Chapter 54

Charles had just seen Ronald and the others out. Coming back, he caught Noelle’s incredulous question and chuckled. “Yep, we’re married now.”

Noelle’s hands flew to her cheeks, surprised to find Charles right behind her. Flustered, she got to her feet quickly. “It’s late. I should head back.”

“Noelle!” Charles’s voice stopped her in her tracks, and she halted, her steps halting just as quickly. She turned around stiffly, a puzzled “Huh?” escaping her lips.

Ever since meeting Charles, Noelle felt like her life had become a series of increasingly embarrassing moments. Every encounter with him seemed to leave her more flustered than the last.

Charles watched her, the teasing mood fading. He stepped closer and gently pushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “You want to head back?”

She nodded earnestly. “Yeah, I really should go.”
