Charles' eyes flickered as he gently kissed Noelle's forehead. "How did I lie to you?" he asked softly.

"You said just once. But how many times was it?" Noelle mumbled with her eyes half-closed.

"Hmm? I think you misunderstood, my dear," he replied with a slight smirk.

Noelle protested weakly, "Next time, you're sleeping in the guest room."

Charles shook his head in amusement. He then carried her to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, she kept her eyes closed the entire time and eventually fell asleep.

After bathing her, he gently placed her back in bed and tucked her in. He then changed into casual homewear and went to his study.
