All Chapters of The Cherished Wife: Chapter 421 - Chapter 430

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's this about hiding someone? For your information, I'm a gentleman, alright? I'm swamped as it is. I can barely look after myself, let alone Arnold. And let's not forget, Arnold was yours to begin with. You and that woman... Look, it doesn't matter. Arnold can't go back now, period!"With those words, Sean took the opportunity to bolt out of there.He had only himself to blame, though. Why did he even mention that woman? Everyone knew she was a sore subject for Charles.Sean might not know the whole story, but ever since that woman left, no one had dared to bring her up around Charles. Just the mention of her name would ruin Charles’ mood, though it was not enough to make him lose his temper.Meanwhile, Charles sat in the living room for a long while before he finally looked down at Arnold by his feet. Arnold seemed to sense his mood, nuzzling against Charles's leg, whimpering softly for attention.Fresh from the shower, Noelle stepped out of the bathroom a

"Mom!" Bob cut her off, his eyes narrowing, a trace of annoyance flickering through them. "I know what I'm doing. Cascade City can wait. It's mine, anyway. Are you really worried I won't be able to handle it?""Alright then!" Yitty pressed her lips together and placed her glass on the table.Bob realized that this was a conversation where he and Yitty would just go around in circles. "You should get some rest, Mom. I'll head out now."Once he stepped out of Yitty's tastefully decorated room, Bob dialed Sean's number. "What have you been up to today?"Sean had just gotten home and was about to crash when his phone buzzed with Bob's call. The tone was pure interrogation. He quirked an eyebrow and replied, "What could I possibly have done? I went to see Noelle, just like you asked, didn't I?"Bob squinted suspiciously. "What did you tell Jade? She's called my mom, and she’s absolutely livid!""She actually called her?" Sean was taken aback. "That woman... Well, I didn't really say m

"Don't worry. Even if you don't say it, I won't let her ruin your happiness!" Jade assured, her eyes flashing with determination. She was absolutely resolved not to let Noelle disrupt her happiness, just like that other woman once did.With Jade's promise, Winter finally felt relieved. She knew better than anyone how much her mother disliked Noelle—Jade downright hated her. Winter had been aware of this since she was a child, back when her relationship with Noelle had not yet soured.Back then, Winter was mischievous, and she would play hide and seek in Julian and Jade's room. She hid in the wardrobe and overheard a shocking secret—that Noelle was not her real sister but rather the child of a woman her mother deeply resented. From that moment, Winter's attitude toward Noelle began to change.Winter had never shared this secret with anyone, but she fully understood that her mother's willingness to help her was not just about supporting her; it was also about the deep-seated hatred

Brian had previously misunderstood Noelle to some extent, but after spending time with her, he realized that Noelle was different from what he had initially thought.He was already aware of Noelle's background, yet she did not put on any airs around him. That surprised him a little.As the traffic slowly began to clear, Brian decided not to continue the conversation. However, Noelle hesitated before asking, "Mr. Parker, did you assign me to this project because of Charles?"Brian paused for a moment. "Yes." Since Noelle was being direct, he decided to be straightforward as well."Mr. Hoffman did suggest that I guide you. I admit, at first, I wasn't too keen on this arrangement. Nonetheless, since Mr. Hoffman had faith in you, I figured you must have some real potential."Noelle suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. "Actually, it's not that he has faith in me; he's just giving me special treatment."As Noelle said this, she noticed Brian smiling and shaking his head, seemingly unbother

Xavier suddenly brought up Noelle again. Could it be that he ran off earlier because he saw her?Winter looked around again, but she still did not see Noelle anywhere. Biting her lip, she hesitated and asked, "Xavier, are you still unable to let go of Noelle? I know it was my fault back then, but I—""It's not that!" Xavier interrupted Winter impatiently. "I already told you before, didn't I? Since I've married you, I won't divorce you, and I won't be with Noelle. I just suddenly thought of something."Didn't you say that your mom wants Noelle to marry Bob? If that happens, won't it mean that the Shaw and the Smith families will be connected?"Winter was relieved to hear that, but thinking about Noelle's attitude made her uneasy again. "My mom is worried about this too. Bob's mother, Yitty, is my mom's best friend. They were very close when they were younger."So, my mom suggested that they meet to see if they were compatible, and if they were, they could get together. But Bob doe
