Semua Bab The Cherished Wife: Bab 221 - Bab 230

Noelle continued talking to Samuel, but he soon fell asleep because of his frail health. She pulled a blanket over him and gazed at him for a while before taking her purse and leaving the room. Both Julian and Jade were still outside when she left the room. Upon seeing her, Jade hurried over and asked, “What did your grandfather tell you? Did you talk to him about the shares?” Jade grabbed Noelle by the arm and shook it violently. “Come on! Say something. Has he agreed to transfer ownership of the stocks to your sister?” “Let me go!” If Noelle had harbored any hope for Jade to eventually start treating her better, she could admit now that she had been a blind fool. Jade’s intentions were obvious. She could not care less about Noelle or about Grandpa’s health. All she wanted was the shares. “Grandpa is still unwell, yet all you care about are those shares and not his health.” Noelle gritted her teeth. “I’ve already told you that I won’t help you with that. It’s up to Grandpa h

Noelle gritted her teeth and glanced at the arm Julian was gripping before she looked up. "What do you think, Dad?” “Did you really give them to Joshua? Have you gone mad? Your grandfather adopted him as a child, and he’s not even an actual Shaw! How could you transfer ownership of those shares to an outsider? Do you know just how many shares your grandfather owns? If you’ve really given them to Joshua, City Ring Corp. will have to undergo an entire structural change!” “I don’t think it’s that serious!” Noelle chuckled, placing a hand on Julian’s before shoving it away with great force. “Uncle Joshua has lived with Grandpa for many years, and Grandpa is genuinely fond of him. He’s long treated Uncle Joshua like a member of the Shaw family! Dad, are you denying that he’s part of the family when not even Grandpa is doing that?” “What do you know? At the end of the day, he’s not related to the family by blood. Your grandfather might be nice to him, but who knows what’s actually goin

Noelle turned away without hesitating and drove off. She had never imagined Xavier would go this far and pull such disgusting moves. How dare he come buttering her up now that he knew she was a shareholder of City Ring Corp? Did he really think she was an idiot he could summon as he pleased?She had not reached the point where she had that little self-respect!Winter stood in a corner and watched the exchange between Xavier and Noelle. Her hands were gripping the wall tightly as she gritted her teeth and glared at Noelle until she finally left. For a moment, Winter wished to herself that the wall in her grasp was actually Noelle so that she could strangle her to death. Why? Why were both her paternal and maternal grandfathers so nice to that bitch? Her paternal grandfather had even transferred ownership of his shares to Noelle! As for Xavier… Well, she had always known he had only gotten together with her because he had his eyes set on the shares she owned. However, she did

Noelle saw Charles standing in front of the closet with a look that signaled he was deep in thought. She bit down on her lip as she walked over hesitantly. “I… I was thinking that since we’ve… So, I decided to bring your clothes over. Are you mad?” Noelle snuck a careful look at Charles’ face, observing the changes in his expression. She was worried Charles might get mad at what she had done. Charles grinned, a warm and fuzzy feeling washing over him as he gazed at Noelle. He reached out to ruffle her hair before he pulled her into his arms. “Silly girl, why would I be mad? I’m absolutely delighted!”He had not expected her to have that sort of self-awareness and had never imagined she would be this proactive. How could he get mad at that?Upon hearing what Charles said, Noelle relaxed and rested her head against his chest. “Why are you back home this early today?” “I missed you!” His low voice rang out as he reached up to ruffle Noelle’s soft hair. There was a sparkle in the d

Noelle nestled herself against Charles’ back as if she were a kitten. “I’ll take good care of you, and I’ll always be on your side!” Charles grinned. There was a warm and loving look in the depths of his eyes that Noelle could not see. “Alright. I’ll always be on your side too. But, Mrs. Hoffman, I don’t think I’ll be able to finish washing these dishes by tonight if you continue hugging me!” Charles said teasingly with a grin on his face. Noelle immediately let go of him and jumped away from him upon hearing that. She maintained a distance between them. A blush crept across her face as she said, “Alright, go ahead and clean up, then. I’ll go watch some TV!” Noelle hurried into the living room. Charles grinned when he turned and saw her escaping the kitchen. Noelle’s heart was racing. It was her first time making the first move, and she was still in disbelief. After all, she had never been the one to make the first move in the years she and Charles had known each other.As f
