บท 28: Hurt Ankle

Justin gently placed Natalie on the sofa and knelt before her on one knee, reaching out to check her ankles. However, she quickly retracted her foot.

From a short distance away, Justin observed her, noticing how differently she was dressed today. Unlike her usual professional and plain attire, she wore a white, long-sleeved lace top paired with an olive green knee-length skirt. Her hair was left loose, and she wore heels, giving her a more lively and vibrant appearance than usual.
