Phoenix frowned. "Don't flatter yourself. I'm just making an idle remark." Although that was what he said, his expression was turning slightly awkward.
"Besides, it's not because I care about you that I came to tell you about it. I just don't like the two of them. So, please ... Don't get me wrong," said Phoenix as his face turned stiff.
"Sweetheart, don't worry! I know exactly what you mean!" said Charlotte as she gave Phoenix a hug. "And ... I don't think I'm flattering myself! You really care about me! So, stop denying it!"
Then she turned her face to him and kissed him on his cheek.
Immediately, Phoenix blushed.
Charlotte went on and pretended that she wanted to kiss him again as she continued, "Come on ... if you still deny that you care about me, I'm going to keep kissing you until you admit it!"
Upon hearing that, Phoenix was speechless.
