They had wanted to get that thirty million dollars from Simon by making her do something she did not want to, right? However, it did not work out, so...Noelle's hands balled into fists. "I always thought that if I just kept quiet, things would work out. But after today, I see it doesn't matter how much I back down. They'll never feel sorry. They'll just push harder!" Her grip was so tight that her knuckles turned white.She was shaking, feeling hopeless about her family. She had always kept a distance from them, not because she could not stand up for herself, but because they never seemed to care.Then, she felt a warm hand on hers. Charles was patting her hand gently. "What do you want to do?"Noelle bit her lip, her eyes showing her struggle. After a moment, she put her other hand on Charles's. "You said you'd help me, right?"Charles's eyes sparkled, and a smile spread across his face. "Yes.""I want to swap shares with you!"Charles's smile grew. "You can do whatever you wa

Charles had never seen such hopeful eyes from Noelle before. He bit his lip, gently took her by the shoulders, and stepped back. Noelle was surprised. She did not understand why Charles was pulling away when she was being so open.She felt a little hurt and bit her lip, tasting the warmth from Charles and the slight tang of blood where she had bitten him. Noelle was confused and frowned, not understanding why Charles was saying no.Noelle's falling smile did not escape Charles's notice. He curled his lips into a smile, and before Noelle could even catch her breath, he gently lifted her chin. His eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky. "Are you sure?"Noelle felt a warm flutter in her heart. She wanted to say no, but she nodded instead. "Sure!" She took a deep breath, as if she had made a big decision, and held both his hands tightly, their fingers interlacing. She looked at Charles with all the seriousness in the world. "We're husband and wife, right?""Yes!" He frowned slightly

Charles shook his head with a sigh and crawled into bed, feeling cozy and warm.Noelle must have felt him moving because she suddenly rolled over and hugged him tight.Charles froze for a second. He turned around to see Noelle sleeping peacefully, her lips moving slightly. The gentle glow in his eyes felt extra warm in the soft light.Noelle slept well but woke up feeling a little sore. It was not as bad as some tales had made it out to be, but it still hurt.She touched the warm spots on her body and smiled faintly at the light marks on her skin."Up already?"Hearing Charles's clear voice, Noelle looked down, feeling a bit shy. "Yeah. Y-you woke up really early!" she said, her cheeks turning pink. "About yesterday...""What's wrong?" Charles asked, noticing her shy expression. He thought she might feel awkward about something that happened last night. He sat down beside her on the bed. Noelle was wearing her nightgown, which had come a little undone.When Charles came closer

Noelle's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a mix of embarrassment and happiness. She tried to push Charles away, but he just would not let go. His kiss was gentle, and he traced her lips slowly, deepening it further.It was the gentlest kiss Noelle had ever felt, and for the first time, she realized that kissing could be something truly amazing.It was like Charles was magical. He made her relax and start to kiss him back. Still, he was definitely leading the way. Noelle got lost in his sweet kisses, and it was a long while before they could bring themselves to stop.Noelle's face felt warm, and she held Charles's arms, her cheeks red as he nibbled on her lip.Charles looked down into her pretty eyes, hidden beneath her long lashes. He softly touched her cheek, lifted her chin, and gently bumped foreheads with her. "Nelly, what do we do now?""What?" Noelle was confused.Charles held her chin gently and kissed her again. This time, Noelle was a bit surprised, but she was ready.

Noelle rushed to the hospital and found Samuel awake. The doctors had checked him over and said he was stable, so he was resting in a regular ward now.Samuel had been so angry that he had a stroke. When he finally woke up in the hospital, the only person he wanted to see was his granddaughter Noelle. The doctor remembered Noelle from the day of the surgery and agreed to Samuel's wish.Even the Shaw family could not visit Samuel without his permission. The doctors were worried about him suffering another stroke because he was old and had been so sick.Jade was really mad outside the hospital room, saying she would sue the hospital for what they were doing. Julian sat quietly, but inside, he was hurt. He was Samuel's son, yet his dad did not ask for him first.Winter was bundled up and wearing glasses, trying not to be seen. She was already in a lot of trouble, and she did not need more problems. She was worried she would lose everything. Jade's loud complaining was getting on her n
