The Cherished Wife

Wife 128

Noelle pouted. “Well, I thought successful people like you, especially business owners, are of the same caliber as celebrities.”

She

often heard rumors related to the business sphere from entertainment industry–related news and thus assumed that Charles was the same as them.

However, Charles merely chuckled. “That applies to the others but not to me.” Then, he added, “No one really dares publish anything about me, and not that many people know what I look like.”

He smiled. “You don’t have to worry about your husband being seduced by women with ulterior motives, Nelly.”

Noelle did not know what to say to that. He seemed to have the ability to twist the truth into something that fit his narrative instead.

“Well, that won’t work either. Didn’t you promise that we wouldn’t let anyone else know about our relationship yet? They’d figure things out if they saw us together, right?”

“Why do you keep thinking about such things?” Charles asked, a rueful look on his face. “Why is it so tiring when all I want to do is go shopping and watch a movie with my wife?”

“Don’t think I have no idea that this shopping mall belongs to Collosus Group!” Noelle said as she pursed her lips.

She had no idea before this, but just now, she abruptly remembered overhearing someone say that the shopping malls belonging to Collosus Group could be found all across Brookville and that they

had basically monopolized the market.

Thus, no matter which local or international brands wanted to enter the Brookville market, they had to first speak to Collosus Group.

Back when Frotconn was first established, they had wanted to join one of the shopping malls under Collosus Group’s name as well. Noelle remembered that Collosus Group had agreed to nearly all of the conditions.

“I used to work at Frotconn, so I’ve got a basic understanding of this stuff.”

“Oh?” Charles narrowed his eyes, the smiling look in his eyes growing even more evident. Does that mean we can’t continue shopping?”

Noelle nodded solemnly. “It’s getting late.”

“Don’t worry. Even if these shopping malls belong to me, the management wouldn’t be able to recognize me,” Charles said, the corner of his lips curving upward/“Do you think I’m that easy to catch a glimpse of?”

Noelle opened her mouth, but Charles dragged her ahead before she could say anything. Since we’re going to start over by being an ordinary couple, going shopping and watching at movie together is the first thing we should do. It’s time to accompany you while you shop!”

Charles made that decision by himself and did not even give Noelle the chance to retaliate.

Noelle walked behind Charles somewhat passively, allowing him to drag her along. However, Charles was not walking particularly fast. He seemed to be making sure Noelle could keep up as well.

She was wearing heels, and though they were not very high heels, her feet would still be tired after a whole day of wearing them. It would not be particularly comfortable to walk in them. Noelle’s feet had already started hurting earlier, but as a woman, this was the pain she had to endure to look good. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Noelle allowed Charles, whose hands were clasped together behind his back, to lead her along. She was nearly a half–step behind him and had to look up at the back of his head.

He was extremely tall, to the point where she had to crane her neck to look at him even though she was wearing heels.

Charles seemed to sense Noelle looking at him and paused slightly to turn to her. “Are you tired?”
