Love's Change of Heart

Half an hour later, Leanna looked at the pile of toys in front of her as she remained silent.

She thought this tactic would hold Charlotte back a little.

Little did she know Charlotte was so skillful…

From the side, Charlotte could be heard saying, “I’ve got another one!”

Leanna was speechless.

Just as Charlotte was about to continue playing, Leanna said, “Alright, Charlotte, that’s enough.”

Charlotte said, “I’m going to get a few more!”

Leanna licked her lips. “I’m getting thirsty. Let’s get something to drink.”

When Charlotte heard that, she could only give up. “Alright. We’ll get a drink, then we can come back later…”

Leanna hastily pulled her away.

The toys she obtained were stuffed into various shopping bags and taken back to the car by the bodyguards.

As they sat in the cafe, Charlotte played with the little guy for a moment, then flopped on the table as if she were completely spent. She didn’t even want to move.

Leanna asked, “What’s the matter? You looked so spirited just now.”

“It’s nothing. I just feel like everything’s changed…”

Seeing Charlotte’s gradually sinking expression, Leanna said, “You should be happy that your grandfather is still alive.”

Charlotte supported her chin with her arm. “Yes, Grandpa is still alive, but…”
