This was clearly the person she was the most afraid of, but somehow, Melinda felt comforted by his words.
Blushing, Melinda didn't have time to consider anything else before she felt someone blowing a gust of warm air at her earlobes. She instinctively wanted to duck, but Carter was already holding her face securely in his hands. With a gentle pull, her face was pressed against his chest. His heart raced wildly. He didn't know if it was because he was worried that he would miss and hurt her or because this was a rare opportunity when she was willing to let him be so close to her. He only knew her face was red and his body had reacted faster than his brain.
He wanted to hold her. He truly just wanted to hold her.
Melinda didn't struggle and didn't resist. It was as she had fallen in a trance, letting Carter hold her for a long while.
Fei Rui was displeased and wanted to separate them, but was held back by Gu Mengmeng.
