The Cherished Wife의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1731 - 챕터 1740

On the day Kelly was discharged from the hospital, Noelle had originally planned to pick her up. However, as her belly grew larger, it became impossible for her to move around freely.Not only did Charles refuse to let her exert herself, but even Kelly would not allow Noelle to go through the trouble of making the trip.In the end, Kelly was taken to the Smith residence. Given that she was now recognized as Harrison's daughter, it was only natural for her to live there. Plus, Harrison was adamant about it.The moment he learned Kelly wanted to see him, he had ordered the household staff to prepare a room for her. He had even arranged a room next to hers for Seth, carefully decorating it with all sorts of toys suited for a young boy.Harrison welcomed Kelly home, making it clear that she was free to do whatever she wanted. As for changing her last name, he had consulted her opinion.Kelly, however, felt it did not matter much either way. Seeing that, Harrison chose not to push the

Charles narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a restless energy rising within him that was barely held in check. He leaned down, bringing his lips close to Noelle's ear, and whispered, "You enchantress."It would have been fine if he had not spoken. But the moment he did, Noelle's competitive streak flared.She hooked her arms around Charles' neck and smirked. "If I'm an enchantress, what does that make you?"Charles' eyes flickered as he looked down at her belly that was round as a ball, and let out a deep sigh."A wandering monk.""You're so improper!" Noelle gave him a playful glare and huffed. "Can't you see where we are? Do you always act this shamelessly?""You're my wife," Charles stated matter-of-factly. "If I say things like this, it only proves how irresistible you are."There was no denying it now that Charles had truly mastered the art of seduction.He had a knack for teasing her, making her heart race, but then leaving her hanging, unable to do anything about it.It

Harrison smiled as he looked at Kelly and Noelle, clearly pleased."Sean is still busy right now, so we'll wait for him. Kelly, let me introduce you to the family. This is your second uncle, Hayes, and your Aunt Savannah."Over there is your Aunt Yitty, and you also have a third aunt, but she's not in Brookville at the moment. Your grandfather had some business to attend to today—he went to see an old comrade but will be back later. And, of course, you already know Noelle and Charlie.""Hello, Uncle Hayes, Aunt Savannah, Aunt Yitty," Kelly greeted politely.Yitty smiled warmly and nodded. "How wonderful!"She then pulled out an envelope with some allowance and handed it to Kelly. "When Noelle first came home, I gave her one, so I can't treat you any differently.""Thank you, Aunt Yitty!"Following her lead, Hayes and Savannah also handed Kelly envelopes. Then, seeing how delighted Seth looked, they gave him several as well.Seth had always been a reserved child, shy and withdra

Bob's sudden gesture nearly blinded everyone with its extravagance. No one had expected him to be so generous.It was Kelly who reacted first, quickly standing up to refuse."Bob, this really isn't necessary. Seth is still young; he doesn't need something like this. We're all family, so there's no need to give money or gifts."Even though no one here lacked money and Bob's gesture was not a big deal to him, Kelly still felt uneasy accepting it. But Bob simply shook his head."I'm giving it to Seth, not to you," he said before crouching down to meet Seth's gaze."Call me Uncle Bob, hmm?"Seth seemed a little nervous but blinked his big eyes and gathered his courage."Uncle Bob!" he said clearly.Bob smiled and handed the card to him. "This is from me, your uncle.""Thank you, Uncle Bob!" Seth happily took the card, then looked at Kelly.Since Bob had already insisted, Kelly felt it would be inappropriate to refuse again."If your uncle gave it to you, then you can keep it," s

After dinner, Charles took Noelle home. Initially, Noelle had wanted to stay longer, but given her pregnancy and how late it was, the Smiths did not insist on keeping them.Just as they were about to leave, Yves caught up with Charles at the door. "Thanks."Charles smirked. "No need for thanks. I prefer something more tangible."Yves raised an eyebrow, and Charles chuckled. "As her brother-in-law, you should be more considerate. Nelly is due soon, and I won't have time to oversee Collosus Group. So..."Yves let out a cold laugh. "You're playing this well. Aren't you afraid I'll just swallow up the entire Collosus Group?""That would still take some skill, wouldn't it?" Charles' sharp eyes glanced back at the house. "On the surface, things might look stable, but I suggest you take it easy. You'd be better off making use of Sean and Bob. A good relationship with your brothers-in-law will only help you. Anyway, I'm off."Yves watched Charles walk away, rubbing his chin. It was no
