The Cherished Wife

Noelle widened her eyes as she watched Charles' actions. She had not expected him to actually drink it himself.

Before she could even feel happy about it, her eyes grew even rounder in disbelief as Charles tilted his head back and drank the tea. He then lifted her chin. The next second, his warm lips quickly pressed against hers. In that instant, Noelle's taste buds seemed to explode with the combination of warmth and the pungent taste of the herbs. She tried to push him away, but Charles held her tightly, giving her no chance to resist. Gradually, the warm tea was passed into Noelle's mouth. Her eyes were wide open, and she tried to keep her mouth shut, but Charles did not give her any opportunity.

By the time he finally released her, half the cup of tea had made its way into her stomach.

Charles let go of Noelle's hand and smirked, especially when he saw the furious expression on her face. He could not help but shake his head and use his fingers to wipe the liquid off the corner of her mouth. Noelle pulled away from his hand, clearly upset. She was pouting as she complained, "You're terrible! You're not allowed in the bedroom tonight!"

Charles shook his head helplessly. "Come on, you're an adult. If you're sick, you need to be sensible. You were even walking around barefoot just now. Don't you know how cold it is in winter?"

He sounded slightly stern. "Tell me, do you do this often when I'm not around?"
