Noelle looked at Kelly with confusion, and Kelly smiled faintly. "Back then, I was completely devoted to Charles even though he didn't have me in his heart. Did you think I didn't know that? "But he still kept me by his side. I always thought I was different from the other women around him. No matter how many women came and went, I didn't care because I believed I could outlast them all."And he neither encouraged nor stopped me, as if silently approving of my actions. I foolishly thought that this was his way of showing I was special to him."Kelly paused, her voice softening. "I once believed that even if he didn't love me, staying by his side for the rest of my life would still make me happy. But later…""Later?" Noelle prompted, sensing there was more to the story. Suddenly, a thought struck her. "You met Seth's biological father?"Kelly looked at Noelle in surprise, then laughed bitterly. "Do you think I'm ridiculous? Proclaiming my love for Charles, only to end up having

"What about Jethro? Do you know him?"Kelly's hand instinctively tightened around the strap of her handbag, her face turning a shade paler."Charles, speak plainly. What exactly do you want from me?"Charles laughed softly. "I'm a businessman. I think you know that about me. I prefer making deals with smart people."As he spoke, he noticed Kelly's confusion. Rising to his feet, he slid his hands into his pockets.Standing with his back to Kelly, Charles looked out of the window, his voice calm but edged with steel. "Yves is a member of the Hoffman family. I don't know why he's targeting Nelly, but whether it's what's happening now or your abduction years ago, his goal is the same—to pressure me.""And so what? Charles, you should also understand—if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been taken by him in the first place!"Kelly was not naïve. She could not fully grasp Charles' intentions, but the fact that he had approached her meant he already had a plan.In the past, she migh

Kelly did not sleep well all night. Her mind felt muddled, as if someone had stuffed it with incomprehensible thoughts.She kept ruminating about her origins and her relationships with Noelle, Harrison, and the others.In her dream, the connections between people were unclear. She did not even know what she was trying to accomplish, yet every face appeared vividly.She saw Noelle, Grant, Harrison, and Shirley. Their images flickered in and out of her dream like fleeting shadows, disappearing as quickly as they had come.She tried desperately to follow in their footsteps, but no matter how fast she ran, they moved too quickly. Watching their figures grow more distant, Kelly felt as though she was trapped in a dense fog, unable to escape.Then, as she ran faster, she saw Seth. He stood shyly in the mist, waving at her and calling out softly, "Mommy."Her heart swelled with joy, and she ran toward him. However, as she drew closer, Seth disappeared, and in his place stood a tall, imp

"Of course. You're so adorable. Aunt Noelle will definitely like you," Kelly said, crouching down to Seth's level and gently pinching his nose."When you meet Aunt Noelle, remember to greet her properly, okay?""Okay! If Aunt Noelle likes me, I'll like Aunt Noelle too!""Mischief-maker!" Kelly chuckled. As they arrived at Noelle's hospital room, Kelly hesitated briefly before knocking on the door and pushing it open.Noelle was awake, and she was quietly reading a book. In the corner of the room, Charles sat on the sofa, engrossed in work on his laptop. Though neither spoke, the atmosphere between them felt harmonious.Kelly could not help but feel a pang of envy as she observed the scene. They looked so at ease together.Even while working, Charles seemed relaxed, a stark contrast to the cold and detached demeanor he often displayed around her.Kelly pressed her lips together, holding Seth's hand as they walked inside.Noelle set down her book and looked up, slightly surprised

That would mean Charles had met her before she saved him, which explained why he looked so shocked when he woke up that day.Though Charles never said anything, his behavior toward her during that period was exceptionally kind. Whatever Kelly asked for, Charles would agree to it.Kelly stared at Noelle, who appeared just as puzzled. From what she remembered, she had met Charles only after Xavier's betrayal. Before that, Charles did not exist in her world—at least not in her memory.Given how extraordinary Charles was, Noelle did not believe her memory could be so bad as to forget someone like him. She could not fathom not remembering their first meeting.Noelle pressed her lips together, looking troubled.Seeing her expression, Kelly quickly interjected, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I was just curious. It's not something I'm fixated on."Noelle shook her head. "There's nothing I can't share; it's just strange. I can't seem to recall when we first met. Accordi
