Charlotte lost the will to struggle herself free. She snuggled in his embrace.
The cold made her circled her arms around his waist as she buried her face in his chest. She closed her eyes and let him bring her wherever they were headed.
Their intimate demeanor resembled an adorable couple and would warm the hearts of any onlooker.
A pair of mother-daughter duo entered the elevator. The little girl looked about four or five. Innocently, she pointed at Charlotte and asked her mother in a low voice, “Mommy, why is that woman sleeping while standing?”
“She’s too tired, sweetie.” The mother crouched down and told her daughter, “Let’s be quiet so that we don’t disturb her.”
“I thought only kids could fall asleep while being hugged. So big sisters could do it too,” the little girl commented naively.
The mother could not help but chuckle at her daughter’s innocent remarks. She cast an envious look at the cute couple and smiled. “That big brother protects her like she’s a little kid. That’s why.”
Charlotte subconsciously lifted her head and met Zachary’s gaze. She noticed the loving look in his eyes.
Moved by his affectionate look, she tiptoed and gave him a kiss on the lips.
His body stiffened for a moment as he looked at her with a blank expression. Then, his lips slowly curled into an enticing smile.
This is the first time she’s hugging and kissing me in the public.
And she’s not doing it because she’s forced to. It’s because she can’t hold it in…
That was the reason he was smitten with the woman.
Ding! The elevator’s door sprung open, and the mother-daughter duo left.
Zachary pressed her head against his chest and carried her out of the elevator.
“Let me down. People are watching!” Charlotte was hot from embarrassment.
“I carried you upstairs like this too yesterday, and I recalled that there was no objection.”
