Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 1071 - Bab 1080

One fine day, Colossus Group welcomed a special guest—Kelly’s son, Seth. It was not Kelly who brought him over, but one of the Hoffman family’s help staff instead. Apparently, the child had been sobbing and asking for Kelly at home, so Sir Anderson did not know what else to do other than ask the help to bring Seth to the office. At that very moment, Kelly was photocopying documents on the 27th floor. She had spent the past few days trying to enter Charles’ office and gain closer access to him, but every attempt so far had been unsuccessful. Just earlier, she had tried once again but was told that Charles was not in. It frustrated Kelly, but all she could do was repress her frustration. There was actually nowhere in particular Charles needed to be. However, Noelle seemed to be taking deliberate steps to avoid him recently and had spent the past few days out on business trips. This meant Charles had no time to speak to her at all. The number of times the two had met at the office

“Yes, that seems to be the case. His DNA isn’t an extremely high match to Grandpa’s, but he is still a member of the Hoffman family.” Charles felt annoyance wash over him whenever he thought of those results. He was confident that he was not Seth’s father, but this fact caused him so much worry. The Hoffman family was huge, but only a few were direct descendants of the original family line. Other than himself, the men of the original family line included Sir Hoffman, his father, and his Uncle Henry. There was no way Uncle Henry would have children with another woman, which made his father the most likely suspect. If that were the case, Charles was at a loss as to what he should do. Charles pinched the space between his eyebrows. It seemed he had run into a massive problem this time. When Noelle noticed the look on Charles’ face, the first thing she thought of was not the fact that Charles had lied to her but everything that was going on between him and the Hoffman family. “You…”

Kelly's words were like a thunderclap in the clear sky, leaving everyone around stunned. Though she did not explicitly state her point, her comments strongly implied a connection between her and Charles, sparking a wave of speculation.Rumors spread like wildfire. By the next day, as Noelle and Charles resumed their usual routine of him dropping her off at work, whispers filled the air at the entrance of Collosus Group. The moment Noelle walked through the doors, she caught snippets of hushed conversations."Did you hear? Ms. Anderson brought her child to the company yesterday and claimed the kid is Mr. Hoffman's!""Yes, exactly! That child must be about three years old. Who would've thought Mr. Hoffman already had a son that grown?""But I don't think Mr. Hoffman has any feelings for Kelly. If anything, he seems more interested in Noelle from the project department... Didn't he spend all that time driving her to and from work?""True, but who can say for sure? They look so alike.

Noelle's brows carried a faint smile as she lowered her gaze, making it impossible for Kelly to read her expression.She casually reached into her bag, pulled out her phone, and began scrolling through it as though she had all the time in the world. Her demeanor made it clear—Kelly was no more significant than the air around her.Kelly, however, could not let it go. Feeling humiliated, she pressed on, "Ms. Shaw, are you upset? I didn't mean anything by what I said earlier, I just…"Noelle tapped a few keys, her smile broadening when she saw a reply on her screen. Slipping her phone back into her bag, she looked up at Kelly with a faint but pointed smile. "Upset? Why should I be upset?""Oh.." Kelly faltered, awkwardly smiling as she stammered, "I-I was worried my words might've upset you. I just thought…""Ms. Anderson, you're truly a saint to be worrying about the world's troubles before anyone else," Noelle interrupted while chuckling softly. "Don't worry about me. My heart is f

Noelle laughed lightly at his words. "Focus on driving, will you?"Charles responded with a hum, shifting his gaze back to the road as he pressed the gas pedal. They sped away from the parking lot.Meanwhile, back in the underground parking area, Kelly's expression twisted with anger as she stared at the now-distant vehicle. Her hands clenched into tight fists, and for the first time, she truly felt the sting of humiliation—especially coming from Charles.How could this happen to her?Even three years ago, when her pregnancy was discovered and the child turned out not to be Charles', he had remained calm, never accusing or blaming her. Kelly had thought she held a special place in his heart. For years, she believed she was special to him, someone unique.Yet now, with someone new in the picture, Kelly finally realized that all those years meant nothing.As she bit her lip, she hesitated for a moment before pulling out her phone and making a call. Only then did she leave the parki
