Chapter 727: Expelling Emily Davis

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Cooper was reminded of some unpleasant memories, causing her already rosy cheeks to turn even redder. She composed herself, trying to maintain her calmness. Smiling at Henry Russell, she joked, "Are you driving? You're going too fast. Hit the brakes."

Henry Russell didn't respond right away. Just when Charlotte was almost convinced that he was not going to reply, he leaned forward, pinning her under his body.

Charlotte was taken aback. The position left her looking directly into Henry's deep, enigmatic eyes, which bore at her with an array of mixed emotions: softness only she could induce, regret as if remembering something, and some other feelings she couldn't quite decipher.

She tried to wiggle free from Henry's hold, but her hand was firmly restrained by his. Now, she felt utterly immobile, forced to gaze at Henry's handsome face.
