All Chapters of The Cherished Wife: Chapter 461 - Chapter 470

"You know the dog's ruining our private time, yet you still won't take him away!"The argument heated up, and fists started flying. It had been a blur who swung first, but suddenly, they were both in the thick of it, adrenaline pumping, trading punches and kicks in a fierce standoff.Charles was going for the knockout, targeting every hit, but Sean was not about to give up. He ducked and dodged, looking for any chance to strike back.The pair drew after a few rounds. Both were roughed up, and neither had gained the upper hand. It had become obvious Sean was taking the brunt of it, with more than a few marks to show for it. As for unseen bruises, they both had plenty of those too.Sean had always warned Peter about Charles, calling him sneaky and not to be underestimated.Beyond the punches to Sean's face, there had been the blows to the waist and legs. Even if they left no mark behind, Sean was still sore. Charles had also taken his share of hits, but he was quick enough on his

The buzz about Suzy was everywhere that morning. Everyone from Brookville and the whole country seemed to be in on the gossip. For Suzy, the scandal was a crushing blow.Charles smiled wryly and gestured for Noelle to come over. She put away the ointment she was holding and got up, walking into Charles's open arms. She nestled quietly against him, her fingers nervously twisting his sleeve into a spiral."I've got Ronald on it," Charles said, his voice thoughtful. "When that video leaked, the faces were all blurred, and you couldn't really make out who was who. It was all guesswork, and nobody was sure." He paused, then added, "Suzy doesn't want to press charges."Noelle's brow creased in concern, but she quickly nodded in agreement. "I get where she's coming from. If she went to court, it would just keep the drama alive. It wouldn't just be those two people and their families caught in the storm; Suzy and her family would be under the microscope too. The media would have a field day

The horse ranch lay on the outskirts of town. It was a vast and open space frequented mostly by the sons and daughters of the rich. Noelle had heard Rowena talk about it plenty of times, yet she had never seen it herself.Rowena's family was not rolling in dough, but they had enough to be comfortable. Back in the day, Noelle had big dreams for Rowena and would often whisk her off to fancy spots where the rich and famous hung out. However, Rowena once told a story about coming to this ranch at fifteen years old and almost getting stomped into the ground by a horse. That scare kept her away for good.Noelle was excited at first, dreaming about galloping around. However, when push came to shove, she got cold feet. She had only seen horse riding on television and had never been on one herself before. She had seen some pros in competitions, but that was a whole different league.Charles picked up on Noelle's jitters and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. "Don't sweat it. I've got your b

"Nelly, love doesn't always last forever," Charles said, his voice heavy with the weight of reality. Clearly, he meant that this was someone else's drama, and even though Tania was his sister, there was not much he could do. It was up to those involved to figure it out.Noelle got it and held onto Charles's hand as if it were her lifeline. "Charles, swear to me that no matter what goes down in the future, you won't ever leave me hanging." The fear of being betrayed was still ever-real for her. Once was enough for a lifetime. She knew she could not handle going through that again."I'll never let you go, unless you let me go first," Charles said, gripping Noelle's hand firmly. "Promises might not always hold up, but I intend to keep all of mine to you. No exceptions."Noelle nodded, her eyes shining. "I love you, Charles!""I love you too!" He kissed her gently on the forehead, smoothing away the tiny wrinkle there with his thumb. "Anything else on your mind?"She nodded again. "Li

"Didn't you want to come?" Peter shot Sean a cool look. "You chose this. You can't blame anyone else for your misery." His tone was icy, and he did not bother to sugarcoat his words.After being subjected to Charles and Noelle’s lovey-dovey act and now getting a verbal jab from Peter, Sean decided he had had enough. He was done with this hangout. With his head held high, he walked off. Peter squinted, taking in his surroundings as memories of Tania flooded his mind. They had ridden wildly here once, and she had promised to stay by his side forever.Tania, Tania! Three years had gone, but she was still not back!Charles picked out a super calm horse for Noelle since it was her first time in the saddle. He was worried she might freak out or not be able to handle the horse, so he stuck close, holding the reins. Noelle, perched on the horse, gently patted its neck. "Charles, this one's a sweetheart!""Yep!" Charles glanced up, seeing Noelle's grin. "Should I let go and see how you do?"
