He held her tightly, making her somewhat uncomfortable...
She instinctively wanted to break away from him, but his words, like a warm current, filled every cell in her body that wanted to struggle.
Gradually, she leaned into Claud Laurence's embrace, softly whispering, "Engagement, is it really a decision you've thoroughly considered?"
"Yes."
"But I..."
Claud Laurence kissed Alice, swallowing the words from her mouth.
She wanted to escape but was held by him, deeply kissed.
She couldn't breathe, feeling as if her entire body was under his control...
He tried to explore her mouth, but her body was stiff, her teeth clenched tightly...
He held her tight, trying several times, but still couldn't pry open her teeth.
Eventually, he slowly released her.
Her stiff body gradually relaxed after he let go, but she didn't dare look up at him.
He gently held her shoulders, "What's wrong?"
She looked up at his gentle face, apologetically saying, "Sorry... I'm not ready yet."
