After calming down for a while, thinking about what just happened, Henry Russell still couldn't help but take it to heart.
"I'm sorry..." Henry suddenly began apologizing.
His unexpected apology made Charlotte Cooper freeze.
Charlotte laughed softly and jokingly teased, "Why are you apologizing to me? Don't tell me you're seeing another woman behind my back?"
Even though she was joking, Henry took it seriously.
"I, Henry Russell, swear to heaven that I only like you!" Henry raised his hands to swear solemnly.
His serious expression made Charlotte find him exceptionally charming and handsome.
Henry's voice was choked with emotion, "Just now, it was because I didn't protect you well, and that's why you were bullied."
So, Henry was apologizing for the earlier incident.
Charlotte finally understood and said with a smile, "It's not your fault. Why are you apologizing to me?"
