Chapter 497: The Heartstrings Loosen

Charlotte Cooper, upon hearing this, moved her hand slightly and seemed a bit absent-minded during the police questioning. Cloud Russell constantly chimed in beside her, trying to speak positively, making sure not to look behind her due to Henry's mother's presence.

Their relationship had not improved overnight, but Charlotte found warmth in her heart because it was the first time she had seen Cloud Russell be so patient and speak so kindly for her sake.
