Chapter 451 That Night

Even though Aubrey hadn’t used that much strength, Henry decided to play along. Wincing in ‘pain,’ he pretended to be hurt while exclaiming, “L-let go! It hurts! For real!”

Understandably startled, she instinctively let go… But she wasn’t going to let him off that easily! Pretending like she didn’t care, she crossed her arms as she scoffed, “You deserve it.”

“…With how fierce you are, aren’t you worried that you’ll scare off other men who come across you…?”

“There you go, badmouthing me again! Really, with how much you bully me, it makes me wonder if you have a crush on me! If you do, then be honest! Then maybe, we’d actually have a shot at dating-”

Cr*p. She had accidentally said too much! Oh God, was he going to think that she was the kind of woman who casually confessed to other men now?! Sipping her coffee in embarrassment, all she could do was eagerly wait for Henry’s reply… If only she hadn’t been averting her gaze, she’d surely have seen how hopeful Henry’s eyes were!
