I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 600 Who Are You?

Aidan looked at her expressionlessly. "I am married."

Charlotte clearly didn't believe him. "Then, why didn't your wife come with you?"

"She's taking care of the child."

"The more you say, the more unbelievable it is. You don't look like a married man at all. Anyway, I don't believe

you." She pulled his arm and walked forward. "Hurry up. Aren't you looking for Lachlan? He's right ahead."

Aidan pulled out his arm from her grip. His tone was cold and indifferent. "Just keep going."

Charlotte pouted but didn't say anything as she led him into a small courtyard ahead.

At the small courtyard, two black-suited bodyguards stood by the entrance.

When they saw Charlotte, they nodded and greeted, "Miss Woodley."

She had her hands behind her back. "Where is Lachlan? I need to speak with him."

"Mr. Woodley is inside. You can go in, Miss Woodley," one of the men replied. Then, he looked at Aidan, who stood

behind her. "He can only wait here."

Charlotte protested, "He is my friend. Why can't he come in with me?"

The man stated, "Miss Woodley, you know Mr. Woodley's rules. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Her expression darkened. "Then, do you know my rules?"

The two still stuck to their initial stance. "Only you can go in, Miss Woodley."

She stomped her foot in frustration. "You guys…"

Aidan looked at the time. As he was losing his patience, he walked straight in with long strides.

The two men exchanged a glance and immediately blocked Aidan's path.

Aidan paused his steps and ordered coldly, "Move aside."

"You can't go in."

He ignored them and continued forward.

The two men followed closely behind. "President Pearson… President Pearson…"

Aidan glanced at them. "Since you know who I am, you should know why I'm here."

Seeing this, Charlotte tilted her head and followed behind with a small run.

Aidan walked to the door and pushed it open but found no one inside.

Charlotte was puzzled. "Huh, didn't you guys say he was here?"

"He was here… not long ago."

"Then, where did he go?"

The two bodyguards remained silent; they were either unclear about Lachlan's whereabouts or unwilling to say.

Aidan sneered. "Is he trying to play hide-and-seek with me here?"

At that moment, his phone rang—it was Jonathan calling.

Jonathan whispered, "I've found Lachlan's whereabouts, President Pearson."

Aidan responded with a sound of agreement and hung up the phone before walking out.

Charlotte searched around the room but indeed didn't find Lachlan. Turning around, she saw that Aidan had already

disappeared in the distance. So, she ran while saying to the two subordinates, "Inform Lachlan that I've been

kidnapped, and tell him to come and save me!"

The two were rendered speechless.

This was the first time they had seen someone chasing after 'the alleged kidnapper.'

Jonathan was waiting outside, and when he saw Aidan approaching, he immediately went up to Aidan. "President

Pearson, someone saw Lachlan leave through the back door 20 minutes ago to head to a private clubhouse on

Beacon Street."

"Let's go."

Walking down the steps, Jonathan opened the car door, only to see a girl inside greeting them with a smile.

He took a step back. "President Pearson."

Looking at the scene inside, Aidan frowned and said, "Get off."

Charlotte shifted inside the car instead. "No, I want to go with you."

"I'll say it again: get out of the car."

The girl responded, "Don't you want to find Lachlan? Take me along with you. I can be your hostage. You can use

me to threaten him. It's guaranteed to work."

Jonathan whispered to Aidan, "I've checked. Her great-grandfather and the late Old Mr. Woodley were cousins. After

Old Mr. Woodley's death, her great-grandfather became one of the most influential people in the Woodley Family.

Now, there are rumors that Lachlan will marry her to consolidate his position in the Woodley Family."

Charlotte's bright smile seemed to say, Told you so.

Jonathan's voice became even lower. "Now, it's highly likely that Madam and the young master were taken away by

Lachlan's people. At the very least, if we have her in our hands, they won't act rashly."

Aidan looked at Charlotte for a moment before saying, "Take the front seat."

She reluctantly agreed and sat in the shotgun seat instead.

During the ride, she asked, "What's the matter with you guys looking for Lachlan? Can you tell me about it?"

Sitting in the back seat, Aidan closed his eyes and replied, "No."

…

At a private clubhouse on Beacon Street, it had been 10 hours since Leanna was brought here. Besides her and the

little guy, there was only one servant.

She tried to ask the servant something, but the servant seemed unable to speak and didn't answer a word.

That young man visited twice. Each time he came with different people to check on the little guy's condition and left

shortly after.

Leanna didn't have her phone, so she could only rely on the clock on the wall to tell the time.

After a while, she heard the sound of the door opening downstairs and went out to check the situation.

As soon as she went downstairs, she saw a man in a white shirt and black pants standing in the foyer. Holding a

phone in one hand, the man spoke in a cold and magnetic voice, "Got it. Don't worry about her."

Leanna looked at the man's upright figure, feeling slightly stunned.

If she hadn't known she was in Jamesdon and had been kidnapped by unidentified individuals, she would have

assumed the man standing there was Aidan.

The man hung up the phone. Turning around, he walked to the liquor cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine.

She noticed him taking out two wine glasses.

Throughout the entire process, he didn't even raise his eyes.

She wondered if he had already noticed her.

As Leanna approached, the man poured wine and pushed a glass to her.

She looked at him. "Did you order them to kidnap me?"

Sitting on the chair, the man took a sip of wine and slowly responded, "I only asked them to bring the child over, but

it appears that things didn't proceed as planned."

Leanna frowned slightly. "What do you want?"

He put down his glass and looked at her. "I'm probably just bored."

She remembered what the young man had said to her on the plane. It seemed like they didn't have any hostility

toward her.

Moreover, they intended to save the little guy.

She continued, "So, who are you?"

The man grinned as his gaze fell on the wine glass in front of him. After a few seconds, he said, "Me?"

At this moment, the door was pushed open. One of his subordinates walked in quickly. "Mr. Woodley, Aidan Pearson

is coming this way."

"He sure acts fast." The man stood up and continued to Leanna, "I'm leaving. Are you going to wait for him here or

come with me?"

Before she could answer, the servant had already taken the child downstairs.

Leanna pursed her lips slightly. It seemed that she had no choice.

She approached the servant. "Give me the child."

The servant looked at the man. Only when she saw him nodded that she handed over the child.
