The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 289

Reflecting on it, Noelle realized that during her time with Xavier, they had never done anything truly intimate that couples usually did.

She could not help but chuckle softly and shook her head, mocking herself for only now recognizing the issues in her relationship with Xavier after so long.

“What are you laughing at?” Charles noticed the melancholic expression on Noelle’s face. With one hand on the steering wheel, he gently squeezed her hand with the other. “Not interested in watching the movie?

Noelle shook her head. “No, I just suddenly remembered some things from the past and realized how foolish I was before.”

Charles raised an eyebrow, immediately sensing Noelle’s emotions. He patted the back of her hand. ” There’s no need to dwell on the past. Your present is much better.”

Noelle looked up, smiling softly. “Don’t worry about me. I was just having a moment of reflection.” She was very aware of her situation and feelings.

She was much better now compared to before. “Are you really not going to tell me what you talked about with Grandpa?”

Charles chuckled at Noelle’s persistence. “There wasn’t much to it. I just told your grandpa that you were someone I pursued relentlessly, and I promised him that I would never let you down.” He squeezed her hand, adding, “If I ever wrong you, everything I have will be yours.”

Noelle’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing Charles teasingly say these words, she felt a pang of discomfort. She looked down at his slender hand holding hers, feeling his grip tighten slightly.

Charles‘ gentle voice reassured her, “That day will never come.”

May came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup. “Sir, this is the stew Ms. Noelle made for you. She insisted that you drink it.”

“You noticed too?” Sebastian was genuinely happy. “I knew my judgment was good. Charles is a good kid, and so is our Noelle!”
