Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 615 A Lot of Stuff

Leanna turned around, looking confused. “Why isn’t it confirmed yet?”

“Because she went after a man a few days ago. Right in front of everyone. They’re going to lambast her after the ceremony today.”

The Woodleys had a way with lectures. A little critique could take them hours. No matter how mischievous the younger Woodleys were, they would not step out of line during the gathering for fear that their elders would critique them. And they had no right to stop it midway, too. All they could do was suffer. One wrong word or expression would earn them a few days of lecturing.

“I see.” Leanna looked away.

Waylen was feeling delighted, but when he met Aidan’s gaze, he quickly composed himself and stood up straighter.

Charlotte turned around, having heard him. When she saw Aidan, her eyes lit up. Just when she was about to approach Aidan, Charles held her back.

Charles hissed, “Did you forget where you are?”

Charlotte turned back reluctantly. Charles looked at Aidan and Leanna, and a frown formed on his face. This wasn’t the first time Leanna was met with a look of disapproval, but she could understand. No father would be happy to see the man his daughter was attracted to.

Waylen whispered, “Everyone’s here. Five minutes until the ancestor worship starts.”

“What about Lachlan? He’s not here yet,” said Leanna.

Just then, a prominent figure came in. It was none other than Lachlan. Then, the hall went silent.

A moment later, someone said, “You were very nearly late. And this is an important ceremony. Don’t you think that’s a bit disrespectful?”
