The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 579

"You… You…" Noelle's face flushed instantly, especially hearing Charles so shamelessly say such things. She was at a loss for words. "You're so shameless!"

Charles just laughed, setting down the documents in his hand. His long fingers brushed against his chin thoughtfully before he said, "How is it shameless? I'm speaking the truth. Nelly, we're married; talking about these things is perfectly normal. Or are you feeling shy?"

Noelle pursed her lips. "How did I not notice you were like this before?" She remembered when she first met him, with his serious face and seemingly upright demeanor. Who would have thought that he would show his true colors after marriage?

Charles squinted his eyes and chuckled. There was a touch of helplessness in his expression.

Since Noelle refused to come over, he walked up to her instead and gently took her hand. His broad palm enveloped Noelle's small, delicate hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Your hand is a bit cold. It's winter now; you should keep warm even at home."

"Mm." Noelle felt her heart soften even more. "I know," she said, then nestled her hand into Charles' palm. "This way, it won't be cold."

Charles' eyes were full of warmth as he lightly brushed Noelle's nose. "Are you hungry?"

Noelle had not noticed how hungry she was, but now that he mentioned it, she realized she was indeed a bit hungry. She touched her stomach and nodded. "Yeah, I'm hungry."

"There's soup in the kitchen. You barely ate anything last night, so you must be hungry by now! I'll go get it for you." Charles released her hand to head towards the kitchen, but Noelle quickly grabbed his hand, shaking her head. "No need, I'll get it myself. Weren't you working just now? Go back to your work!"

"It's fine," Charles said, touching Noelle's cheek softly. "This work isn't as important as you. I'll eat with you."

"You haven't eaten yet either?" Noelle exclaimed in surprise. "But it's already so late! Why didn't you eat first?"

She lightly scolded, "From now on, if I'm not up, you should eat on your own. Don't go hungry."

"Alright."
