Chapter 198: She is Charlotte Thompson, not Sophie Allen.

When leaving the Riley Group building, the rain had finally stopped, leaving a faint smell of rainwater in the air.

This strange scent is reminiscent of the earthy smell from the country lanes of my childhood, seeping into the heart after a rain shower.

I thought I would never be able to smell this comforting scent again. Today somehow feels like a dream come true.

Justin Battleson insisted on taking Charlotte Thompson home, Charlotte objected repeatedly, but eventually had to compromise.

She watched as Justin opened the car door in a gentlemanly and elegant manner, gesturing for her to get in.

Hesitant, Charlotte was left with no choice but to go in.

The car was warm, with dim yellow lights turned on.

Justin got in the car and shut the door with a "thud", creating an atmosphere of unspoken intimacy.

Perhaps due to the warmth, Charlotte's face started heating up rapidly, and her heartbeat accelerated without her realizing it.
