Chapter 41 Salvation! Frederick's Gentleness
Charlotte walked out of the villa.
The rain was pouring harder, and the world was cloaked in mist. The dim streetlights made the wet ground shimmer.
Charlotte, wearing high heels, walked numbly through the cold rain. She walked for a long time until her high heels chafed her feet, and crimson blood trickled down her pale instep.
She was in pain, a lot of pain.
Tilting her head slightly, Charlotte let the cold rain hit her face.
Loving Ethan was her sin! Now, all she had left for him was hatred. She didn't want to spend her life atoning him; she'd rather perish with him.
Tears warmed the corners of Charlotte's eyes, but her tears seemed insignificant in the cold night. She slowly squatted down, letting the rain wash over her.
A black umbrella was held over her head, and a tall figure loomed over her.
Charlotte looked up. It was Frederick!
He was dressed in formal attire as if he had just come from some official event. He was mature and handsome. He gazed at her, the warmth in his eyes making Charlotte's heart flutter.
It was him again. It was Frederick again! Why did he always appear when she was at her lowest, offering her salvation?
"Ms. Russell, I've been looking for you all night." Frederick's low and husky voice was more enchanting than the sound of a cello.
Charlotte looked up, watching him extend his hand to her.
She remained motionless, her whole body stiff and unresponsive.
"Poor thing." Frederick sighed softly.
He bent down and picked her up. She was already soaked, wetting his clothes as well, but who would care?
Frederick's body was warm, and Charlotte slowly came back to her senses.
Their faces were so close that if she lowered her head, she could bury it in his neck. Their posture was so intimate that it made Charlotte feel a bit delusional.
She felt uneasy and wanted to struggle.
But Frederick commanded with a husky voice, "Don't move!"
He gently placed the umbrella handle in her palm. His hand was so hot that Charlotte wanted to escape, but he wouldn't allow it. He almost immediately wrapped her soft hand in his.
Charlotte stared at him, her red lips slightly parted, looking somewhat enticing.
Frederick lowered his head and kissed her, entangling with her in the rain.
The rain continued to drizzle, and the world seemed so quiet that it felt like only the two of them were left. Charlotte initially resisted, but Frederick was surprisingly dominant in matters between men and women, and she was slowly tamed.
The black umbrella fell to the ground and was blown away by the wind.
Charlotte couldn't help but wrap her arms around the man's neck, tilting her head to kiss him. Her vulnerable state seemed to offer herself to him, and the sounds of her arousal made her blush and her heart race.
No words were needed at this moment; they understood each other perfectly!
Ethan no longer mattered.
Frederick took Charlotte to his luxurious apartment in a bustling area. He looked at Charlotte's wet clothes and pulled a black shirt from the closet for her. "Go take a shower and change your clothes. Make do with this for now; I'll have Lucy bring some clothes over next morning."
Charlotte was 24 years old; she wasn't so naive as to not understand anything.
She silently took the shirt and looked up at Frederick.
Frederick, however, took a bathrobe and went to the guest room. Charlotte was surprised but also less nervous. Only then did she have the chance to look at Frederick's bedroom.
He had a preference for modern heavy metal art, and his entire bedroom had cold, hard decor with a strong personal style.
The furniture was dark gray. Bed sheets and curtains were black.
Charlotte bit her lip lightly and went to the bathroom. When she came out, she was only wearing his shirt. Frederick was very tall, about 6'1". His shirt could serve as a nightgown for Charlotte; it was loose and comfortable, and the color complemented her skin. Below the shirt's hem were a pair of long, slender, fair legs.
When Frederick came in to get some documents, he saw this scene.
His Adam's apple involuntarily bobbed twice.
