Chapter 261

“Sorry about that my mistake. I thought he was your boyfriend. You two just look like such a good match.”

Charlotte quickly waved her hands. “No, no, not at

Charlotte glanced at him, feeling a little awkward. She noticed the subtle shift in his face and said with some embarrassment, “I really didn’t expect the guy to assume that. I’m sorry if it made things weird for you.”

Scott let out a small laugh, his tone playful.

“What, are you really that eager to deny any y connection to me?”

“Huh?” Charlotte blinked, a little caught off guard.
