Chapter 146

Noelle stared at Charles and then turned to look behind them.

The other cars were already far behind Charles‘. “How did you do that?”

Before she could finish her sentence, Charles‘ eyes grew sharp. “Hold on tight.” As he spoke, he

floored the accelerator, speeding through the rough terrain.

“Fuck!” The red–haired man, who had been in first place, saw Charles accelerating on the most

dangerous

saw Charle part of the road. “Is he crazy?”

Usually, they would slow down on this stretch, but Charles had sped up instead.

Noelle gripped the handle tightly, her entire body grew tense. Her heart was seemingly pounding in

her throat. However, she had no choice but to trust Charles completely.

To Noelle’s surprise, the car came to a sudden stop. She turned to Charles in bewilderment. “What

happened?”

Charles smiled lightly, shutting off the engine and rolling up the windows. He pulled Noelle into his

arms. Were you scared?”

Noelle swallowed hard, feeling as if she had been reborn. She wrapped her arms around Charles‘

waist with her body still trembling slightly. She stubbornly said, “No, I wasn’t scared!”

Charles chuckled as he held her close. He ran his long fingers through her hair, gently patting her

back. Alright, you weren’t scared.”

Noelle took a deep breath, clinging tightly to Charles. The subtle scent of lime mixed with a hint of

tobacco from him was unexpectedly pleasant.

Noelle’s nerves gradually settled. She pulled away from Charles slightly. However, in the next

moment, she tilted her head up and kissed the corner of his lips.

It was a brief kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water. Nonetheless, it made Charles raise an

eyebrow in surprise. The next moment, he wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her lips.

He had kissed her before, but that was when Noelle was unconscious. This time, she was fully

aware.

Seeing Noelle hesitate, Charles firmly held the back of her head, deepening the kiss.

Noelle’s kiss was clumsy and inexperienced, but under Charles‘ guidance, she gradually relaxed.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, responding to him,

Her face flushed with eyes half–closed in a seductive daze. Cars zoomed past them, but they

kissed passionately inside the car.

Finally, Charles pulled back, resting his forehead against hers. They both panted lightly, and

Charles gently squeezed her fingers. His rough fingertips brushed against her smooth skin, causing

a slight shiver.

As she was catching her breath, Noelle suddenly realized what she had done. “I…”

-Charles pulled her into his embrace, chuckling softly. “Feeling shy now? Isn’t it a bit late for that?”

Noelle’s face turned red as she pushed him away, only to see his smug expression. “What? I was

just going to remind you that we’re losing!”

Charles raised an eyebrow. “Do you care about winning?”

Noelle shook her head. “No!” She had not planned to race seriously in the first place.

Besides, after witnessing Charles‘ driving skills, he was already a winner in her eyes.
