Chapter 765 Can I Touch Any Woman
Charlotte couldn't believe Brady had sent his assistant to help her.
For a moment, she forgot about the pain in her hand, her eyes widening as she watched the handsome man approach.
So, he still wasn't taking the bait?
Charlotte felt a bit frustrated.
Was this guy really that old-fashioned?
But today, she had felt the strength of his chest, solid and full of muscle.
There was also a faint, clean scent mixed with his strong masculine aura.
This aura made Charlotte's heart race uncontrollably.
She remembered back when she was abroad, a professor had once said that a charming man could captivate a woman with his presence alone, even without speaking.
At the time, she had doubted the professor's words.
How could a man, no matter how charming, be that alluring without saying a word?
Now, she believed it.
Brady perfectly validated the professor's statement.
Such a perfect man made her heart flutter and itch with desire.
Charlotte, suppressing her trembling heart, took another infatuated look at the man. He was so handsome that it made her heart quiver.
"Ms. Devereux? Shall we go?" As Charlotte gazed at Brady, the assistant who had followed them reached out to support her arm.
Charlotte didn't need a minor assistant touching her.
She immediately pulled away from Brady's embrace, her eyes brimming with tears as she said, "I can go by myself."
She paused, then looked at Brady and deliberately played the victim, saying, "Mr. Hall, I'm sorry. I messed up and spilled your coffee."
"It's okay, it's not your fault. Go take care of your burn. If you don't treat it promptly, it could get infected," Brady said, his tone softening slightly.
"Okay." Charlotte nodded obediently, then held her hand and headed to the nearby restroom to rinse it.
"I'll go with her to help," Calliope said, following her.
Brady had no objections. "Alright."
The two women went to the restroom to treat the burn.
Brady glanced in their direction, considering that she had hurt her hand while getting coffee for him.
He then instructed his assistant, "Go see if there's any burn ointment nearby and get some for Ms. Devereux."
The assistant nodded. "Mr. Hall, I'll go get it right away."
Brady checked the time.
There was still a bit before the meeting, so he decided to wait.
He sat down on a nearby bench and turned on his phone. As soon as it powered up, a message from Violet popped up on the screen.
Brady opened it. Violet had asked him to call her once he arrived in Thornwick.
Brady's lips curved into a smile.
He obediently called her back, pleased that his wife cared about his business trip.
The call connected in a few seconds, and Violet quickly answered, "Honey, did you arrive?"
"Yes, I'm here. Just letting you know I'm safe," Brady said, his voice filled with affection.
Even if she hadn't reminded him to call, he would have called her as soon as he landed to let her know he had arrived safely.
"Oh. Make sure you behave over there. Don't go flirting with other women," Violet teased playfully, hinting at her concern.
Brady chuckled at her words. "Do you think I'm some kind of animal that goes after any woman?"
"Sweetheart, are you not confident in yourself, or do you not trust me?"
"Neither. It's just that I'm pregnant!" Violet said, her voice playful even through the phone.
"Don't worry. Even if I wanted to, I only want to be with you," Brady's voice was deep and magnetic, soothing Violet. "Honey, I love you."
This was the first time Brady had expressed his love over the phone.
Hearing this, Violet's heart swelled, as if a thousand horses were charging towards her heart, stirring up waves of emotion that made her heart race.
She lowered her eyes gently and replied sweetly, "Honey, I love you too."
"I'll get you a gift once I finish up here," Brady said.
"Okay, I'll be waiting," Violet replied with a smile, not wanting to tell him that she had already followed him there.
She wanted to see how Charlotte planned to seduce Brady.
Otherwise, all of Charlotte's dramatic performances of heroic injury would be in vain.
