Chapter 123
Noelle smiled. When she saw that Charles was serving her food, she hurriedly took her bowl from him and said, “Let me do it!”
Charles merely smiled as he said, “Let’s eat!”
Noelle enjoyed her meal thoroughly. After all, it had been some time since she could eat so freely. However, she noticed that Charles did not have much to eat. It was evident that he was not the biggest fan of spicy food, and she quietly took note of that.
As the two headed downstairs after finishing the meal, they bumped into another couple leaving the cinema. It sounded like they were discussing the plot of the movie they had just watched. “You said you’d watch the movie with me, but you ended up falling asleep!”
“It’s not my fault! Girls love watching miscommunication tropes, but do misunderstandings really happen that frequently in real life?”
“But these movies are inspired by real life! Of course it’s an exaggerated version of real life! There’s no way it would be identical to daily life. I don’t care. You promised to watch this with me!
“Pfft…”
Once there was enough distance between them, Noelle began laughing.
Charles was standing right beside Noelle, and he could not help but raise an eyebrow when he saw the amused look on her face. “What are you laughing at?”
Noelle turned to him and shook her head slightly. “What the girl wanted was simple. All she wanted was for her boyfriend to keep her company,” Then, she added, “Girls need to be cajoled. It doesn’t really matter if he watches the movie or not, as long as he’s not too flippant about it.”
“Oh?” A glint appeared in Charles‘ eyes as he glanced at his watch. “It’s still early. Let’s go watch a movie!”
“Huh?” Noelle asked, startled. “Watch a movie?” Hadn’t they been talking about another couple? How did the topic end up on themselves again?
Watching a movie with Charles Hoffman?
Noelle could not imagine that happening. “You want to watch a movie with me?”
“Yes. Is something wrong with that?” Charles asked as he called Ronald on the phone. “Buy me two tickets to a movie. Yes, at Avenue Mall. What movie?” Charles frowned slightly as he took Noelle’s hand and pulled her forward. He swept his gaze across the posters of newly released movies around the shopping mall’s fifth floor as he said, “Hmm, buy me tickets to Loving You“!”

“Loving You“?” Ronald was stunned. “Mr. Hoffman, are you sure?”
“Do you have an opinion you want to share?” Charles asked. Ronald immediately shook his head and said, “No, Mr. Hoffman. I’ll buy you the tickets right away. Do you want to watch the movie now?”
“Yes, get me tickets to the next screening available!” Charles said before hanging up the phone. When he saw Noelle giving him a confused look, he asked her bemusedly, you looking at me like that?”
