The Cherished Wife

"Oh, I'm not the best with these things. I guess you'll be responsible for tying my ties from now on!" Charles said.

Noelle paused. Was there a hint of joy in his voice?

The thought of tying his tie every day made her feel warm inside, so she did not object. "But I'll need a little something for my trouble!"

"How about I make you breakfast every morning to make up for it?" Charles suggested with a light laugh, enjoying their playful banter. He pulled her close and planted a kiss on the corner of her mouth. "See you tonight!"

"See you tonight!" Noelle almost added something more, but she then thought better of it. She decided to keep quiet and save the surprise for Charles when she saw him later that evening.

They walked downstairs together, where Ronald was already outside waiting for them. When he saw Charles and Noelle, he quickly stood up straight and greeted them, "Good morning, Mr. Hoffman, Madam."

Charles nodded and handed Ronald some papers they had signed. "Please take care of these quickly."

Ronald looked at the papers, a bit surprised, but he nodded right away. "Will do, sir! Oh, Mr. Hoffman, the hospital called this morning. Sir Shaw has woken up, and the Shaw family is already with him."

Ronald glanced at Noelle, who nodded in response. "I know. I'll head over there soon!" Noelle knew what Ronald was worried about, but she could not keep avoiding things. It was time to face her problems and get them sorted out once and for all.

"Mr. Hoffman, do you need to go with...?"

"No, I'll go alone," Noelle interrupted, shaking her head. "Charles, you have your own work to get to, right?"This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Charles gave her a small smile. "Alright. Just be careful. Call me if you need anything, or you can ask Ronald for help."

"I will," Noelle said with a resigned smile. "I'm not a little kid, you know."

Charles watched Noelle's car disappear down the street, and his face went back to being serious and composed. "Someone needs to keep an eye on her. Send Andrew."

"Andrew?" Ronald blinked in surprise. Charles just gave him a look. "Do you have a problem with that?"

Ronald shook his head hurriedly.

How could he possibly have any objections? He just felt that Charles' concern for Noelle seemed to

exceed his own expectations. He knew better than to argue. After all, Andrew was Charles's go-to guy for tough jobs, and if Charles wanted him on this, it must be important.

"Mr. Hoffman, got a call from Winter's agent," Ronald reported. "She's in for the role! However, getting her to sign might be tricky She's still tied up with her current company, and if she makes a

comeback, they won't want to let her go."

"Then we'll just have to make sure she stumbles before she gets that chance Charles said with a chift in his voice. "Make her fall hard. Without help, she won't get back up. You got that?"
