The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 514

"Over here!" Charles waved her over. The scent had Noelle forgetting all about her staunch vow not to forgive a certain someone. She dashed to the table and burst into laughter at the sight of the soup. "How on earth did you know I was craving creamy mushroom soup?"

She had been dreaming of soup the night before, but whipping up creamy mushroom soup was not exactly easy for them with their hectic schedules. Noelle would've rather spent her time working or sleeping. She never expected Charles to surprise her with the very dish first thing in the morning.

Charles flashed a grin. "Take a seat. Becky brought over some homemade kimchi a while back, and today, it's the star of the show."

"Becky?" Noelle's eyes sparkled. "Ronald mentioned she's from Lacindra, right? They're famous for their killer pickled radishes!" Chatting away, Noelle ladled out two bowls of soup and popped open the box. The rich scent of radishes hit her, and she could not resist exclaiming, "Wow, that smells amazing!"

"Eat up, we're running out of time."

"Got it!" Noelle nodded and started to eat with focus, but then she suddenly stopped and looked up. "Oh, I can't go with you today!"

"Huh?" Charles raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"

Noelle hesitated. "You forgot about last night? Janet at Collosus Group, remember? She nearly caught us." The thought of the close call made Noelle uneasy. She might have been spotted if Charles had not distracted Janet at the last second.
