This softened his heart immediately.
With just one shove, he pushed Lochlan’s hands away from Charlotte’s shoulders.
In the next moment, she fell steadily into his arms and he could feel her shudder helplessly.
Joseph patted her back comfortingly, “Don’t be afraid, I am here...”
Charlotte threw her arms around his waist and burrowed her face in his chest as she cried.
Lochlan felt like he had been stabbed deep in his chest.
It was as if an invisible boulder fell sharply on his chest, suffocating him.
He stared at Joseph grimly with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. “Sister? When did Mrs. Field give birth to a sister this age?”
He stared at Charlotte who was in Joseph’s arms and ordered, “Lottie, come over here.”
He could barely wait to break both of Joseph’s arms! How dare he wrap his arms around my little darling, whom I had loved and protected with every inch of my soul?
She must be disfigured now because of Joseph and the Field family. This was the reason why she refused to acknowledge me!
Lochlan glared at Joseph angrily for cuddling Charlotte in his arms.
Charlotte looked up slowly from Joseph’s arms and shot Lochlan a swift glance, “I don’t know you.”
Her eyes were distant and had none of the previous love and affection.
He looks so frightening right now.
There’s no way I will go to him.
He must have become this fierce out of disgust for my face.
Charlotte could not accept this reality at all.
She had imagined beforehand how it would be to run into Lochlan. While she was afraid that Lochlan would despise her, she was also quietly hoping that he might not.
