Chapter206
The night was deep, and the warm yellow indoor lights diffused a thin mist on the glass, blending with the cold tones of the street scene, as if coated with a layer of filter.
The two of them had dinner together, and Charlotte called the waiter over. to pay the bill.
After settling the bill, Reynald clasped his hands together and rested them on his chin, This time I didn’t deceive you, did I? I brought you back.”
Charlotte smiled satisfactorily, “Relieved.”
The two of them walked out of the restaurant, and Reynald very gentlemanly held the door open for her.
Charlotte also did not forget to say thank you.
He walked behind Charlotte, glanced at his phone and asked, “Where did you park your car?”
There were no parking spaces, so I parked at the downhill intersection ahead.”
“I accompanied you.”
Charlotte turned to look at him, about to say something, when suddenly a motorcycle came rushing out from not far away.
“Be careful,” Reynald reached out and pulled her, catching her off guard as she stumbled into his arms.
She could even feel the wind whistling past her as the motorcycle zoomed past her.
Extremely fast speed.
Charlotte was undecided, until a man’s voice came from above, “Are you okay? Scared?”
She suddenly came to her senses, broke away from his embrace, her face slightly pale, “I was indeed scared… luckily you helped me.”
Reynald glanced towards where the motorcycle had disappeared and said, “Young people these days, they don’t care about their lives.”
“Okay, I’m almost there too,” Charlotte adjusted her posture, slinging her bag over her shoulder and looking at him, “You don’t need to accompany me, I can go by myself.”
Reynald nodded, Then I will watch you leave, so I can be at ease.”
Charlotte walked up to the parked car, got in, glanced out the window, and then drove the car away.
Reynald watched as her car disappeared from view, then looked down at a message on her phone.
Charlotte pushed open the bedroom door, and Jaxson had just walked out of the bathroom.
He wrapped a bath towel around his waist and abdomen, revealing his broad upper body, which was still wet.
She had seen his figure before, and it could be said that every inch of muscle on his body had just the right sense of lines, a very moderate degree of muscularity, neither appearing exaggerated nor overly robust.
The two locked eyes, and Charlotte’s expression stiffened slightly as she asked, “You… at home?”
It completely took her by surprise.
“I wasn’t at home, where was I?” Jaxson ran his fingers through his short hair, pushing back the wet strands. His deep eyes, like the sea, had no harbor to anchor, only bottomless abyss.
A glance, all heart–stopping.
Charlotte unconsciously averted her gaze, “Then I’ll go to the guest room.”
“Where is the hairdryer.”
She retreated to the door, heard him ask a question, and replied, “On the shelf.”
“Which shelf.”
“You don’t know?” Charlotte asked in confusion. “Then how did you use it before?”
“Naturally air–dried.”
Charlotte realized that he had never used the hairdryer at home, which is why the position where she placed it after each use had never changed direction
