Wife 123

Chapter 123

Noelle smiled. When she saw that Charles was serving her food, she hurriedly took her bowl from

him and said, “Let me do it!”

Charles merely smiled as he said, “Let’s eat!”

Noelle enjoyed her meal thoroughly. After all, it had been some time since she could eat so freely.

However, she noticed that Charles did not have much to eat. It was evident that he was not the

biggest fan of spicy food, and she quietly took note of that.

As the two headed downstairs after finishing the meal, they bumped into another couple leaving the

cinema. It sounded like they were discussing the plot of the movie they had just watched. “You said

you’d watch the movie with me, but you ended up falling asleep!”

“It’s not my fault! Girls love watching miscommunication tropes, but do misunderstandings really

happen that frequently in real life?”

“But these movies are inspired by real life! Of course it’s an exaggerated version of real life! There’s

no way it would be identical to daily life. I don’t care. You promised to watch this with me!

“Pfft…”

Once there was enough distance between them, Noelle began laughing.

Charles was standing right beside Noelle, and he could not help but raise an eyebrow when he saw

the amused look on her face. “What are you laughing at?”

Noelle turned to him and shook her head slightly. “What the girl wanted was simple. All she wanted

was for her boyfriend to keep her company,” Then, she added, “Girls need to be cajoled. It doesn’t

really matter if he watches the movie or not, as long as he’s not too flippant about it.”

“Oh?” A glint appeared in Charles‘ eyes as he glanced at his watch. “It’s still early. Let’s go watch a

movie!”

“Huh?” Noelle asked, startled. “Watch a movie?” Hadn’t they been talking about another couple?

How did the topic end up on themselves again?

Watching a movie with Charles Hoffman?

Noelle could not imagine that happening. “You want to watch a movie with me?”

“Yes. Is something wrong with that?” Charles asked as he called Ronald on the phone. “Buy me two

tickets to a movie. Yes, at Avenue Mall. What movie?” Charles frowned slightly as he took Noelle’s

hand and pulled her forward. He swept his gaze across the posters of newly released movies

around the shopping mall’s fifth floor as he said, “Hmm, buy me tickets to Loving You“!”

“Loving You“?” Ronald was stunned. “Mr. Hoffman, are you sure?”

“Do you have an opinion you want to share?” Charles asked. Ronald immediately shook his head

and said, “No, Mr. Hoffman. I’ll buy you the tickets right away. Do you want to watch the movie

now?”

“Yes, get me tickets to the next screening available!” Charles said before hanging up the phone.

When he saw Noelle giving him a confused look, he asked her bemusedly, you looking at me like

that?”

want to

Noelle returned to her senses and shook her head. “It’s nothing. But are you sure you watch a

movie with me?” She asked hesitantly. After all, this was a difficult scenario to imagine herself in,

and it became even more difficult to imagine after hearing what movie Charles had decided upon.

“Are we really watching ‘Loving You?”

“Is something wrong with that?” Charles asked, the corner of his lip curving upward. “I thought girls

liked movies like this?”

Noelle was silent. She pursed her lips slightly as she said, “You didn’t have to specially choose

something I’d like. Besides, I didn’t even say I wanted to watch a movie.”

“But you aren’t against it, are you?” Charles asked as he glanced at his phone. He had just received

the verification code for the tickets from Ronald. Charles‘ eyebrows knitted together slightly as he

said, “Didn’t you say girls crave companionship? That couple were boyfriend and girlfriend, while

we’re husband and wife. Don’t you think that makes companionship even more necessary?”

Charles reached out to take Noelle’s hand. Stunned, Noelle felt the urge to pull her hand away, but

she resisted.
