The Cherished Wife novel Chapter 561

Whoosh!

Noelle felt like a wave had hit her.

She would bet her bottom dollar that if she were not Charles's wife, she would find his words way over the top.

Charles gave Noelle a look like she had lost her marbles. "What's that supposed to mean? You think it's funny?"

Noelle quickly shook her head. "No way, I'm just giving you the stink eye for all the single folks out there." She could not help but crack up. "Charles, seriously, if any single person heard you, they'd be lining up to take you down!"

"That's not gonna happen!" Charles replied, all serious.

"Oh, it would. You're practically begging for it with that attitude. You'd get smacked for sure."

"Nope, it won't happen." Charles insisted. Noelle quirked an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips as she watched him. "And why's that?"

"Because I'm a looker!" Charles declared with pride. "Plus, they couldn't take me in a fight!"

Noelle just stared at him, speechless.

"What, cat got your tongue?" Charles's fingers danced lightly on the steering wheel as he glanced at Noelle's silence. "You mad?"

Noelle fought the urge to lash out by rubbing her temples, but Charles's offer made her hold back.

Holding the phone limply, she glanced at Charles's innocent-looking face and let out a weary sigh. "This isn't about the phone. And sure, Rowena and Teresa are my besties, but some jokes are off-limits."

Charles flashed a cheeky grin and gently stroked Noelle's cheek. "Come on, I was just messing with you. I promise no more pranks, okay? Don't be mad, alright?" Seizing the moment while the traffic light was red, he playfully tilted Noelle's chin. "You know, you're not as cute when you're mad!"

Noelle chuckled. "I'm not mad!" She flashed a teasing smile, her lips curving playfully. "You know what? I'll add some friends for you—Mr. Smith and Peter, they..."

Charles pondered for a moment. "I doubt they're even on there! I hardly have time for that stuff. No need to add people I won't talk to. Just having you is plenty!"
