The Cherished Wife novel Chapter 687

Noelle widened her eyes as she watched Charles' actions. She had not expected him to actually drink it himself.

Before she could even feel happy about it, her eyes grew even rounder in disbelief as Charles tilted his head back and drank the tea. He then lifted her chin. The next second, his warm lips quickly pressed against hers.

In that instant, Noelle's taste buds seemed to explode with the combination of warmth and the pungent taste of the herbs. She tried to push him away, but Charles held her tightly, giving her no chance to resist.

Gradually, the warm tea was passed into Noelle's mouth. Her eyes were wide open, and she tried to keep her mouth shut, but Charles did not give her any opportunity.

By the time he finally released her, half the cup of tea had made its way into her stomach.

Charles let go of Noelle's hand and smirked, especially when he saw the furious expression on her face. He could not help but shake his head and use his fingers to wipe the liquid off the corner of her mouth.

Noelle pulled away from his hand, clearly upset. She was pouting as she complained, "You're terrible! You're not allowed in the bedroom tonight!"

Charles shook his head helplessly. "Come on, you're an adult. If you're sick, you need to be sensible. You were even walking around barefoot just now. Don't you know how cold it is in winter?"

He sounded slightly stern. "Tell me, do you do this often when I'm not around?"

"I…" Noelle had not expected Charles to turn the tables on her, and she instantly lost her temper.

She walked over, grabbed his hand, and shook it back and forth, acting coy. "Alright, it's my fault. Please don't scold me anymore. I promise I won't do it again. I just woke up and wanted some fresh air!"

"Hmm?" Charles raised an eyebrow, amused by her playful attitude. He reached out and lightly pinched her nose. "Alright. You're probably hungry now. I've made dinner. Let's go eat."

He called Noelle. "Someone's tailing you."

"Yes, I noticed," she replied. "What about you?"

"No one's following me," Charles replied and paused for a moment. "I'm afraid you'll have to endure this for a while."

Noelle did not seem too bothered by it. She simply said, "It's fine. If I have to bear it for a bit, I will. Once this matter is resolved, we can finally be at ease. It would be great if we could wrap this up before New Year's. Otherwise, the holiday might be ruined."

"Yes, I'll resolve it as soon as possible," Charles assured her, knowing that her concerns were precisely what he had in mind as well.
