Chapter 176
Noelle felt like she was floating mid-air in a dream-like world. In her dreams, a man held her hand as they took a walk together. When they grew tired, they lay on the grass to take a break. As she closed her eyes, the man leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss onto her lips.
Noelle smiled. Things felt so sweet in the dream that she could not help but want more. She reached her arms over and wrapped them around Charles' neck just as he was about to let go of her, burrowing herself onto Charles.
The look in Charles' eyes darkened. He used one arm to stabilize himself on the bed and lowered his gaze to look at Noelle, who seemed extremely happy. The corners of her lips curved upward as she tugged at him and called out, "Charles!"
Although her voice was soft, he heard her.
A glimmer appeared in his eyes as he lowered himself and kissed Noelle again. This time, though, the kiss was not a gentle one.
He had always been someone who would do whatever it took to get what he wanted, even if it meant using extreme methods. Noelle was the only person he exercised all his patience with.
It was not like he had not been anxious or impatient before this. Noelle took a lot of time before she was ready to become emotionally attached to a relationship, and she exercised even more caution now because of the betrayal she had once been subjected to.

Charles deepened the kiss, nimbly drawing his lips across the outline of Noelle's tantalizing lips.
Noelle could sense the man's
enthusiasm even in her dreams. Unable to control the passion building up within her chest, she braced her arms against Charles' shoulders as she tried to open her eyes before closing them completely again.
The smile did not leave her face the entire time. It truly felt like she was in a dream.
Finally, Charles was satisfied, and he

He lifted the covers off himself so that he could get out of bed. However, Noelle seemed to guess what he was about to do and reached out to grab his arm, her lips forming a pout as she called out, "Don't go!"
Charles felt his heart immediately softening. "Alright, I won't leave!" He reached out to pat the back of Noelle's hand and squeezed it gently as he said, "I won't leave. I'll stay right here with you!"
Upon hearing Charles' promise, Noelle pursed her lips together and smiled as if something marvelous had just happened to her. She fell asleep once
more.

What he wanted was her consent. They were husband and wife. He did not want her to agree because she felt obligated to but because she felt naturally compelled to.
"Rest up. I'll always be with you!"
