Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 763

Chapter 763 Everyone Still Sees Me as a Child

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."
