The Cherished Wife by Chweety

Dinner was prepared by Charles that night. Since Noelle had been very busy lately, especially after starting to learn under Brian, she found herself constantly short on time.

In contrast, Charles seemed much more relaxed, almost as if he had all the time in the world. It would make anyone who did not know better think he was just idling his days away.

Noelle worked for over an hour before glancing at the time and finally heading downstairs. Charles had just emerged from the kitchen when he saw her massaging her neck as she descended the stairs. He waved her over and said, "Come on, wash your hands and let's eat!"

"It smells so good!" Noelle exclaimed as she caught a whiff of the food.

As she got closer and saw the spread, she remarked, "This is a lot! Can the two of us even finish all this?" There was clearly enough food for several people.

However, Charles simply glanced at her and said, "You've gotten too thin, especially with how busy you've been lately."

Noelle pouted. "It's all because of the project. Mr. Parker said this might be the norm for the next few months, so all the household chores are going to be your responsibility."

Seeing her giggle, Charles reached out to touch her forehead before taking her hand and leading her into the dining room. "Let's eat quickly. I need to use the study later. Are you done using it?"
