The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 578

"If you keep this up, I'll really get mad—mmph!" Noelle's protest was completely silenced as Charles covered her lips with his own. His agile tongue traced the edges of her lips, not in a weak way but with a touch of sweetness.

Charles indeed had a way of making her lose control; even just a kiss sped up Noelle's heartbeat, making her feel as if her body was no longer hers. "Charlie, I..."

"Shh. Let me take care of you this time."

That turned into two hours of activity, leaving Noelle utterly exhausted and nearly rolling her eyes in disbelief.

She silently cursed Charles for being such a brute, not sparing her even a little. While Noelle lay there, worn out, Charles looked completely satisfied, like someone who had just feasted well.

Seeing Noelle so drained, he felt a pang of tenderness and brushed the damp hair from her forehead behind her ear, then leaned down to kiss the corner of her lips. "Want a bath?"

"No, I'm too tired!" Noelle mumbled, unable to even open her eyes. "Don't bother me anymore!"

"Alright, get some sleep then." Charles finally stopped bothering her, realizing she was genuinely exhausted and that he might have gone a bit overboard earlier. He fetched a basin and gently wiped Noelle clean, then gave her another kiss. "Sleep, we'll bathe in the morning."

Noelle acted a bit stubbornly. She refused to approach and just stood at the foot of the stairs. "You're not allowed in the bedroom tonight!"

Charles raised an eyebrow at her words, his lips curling into a smile with a hint of lingering amusement in his eyes. "Oh? And what does Mrs. Hoffman mean by that?"

"No hidden meaning. You're just not allowed in the bedroom." If he kept this up, Noelle felt she really would not be able to handle it anymore.

Charles arched his brow thoughtfully and teased, "Oh, so the bedroom isn't interesting enough? Does that mean Mrs. Hoffman prefers the study, the kitchen, the living room, or perhaps the balcony?"
