The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 684

"Silly girl!" Charles took the opportunity to kiss Noelle on her forehead, then her nose, and finally, her lips. Feeling relaxed, Noelle started to respond to his movements, following his lead.

It seemed that ever since she got together with Charles, she had become more and more unreserved.

Seeing Noelle's response, Charles deepened the kiss and eventually carried her upstairs.

While things were heating up between them, a completely different atmosphere was unfolding elsewhere.

…

Janet had been furious with Winter since that night. Afterward, she launched a thorough investigation into Winter and found out that she was an actress under Royal Star.

Although married, Winter's reputation was not great. Therefore, Janet was inclined to believe the rumors about Winter and Charles, which only fueled her inability to tolerate the situation.

Although Janet's primary target became Winter, she did not let her guard down against Noelle. Even though Noelle had only danced with Charles once, Janet still harbored resentment over it.

In her mind, if it were not for Noelle, she would have been the one who danced with Charles that night.

During her investigation, Janet also discovered that Noelle and Winter were actually sisters, though their relationship appeared to be extremely hostile.

Clarisse had seen Janet's investigation results. While she did not fully agree with Janet's methods, the growing distance between her and her son made her turn a blind eye to Janet's actions.

Janet stared at a photo of Winter shaking hands with Charles and crumpled the newspaper in anger.
