Chapter 627 I’m Used To It

Charlotte peeked out and lowered her voice further. "I've become increasingly aware that he's incredibly annoying. He's so cruel and talks disparagingly. How did you stand it when you were with him?"

Leanna raised her eyebrows, not expecting her to comment on Aidan like that. She smiled as she took out the plates. "Don't you fancy him?"

Charlotte came back to herself, realizing that only after that reminder. "Oh, yes. I did say I fancy him."

Leanna replied, "Alright, let's go out and sit. It's nearly time to eat." Despite the short amount of time she spent with Charlotte, Leanna found her amusing and cute.

Nevertheless, Charlotte probably didn't even realize that she didn't like Aidan at all. She didn't want to marry Lachlan, and Aidan had shown up when all her protests came to no avail. Aidan rivaled Lachlan in terms of family background, status, and appearance, and he was widely feared in Jamesdon. Moreover, Aidan had seemed like a bright ray of hope for her, so she had claimed to fancy him and tried to use him to escape the marriage. Lachlan saw that, too, so he sent her to Highside. Her presence in Highside and beside Aidan had made the Woodley Family anxious, fearful, and angry.

Charlotte sat beside Leanna during the meal and ate diligently, clearly hungry.

At that moment, Aidan asked, "What time are you going to the studio?"

Leanna answered, "After eating. When are you going to the company?"

"Around the same time. I'll bring you there."

Charlotte looked up at their conversation, her cheeks bulging as she asked softly, "Where are you two going? Can you take me along?"

He looked at her, sounding neutral. "No."

Seeing his gaze, she became anxious. "Didn't you tell me to go find a job? I am unfamiliar with the city and everyone here, so I don't know what to do."
