Chapter 136: Will you be my girlfriend?

Having finished his melody, Henry Hudson hands over his violin to a nearby waiter, approaching Charlotte Thompson with measured steps.

He stops in front of Charlotte, and at the opportune moment, the waiter presents him with a bouquet of fiery red roses.

The intoxicating scent of roses sweeps over them, captivating and heady.

"Charlotte, ever since we met, you have held a place in my heart. In the past, we experienced such helplessness. Yet now you have regained your freedom. I hope you'll give me a chance to protect you."

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

As Charlotte looks into the eyes of Henry, seeing his earnest expression, she doesn't know what to do with her hands.

All she could do is dodge his gaze, lower her head, and lightly purse her lips, not knowing how to respond.

This confession came so suddenly, and she was completely taken aback.

All along, she only thought of Henry as a senior, as a friend—she respected him, admired him, and was grateful to him.
