Geez, he wants me to leave already. Waylen left the place at lightning speed.
Soon, Lachlan turned around, and as he was about to leave, he noticed Charlotte peeking out from
behind a nearby stone pillar. When their eyes met, she immediately retreated and hid herself behind
the pillar. Lachlan looked over and asked impassively, “What are you doing there?”
After a few seconds, Charlotte slowly walked out and whispered, “Lachlan…”
“Do you need something from me?” Lachlan casually placed his hand in his pocket and calmly asked.
As Charlotte stood in front of him with her hands clasped together, she gently nodded. “I came to
apologize to you.”
“What for?”
Charlotte said, “I was wrong in the past. I was too stubborn. Please don’t take what I said to heart. If…
if you’re furious, you can vent your anger on me, but please don’t direct it toward Grandpa and Dad.”
After a moment, Lachlan chuckled softly. “Do you think I would get angry because you refused to marry
me?”
Hearing that, she pouted and pointed her finger. “It’s not entirely because of that… I said a lot of hurtful
things back then.” Thinking back, she realized she had been quite unreasonable. On top of that, she
made it seem like he had some ulterior motives toward her when in fact, he didn’t want to marry her
either. This was all because of the unnecessary marriage engagement.
Seeing Charlotte lower her head, Lachlan said, “Alright, I won’t argue with a child. Now that the
engagement has been completely dissolved, you should focus on what you need to do and stop
thinking about these matters.”
For some reason, Charlotte felt that Lachlan’s words were slightly gentler than what he had said to her
before. It was as if he truly regarded her as a child and was comforting her. She softly retorted, “I’m
already twenty years old. You always say I’m a child when I’m already of age to get married.”
Lachlan was lost for words upon hearing that. “You should go back,” he said.
She let out a soft ‘Oh’ and took two steps forward before turning back. She gazed at Lachlan with a
glint in her beautiful eyes as she said, “Well then, let’s make a deal. You won’t get angry about what
happened before, and you can’t blame it on Grandpa and Dad! Cross your heart!”
At that, Lachlan looked at her quietly, and his expression was unchanged. Perhaps he had never heard
such a threat before. He found it absurd and a little amusing at the same time. Seeing that he was
quiet, Charlotte became anxious. Does he really have no intention of letting me off the hook? With that,
she held her breath and hesitantly reached out her hand. As she held it up in front of him, she asked,
“Shall we… make a pinky promise?”
Lachlan’s eyebrow twitched imperceptibly as he looked at her expectant and nervous gaze while
pursing his lips. After a moment, he finally reached out his hand and turned his head to the side as he
played along with her silly game.
Charlotte’s face immediately lit up with a smile. She didn’t care much about anything else and hooked
her finger with his while murmuring, “Pinky promise! Cross your heart so that you won’t break the
promise.”
After completing this series of vows, the satisfied Charlotte finally withdrew her hand and exclaimed,
“Alright!” With that said, she looked up at Lachlan’s expressionless face, and her smile abruptly faded.
She then instinctively shrunk her neck.
Lachlan put his hand down and met her gaze before speaking slowly, “Charlotte, anyone over the age
of ten wouldn’t engage in such childish behavior.”
When she heard that, Charlotte stammered, “B-But it doesn’t matter. You just agreed to it! You can’t go
back on your word!”
As she uttered those last few words, she had an inexplicable feeling that he might change his mind in
the next second, so she quickly ran away while keeping an eye on him cautiously.
As expected, she didn’t learn her lesson about not paying attention to where she was going and ended
up tripping into a pile of leaves that the servants had swept but hadn’t yet dealt with. She was instantly
submerged in a heap of leaves.
Meanwhile, Lachlan stood in place while watching the scene unfold as he rubbed his temples with his
hand. Fortunately, it was a big pile of leaves, so Charlotte didn’t get hurt. She quickly got up and
dashed away.
…
In the evening, Leanna and Zoe saw a man who had been waiting outside for a long time as soon as
they left the studio. “I’m sorry, I was busy today. You’ve been waiting for a while, haven’t you?” Zoe
asked.
She’s here. Brandon replied with a smile, “No, I just arrived a moment ago. “After saying that, he
looked at Leanna and nodded at her as he greeted her.
After Brandon and Zoe had gotten together, he would pick her up after work every day. They would
have dinner together, and then he would send her home—just the usual thing couples did.
“Have fun, guys. I’ll be heading back.” Leanna smiled gently at the young couple.
“Be careful on your way home. Let me know when you get home.” Zoe waved at her.
“Okay, you guys, go ahead.” With that, Zoe and Brandon turned and walked away. Leanna sighed while
she watched them leave, as the distance between these two people was enough to fit another person
in. Just by looking at them, she knew that they hadn’t made any progress.
Perhaps Zoe was right. When one still held feelings for someone else in their heart, they could never
truly let go. As Leanna shook her head, she withdrew her gaze and headed home. On the way back,
she remembered that she had said she would make soup for Aidan last night, so she made a detour to
the supermarket and bought a lot of ingredients. After arriving home, she washed the pork ribs and
placed them on the stove to cook. Meanwhile, she put away all the groceries she had bought into the
refrigerator.
The day before, Leanna was almost caught by Aidan when he discovered the box where she was
hiding the medicine. She claimed it was seafood to avoid suspicion. Thus, when she went to the
supermarket earlier, she deliberately bought another box of seafood and placed it in the refrigerator,
conveniently blocking the box of medicine. After completing all of this, the water on the stove had
boiled. Leanna turned off the heat and poured out the blanching liquid before putting them back on the
stove. After that, she picked up her phone and called Aidan. The phone rang for a while before he
answered.
Just as she was about to speak, she remembered the lesson from before. “You’re not in a meeting,
right?” she asked, making sure he wasn’t occupied.
On the other end of the phone, Aidan chuckled softly, “I just came out of the meeting room.”
Hearing that, Leanna heaved a sigh of relief. That’s great. “I’ve made dinner. What time will you be
back?”
“It’ll be a while. Don’t wait for me. Go ahead and eat,” Aidan replied. Hearing that, Leanna glanced at
the time and noticed that it was already 8.30PM. “Okay, I got it,” she said.
After hanging up the phone, Leanna sat on the couch and took out her notebook. Since she wasn’t
hungry yet, she planned to eat later. Just as she picked up her pen, she heard a knocking sound from
outside, but it wasn’t at her door. However, only she and Zoe lived on this floor, along with the two
empty houses that Aidan had bought. Who could be knocking at the door?
