The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 767

Charles lifted his coffee mug in a toast. "Noelle's a bit clueless. She even planned a meet-up with you today."

"That's not true!" Noelle protested, though her voice was a whisper amidst Charles's commanding presence.

Charles gave her a sidelong glance, a look of mild reproof, and leaned in to whisper, "We'll talk about this when we get home." He then turned to Samuel with an easy smile. "Noelle's always had a knack for making coffee. Grandpa, is it the way you like it?"

"It's not bad at all. I’ve spoiled her too much since she was little. If she steps out of line, just let me know!"

Charles's lips quirked up in agreement. "Will do!"

Noelle bristled a bit. "What could I possibly do wrong?"

Charles narrowed his eyes playfully. "Fetch us a pot of herbal tea, will you?"

Noelle paused, sensing that Charles was trying to get her out of the room. Despite her irritation, she knew better than to try to keep secrets from Charles—he was too clever to be fooled.

With a slight nod, Noelle excused herself and stepped out of the room.
