Charlotte’s injured hand hit the sofa, and she sucked in an audible gasp of pain.

 

Zachary frowned, and there was apparently upset in his eyes, but still, his features were schooled into a cold look.

Charlotte then took her phone and ended the call.

“I do,” Charlotte replied.

 
 

The tense atmosphere had no traces of the passionate moment from a while ago.
