The Cherished Wife

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 depths of his eyes. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Noelle felt like she was about to overflow with love as she lay against Charles‘ chest. She bit down on her lip momentarily before lifting her head to press a kiss against his chin. “I bought some groceries to prepare your favorite dishes tonight!”

Noelle began heading toward the kitchen, but Charles pulled on her hand and said, “It’s been a long day for you. Why don’t you go get some rest? I’ll prepare dinner!”

“Oh, but…”

“Treat it as a reward,” Charles said as he tapped her nose gently, a smile spreading across his features. It’s a reward for your proactiveness!”

A blush crept across Noelle’s face as she gazed at Charles‘ retreating figure. She lifted a finger to touch the spot where Charles had touched just now, and it still felt slightly warm to the touch. A wave of emotions rippled its way through her, leaving her breathless.

Charles had always been quite the chef. This was a fact Noelle had learned from all the time they had spent together. However, today’s meal tasted even better than it usually did.

She had already snuck several looks at Charles, acting as if she were peeking at some sort of treasured possession. Charles had a rueful look on his face as he put his cutlery down and turned to look at Noelle. That move startled Noelle, and she bashfully lowered her gaze.

Charles smirked. “Aren’t you hungry?”

Noelle hurriedly shoveled several forkfuls of food into her mouth, lowering her head so much that her tiny face was about to come into contact with her plate.

Charles shook his head ruefully. “Let’s have dinner first We can talk about whatever’s on your mind later!” “Okay!” Noelle answered, feeling embarrassed. It was her first time sneaking looks at Charles, and he had caught her in the act.

Noelle did not have too much to eat. She sat primly in her chair and gazed at Charles when she was done,

She had to admit that Charles was extremely good–looking and that one would not tire of his looks easily. His calm demeanor was very attractive to her.

Noelle felt like she was about to go mad. Her mind was filled with nothing but thoughts of Charles.

Charles finally put his cutlery down and drummed his elegant–looking fingers on the table as he grinned.” You had something you wanted to say?”

Noelle nodded. “I told Grandpa about our relationship.”

Charles nodded. He had already guessed it when he called Noelle the other day. “What else?”

“My parents know too, but they don’t believe me. They think I’m lying and that there’s no way I would transfer the ownership of the shares to someone else.” Noelle scoffed as she shook her head.

“They really think I’m after the Shaw family’s fortune!”

Given their personalities, there was no way they would believe Noelle had transferred out the ownership of those shares.
