Chapter 42

A year ago, Charlotte had caught a distant glimpse of Nicholas. Back then, he wasn't unattractive, but he was nowhere near as breathtaking as he appeared in the video now. Charlotte had seen her fair share of handsome men. At a top-tier university like Stola University, good-looking guys were practically everywhere. But the only one who had ever truly left her in awe was Nicholas. "I guess I should turn off the video, then." Nicholas pretended to switch to a voice call. "Don't!" Charlotte's panicked voice rang out. Then, a face appeared on the screen. A face so stunning it could make a heart skip a beat; so impossibly beautiful it felt otherworldly. Even though Nicholas had mentally prepared himself, and even though he had seen clips of Charlotte on TikTok, he still couldn't help but suck in a breath the moment he saw her. His expression betrayed his astonishment. She was gorgeous. She was like a goddess descending to earth; a beauty that shouldn't exist in the mortal realm
