The Cherished Wife



Noelle nodded heavily. "It seems something happened between her and Winter. Her attitude towards Winter has changed."

"Of course, it has. You didn't see what happened last time. After you passed out and Charles took you away, he found out it was Annie and her friends.

"He had her taken away, and Winter didn't say a word the whole time. She just turned away and pretended not to know Annie, watching as she was taken away. But speaking of Annie's face..." Rowena said, exchanging a glance with Teresa.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Teresa fell silent for a moment. The eerie quiet between the two made Noelle suspicious. "You're saying that after I passed out, Annie was taken away? And that night... Whatever happened to Annie's face was because of Charles?"

Rowena looked up, pretending to be busy. "Wow! The mall is really crowded today, Isn't it, Teresa?"

"Yes, yes. It's the weekend, so it's bound to be crowded," Teresa quickly agreed. "So, should we keep shopping?"

Noelle sighed. Seeing their blatant attempt to change the subject, she decided to drop it.

In the evening, Noelle told Charles about running into Annie. Charles was holding Noelle in his arms, his passionate kisses trailing along her shoulder and neck.

Noelle felt ticklish and pushed against Charles' shoulder. "Stop messing around. I'm trying to tell you something important!"

"I'm doing something important too," Charles retorted.

He shifted positions, pulling Noelle onto his lap. One hand held her stim waist while the other gently stroked her cheek as he gazed into her eyes. "How can you be thinking about someone else right now?"

Noelle's nerves tightened, and her face flushed. She clenched her hand into a fist and hit Charles' shoulder. "What are you doing? You're shameless!" "What's shame?" Charles cupped Noelle's face and kissed her deeply. "When I'm with you, such things don't matter."

She did not realize how effortlessly he could speak romantic words.

As Charles continued to seduce her, Noelle's hands clung to his shoulders, but she insisted, "Don't change the subject. Tell me, did you have someone scar Annie's face? Even though she locked me up, beauty is so important to a woman. You-ah! Why did you bite me?"

Noelle yelped and clutched her neck, glaring at the culprit.

Charles was unsatisfied, and he licked Noelle's hand. She shivered, and he took the opportunity to lick her neek. Noelle almost lost her balance and fell off Charles' tap, but he caught her just in time.

In the end, all their conversation topics were drowned in Charles' kisses. He relentlessly pursued her, leaving Noelle no time to think until they both surrendered to their passions.
