The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 740

"Silly girl." Charles squeezed Noelle's hand gently. "Don't worry. Even if your mom has such intentions, she won't succeed. The Smiths' status is too high to be swayed by just her words."

He paused, looking at Noelle. "Having Sean accompany you is far better than sending someone we can't control."

"You mean if Sean doesn't go, my mom will find someone else?" Noelle frowned slightly.

Seeing Charles' noncommittal expression, she suddenly felt a bit powerless. She had to admit that Charles was right. Given Jade's nature, she really would find someone else.

Charles reached out and gently smoothed Noelle's frown, tapping her forehead. "Alright, don't furrow your brows. This isn't something you can change."

He knew what troubled her and shook his head. "Having Sean go with you is the best choice right now, and your mom won't immediately push for Sean to marry you."

"That's true." Noelle sighed, still feeling that things would not be that simple.

If Jade was asking her to come back, she undoubtedly had something planned. It was just that Noelle did not know what Jade intended or why she was targeting her specifically, considering both she and Winter were her daughters.

"Alright, stop overthinking. It's late. Let's get some rest."

Noelle nodded, putting down the towel. She wrapped her arms around Charles' waist and nestled her head against his chest.

They were warm and soft. She chuckled softly, giving another little tug that brought Charles onto the bed with her.

Charles' gaze darkened, and he swiftly turned, wrapping his long arms around Noelle. He was trying to ensure he did not put his full weight on her.

They rolled together on the bed before Charles propped himself up, his eyes sparkling like stars.

"You..." He playfully pinched her nose before leaning down to kiss her soft lips.
