Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 712

Chapter 712

Clara got to her feet, her mind replaying flashes of the first time she'd met Charles. Strangely, though, in all those scattered memories, the person she'd grown closest to in recent days was missing.

She looked over at Charles and grinned. "Bro, are we going or not?"

To Charles, Clara could never be anything but adorable. As long as she still called him "brother," she was the best little sister in the world.

"Of course we're going!" Charles put on a dramatic pout. "I brought the helicopter, you know-the one you said should be covered in jewels? I actually did it! And you're not even going to compliment me? I'm heartbroken!"

When Clara and the others stepped outside, they were nearly blinded by the helicopter waiting for them. Under the glow of the setting sun, the diamonds encrusted on the chopper sparkled like crazy.

Clara couldn't help but rub her eyes. "We're really... taking that thing?"

"Obviously! Isn't it awesome?" Charles asked, suddenly sounding a little unsure.

Clara's lips twitched as she headed for the helicopter. "It's gorgeous. Anything from you is the best."

Ryan froze, his face going pale. He looked down. "Are you worried I'll hold you back?"
