Chapter 645: I Can't Bear to Let Go.

For spending so much time with Justin Battleson, Charlotte Thompson wasn't as surprised as she used to be at his sudden burst of action. She sighed softly as she accepted the menu from the waiter, casually ordering a few dishes before returning it.

Watching her turn, her soft profile tugged at the depths of Justin's heart, a pang of heartache rising from nowhere.

Despite being just a young girl, she had managed to endure many things that she should not have been able to handle.

This restaurant was very efficient, it didn't take long for all the dishes to be served. Charlotte lowered her head, scooped a mouthful of white rice into her mouth, and then saw Justin placing a spare rib into her bowl. Her brows rose slightly, and a faint smile graced her lips.

"Thank you."

Justin laughed in response, though his eyes betrayed the fact he was distracted.

Seeing her finally relaxing in his presence, he found it hard to broach the topic.
