Both Aino and Minerva, who were outside the door, were stunned.
Immediately after that, they heard Ruth saying very reluctantly, "I understand."
Both Aino and Minerva then entered the main hall one after another. The main hall was packed with people and they were all the members of the Poole family. Ruth was a little uncomfortable sitting among them.
"Ruth?" Minerva called out.
Immediately after that, Aino called out. "Aunt Ruth, Aunt Jane, we're here!"
The entire Poole family was shocked when they saw Aino and Minerva come over together. Alex was particularly shocked. He immediately stood up and asked directly, "Aino! Why are you here? Who sent you here? Where are your parents?"
Aino smiled calmly. "My parents are in South City."
"Then, how did you get her?" Jane immediately stood u p and looked at Aino.
"I took the plane by myself."
Both Jane and Alex were speechless. Aino had already come to the front of Ruth. "Aunt Ruth, did you do something wrong again?"
Ruth immediately made a face at Aino.
Aino was familiar with Ruth's character. From time to time, she would make some small mistakes. The Poole family was a big family with great businesses, so it was not a big deal for Ruth to make some mistakes once in a while. Besides, Aino was a child, so it was not too appropriate for her to ask about the adults' matters. Therefore, Aino did not say anything else about that anymore, she just looked at Alex and Jane." I didn't have anyone to play with in South City. Aunt Yvonne and Uncle Marcus had gone abroad. Miss Minerva is doing her internship in Kidon City and you are all in Kidon City as well, so I came over."
She said it very casually, but that gave Jane and Alex a fright.
Alex pulled a long face. "Aino! You're getting bolder and bolder! How dare you fly to Kidon City on a plane b y yourself? Tell me, what should we do if something were to happen to you while you're on the way here? This won't do! You have to return now!"
"Isadora, try it on later when you're home and see if it fits you. I think it should fit you quite well," said Minerva.
Isadora was very grateful. "Minerva, don't buy me clothes if you don't have money. I am being paid quite well by Mister and Missus Poole every month."
"It has always been you buying clothes for me. I am only buying some once in a while, so you have to accept it. This is the pay I got from my internship. I have earned it myself," said Minerva very proudly.
"Alright!" Isadora smiled very gently. The two of them seemed like they were family.
"Isadora," Alex called out.
"Mister Poole?" Isadora asked respectfully.
Both Alex and Jane treated Isadora quite well. Although Isadora was considered as Jane's personal bodyguard, Jane had always treated Isadora as her younger sister. She had been introducing men to Isadora as she wanted to let her have a home that was safe and sound. Isadora had a sense of gratitude towards Jane and Alex from the bottom of her heart.
