Charles nodded in response. "Why? Don't you like having them around?"Noelle shook her head. "It's not that. I just haven't spotted them yet.""They're good at staying out of sight. I can call them off in a little while if you're not into it, but they’ll stay for now. I'm not taking any chances with your safety."Noelle's laughter rang out as she playfully gripped Charles's hand, and they left The Majestic Lounge behind. Once they were settled in the car, she teased, "I get it. You're just looking out for me. Having someone tag along makes you worry less, right?""It sure does!"The group made their way to Bamboo Grove House, where Sean had reserved the grandest room there. The manager, spotting the arrival of such VIPs, hurried over to greet them. It was not every day that Bamboo Grove House hosted such an elite crowd, and the manager was determined to make a good impression.Ronald had taken care of the menu, and the feast began as soon as everyone was seated. Charles and Noell

Charles, with the utmost composure, peeled the last shrimp and handed it to Noelle. "Here, have this."Noelle popped the shrimp into her mouth under everyone's watchful eyes. She watched as Charles casually wiped his hands with a napkin, his calmness unshaken."Alright, take him to Nippori first. I'll follow shortly.""Right away, Mr. Hoffman!"Once the manager had left, Sean inquired, "Your uncle?"Milo was the only person who would go to such lengths to track Charles down here, and the manager had mentioned someone with the surname Baker.Charles nodded, a glint of determination in his eyes. "I'll be right back." He stood up and looked at Noelle. "Make sure you eat plenty."Noelle's lips twitched, convinced Charles had lost his mind today, but she managed a composed nod in front of everyone. "Sure."Charles affectionately ruffled Noelle's hair before he exited the private room.Milo was led by the manager to a spot in Nippori and ended up waiting around ten minutes before Ch

Upon hearing that, Milo's expression froze. He had not expected to be at a disadvantage so soon. Whenever he tried to be indirect with Charles, Charles would play the same game but even better.Milo could not figure out where Charles got that trait, but one thing was certain—it was far from endearing.Milo could not just admit it. He would give up his last bit of leverage if he admitted Janet was sick. That was a no-go.Charles was as cool as a cucumber since he was not the one needing a favor. He was curious to see how far Milo would go for Janet.He had always pegged Milo as a calculative man. Janet was his first love's child from a fling with another guy. Despite her having her mom's knockout looks, her illness was a hard fact.Charles brewed some coffee and checked the time. "Uncle, shouldn't you be visiting my mom instead of hanging out here and wasting time?"Milo was barely controlling his rage. "Spill it. What's your game?"Charles just cracked a smile. "You're making a

"Excellent!"Charles's lips quirked up in a sly grin. "I'll have someone take you home!""No need. I'll head back myself!""Sure. I'll take my leave, then!"Charles had what he wanted, so there was no point in sticking around with Milo any longer.He returned to the private room, where everyone was finishing their meal. They caught sight of Charles, looking all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and figured the negotiation must have been a breeze.Charles slid into the seat next to Noelle and glanced around. "Why's everyone staring?"Noelle flashed a smile and dished up some more food for Charles. "Everything went okay?"He nodded. "Yep!""Dig in. You barely touched your food earlier." She looked at the table. "Should we get more? We're running low on food."Noelle was about to flag down the waiter, but Charles waved her off. "No need. There's plenty here, and I'm not that hungry!" He gave Noelle's shoulder a reassuring pat. "Are you full?""Yep!"Charles looked away and, taking

Charles's lips quirked up. "Peter, looks like I'm going to need your help again."Peter nodded. "Just remember what you promised me."Charles nodded back, and the two men reached an unspoken agreement. "Give me a few days, and I'll arrange a meeting with the person. How you handle it is your call."Peter's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Deal!"The others were lost, unable to follow Charles and Peter's cryptic exchange. Noelle, however, caught on to some of it and cast a thoughtful look at Charles and then at Peter.After everyone said their goodbyes, Sean took Rowena and Teresa home while the rest of the crew split up, each heading to their own place.Noelle was lost in thought on her way back. "You had someone increase Janet's dose? What's that about? Don't tell me her wild behavior has something to do with you.""What?" Charles turned to her, a playful smile on his lips as he gently tousled her hair. "What's on your mind?"Noelle shook her head. "Nothing!" She really did n

Truth be told, Peter had been on an endless search for her, never once taking a break during all these years. Charles had seen it all, which was why he had agreed to lend a hand. Tania was not just some girl. She was his so-called sister, the apple of his uncle and aunt's eye.Noelle's eyes widened in surprise. "So, he's been searching for Tania all this time?" She smacked her forehead. "I should've seen that coming. Otherwise, Charles wouldn't have offered to help out."Charles might come off as a bit of a distant figure, but Noelle knew better. Underneath that reserved exterior was a heart of gold, especially when it came to his loved ones. To Charles, Peter and Tania were practically family."So, what's the game plan? Convincing your uncle and aunt won't be a walk in the park, right? Tania is their daughter, and they still haven't cleared up that old misunderstanding with Peter.""I'm thinking of approaching my aunt first." Charles said.Noelle nodded in agreement. "Your aunt d

A knock interrupted Milo's pacing. "Who's there?""Mr. Baker, I'm Ronald, Mr. Hoffman's assistant."Ronald?With a squint, Milo opened the door to find Ronald grinning at him. "Mr. Baker, Mr. Hoffman asked me to take you to Ms. Baker today. Your daughter's doing well in the hospital!"Milo's face fell upon hearing the news.Janet was in the hospital, but every time he tried to see her, she was just out of reach.Charles was known to have clout that could reach the heavens, but the extent of his power still came as a shock. He had even managed to get the hospital under his control.Little did anyone realize that the hospital was Sean's domain, and Sean was king in his territory.Ronald escorted Milo to the hospital, a standalone structure that was usually deserted, frequented only by the rich seeking its private wards.Ronald said at the ward entrance, "We're at Ms. Baker's room now. Mr. Baker, you might want to brace yourself..." His warning was cut short by a blood-curdling s

Ronald rushed in to help hold Janet down and shouted, "Get the doctor! We need a sedative now!"It wasn't until the doctor gave Janet the sedative and she finally settled down that Ronald turned to Milo and asked, "Mr. Baker, are you okay? What about that scratch on your face?"Milo felt his cheek and winced as he found the scratch Janet had left. "It's nothing. I'll still take Janet with me." They could not stay there a moment longer.Ronald gave a nod of understanding. "Sure thing. The boss said Ms. Baker is like a daughter to you. You can take her if you want.”Once Milo had left, Ronald dialed Sean's number. "Mr. Smith, I need to take the surveillance footage with me."It did not take long for Charles' keen eyes to spot something off about Milo in the footage. "He acted really weird when he saw Janet today, didn't he?"Ronald agreed and shared his thoughts before looking expectantly at Charles.Charles gave a sly smile, tapping his long fingers on the desk. "You're getting s

A baby?Ronald's eyes widened at Charles's suggestion to show Milo a child. "What are you getting at, Mr. Hoffman?"Realization dawned on Ronald. "Got it. I'll handle it. Don't worry about the Hoffman stuff—it's all been taken care of."Charles waved nonchalantly just as Noelle breezed into the study. Noticing their chat had wrapped up, she said, "Charles, I whipped up some dessert. Would you like a bowl downstairs?"She glanced at Ronald. "Mr. Wells, all done with your chat?""Yes, we're done here. I've got stuff to do, so I'll pass on the dessert," Ronald said, eyes darting around as he snatched up the papers and bolted for the door.If he didn't make a run for it then, when else would he be able to? He did not want to wait around for the boss to give him the death stare.Anyone paying attention knew that Charles had been super into Noelle lately. Ronald would not dare touch anything the boss's wife made. That was a rule as old as time: what the boss's wife makes is off-limits

Milo let out a heavy sigh. "You think I don't want to heal Janet? Hilary was wrecked by this same sickness until she finally slipped away from us. If I hadn't selfishly left her back then, she wouldn't have fallen so far. Janet's her kid, and I want to give her everything good in this world. But you know how Janet is. She's convinced she's perfectly healthy, and she's been fine all these years. I hoped...""Enough about hoping,'" Alex cut in, firm and unyielding. "She's got a mental illness that's been passed down through the family. There's a history, Milo. There's no room for 'what ifs.' The odds are just too slim.""Think about the child. What's this child really trying to tell us? She wouldn't just talk about a child out of the blue unless there's a memory associated with it! Didn't you say she came here looking for Charles? Maybe Charles is the key!""It's no use," Milo said, his voice tinged with defeat.Maybe none of this would have happened if Charles just married Janet. "C
