章 258: NIKOLAI'S INQUIRY

Ceres retreated and told Belle to come out to deal with the aftermath of the event. She was unsure if she was just hallucinating or not, but she really thought that the man called her name earlier. 

"Are you alright?" Charlotte asked once again and Belle nodded her head with a faint blush on her face. 

She immediately put down her sandals and wore them again. "I almost fell because of a drunkard, but I felt someone pull me by the waist. I was just really shocked which was the reason why I acted that way. I'm really sorry," she said and turned to Nikolai to apologize as well. 

"Likewise. I'm sorry for touching you without your permission," Nikolai retorted without taking her eyes off her. "I just really thought that you might need my help."
