Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 1701 - Bab 1710

Noelle was right—the staff had indeed sorted everything out to make it easy for her to check. Noelle was expecting a baby, so Charles would not dream of letting her do anything too tough. The materials were straightforward and simple to understand.It was all about how the company was run, the new artists they were training, and the money they were spending. It was really just a bunch of lists, and Noelle did not have to sweat the details.Kelly spent a couple of hours on the material, and once she got going, she realized it was not as hard as she had feared.When she looked up again, she saw Noelle awake and having a blast with Seth and the rest. Seth and Bran seemed done with their tough guy acts and were buzzing around Noelle, super curious about whether the baby would be a boy or a girl.Bobby was the quietest one there. He was the youngest and the shyest, so he clung to Linda's leg, looking up at her with big eyes and asking for some candy. Kelly watched the sweet moment and f

Meanwhile, Kelly entered the address her godfather had given her into the GPS. It led her to a spot right in the heart of downtown, and she drove straight there.Kelly stepped out of the car and helped Seth with his seatbelt before lifting him out. "Come on, Seth. We're going to visit Grandpa today!""Grandpa? Is Grandpa back?" Seth clearly remembered the man. Kelly nodded with a smile. "Yes, the one who always gives you sweet treats!"First, Kelly and Seth stopped at the mall to pick up some presents. Then, they headed to the address her godfather had given her.Arriving at a fancy apartment complex, Kelly checked in with security before going up. She rang the doorbell and was quickly greeted with the sound of the door unlocking. "Kelly, is that you?""Yes, Godfather!" Kelly greeted the man with a warm smile. "It's been so long, Godfather. Have you been well?""Very well. Come in and have a seat!"The old man welcomed Kelly inside. His gaze rested on her as he nodded in approva

The call ended before Yves could try to find out where it came from. The phone he had was not high-tech enough to track down Kelly's exact location."Who's there?"Yves looked up quickly and saw some shadows nearby. "Come out!"Andrew and a bunch of people stepped out of the shadows. "Mr. Yves Hoffman, you're really on your toes!"Andrew and his friends had been tailing Yves, curious about his intentions. They were not sure if Yves had anything to do with Kelly's disappearance. However, just minutes before, Charles had figured out that Yves was not the kidnapper, which was why Andrew's group had to come out of hiding."Are you one of Charles's guys?" Yves asked, recognizing the man who was always with Charles like a trusted officer."Andrew!" Andrew said, introducing himself. "Are you looking for Ms. Anderson too, Mr. Yves?""It wasn't you?""Mr. Yves, you must be joking. Ms. Anderson is our lady's sister. We wouldn't be involved in such a thing!" Andrew explained, pulling out

"Do you think I'd still believe you?" Kelly cut Fred off. "Was everything a lie from the start? Did you get close to me and help me just so you could use me and Seth as pawns one day?""You're very smart!""No, I'm not smart at all. If I were, I wouldn't have agreed to meet you today. If I were smart, I wouldn't have brought Seth to see you!" Kelly was furious. She could not believe that Fred, whom she thought was a good person, was actually Yves's real dad. "Yves turned into a killer because of you, right? How could you be so heartless?"“Heartless? You think you know what heartless is?" Fred scoffed. "If he hadn't stepped in, Charles would never have let him off the hook. That's real heartlessness!""You're making things up. He could've lived in a world without hate and had a safe and quiet life. He would be nothing like he is now, losing his innocence and hurting people left and right!" Kelly stared down Fred, her eyebrows knitted together in anger. "Why did you bring me here? A

"Enough!"Fred kicked Kelly, and she fell to the ground, overwhelmed. She was already hurt, and Fred's kick made her cough up blood."Mommy!"Seth was accidentally knocked down too, but he quickly scrambled to his feet. "Mom, Mom!"You meanie!"Seth stood up, his face red with anger. "You can't bully my mom!" In a flash, he dashed forward, grabbed the man's leg, and bit down as hard as he could.Fred had not expected Seth to bite him. He kicked angrily again, sending Seth flying."Seth!" Kelly cried out. "Fred, how could you? Seth's just a little boy!"Kelly pushed through her pain, rushed to Seth, and burst into tears. "It's okay, Seth. It doesn't hurt. Don't cry. I'm fine!" She regretted saying those things that had made Fred so angry.Fred was nothing like Yves. Yves would never hit her or a child, but Fred was cruel and heartless.Kelly cried as she comforted Seth, who was sobbing from the pain. However, he bravely got up, hugged his mom, and started comforting her instea
