Chapter 34

Della heard Charlie's voice and walked inside to find Harper sitting with Charlie.

With a helpless look on her face, Della turned to Harper.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know my aunt would—"

"It's okay." Harper shook her head with a smile. "I don't mind."

Charlie met Della's gaze.

"You wouldn't let me come in because Harper was here, right? I should be the one to apologize. I usually just wait in reception, but I was in a bit of a hurry today."

Harper studied Charlie and Della's expressions, feeling that the tense atmosphere was because of her.

So, she decided to chime in and work things out.

"I honestly didn't mind. Don't be angry with each other because of me," Harper said with a smile.

"I'm quite happy to talk with Charlie. And Della, I should be thanking you for the misunderstanding. I would've been bored here since Annie isn't very good when it comes to making conversation."
