“Well… first of all, let me say that I just heard about the marriage agreement today.”
I didn’t want her to think that I had been hiding the arrangement from her, so I told her what she needed to know first.
I’m not sure if Charlotte-san understood that, but she nodded her head and urged me to go on.
Apparently, she was going to listen to everything I had to say.
“And I don’t mean to accept the marriage, either. I’ve already got Charlotte-san to take care of me.”
“Akito-kun…”
I smiled, and Charlotte-san smiled back happily and pressed her face against my chest.
I thought to myself, “Does that mean she’s relieved?”
―Charlotte-san’s cheeks were puffed up when I looked up at her about ten minutes later.
“Akito-kun.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Why didn’t you tell me about this when you heard about it?”
I thought she was convinced― but Charlotte-san didn’t seem to be from the looks of it.
The expression on her face clearly showed that she was completely sulking.
“Let’s see…”
“I was hoping that since I’m your girlfriend, you could talk to me about girl-related matters…”
I see, so that’s the reason why she’s sulking…
I think she already understood from my expression alone and talking that I was fine, but she didn’t like the fact that the conversation ended without her knowing anything about it.
To be honest, I didn’t want her to worry, but if Charlotte-san wants me to talk to her, I’ll have to do it in the future.
―No, I hope we don’t have to talk about this in the future.
