Charles shook his head. "It's yours, but it's not a trade for shares with you."Noelle bit her lip, a little lost. "What is it, then?""Remember that at dinner, I mentioned I had something for you?"

She tried to speak, but the words just would not come out.Charles saw Noelle looking troubled and pulled her into a hug, gently ruffling her hair. "Silly girl. We've been married for quite a while, and I've never given you a proper wedding gift. These shares, twenty percent of them, are for you.""But this... it's too much," she said, shaking her head. "You really don't have to give me anything. I won't even use it!""Nothing is too much when it comes to you!" Charles replied, shaking his head. "Your grandpa was right. Money might be something we have outside of ourselves, but we still need it. I can't let you be unhappy because you mar

Her kiss was gentle and careful, like she was kissing the most precious treasure in the world. She might not have been in love with Charles yet, but she definitely liked him. She was ready to give her whole heart to him, hoping he would embrace every bit of her.Charles had been patient for so long, but he had reached his breaking point now.

Noelle was in a hurry to see him, but Charles gently pulled her back. "Hold on!"Confused, Noelle asked, "What is it?""Let's go upstairs first," Charles said, putting away the dishes. He led Noelle to his study and handed her the contract from the day before. "This is yours. Go ahead and sign it."Noelle hesitated. "Didn't I say I'd swap shares with you once mine were sorted?""Do you think you'll run into your parents on the way to see your grandpa?" Charles asked, getting right to the heart of the matter. Noelle's face tensed up a bit. She nodded, her smile tinged with a touch of sadness. "I suddenly feel like I'm not doing so great at this whole ‘life’ thing."Charles gave her a reassuring grin.

"Oh, I'm not the best with these things. I guess you'll be responsible for tying my ties from now on!" Charles said.Noelle paused. Was there a hint of joy in his voice?The thought of tying his tie every day made her feel warm inside, so she did not object. "But I'll need a little something for my trouble!""How about I make you breakfast every morning to make up for it?" Charles suggested with a light laugh, enjoying their playful banter.

"Charles, your body is here, but your heart is clearly somewhere else."Then, as if making an even bigger discovery, he gestured toward a spot not far away. "Oh, I say, Charles, this is a real crisis. See that?"With the enthusiasm of someone who thrived on drama, Sean pointed at Noelle and Grant. "I don't know, man. That guy doesn't look like he's here with good intentions."Charles raised an eyebrow, his gaze darkening as it settled on Noelle and Grant. He gripped his glass a little tighter, but his eyes refused to move away from them. Still, his words were dismissive. "He's just another big brother-in-law. That's all.""Yeah, right.
