she wanted. As for changing her last name, he had consulted her opinion.Kelly, however, felt it did not matter much either way. Seeing that, Harrison chose not to push the

Kelly quickly noticed that Harrison was just as nervous as she was."There's no need," she reassured him. "I'm sure you've already prepared everything thoroughly.""No, no, there are still many things I don't quite understand," Harrison admitted. "You know, I never had the chance to raise you and Noelle, so… this is my first time. Mistakes are bound to happen."Since Harrison had already expressed his concerns so openly, Kelly did not want to make things harder for him by refusing. If she insisted on brushing it off, he might overthink it. So she nodded instead."That makes sense. Maybe some of the things Seth and I are used to aren't things you'd think of. How about I take a look around first? If I see anything missing, I'll make a list for you?"Harrison immediately nodded. "Yes, that's a good idea!"Kelly smiled. "Um… is Seth already at the Smiths'?""Yes," Harrison answered. "Not just Seth, Noelle and Charlie are here too. Everyone's gathered together, making the place livel

Charles narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a restless energy rising within him that was barely held in check. He leaned down, bringing his lips close to Noelle's ear, and whispered, "You enchantress."It would have been fine if he had not spoken. But the moment he did, Noelle's competitive streak flared.She hooked her arms around Charles' neck and smirked. "If I'm an enchantress, what does that make you?"Charles' eyes flickered as he looked down at her belly that was round as a ball, and let out a deep sigh."A wandering monk.""You're so improper!" Noelle gave him a playful glare and huffed. "Can't you see where we are? Do you always act this shamelessly?""You're my wife," Charles stated matter-of-factly. "If I say things like this, it only proves how irresistible you are."There was no denying it now that Charles had truly mastered the art of seduction.He had a knack for teasing her, making her heart race, but then leaving her hanging, unable to do anything about it.It

Kelly froze as she stared at Seth in shock—especially at the moment he ran toward Yves and wrapped his little arms around Yves' leg. A strange wave of loss surged through her.She did not even know where this emotion came from, but it hurt. She never expected that in just a short time, Seth would already be calling Yves 'Daddy'.Kelly was not the only one stunned as everyone in the room seemed momentarily speechless.Even Yves himself had not anticipated Seth's sudden display of affection.Although he had spent the past few days bonding with Seth and knew the child liked him, Seth had always been a bit shy.He had never once called him 'Daddy' before. Yves felt a mix of emotions at that moment. Surprise, confusion—but mostly joy.He glanced at Seth before instinctively turning to Kelly, and just as he expected, her expression was tangled with conflicting emotions.Squatting down, Yves reached out and gently ruffled Seth's hair. "Be good. Mommy is coming home today, hmm?"Seth's

Harrison smiled as he looked at Kelly and Noelle, clearly pleased."Sean is still busy right now, so we'll wait for him. Kelly, let me introduce you to the family. This is your second uncle, Hayes, and your Aunt Savannah."Over there is your Aunt Yitty, and you also have a third aunt, but she's not in Brookville at the moment. Your grandfather had some business to attend to today—he went to see an old comrade but will be back later. And, of course, you already know Noelle and Charlie.""Hello, Uncle Hayes, Aunt Savannah, Aunt Yitty," Kelly greeted politely.Yitty smiled warmly and nodded. "How wonderful!"She then pulled out an envelope with some allowance and handed it to Kelly. "When Noelle first came home, I gave her one, so I can't treat you any differently.""Thank you, Aunt Yitty!"Following her lead, Hayes and Savannah also handed Kelly envelopes. Then, seeing how delighted Seth looked, they gave him several as well.Seth had always been a reserved child, shy and withdra

"Sean, Bob, you're back?" Savannah was the first to stand up.Seeing her son return naturally made her happy.A moment ago, it had been all about Harrison's two daughters and their husbands. Savannah could not help but feel a little jealous.The Smith family was gathered so neatly, while her side had been somewhat neglected. Especially when she met Charles' cold gaze—she truly could not stay any longer.Sean noticed the entire family gathered together and saw Savannah walking toward him.However, he subtly stepped aside, letting Savannah lunge at nothing but air. Savannah immediately froze in embarrassment.It was Bob who stepped in to ease the tension."Aunt Savannah," he greeted."Bob, when did you get here?""Not long ago." Bob glanced at Sean before stepping inside."It's quite lively here," he remarked with a smile.His clear, observant gaze landed on Noelle first. He gave her a slight nod before shifting his attention to Kelly.Kelly had been a little nervous at first

Bob's sudden gesture nearly blinded everyone with its extravagance. No one had expected him to be so generous.It was Kelly who reacted first, quickly standing up to refuse."Bob, this really isn't necessary. Seth is still young; he doesn't need something like this. We're all family, so there's no need to give money or gifts."Even though no one here lacked money and Bob's gesture was not a big deal to him, Kelly still felt uneasy accepting it. But Bob simply shook his head."I'm giving it to Seth, not to you," he said before crouching down to meet Seth's gaze."Call me Uncle Bob, hmm?"Seth seemed a little nervous but blinked his big eyes and gathered his courage."Uncle Bob!" he said clearly.Bob smiled and handed the card to him. "This is from me, your uncle.""Thank you, Uncle Bob!" Seth happily took the card, then looked at Kelly.Since Bob had already insisted, Kelly felt it would be inappropriate to refuse again."If your uncle gave it to you, then you can keep it," s

"Is it really not possible?" Seth's voice trembled. "Mommy, is it really not okay? But isn't he my daddy? Why can't I be with Daddy? Mommy, am I a child you just picked up? Does no one want me?"The moment Seth finished speaking, he burst into tears.Kelly's heart nearly shattered. She could not bear to see Seth cry like that. She immediately crouched down and wrapped her arms around him."Seth, baby, don't cry. I love you more than anything! How could you think that way?""But what about Daddy?" Seth still was not satisfied. His big eyes that were filled with hope turned toward Yves.Before Yves could say anything, Kelly raised her head to look at him. Their gazes locked, and for a moment, too many emotions swirled in those dark eyes. Feeling overwhelmed, Kelly quickly looked away."Daddy loves you too," she said softly."Really?" Seth still looked doubtful and turned back to Yves.Yves nodded. "Daddy loves you very much.""Then can Daddy live with Mommy and me?" Seth's eyes

After dinner, Charles took Noelle home. Initially, Noelle had wanted to stay longer, but given her pregnancy and how late it was, the Smiths did not insist on keeping them.Just as they were about to leave, Yves caught up with Charles at the door. "Thanks."Charles smirked. "No need for thanks. I prefer something more tangible."Yves raised an eyebrow, and Charles chuckled. "As her brother-in-law, you should be more considerate. Nelly is due soon, and I won't have time to oversee Collosus Group. So..."Yves let out a cold laugh. "You're playing this well. Aren't you afraid I'll just swallow up the entire Collosus Group?""That would still take some skill, wouldn't it?" Charles' sharp eyes glanced back at the house. "On the surface, things might look stable, but I suggest you take it easy. You'd be better off making use of Sean and Bob. A good relationship with your brothers-in-law will only help you. Anyway, I'm off."Yves watched Charles walk away, rubbing his chin. It was no

Noelle shot Charles an annoyed glance, but he simply held her hand and asked, "What's wrong?""Nothing!" Noelle did not feel like talking to him anymore.Charles studied her profile with a faint smile. "Sleepy? If you are, just rest for a bit. We'll be home soon."Noelle wanted to say she was not tired, but her body betrayed her. She yawned, exhaustion washing over her, and she leaned against Charles and closed her eyes for a quick nap without much thought.Half an hour later, the driver pulled the car into Phoenix Tree Residence and carefully glanced at the rear-view mirror."Mr. Hoffman, we've arrived.""Shh," Charles hushed the driver and glanced down at Noelle.He then gently gathered her into his arms and stepped out of the car.Noelle had actually woken up the moment the car stopped, but before she could open her eyes, she heard Charles instruct the driver to stay quiet.Now, being cradled in his arms, she felt warm and comforted but also a little guilty. She slowly open
