CHAPTER 1604: CHAPTER 1604: HE APPEARS ON THE BALCONY

Suddenly, unwillingness and grievance surged up in Charlotte’s heart, causing her to curl up her body, hugging her knees.

Ever since she left the hotel and returned to the Thompson Family, for such a long time, Justin Battleson really hadn’t contacted her.

Charlotte always felt that she was never someone who liked to overthink.

But now, her mind was filled with chaos. The more she didn’t know about something, the more curious Charlotte became to speculate.

Charlotte then sighed, the dry feeling in her throat made her stand up from the bed, and just as she was about to pour herself a glass of water, a slight noise came from outside the window, freezing Charlotte’s steps.

The curtains blocked her view, making it hard for Charlotte to see what was happening outside, so she instinctively assumed it was just the leaves rustling in the evening breeze.

Just as Charlotte decided not to care, she heard her name being softly called from outside.

"Charlotte."

At this moment, someone gently knocked on the glass, and an astonishing thought emerged in Charlotte’s mind. She quickly walked to the window.

When she pulled open the curtains, she found that Justin Battleson was standing on the balcony.

Charlotte’s mouth hung open, and she couldn’t speak for a while. Perhaps due to the shock, her mind temporarily went blank.

By the time she came to her senses, her body had already moved involuntarily to open the balcony’s glass door, letting Justin into the room.

"Why are you..."

Before Charlotte could finish her sentence, she fell directly into Justin’s embrace.

The night breeze that poured in was cold, but Justin’s chest was extremely warm, and in the quiet room, the sound of someone’s heartbeat could be heard.

Charlotte’s jaw rested on Justin’s shoulder. The slight tilt of her head brought her eyes into direct contact with the sticky moonlight outside the window.

It was somewhat blinding, somewhat cold.

Charlotte never thought that one day she would meet Justin Battleson in such a manner.

Even though her room was on the second floor of the villa, Charlotte couldn’t imagine how Justin managed to climb up.

However, Charlotte’s momentary pause lasted only an instant. She quickly regained her composure and reached out to push Justin away, trying to distance herself from him, but Justin didn’t give Charlotte such a chance.

Justin directly wrapped an arm around Charlotte’s waist, pinched her jaw, and kissed her, sealing all of Charlotte’s words in her thin lips.

It was like a sudden downpour wrapping Charlotte’s body. Initially, she wished to resist, but a deep sense of loss inside her magnified the afternoon’s hidden tension.

Her hand pressed against Justin’s collar tightened continuously, and the warmth between their lips lingered, as if aiming to merge the other into her being.

The tightening arm around her waist pulled Charlotte’s consciousness back. Her pupils contracted suddenly, and she struggled to break free from Justin’s embrace.

Justin stood quietly with his back to the moonlight, his gaze falling straight on Charlotte’s face, his eyes showing a complex expression, leaving Charlotte unable to discern the emotions contained.

"You..."

"Charlotte..."

Justin and Charlotte spoke simultaneously, and the collision of their words made the momentarily active atmosphere fall silent again.

Perhaps Justin’s gaze was too intense, causing Charlotte to turn her eyes away, unable to withstand it.
