Chapter 697: Escape from the Secret Room

In the living room.

Charlotte Thompson felt Justin Battleson's breath near her ear, carrying a warm hint with it as the faint wind licked her earlobe.

At first, his breathing was noticeably heavy. She could feel her chest rising and falling with Justin due to their close proximity.

She felt a trace of moistness on her shoulder.

Knowing she had touched his deepest memory, she held him tighter around his solid back.

After a while, Justin's breathing returned to normal, and he took a step back voluntarily.

Then he was greeted by her delicate and soft hands, with slender knuckles, gently holding his cheeks.

Justin was enjoying the warmth she was bringing to him, and lifted his hands on top of hers.

He was looking straight into her eyes. Her gaze was filled with care for him and the movement as lively as splashing water making him reluctant to look away.

"I'm sorry."
