Understanding the meaning behind his words, Clara Bennett's cheeks flushed slightly, "Wouldn't that make it seem like you have the upper hand?"
Even in the dim light, William Foster's gentle blinking was enough to highlight his unique charm. He replied with a feigned innocence, "Is this taking advantage? I always can't bear to use force on you, or perhaps you prefer..."
"Stop talking."
