All Chapters of The Cherished Wife: Chapter 481 - Chapter 490

Janet said pitifully, "But Chloe seems to dislike me a lot. Aunt Clary, what did I do wrong? Why does it seem like no one in the Hoffman family likes me?""Silly child, it's not your fault. It's their problem," Clarisse consoled Janet, who was on the verge of tears. Her pitiful appearance made Clarisse's heart ache.Clarisse lived in Capiton for years, raising Janet by her side and loving her like her own daughter. She treated Janet far better than she ever treated Chloe.At that moment, Charles walked in front while carrying Anna, with Chloe following behind. As they entered the living room, their gazes turned sharp and cold upon seeing Clarisse and Janet.Janet quickly stood up when Charles finally came in, but her eyes betrayed unmistakable jealousy when she saw Anna in his arms. "Charles, you..."Charles swept a piercing gaze over her before settling on Clarisse. "It's getting late. Chlo and I will be heading back now. Mother, you should rest early too.""Charlie!" Clarisse c

Noelle stood up, pointing at her own slippers. She then raised one foot close to Charles', wiggling it in the air. "Look, these are mine. We have a matching pair! Don't you think they're lovely? Aren't they pretty?"As she swayed her foot, Noelle grabbed Charles' arm. However, her movement was a bit too enthusiastic, causing her to nearly lose balance. Luckily, she held onto his sleeve. She giggled sheepishly as she repeated the question, "Don't you like them?"Just then, Noelle's hopeful gaze met Charles' eyes. He narrowed his long eyes slightly, then gently tapped Noelle's nose. "I do like them.""If you like them, put them on quickly!" Noelle urged.Faced with Noelle's eager anticipation, Charles could only put on the slippers with a resigned smile. "Did you go to the mall alone?""Nope!" Pleased with Charles's cooperation, Noelle wrapped her arms around his neck. She stood on tiptoes to kiss the corner of his mouth, then hung onto his neck with a grin. "I invited Peter and Sea

Meanwhile, Suzy had spent several days at Cody's suburban villa. During this time, she turned off her phone, avoided all social media platforms, and essentially cut herself off from the outside world.She did not even dare to turn on the television, fearing that once she did, the unbearable images would flood her mind and overwhelm her.In just a few short days, Suzy tormented herself to the point of becoming almost unrecognizable. She despised Winter, but at the same time, she felt utterly helpless.On several occasions, she even contemplated ending her life, no longer wanting to face the world. However, the thought of dying while Winter continued to live well made her reluctant to give up.Annie was the most frequent and only visitor who knew Suzy's whereabouts during these days. She came almost every morning, noon, and night but never stayed for long. Suzy knew Annie meant well, but she did not want to see anyone, not even Annie.On the fifth day of Suzy's self-imposed isolatio

Suzy looked up at Annie's face hesitantly. "Annie, do you resent me for not helping you in time back then?" She was referring to when she and Winter saw those people taking Annie away but did not intervene."Let's not talk about the past. I wasn't there when you were in trouble either!" Annie patted Suzy's hand. "Come on, let's eat!"Perhaps because a weight was lifted from her heart, Suzy's mood improved considerably. She ate two full portions of the meal before putting down her cutlery.Still concerned, Annie opened her social media forum for Suzy to see. Suzy searched for news about the recent incident and found no trace of it. That was when she finally believed Annie."See? My brother said those rich kids from last time also promised they deleted all footage and would keep quiet about the whole thing. Can you relax now?"Suzy nodded. "Thank you, Annie. Really, thank you!""We're best friends. This is what I'm supposed to do. But I'm going abroad in a few days. My brother foun

The quiet place Winter mentioned was Homestyle Garden House. She had visited it a few times with Emilia and Jade and indeed found the environment pleasant and tranquil.After getting in the car, Winter made a reservation. She then led Suzy to the place.It was Suzy's first time there. She frowned slightly but followed Winter inside. Winter chose the innermost room, which others rarely passed by, ensuring their privacy.Considering the severity of the recent incident, Winter was worried about its impact on Suzy, despite it being censored online. "Suzy, this place is usually free of those people. It's mostly frequented by refined, wealthy ladies… So about that day—""Enough!" Suzy interrupted. "I don't want to discuss it anymore. There's no need to keep bringing it up."She then took a deep breath.Being from a distinguished family, Suzy was adept at brewing tea, a skill her mother had insisted she perfected.As she prepared the tea, Suzy forced herself to remain calm. "I know the
