Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 1761 - Bab 1770

"Mr. Yves Hoffman, I swear it wasn't me!"The woman was so terrified of Yves that she trembled all over. She could not bring herself to look at him, and his powerful presence left her feeling lost. She hung her head low. "Mr. Yves Hoffman, it wasn't me. I swear it wasn't me! I'm just a lowly servant, I don't know anything about this!"However, the more she denied it, the sharper Yves's gaze became, pinning her down so she did not dare look up.She felt a sharp sense of fear, but it was not as bad as the kind that Charles could make her feel."So it wasn't you?" Yves said with a smirk. "Maybe you don't realize what I'm capable of." He gestured to one of his guard service members."Yes, Mr. Yves Hoffman!"Since Charles had left Yves in charge, all of the guard service members guards in the Phoenix Tree Residence heeded his command.One guard stepped forward, and as he reached the woman, she started to shake like a leaf. "Yves, who do you think you are to do this to me... ah..."S

Yves gave a gentle smile and stroked Seth's hair. "Are you having a good time?""Yes!" Seth bobbed his head enthusiastically. "Bran and Bobby are really nice!" Seth had clearly made friends, and Yves' smile grew wider. However, then he turned to Kelly. "Would you like to visit the hospital?"Kelly's eyes lifted. "Is that okay?" She had been worried about Noelle's safety, but she knew that her presence might not help and might even be a hindrance. Besides, the kids needed someone to watch over them, so she had been trying to stay calm.When Yves made the offer, Kelly wanted to go. "How's Noelle doing?""Charles just called. The mom and babies are all doing great!" Yves told Kelly with a big smile, looking really happy. "It's a boy and a girl, but they came a bit early. They're still in their cozy incubators for now.""And how's Noelle?" Kelly asked quickly."She's fine too, just getting some rest," Yves replied, softly touching Kelly's forehead. Kelly blinked in surprise, looking

"Okay, as soon as Noelle gets out of the hospital and Ves comes back to the Hoffman family, we're going to throw a huge party. It's been ages since we've had such a good time, and with Yves and Liliana both here, it'll be perfect!" Maxwell announced, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he looked at Yves.Maxwell had thought his brother's family line had ended, but to his surprise, there was still Yves. He was beside himself with joy. "Ves, please come back home to the Hoffman family, and to the Collosus Group too!"Yves scrunched his face and was about to respond, but Kelly cut in quickly, "He'll definitely come back!"Yves paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes, but he quickly smoothed out his expression, hiding the flurry of emotions inside.The two families could not just stand around forever. After spending a little more time admiring the two adorable babies, they visited Noelle's hospital room. Since Noelle was still asleep, they all decided that it was time to head

Those people were so irritating. Could they not see Noelle was still out cold? There they were, acting all lovey-dovey right in front of him? Charles was really upset.Peter and Yves caught each other's eye and had to stifle a laugh. Charles had been all about showing off his own romance before, but then he could not handle a bit of theirs?"Are you guys going or what?"Peter smirked and replied, "Sure thing!"Once everyone had left, the big hospital room was quiet with just Charles and Liliana left. Liliana paused, looking from Charles to Noelle.She had thought about leaving with Peter and the rest, but she stayed because she had something on her mind. Charles could tell. He gently fixed Noelle's blanket before turning to Liliana, "You wanted to talk?"Liliana nodded, "Yeah.""Let's hear it."Charles had a pretty good guess already. It was all about old family drama. He had not wanted Liliana to go back to the Hoffmans, and it was not just to be mean. With her awkward place i

"Don't worry, these small fries are no match for me," Linda boasted with confidence. "Even if I can't beat them physically, one poke with my instrument and they'll be begging for mercy!"Sean smirked when he heard that. "Alright, I've already scoped the place out. The first floor is where the servants bunk, so let's not stir them up. The second floor is Milo's and the Baker family head's pad. Janet and Jace are on the third floor — remember, Janet is our mark, so don't mess up the rooms."Sean pointed at the floor plan he had managed to get his hands on.Linda shot Sean an impatient look. "Okay. I'm not a kid, you know!"After stashing their gear, Sean gestured to the side. "You take the southeast approach, and I'll start from this end."With that, they set off on their mission.The guards might have had some fight in them, but to Sean and Linda, they were a walk in the park to deal with, especially in the dead of night when guards were sleepy and dropped their guard.
