Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 618 Said Nothing

Only Aidan, Leanna, and Lachlan were in the back room. Aidan was on the couch looking tense. The gaze he afforded Lachlan was devoid of any emotion. The air around him seemed to shiver with a chill. Lachlan was unfazed, staring back at Aidan with an undaunted spirit. The air itself was feeling tense.

Leanna was sitting beside Aidan with her hands on her knees, and she took a deep breath.

A long while later, Lachlan slowly said, “You should have gotten the answers you wanted. What else would you like to know?”

“What are you up to?”

“What happened in Highside wasn’t my fault. If you’re referring to Naomi’s return, then what can I say? That was the choice she made.”

“Perhaps I wasn’t clear. What I mean is, what did you say to her?”

Naomi was a proud woman. Even though she had to be excluded from the family tree, she still left Jamesdon and lived on her own in Highside for many years. Despite all the obstacles she faced, she never returned to Jamesdon and wouldn’t ask the Woodleys for help. Hence, she would never choose to come back to Jamesdon for no reason.

Easily, Lachlan answered, “You heard Aunt Naomi. She wants to stay with her father.”

Aidan looked at him coolly. “You told Oscar to bring her back.”

“No. All I offered was an option. She could have chosen not to return.”

“What are you up to?” Aidan asked again.

Lachlan leaned back into his chair, crossed his legs, and tapped on the armrest lightly. He didn’t say a word.

“Naomi wouldn’t have returned. Not when she made the decision to leave.”
