Chapter 626 I’m Here to Join You
Charlotte was in a hurry to get to Highside and had only brought a few clothes with her. Moreover,
Aidan had asked Jonathan to throw her into the room where they piled up their belongings, leaving her
with no daily necessities.
As soon as she entered the supermarket, she eagerly grabbed a shopping cart and picked up whatever
she saw.
Aidan walked behind her and complained, "Why did you bring her out?"
Leanna placed a few milk cartons in the shopping cart and replied, "Can't you see how hungry she
looks?"
"Studies show that people can go up to seven days without eating before starving to death."
She was speechless by his statement.
Although the supermarket was not a huge shopping mall, one that could satisfy everyday needs. They
walked for a while and soon reached the end.
On the other hand, Charlotte had already stuffed a shopping cart to the brim. She stood at the cashier
and waved at them. When they came over, she proudly took out her phone and said, "I'll pay."
Leanna was about to say something, but Aidan interjected, "Let her pay. She's stupid but has too much
money."
Charlotte pouted, feeling aggrieved when she heard that.
After the cashier scanned all the items, she told Charlotte, "You can scan here for payment."
Then, Charlotte scanned with her phone, but the payment failed. So, she tried switching to another
payment app, but it didn't work. The cashier across from her stood there with a polite smile, watching

However, Charlotte felt her scalp numb and wanted to find a hiding place. She stiffly turned her neck
and looked at Leanna for help.
Seeing that, Leanna smiled. "Let me do it."
After paying the bill, the items in Charlotte's shopping cart filled three large bags. When she stood there
not knowing what to do, a salesperson in the supermarket said, "Ma'am, if you're not in a hurry, we can
deliver it to your apartment later."
Charlotte was about to nod when Aidan's voice sounded from behind. "There's a cart at the entrance of
the neighborhood. Go get it and push it back yourself."
"I—" Before she could finish speaking, she met his cold eyes, and her words were swallowed up. She
grunted and left the supermarket to look for the cart.
Then, Aidan took the bags from Leanna and said, "Let's go."
On the way back, she asked, "The supermarket can deliver for her. Why did you make her carry it back
herself?"
"She's used to having someone follow her and take care of things in Jamesdon, so she never thinks
about the consequences of her actions. This is only a small lesson. The supermarket can deliver this
time, but she'll have to figure out how to solve other problems independently in the future."
After hearing that, her lips curved. "I didn't expect you to be—"
"What do you mean?"
Leanna said thoughtfully, "Nothing. Will she be staying here in the future?"
Aidan grunted. "To prevent her from causing trouble, we will keep an eye on her. She'll be a bargaining
chip no matter what happens to the Woodley Family in the future." He paused before continuing, "If you
don't want to see her, I can find a place to lock her up and keep her out of sight."
His statement took her aback, and she said, "No need for that. Let's leave it at that."
Soon after arriving home, Leanna's fresh fruits and vegetables that she bought online came. As she put
the spaghetti on to boil, the doorbell rang.
Outside the door, Charlotte was holding a few bags of snacks. "Can I use this to exchange for lunch?"
Leanna laughed lightly and made way for her. "Come in."
Charlotte immediately smiled and placed the snacks in Leanna's arms. "Thank you, Leanna!"
Then, Leanna placed the snacks on the coffee table. "Sit on the couch for a while. I'll go cook."
Charlotte nodded. "Okay." Then, she sat on the couch after Leanna entered the kitchen, looking around
the room filled with baby items and toys, full of curiosity. She saw a few adorable dolls in the baby crib
next to her, so she walked over and picked them up.
At that moment, Aidan came out of the bedroom and looked at her. "Who let you come here?"
When she heard that, she argued, "Leanna let me in!"
Suddenly, he mercilessly took the doll from her and threw them into the crib. "Although I let you stay
here, there are things you need to restrain yourself from."
Charlotte thought he was referring to her embarrassment and pity while paying at the supermarket. "My
dad suspended all my cards—"
"Did you not consider the consequences before coming here?"
"I—" She instinctively wanted to retort but didn't know what to say. With the opportunity to escape
Jamesdon, she would seize the chance and run away quickly. Otherwise, she would be caught and
forced to marry Lachlan. She didn't have time to think about the consequences. Then, she whispered,
"Don't be so harsh on me. I'm not here to ruin your family but to join you."
Aidan said nothing when he heard that. There's indeed something wrong in her head. He eventually
couldn't deal with her and remarked, "Since you refuse to return to Jamesdon, there are conditions to

Charlotte knew it wouldn't be so easy and nodded eagerly. "Tell me. I'll promise anything as long as I
don't return to Jamesdon."
"Deal with your affairs, don't expect others to do it for you."
After hearing that, she tentatively asked, "W-What does that include?"
Aidan looked at her expressionlessly, "This is Highside, not Jamesdon. It includes everything without
your servants and bodyguards."
Charlotte counted on her fingers, and the more she counted, the more worried she became. After a
while, she stammered, "Oh… I see."
Then, he added, "You said earlier your card was suspended."
"T-That's right. Can you lend me some money? I'll—"
"I don't have money to lend you. Go out and find a job!"
Her face was already filled with gloom and worry upon hearing that.
Seeing her reaction, Aidan said, "If you want to come for a meal, that's fine. After you finish eating,
wash the dishes."
This is much simpler than the previous two conditions. With that thought, Charlotte immediately agreed.
A grin finally formed on her face, and she asked nervously, "I-Is there anything else?"
"If I think of anything else, I'll let you know."
To avoid Aidan thinking of something else, Charlotte immediately entered the kitchen.
Afterward, he sat on the couch, looked at the toys next to him, picked one up, held it in his hand, and
gazed at the baby crib while lost in thought.
On the other hand, Leanna was almost finished cooking the meal and was unaware of what had
happened outside. She thought Charlotte was hungry and said, "Wait a moment. Lunch will be ready
soon."
In the kitchen, Charlotte couldn't help but whisper, "Leanna, you're so kind."
Leanna was puzzled by her reaction.
