Chapter 1456: Chapter 1456: Please don’t be angry, okay?
Annie Anne saw Justin Battleson talking to Charlotte Thompson with his head lowered.
Immediately, Annie’s eyes widened in sudden realization.
No wonder she felt as if a cold gaze had just landed on her.
Didn’t Riley Thompson say those things just to stir up trouble between Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson?
If she agreed to Charlotte Thompson’s request at this critical moment, wouldn’t Justin Battleson hold a grudge against her?
When Annie Anne looked at Campbell Prickly again, her eyes were full of gratitude.
"But it seems like Miss Thompson and Mr. Battleson have a good relationship," Campbell Prickly said softly to Annie Anne as he withdrew his gaze.
"Yeah, their relationship is very good," Annie Anne said, curving her lips, though unaware that a hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes.
Coincidentally, this emotion was caught by Campbell Prickly.
"Doesn’t Miss Anne have an enviable partner herself?"
But Annie Anne only laughed softly and didn’t continue the topic with Campbell Prickly.
...
As Charlotte watched Annie Anne being led away by Campbell Prickly, she parted her lips but ultimately said nothing.
At this moment, a pair of arms wrapped around Charlotte’s waist, pulling her into a broad chest.
"Charlotte."
Justin Battleson hugged Charlotte from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"I really didn’t know why I ran into Riley Thompson that day. When I first saw her, I did think it was you, but I immediately recognized that it wasn’t you."
Although Justin Battleson had already explained this to Charlotte before, he naturally noticed her displeased expression and explained once more.
"It was really just a coincidence, I don’t know why she was there, but nothing happened between us."
As he spoke, Justin’s voice carried a hint of grievance.
"Nothing happened, yet there was lipstick on your collar. That’s quite unexpected."
Charlotte spoke slowly.
Even though she had forgiven Justin for this matter earlier, being reminded of it again stirred up her jealousy.
"Charlotte, don’t be mad, okay?"
Only in front of Charlotte would Justin display such a gentle side.
He quietly brought his lips close to Charlotte, finally placing a gentle kiss on her ear.
The slightly wet sensation on her ear made Charlotte jump in surprise, feeling a bit ticklish, so her shoulder instinctively jerked, accidentally knocking against Justin’s chin, making him gasp in pain.
Charlotte quickly turned around to check on Justin’s condition.
"Are you okay?" Charlotte blinked as she looked at Justin.
But Justin was holding his chin, looking at Charlotte pitifully, "Ouch, it hurts."
Then his gaze shifted slightly as he brought his face closer to Charlotte.
"Charlotte, what should we do?"
Seeing Justin’s persistence, Charlotte reached out to push his face away, but Justin seized the opportunity to clasp her palm.
"Charlotte, how can I make you stop being angry?"
"Let go."
Charlotte raised her brow, and at this moment, the dissatisfaction in her heart had already dissipated without a trace.
