I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 612 Messed With Other Women

The Woodley Family's biannual gathering was to bring the Woodleys together so they could go through the process

at once.

Ancestor worship was one of the most important agendas.

Nowadays, the younger generation of the Woodley Family held no interest in these red tapes, but the older

generation still honored the ancestral tradition. Every detail must be handled carefully with no negligence.

Therefore, the Woodley Family's gatherings never provided entertainment, nor were outsiders allowed to attend.

After Aidan left, Waylen wiped off his sweat and called Lachlan in a hurry.

He said, "Aidan had come to see me."

Lachlan's tone was flat. "What did he ask you?"

Waylen cleared his throat. "Well… He asked about the child's condition and some trivial matters."

"Anything else?"

"He asked me to bring him to the Woodleys' family gathering next Sunday."

Lachlan did not speak. Waylen could only hear him breathing steadily on the other end of the phone.

Waylen tentatively said, "Maybe I should lie low for a while. There's nothing he can do if I am not in Jamesdon."

Lachlan said, "Don't bother. He would find a way to get into the Woodley Family Estate even if you are not around."

"Guess you have a point. If I leave, who will take care of this mess?"

"I will pass the message. You can just bring him over to the estate directly when the time comes."

Waylen remained silent for a while. "Are you… planning to tell him now?"

Lachlan replied, "I just follow the rules. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with me."

Waylen didn't have much to say.

Lachlan was the expert of buck-passing.

Kian would applaud it if he were still alive.

Soon, Lachlan's voice came again. "The news that you left Jamesdon has already reached some people. Don't

cause any trouble in the next few days. Stay in the laboratory and don't come out. We will talk about it on the day

of ancestor worship."

"Got it. I'll go back now."

After hanging up the phone, Waylen hurriedly showered and returned to the laboratory.

…

In the hotel, Leanna called Louis and told him that the little guy was sick, and she and Aidan took him to see the

doctor. She did not hide anything from him, nor did she go into more details. She only mentioned that she was not

sure of her return date.

Louis knew she didn't want to talk too much, so he didn't ask further.

Leanna put down her phone, looked out the window, and breathed.

The doorbell rang at this time.

She thought it was the hotel staff who wanted to send the dinner.

Leanna got up and opened the door, but she saw several strangers standing outside instead.

The one in the lead said, "Please follow us."

She stepped back and held the door handle. "Who are you?"

The man responded, "You don't need to know."

Just as they were about to step forward, Leanna took out her phone. "Come over again, and I'll call the police."

"It won't do you any good to call the police."

"It doesn't seem to be a pleasant thing for you, either."

Just when the other party wanted to force her to come, the hotel manager came over after receiving the news.

"Hey, guys, what's going on here? If you have any problems, you can tell me directly."

The man said, "Our master wants to invite this lady to his place as a guest."

Leanna's face was expressionless. "I don't know you guys, and I don't know your master, so why should I go?"

The manager probably recognized the man's identity and hurriedly went forward to smooth things over. "It's just a

misunderstanding—"

"A few days ago, Mr. Pearson took away our young lady, causing her to stay out all night. Is this also a

misunderstanding?" the man interrupted the manager and looked at Leanna.

Leanna was taken aback when she heard his words. A few days ago? When?

The man continued, "You don't have to worry. Our master just wants to ask you a few questions, and he will send

you back afterward."

She regained her composure. "I will not come with you because I don't know your master. Besides, Aidan was the

one who took your young lady away, so you should speak to him instead of me. Do you think I am a pushover that

you can put the blame on me?"

The man probably did not expect her to answer this way and frowned.

The hotel manager also said, "Ah… Yes, why don't we wait for Mr. Pearson to come back? Maybe there is a

misunderstanding."

The man glanced at him, and he immediately fell silent.

Charles was considered a prestigious figure in the Woodley Family. Unlike Lachlan, Charles often appeared in the

media. It can be seen from Charlotte inviting so many media to attend her birthday party.

Therefore, anyone who did business in Jamesdon would have seen Charles' confidants.

When the two sides were at a standstill, Aidan returned.

He walked up to Leanna and stopped. He said in a cold voice, "What's wrong?"

The hotel manager took the initiative and explained, "It probably has something to do with Miss Woodley."

Aidan looked at the man in charge and said, "Tell the person who sent you here I will come over personally in a few

days. Whether he wants to know the purpose of my visit to Jamesdon or wants to settle a score with me, I am all for

it."

The man hesitated and did not move for a while.

Aidan asked, "Are you waiting for me to see you off?"

Those men left quickly after hearing his words.

Seeing this, the hotel manager also breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded slightly toward them before leaving.

Leanna removed her hand from the door handle and returned to the living room.

Aidan took off his jacket and threw it on the couch, unbuttoned the collar of his shirt with one hand, and whispered,

"Have you eaten yet?"

"I already ate."

"What did you eat?"

"Fury."

Aidan was lost for words.

He sat on the coffee table and rested his long legs casually, after which he looked at the person in front of him.

"Don't bother about the Woodleys."

Leanna said flatly, "I didn't."

Aidan raised his eyebrows. "Then, why are you unhappy?"

She was silent before taking another deep breath. "There's something I can't figure out."

"Hmm?"

"Why is it that I'm always in trouble whenever you mess with other women outside? Does it even make sense?"

The man could only keep to himself.

Leanna ignored him and picked up her phone to order a barbecue.

Aidan took her phone and explained, "That Miss Woodley they were talking about has nothing to do with me. I just

happened to run into her when I was looking for Lachlan. She insisted on following me, and at that time, you were

at Lachlan's place, so I took her with me."

Leanna responded, "Oh. She insisted on following you, huh? I guess President Pearson is just as charming as ever.

You can knock out dozens of girls wherever you are."

The man chuckled. "You just know?"

She didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Go away, you b*stard.

She snatched the phone back and continued to order the barbecue.

Aidan then asked, "Don't you want to order anything else?"

Leanna ignored him.

He continued, "Don't you like Italian bread? Order one without vinegar."

After a pause, he added, "Because you're already having it."
