NovelEnglishChapter 233 Chapter 233 Noelle shifted closer to him. Her smooth, slender arm brushed against his. Charles then turned his head, his deep eyes falling on her face.
Noelle froze for a moment. She stared back at him before leaning her head on his shoulder, clutching his arm with both hands.
Charles kissed her forehead and said, "Go to sleep." Noelle closed her eyes. She was still holding onto him, and soon, her steady breathing signaled she was asleep. Charles opened his eyes and looked at her peaceful face. There was a smile playing on his lips.

Noelle woke in the middle of the night and noticed the emptiness beside her. She immediately opened her eyes and fumbled to turn on the lamp, only to find Charles was not there.
Feeling a wave of disappointment, she touched the spot where he had been. It was no longer warm. Biting her lip, she clutched the blanket tightly.
After a while, Noelle made up her mind. She got out of bed and walked to the guest room. She knocked on the door, but there was no response.
She pushed open the door while biting her lip, only to find that the room was empty.
Feeling even more dejected, she turned to go back to her room but froze when she saw Charles standing less than a meter away. He was wearing light gray pajamas and holding a glass of water, his brows furrowed together. "Why are you up?" Charles' gaze shifted from Noelle's face to her feet. Seeing she was barefoot, his expression darkened. " Why didn't you put on slippers?" Noelle finally recovered from the shock. She looked down at her bare feet and felt a little aggrieved. "I thought you left. When I woke up and you weren't there, I thought..." Sighing, he offered her his slippers. "Put these on." Noelle obediently put on the slippers. "W-Where did you go?" she asked cautiously. "It's already so late." "I was in the study. I had swork to finish," Charles replied, handing her the glass of water before lifting her into his arms. "Don't worry. Where would I go in the middle of the night? Go back to sleep." "And you?" Noelle looked up at Charles. "It's so late. Can't the work wait until tomorrow?" She had genuinely feared Charles had disappeared, and the thought brought back the painful memories of being betrayed by Xavier and Winter.
She thought Xavier was hers but, in fact, he was not.
She had always thought of herself as strong because she did not rely on anyone. Now that she believed she had found someone she could rely on, she was terrified of losing this newfound security.
