Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 616 I Disagree

After the ceremony was over, most people took their leave. The only ones who stayed were there for the drama. Since most of the Woodleys were gone, Leanna and Aidan stood out. Nobody had seen them before. If Naomi weren’t here, they wouldn’t think much about these two. However, now that she was here, the fact that another man about the age of Lachlan stood around posed many questions. And the fact that he resembled Lachlan a little piled more questions on.

Noticing the whispers, Philip looked at Aidan through his spectacles, though he probably didn’t see him clearly. A few coughs escaped his lips. “The ceremony has come to an end. The Elders, Charles, Lachlan, and Naomi, stay here. Everyone else, proceed to the lobby, please.”

The crowd made their way to the lobby. Nobody would go against Philip’s orders, after all.

Charlotte tried to sneak away as well, but Philip said, “Ah, Charlotte, you will have to stay as well.”

She pulled her foot back and stood beside her father.

Once everyone was gone, Philip picked up his teacup and blew on the tea. “One agenda at a time.” He looked at Charlotte. “And we’re starting with you.”

Charlotte tried to put on a coy act to get out of the matter. “Grandpa Philip…”

Philip took a sip of his tea. Charlotte’s act would not work this time. He then raised his head. “You three may come in now.”

Aidan pursed his lips and entered with Leanna. Waylen looked around. Should I go in? He scratched his head. F*ck it. I’ll do it.

The moment Aidan came in, Charlotte tried to hold his arm, but he dodged it. She was a little intimidated by the look Aidan was giving her, but he was her only ticket out of the marriage with Lachlan.
