Noelle's eyes widened in surprise before she turned to Sebastian and Grant with a hint of suspicion. "Grandpa, do you know Mr. Anderson?"Recovering from her initial shock, Noelle quickly clarified, "Grandpa, this gentleman is Mr. Anderson. He might resemble my Uncle Joshua, but he's definitely not him!" she said, her cheeks flushing slightly as she glanced at Grant. "Mr. Anderson, meet my grandpa. He used to teach at Vista University.""Pleased to meet you, Sir Jones!" Grant reached out, shaking hands with Sebastian. "My name's Grant."Sebastian locked eyes with Grant, his gaze intense and evaluating. It was only after a tense moment that Sebastian finally let go as Noelle nervously watched. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Anderson.""Grandpa, Mr. Anderson is new to Brookville. He's working with Colossus Group, and today, I'm showing him some good old-fashioned hospitality!"Sebastian nodded. "This young man does bear a striking resemblance to Joshua, but they're quite different in charac

Charles let out a sharp snort. "If you're just here to waste my time, get lost!""Wait, wait, wait," Sean quickly said, hands up in a peace offering. "I'm here for real business, I swear!" He sauntered over and perched on the edge of Charles's desk, tapping it with his long fingers. "Collosus Group is in cahoots with Canfield Group, right?""Canfield Group?" Charles raised an eyebrow, curious."Come on. Yankel’s group! Don't play dumb about the real dad of Liliana's kid!" Sean's voice carried a hint of exhaustion. "You know the deal. Bobby's got leukemia. Only his real parents' bone marrow can save him, and Liliana says Yankel's the guy."So, what do you think? Is he Bobby's dad?" Charles rose to his feet, catching a glimpse of an unusually crestfallen expression on Sean's face.Sean's lips quivered as he forced a smile. "What do you think?" He did not want to believe it, but this was about Bobby’s well-being and safety. Liliana would never play games with a child's life, so there

Puppy love?Charles squinted slightly, taking in Noelle's triumphant look, his eyes sparkling with joy. A smile played at the corners of his mouth, and he asked, "So, what are you trying to say?"He was all smiles, his gaze bright and clear.Noelle mirrored his smile, her own lips curving up. "Don't you have something you want to tell me?""You caught on?" Charles confirmed with a smile. He pulled her close, chuckling softly. "You said you were in a bad mood?"Noelle bit her lip and gently pushed him away. "Weren't you supposed to come back late today?"Charles quirked an eyebrow and playfully tousled Noelle's hair before taking her hand and leading her to the living room couch. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to his side. "Are you upset with me?""Not at all. I’m not moody like you." Noelle stuck out her lower lip in a mock pout. "Did you get something to eat?"He shook his head, prompting Noelle to gently push him aside as she stood up. "I picked up some gro

Noelle quickly made her way to the kitchen doorway. Charles, noticing her distress, approached with concern. "What's the matter?" He could tell something was off. "Not feeling well? Do you have a stomachache?""I..." Noelle barely got the word out before nausea overwhelmed her again. She shoved past Charles and bolted for the trash can, heaving. Since she had not eaten much that day, all that came up was a bitter taste.Noelle was heaving so hard that she thought her stomach would turn inside out. Charles stood by, his gaze intensifying with each passing moment. His lips were drawn tight, and there was a curious sparkle in his eyes as he watched her struggle.Finally catching her breath, Noelle noticed Charles's unwavering attention. "What's with the stare? I'm okay, really. I just didn't eat much today, and my stomach's a bit upset. That meatloaf smell just hit me wrong. Don't fuss over me. I'm tough!" she insisted.Charles kept his eyes on her, a playful smile dancing in his deep

Noelle's words were accompanied by a gentle glow in her eyes.She marveled at how amazing life could be. Just a moment ago, she had no idea she was pregnant and felt nothing. Knowing that there was actually a little one inside her now, Noelle felt like she could almost sense its presence.Her hand moved subconsciously to her belly, and her face lit up with a soft, beautiful smile.Charles watched Noelle, his entire demeanor radiating calmness."Okay, I'll call Sean right now to set up a doctor's appointment to get you checked out," Charles said, springing into action.Sean had only parted ways with Charles a few hours earlier and was surprised to get another call from him so soon. "What's going on?""Get an obstetrician on standby for tomorrow. Anytime works!"Charles's voice buzzed from the phone. Sean had just walked through the door, chatting with Liliana. Because he had hit the speaker button by mistake, Charles's voice, which was laced with a weird kind of thrill, filled th
