The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 

A slight blush crept onto Noelle’s cheeks as she turned to Charles, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she said, “Girls usually have a thing for the domineering types!” 

When she saw the slight look of disbelief on Charles‘ face, she bit down on her lip and added, “I’m serious, but this movie is stretching things out a little too far. If such domineering CEOs actually existed in the real world, I think it’d be easier for their presence to be accepted if they aren’t the best in everything!” 

“Mm–hmm!” Charles said as he raised an eyebrow. He did not retaliate but did not add on anything else either. 

Noelle felt somewhat embarrassed and hurriedly turned to watch the movie playing on the screen once again. However, she could not get over the fact that Charles was holding her left hand, and she could feel her heart racing. 

Noelle whispered, “Um… My palm is sweaty.” 

When Charles heard that, he gave Noelle a long, knowing look before he unfurled her fingers, placed her palm flat against his thigh, and wiped it on the legs of his pants. 

Noelle was speechless.. 

“How am I supposed to eat when you’re doing that?” Noelle added, “Charles, can you not be so “Before she could say the word “childish“, Charles used his other hand to grab a handful of popcorn and brought it toward Noelle’s mouth. 

Noelle widened her eyes as she stared at Charles in disbelief. She had no idea what was going through the mind of the man beside her. 

“Swallow it!” Charles‘ deep, sonorous voice was extremely pleasant to listen to. In fact, it sounded even better than the voice of the movie’s male lead. 

Noelle recalled how Rowena and Teresa had talked about voice actors revered in the entertainment industry for having pleasant voices, to the point where just listening to them talk was enough to make one swoon. 

Noelle had used to think that was ridiculous, but now, as she gazed at Charles and listened to him talk, it felt like that statement was not as ridiculous as it once seemed. 

“Why are you looking at me?” Charles chuckled. “Didn’t you say you wanted popcorn? Are you dumbfounded?” 

Noelle hurriedly swallowed the popcorn. Her mouth felt dry, and Charles‘ slender arm immediately reached over to hand Noelle her soda. 

Noelle’s eyes widened, and she did not move for a whole second. Charles said patiently,” Have some soda so you don’t choke, but don’t drink too much in one go.”

Noelle instinctively opened her mouth to sip some soda before she realized how odd they 

must look. 

Right then, she heard a woman sitting behind them say, “Look at how wonderful her boyfriend. is. Not only is he accompanying his girlfriend to watch a movie, but he’s also giving her food and drinks. 

“And look at you! You made up all sorts of excuses when I asked you to watch a movie with me, and now that we’re here, you’re napping!” 

“Well, why don’t you date him instead if he’s so wonderful?” 

“You…” 

Noelle did not know what to say. She turned sideways to glance behind her and determine where the couple was seated before she turned to Charles and pointed to herself as she asked, “Is she talking about us?”
