The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Chapter 176



Noelle felt like she was floating mid-air in a dream-like world. In her dreams, a man held her hand as they took a walk together. When they grew tired, they lay on the grass to take a break. As she closed her eyes, the man leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss onto her lips.

Noelle smiled. Things felt so sweet in the dream that she could not help but want more. She reached her arms over and wrapped them around Charles' neck just as he was about to let go of her, burrowing herself onto Charles.

The look in Charles' eyes darkened. He used one arm to stabilize himself on the bed and lowered his gaze to look at Noelle, who seemed extremely happy. The corners of her lips curved upward as she tugged at him and called out, "Charles!"

Although her voice was soft, he heard her.

A glimmer appeared in his eyes as he lowered himself and kissed Noelle again. This time, though, the kiss was not a gentle one.
