The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 737

Charles quickly went into the kitchen and started cooking. Noelle finished work right on time at 6:00 pm and got home around 6:40 pm.

As soon as she stepped inside, a delicious aroma filled the air. Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took off her shoes before entering the house. "Charlie?"

Leaning against the doorway, Noelle saw Charles wearing an apron. He was busy in the kitchen. There was a look of surprise in her eyes. "Why are you home so early today?"

In truth, Noelle wanted to ask him about the movie's press conference. How did he manage to come back this early?

While holding a ladle in one hand and wiping his other hand on the apron, Charles turned to look at her. "You're back? Go wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon."

Noelle sniffed the air. "You made stew? What kind?"

"Pork stew," Charles replied while gesturing. "Hurry, go wash up!"

"Okay!" Noelle laughed and went to wash her hands. However, she could not help glancing back at him, curiosity evident on her face.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Didn't you say you might be home late today? Aren't you supposed to be at the press conference?"

"Yes." Charles nodded and handed her a dry towel. As Noelle took it to dry her hands, she pressed on, "You still haven't answered me!"

"It's nothing much. I did go to the conference, but something unexpected happened, and it got canceled," Charles said casually, though Noelle sensed there was more to the story.

"Something unexpected? What kind of accident?"
