Fred's stomach was acting up again, so Noelle massaged him to ease his pain. But she couldn't get over her fear; if that man had splashed her instead, she'd be the one disfigured at the moment. The thought stuck in her throat like a bitter pill she couldn't swallow."Elle, why don't you take a break and let Quentin do it? He eats like a horse every day and doesn't even bother to help!" Fred grumbled, worried that Noelle might wear herself out.Quentin was at a loss for words. "Why don't you take a break?" He walked over, attempting to mimic the way she massaged Fred. Noelle didn't even spare him a glance. "You don't know how to." Quentin felt a lump in his throat. "Teach me then!" He frowned and gave her a meaningful look. Fred slowly drifted off to sleep. Noelle tucked him in and said apathetically, "I think you should learn it from a traditional medicine practitioner, Mr. Lowe. I'm afraid I don't have the time to teach you." It was almost daybreak; it was time she left for th

The woman was at a loss for words. "If he wasn't waiting for me, was he waiting for that woman?" she wondered, eyeing Noelle suspiciously. Then, she huffed and walked away. Christian ordered Julian, "Cancel the 9:30 am flight and book two tickets for the next available one." With that, he returned to the VIP lounge.Noelle checked her phone and noticed there was a flight leaving at 9:40 am. It had some seats left, but the tickets were way too expensive—over ten thousand dollars.Soon, Julian walked over and asked for her ID. Noelle handed it to him, and he returned shortly after with two boarding passes. Noelle offered to pay him for the plane tickets, but he said, "You can give it to Mr. Blackwood." So, she transferred the money to Christian. The man across from her set his phone down on the table, pulled out another one from his pocket and started using it. Noelle received a notification of a refunded transaction. She looked up and glanced at the man across from her. Chri

Noelle hesitated for a moment. She looked troubled as she gazed at Zara. Eleanor didn't know Zara, and since the invitation was only for her, it would be impolite for her to bring someone along without prior notice. Noelle pondered for a moment before responding, "I'll bring you along another time, okay? I'm not particularly close to the Blackwoods, so it wouldn't be a good idea for me to bring someone along. But I'll definitely introduce you to other prominent families in the future!"The Blackwood family was the most prestigious family in Collinview, while the Xanthos family was a powerhouse in the medical field. Both families held esteemed positions in their respective domains. Noelle figured it would be better to take Zara to her house instead. Zara discreetly curled her lips in disdain, as she didn't believe that Noelle had the connections to introduce her to other prominent families. After all, Noelle was just the daughter of a widowed schoolteacher; what high-society connec

Zara had put so much effort into dressing up. Yet, Eleanor was focused on the scarf Noelle had casually bought. Zara discreetly clenched her fists. Hoping to attract Eleanor's attention, she smiled and said, "Grandma Hudson, that scarf looks fantastic on you! Elle definitely knew what she was doing when she chose it!"Christian asked the butler, "Since when did I have a younger sister?"The butler could also tell something was off. Noelle's friend was overstepping. Who did she think she was, calling Eleanor "Grandma Hudson"? Moreover, she'd planted herself right in front of Eleanor ever since she walked in, almost as if she was afraid Eleanor wouldn't notice her. The butler walked up to Zara and said, "Miss, please take a seat outside.""Do we have extra seats?" Christian asked slyly.The butler shook his head. "No." The guest list and seating arrangements were all planned in advance. "So, are you suggesting she sit on your lap?" Christian asked.Even at his age, the butler'

Eleanor responded, "He's just a little rascal!"Christian fell silent.Just then, his phone chimed. It was a message from Noelle. "My apologies, Mr. Christian. I won't be able to say goodbye to Grandma Hudson because the hospital has just called me in for an emergency. Please let Grandma Hudson, Mr. Steven, and Madam Xenos know on my behalf. Thanks!"By the time he got to the gates, Noelle's car had already left. Accompanied by Steven Blackwood and Beatrice Xenos, Eleanor saw Mabel out. Eleanor said, "Let's keep in touch more often. Who knows when we'll kick the bucket one day?" Eleanor and Mabel had lost touch years ago due to their different interests. Eleanor was surprised when Mabel showed up, as it was usually Michael who came to celebrate her birthday. Michael couldn't make it as he had a surgery that day. Mabel looked at the loving middle-aged couple and remarked, "I wish I had a daughter-in-law like yours; she looks so thoughtful and caring!"Eleanor chuckled. "You're
