"I got it!" Noelle said, trying to grab the orange from Charles. However, he just signaled for her to open her mouth and fed her another piece."Wow, they're like a dream couple," Linda said. She pulled out her phone, took a picture of Charles and Noelle, and sent it to their Messenger group.Linda had joined their group chat before and fit right in. As soon as she posted the picture, everyone started commenting.Sean wrote: [Not again. You're making us all jealous!]Peter added: [That's just showing off!]Steven just sent: [...]Tania jumped in, too: [Honey, let's get them back!]Bran complained: [Why are you being so mean to a kid?]Noelle saw Charles's phone light up with notifications. She picked it up, unlocked it, and widened her eyes in surprise.Noelle gave Charles a quick side-eye, and he looked back at her, confused. "What's up?"She hesitated for a moment, then handed her phone over to Charles.Charles barely glanced at the screen before he chucked the phone aside

Kelly had come back before, but she was covered in scars. She was worried that Seth would be scared if he saw them, so she had been holding back, trying not to think about her son. However, Seth was her child. How could she not think about him?Charles reassured her, "There's plenty of room here, so don't worry!"Kelly let out a relieved breath. "Thank you so much, brother-in-law!""Kelly, we're family. There's no need for thanks!" Noelle chimed in. She knew Kelly might still be a bit worried about old issues, but Noelle thought that since everything was out in the open then, Kelly did not have to feel that way. "What are you scared of? He's not a monster. If he ever tries to bother you, I'll show him the door!"Charles quirked an eyebrow. "Oh?"His eyes twinkled with mischief, but Noelle just tilted her head up, boldly staring back at Charles. "Did I say something wrong?"Charles let out a resigned chuckle and gently patted Noelle's head. "No, you're absolutely right."Noelle b

Because Seth came to visit, Kelly felt a huge relief. It was like a heavy stone that had been sitting on her heart was finally gone, and now she was really relaxed.Holding Seth, she walked up to Charles and Noelle with a big smile. "Looks like Seth and I will be staying here for a while.""Of course," Noelle said with a gentle smile. She reached out to touch Seth's soft cheek, which she really liked. “Seth, do you remember who I am?""Aunt!" Seth blinked his big, cute eyes at Noelle. She felt her heart just melt. "Yes, Seth. You're such a good boy. So, you'll live here with Mommy at my house, okay?""Okay!" Seth gave her a shy smile. "I like aunt too!" Then he glanced at Charles, a bit puzzled.Noelle laughed again. "This is my husband. You can call him Uncle Charles."Seth nodded, not quite sure what that meant, but he tried anyway. "Uncle Charles!""Right!"Charles nodded back. "Good job, Seth!""Oh, Kelly, he's so adorable! Can I hold him?"Linda was still a kid herself,

Noelle had been sitting on the couch with her big belly, barely moving. Her eyes were tenderly fixed on the two little boys playing.Kelly, seeing that, chuckled. "At first, I thought having a child was just a big hassle. However, after all Seth and I have been through, I see him as a precious gift."Kelly's eyes twinkled as she spoke. Noelle nodded. "Seth and Bran are both so adorable.""Yes!" Tania chimed in. "However, you're doing much better now. My brother is always by your side, no matter where you are, he just can't stand to be away from you." Tania glanced at Kelly. "I've been in a similar boat before. Raising a child on your own is tough."The conversation was light and full of laughter until Tania's words made Peter come to a halt.He turned his head, a complex look in his eyes as he looked towards Tania.Charles and Sean stopped in their tracks. They had sharp eyes and ears from years of living in a challenging environment, so they overheard Tania and Kelly's conversat

Tania was thrilled to see Liliana after so long. She grabbed her hand, and they started gabbing. "You look thinner. And why are you home so late?""The office has been crazy busy, so I’ve had lots of late nights!" Liliana was much calmer those days than she had been years before.Tania could tell that Liliana had changed a lot since they were younger. She knew about the issues between Liliana and Sean too. However, back in those days, Tania had her own problems to deal with, so she did not really know what happened to Liliana.Then, looking at Liliana, Tania could not help but feel sad.Sean's eyes grew darker. He was about to shut the door when someone else came in. "Mr. Fischer? What brings you here?"Steven stared at Sean like he was looking at someone who did not make sense. "Why can't I be here?"Sean, already in a sour mood, raised an eyebrow. "Of course, you can come. This is Charles's place, after all. You can do as you like!"Steven was taken aback. He did not get why S

The living room was bustling with people. Even though Liliana was a bit surprised to see Sean there, she kept her cool, just like Charles said she would. She was not the type to make a scene in front of a crowd, but she was not about to go out of her way to please them either.Tania watched and felt a pang of sympathy.She shot Noelle a knowing look, and Noelle sighed. They both wanted to help, but it was not really their place. It was up to Liliana."I'm going to head upstairs," Liliana announced, not keen on sticking around. "I'm feeling pretty tired!""Liliana!" Tania called out, a bit frustrated by her friend's retreat. As Liliana climbed the stairs, Tania got up too. "You all keep talking. I'm going to see how Liliana is doing. We're friends, practically sisters."Tania glanced at Sean as she spoke. His face was dark with a mix of emotions, clearly upset by Liliana's reaction.Peter approached and gave Sean a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "There's always tomorrow, right?"

"Come in and sit down!" Liliana said, already aware of the virus Tania and Bran were dealing with. "Are you and Bran okay?"Tania nodded. "The doctor downstairs, Ms. Holt, is really good!"Hearing that, Liliana felt relieved. "That's great to hear!""Liliana," Tania said, reaching out to hold her hand. "It's been so many years. Can't you let it go?"Liliana froze, her fingers twitching, trying to slip away, but Tania held on. "Liliana, we're friends, remember?"Liliana gave a shy smile, but she seemed a bit stuck. "I know, I actually knew why you came up here, but Tania, I'm not like you and Peter. Some things just can't be helped. You two have love and your little one, but Sean and I, we have nothing, not even hard feelings—I don't feel anything for him anymore!"Tania could not help but glance at Liliana and her calm face. It looked like she did not care one bit.Tania tried to see if Liliana's face would tell her anything, but Liliana just looked back at her. After a while, T

Liliana's fingers trembled slightly. "No, it's probably just that I felt sorry for him."Outside the door, Sean stood still. His dark eyes held a trace of pain, but after a long pause, he clenched his fists and turned away.Sean made a call to Yankel. "I have news about Samara."…Downstairs, the atmosphere was lively. The house was full of people today, and the cook was busy in the kitchen, working at full capacity. Feeling bored—and a little hungry—Noelle suddenly had a craving for stuffed pastry pockets.Going out at this hour just to buy them seemed like a hassle, but fortunately, there was flour at home. Noelle suggested they make them from scratch.For Linda, it was rare to see so many people gathered at the Holt residence, and she seemed thrilled. "Stuffed pastry pockets? What are those?"She leaned in closer to Noelle, catching the warm, inviting scent clinging to her. Unable to resist, she inched even nearer. "Noelle, are they good?""They're delicious," Noelle answere

"Sean, stop messing around. Let go of me first," Liliana tugged at Sean's arm, realizing how tightly he was holding her. "You're choking me."Only then did Sean loosen his grip slightly, though he still did not let her go. His forehead rested against hers, and he panted softly. "Liliana, do you remember what you said to me in the fire?"Liliana's face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her head away. "N-No, I don't remember. What did I say? I don't think I—mmph..."Before she could finish, Sean kissed her, swallowing the rest of her words with that one stubborn kiss.Liliana raised her hands and smacked Sean on the shoulder, trying to push him away. "Sea—mmph, what are you doing? Let me go..."She shoved him hard, and Sean stumbled back, clutching his chest. Liliana's face went pale, and she rushed over. "Sean, what's wrong? Are you okay? Did I hurt you somewhere?"Nonetheless, Sean took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her again. That feeling of holding her tightly

Noelle raised an eyebrow. "I didn't say that."Then, she added, "That knot in Liliana's heart can only be undone by Sean."What happened back then had always been a shadow between the two of them. Noelle had noticed it these past few days. Though Liliana stubbornly claimed she no longer cared, she clutched her phone every single day, obviously waiting for a call.Liliana's social circle was small. Noelle and the others knew everyone she knew. Who else could she be waiting for but Sean?Charles furrowed his brows. "If Liliana can't have the best, then she's better off with nothing."Noelle could not help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you're still holding a grudge against Hayes and Savannah."Honestly, Noelle shared the sentiment. "Savannah really crossed a line with how she handled everything."Charles reached out and gently pinched Noelle's knuckles. "That's not what I meant."Noelle chuckled, exasperated. "I know."Outside, the sound of a car engine drew their attentio

Sean shoved Hayes away. "Dad, if you're just like Mom and trying to stop me from being with Liliana, then don't even bother. If I can't marry Liliana in this lifetime, I won't marry anyone else."With that, Sean lay down decisively. Hayes frowned. "Sean, this isn't about what we want anymore. It's about Liliana and Charles now."Truthfully, Hayes did not have many opinions about Sean and Liliana's relationship. He was always too busy with the company to pay attention to such things. Even the events from four years ago were only now becoming clearer to him."If you insist on marrying her, I won't stop you. But from what I can see, the problem lies with Liliana and Charles."Sean's gaze sharpened as he clenched his fists. "That's impossible. Liliana already forgave me back when the fire happened. She promised that if we both made it out, she'd marry me."Hayes sighed. "Your mother… She misunderstood Liliana and said some harsh things. Just rest for now. Once you're better, we'll go
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2126
Sean spat out a mouthful of blood. One hand gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gaze turning darker than ever."What do you mean by that? What do you mean she doesn't want to marry me? She promised me. She said that as long as I was willing to walk out of that fire with her, she'd be with me. You're lying to me, aren't you? Tell me you're lying to me."Sean's bloodshot eyes locked on Savannah's. "Tell me."Savannah was momentarily stunned by the sheer force of Sean's gaze. This was the first time she ever felt fear in front of her own son. "Sean, I…""Where's Liliana?" Sean demanded."Sean," Hayes called out as he pushed open the door and stepped in. "That's no way to speak to your mother.""Then how should I speak to her?" Sean's voice turned icy."Did you know it was Joanna who drugged me nine years ago? And while I was under the influence, I forced myself on Liliana? I misunderstood her, and as a result, she had to hide in the countryside for years."Four years ago, it was me

The operating room door swung open, and Liliana spun around. She saw Saxon step out. Not caring about anyone else’s opinions, she grabbed his hand. "Mr. Holt, how's Sean?"Saxon looked down at their hands, noting how soft and warm hers was. He met her eyes and nodded. "The patient is out of danger now. He should wake up by tomorrow."Hearing that, Liliana let out a sigh of relief and then suddenly fainted."Liliana!"Charles rushed over and wrapped Liliana in a tight hug, but his eyes quickly darted to Hayes and Savannah. "Now that Sean is safe, Sean's fate is no longer Liliana's concern, nor ours," he declared, speaking for the Hoffman family.With those words, Charles carried Liliana away. Saxon was tugged along by Linda. "Saxon, you should check on her. The young lady seemed off to me. She's been hiding her pain. Besides the wound on her shoulder, I think she breathed in a lot of smoke."Saxon's eyes shimmered for a moment. "Yeah, I'm aware."Liliana had been pushing through
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2124
"Charles, you…""Stop it!" Hayes was taken aback by Savannah suddenly slapping Liliana. He did not particularly like or dislike Liliana, but she was part of the Hoffman family, and their family commanded much respect. Besides, Noelle was still Charles's wife, and they had to be careful about their actions.Hayes turned to Charles. "I'm sorry, my wife acted without thinking. But what in the world happened today?"Hayes had been told that his son was hurt, but he did not know the details. When he arrived and saw Liliana was there and injured too, Hayes and Savannah could not help but think that Liliana must be connected to Sean's injury.Charles gave a sharp look. "It was Joanna's doing.""Joanna? No, that can't be!" Savannah was shocked to hear the name Joanna, and she quickly objected, "Joanna is such a sweet girl, she couldn't possibly...""Oh, sweet indeed!"Liliana, who had been silent until then, finally spoke. She narrowed her eyes and stood up, ignoring the pain from her w

"Liliana!""Get up quickly!" Liliana used all her strength to pull Sean up from the ground. "Can you walk?""Uh-huh!" Sean had been hit by a falling piece of wood on his leg when he tried to push Liliana out earlier. That was why he could not get out in time and could only hear Liliana's loud calls from outside.He had wished so badly for Liliana to leave quickly, but she had come back for him.Sean bit down hard and pushed himself up.Even if it was hard to walk, he had to try because Liliana wanted him to stand.Liliana slung Sean's arm over her shoulder, noticing his injury. Her eyes were red with tears. "Sean, hang in there. If we both make it out today, I'll forgive you. You can ask me to do anything.""Really?" Sean's eyes sparkled, and he smiled. "Liliana, I don't want you to do anything." In his heart, he added, ‘I just want you to marry me.’"The fire is licking at our heels, and you two are still dawdling," came Charles's icy voice from up ahead. In a flash, he was be

"Sean, where are you? Didn't you just say you love me?" she cried out. "How can you leave me like this, saying you love me and then j-j-just giving up? What am I supposed to do now?"Sean, you took our child from me. How could you think I'd just forgive you? If you don't make this right, I swear I'll never forgive you," Liliana yelled outside, her voice filled with madness. Inside, the plant was engulfed in flames. Shaking from head to toe, Liliana's screams slowly turned into a whisper. She clenched her hands tight, staring blankly at the fire. "If you're gone, what's left for me here?""Liliana!"Charles rushed over and saw Liliana moving toward the flames. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "What are you doing?"Liliana looked up, dazed, and saw Charles. She quickly stood up and grabbed his hand. "Charles, please. I'm begging you. Help me save Sean, please!"Charles's brow creased as he looked at the fiery red inferno, his fingers tensing. "Liliana, the fire's too big. Sean mi

Liliana shoved Sean aside and covered him with her body, taking a knife stab from Joanna. "Ugh..."Pain whitened Liliana's face, and blood dripped onto Sean's face. Reacting quickly, Sean rolled over, picked Liliana up in his arms, and seized Joanna's neck, twisting it hard until it cracked. Joanna's eyes bulged in disbelief as she stared at Sean."You..."She had not thought Sean would actually snap her neck. Her eyes were wide open, one hand clutching a knife, and the other holding a lighter.With her last breath, she tossed the lighter.A loud bang followed, and flames started to spread from that spot.Sean's eyes darkened as he carried Liliana and dashed for the exit. However, how could he outrun the swift spread of the fire while burdened with Liliana's weight?Liliana's eyes widened as she saw the flames creeping up behind them. She pushed Sean, urging him, "Go now, or it'll be too late!"However, Sean's eyes turned a deep red with emotion. "Liliana, I won't let go of you
