Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 371 - Bab 380

Noelle had an ‘aha!’ moment. Sean and Bob were related. That was why Charles had figured it out earlier."But if Bob is your cousin, how come..." Noelle was still a bit confused. She had not heard the name Bob around Brookville. If he was someone important, she thought she would have known about him.Sean smiled and gestured for her to sit. "Noelle, have a seat!" He seemed totally at ease as he made her a cup of coffee. "He's my aunt's son, and he’s actually named Andy. You've probably heard of him. My aunt married into the Jones family in Cascade City a long time ago, and my cousin is the heir to the Jones family."Noelle understood a little bit. "Andy? So why does everyone call him Bob?" She was still puzzled.Sean continued, "That's an old story. My aunt cut ties with the Jones family a long time ago. My cousin visits every year, and everyone calls him Andy there. But you know how it is with us Smiths—if I don't take charge, then it falls to my cousin. Grandpa was so set on him

Rowena and Teresa looked at Noelle again and gave her a little wink. Noelle caught their eyes and gave them a quick smile. Sean even gave Rowena a cheeky grin.Rowena felt a shiver and rubbed her arms. "Ugh, I can't stand him. He's such a pain!"Teresa laughed and said, "He didn't even do anything to you. Why are you always so bothered by him?"Rowena pouted and huffed, "I just don't like him. Why is Noelle hanging out with him?"Noelle came over with Sean. "Grandpa, Granddad, this is Sean, Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith, this is my Grandpa, and this is my Granddad!" She introduced them one by one. When she got to Charles, she paused. "And this is Charles, my husband!"Charles's fingers trembled ever so slightly as he held his coffee cup. Noelle's voice was a quiet murmur, barely audible to just their little group, but it filled Charles's heart with a rush of happiness.He looked up, his dark eyes sparkling with a light so bright it seemed to dim everything else around.With a soft smile,

"You mentioned earlier that you had something to show me?" Charles interrupted Sean. "Give it to me."Sean flashed a harmless smile, but it gave off a strange vibe, one that made Noelle and Rowena feel like it was insidious and sly.Sean handed Charles the video he had just recorded in the lounge. "When I went to see Noelle earlier, I stumbled upon quite the show. Take a look for yourself—it's quite entertaining!"Charles glanced at the video and then looked at Sean, asking, "Did she see it?"Sensing a gaze on her, Noelle looked up and found herself staring into Charles' deep, stormy eyes. She gave him a puzzled look, silently mouthing, "What's wrong?"Charles withdrew his gaze and focused on Sean's face, pressing him, "Well?""Of course not! Do you think I'm that kind of person? Rest assured, Noelle definitely didn't see it. I made sure she left the room first," Sean assured Charles. "I swear, there's no way I'd let Noelle see something like this! I just filmed it on a whim, thi

"Noelle?"Yevgen noticed that Noelle seemed both indifferent and slightly impatient, which made him even more nervous. He wanted to take a step forward, but the coldness in Noelle's eyes froze him in place.He stood there stiffly, waiting for her response.Noelle glanced at Yevgen with a detached expression, then looked over at Sean, who was watching the situation unfold with amusement.She frowned slightly, not particularly pleased with the situation. After all, being confessed to under such circumstances was far from enjoyable.The surroundings were quiet. The autumn breeze was cool with a hint of chill, much like Noelle's current demeanor—difficult to read.She looked at Yevgen for a moment before saying, "Yevgen, I haven't had the chance to thank you for saving me last time. Since we've run into each other today, I want to express my gratitude for what you did that day." Noelle's tone was calm, without much emotion. "Is there anything else?"Yevgen was taken aback, not exp

"You..."Yevgen stepped back, completely shocked by how harsh Noelle's words were. In his memory, Noelle was not someone who refused to give others a chance. "Is it because of this man's status? Is it because he's richer than me?"Noelle felt a headache coming on, realizing that reasoning with Yevgen was pointless. "Think whatever you want, but the truth is, there's no possibility between us."Mr. Carter, you've already wasted a lot of my time. I've said everything I needed to say, and I don't want to continue this conversation. Please don't bother me again."She quickly opened the car door, slipped inside, and shut it firmly without a second thought.Yevgen stared at the closed car door, his expression dark with frustration. His fists clenched tightly as he lifted his gaze to Sean, who wa just standing there, looking utterly relaxed. Sean's demeanor was nothing short of mocking, making Yevgen feel even more humiliated.He glared at Sean fiercely. "Don't think you're so great jus
