The Cherished Wife

Chapter 204

Noelle had mentioned craving certain dishes, but she did not really intend to eat all those rich and heavy foods at once. They decided to shop for ingredients together at the supermarket. When they got back, Charles had some work to do, so Noelle volunteered to cook. Charles was happy with the arrangement and said just one or two dishes would be plenty.
