Christopher Robinson didn't want to help Henry Wood, but why?
Perhaps only he knew the answer.
After speaking, Christopher hugged Amelia Cobb's waist and prepared to get in the car.
Henry Wood stood silently behind them for a moment before suddenly speaking up, "President Robinson, please, I'm begging you."
Bang! Amelia's inner defenses suddenly collapsed.
She had never seen Henry like this before.
This side of Henry was a stranger to her - the man who had always been polite and well-mannered, who never quarreled with anyone, was now humiliating himself for a green gemstone.
For a moment, Amelia wanted to shake off Christopher's hand.
But Christopher seemed to anticipate her intention and held her even tighter.
Not allowing her to make the slightest move.
Christopher didn't respond to Henry's plea.
Until they got in the car, the man's hand still firmly on Amelia's waist.
"Can Mr. Robinson let go of my waist now?"
