Chapter 41
Chapter 41 It Only Makes One Feel Disgusted His long legs carried him away after the sentence.
Georgina froze for a long time before she responded. Did he mean topare her to Anna?
Georgina’s face turned pale as she bit into her lower lip. He was the one who didn’t want to marry
Leanna three years ago.
What was the difference between Leanna, who coerced him into marrying despite the fact that she was
expecting, and Anna, who coerced Zayn into marrying her by means of an alliance? Why should they
bepared to her? …… Leanna finally found a decent room, but thendlord said the contract
couldn’t be signed until the next day, so she had to stay another night in the hotel. She had to return to
Zoe’s ce to grab a change of clothes, wash her clothes, and pack her suitcase at the same time.
Zoe was hesitant as Leanna pulled her luggage behind her. “Why don’t you continue to live here,
Nana? There is an additional room. I’ve already talked to Anthony about it, and he is not against it.”
Leanna replied with a smile, “What are you thinking about? You are both so loving with one another,
and I don’t want to be an eyesore for the two of you.” “But you’re alone and pregnant—” “Don’t worry, I
still have Louis. I’ll be fine.” Knowing that Leanna already made up her mind, Zoe sighed and said, “I’ll
send you to the hotel, then. You have so much stuff and it’s difficult to carry them alone.” Leanna
nodded. “Okay.” When they arrived at the hotel, Zoe plopped into the bed and rolled around while
hugging the nket. “It’s sofy. I should just stay a night here with you.” While unpacking, Leanna
said, “If you stay for the night, Anthony will probablye and pick you up.” Her words made Zoe
blush a little. “After his return this time, it’s as though he’s a changed man, and he’s very clingy to me,
just like a sticky candy.” “Well, you haven’t seen each other for almost a year.” Pausing, Leanna then
asked, “You guys are probably going to get registered now that he’s back, right?”
A shy Zoe nodded. “I’ve been looking at wedding dresses and venues today, and I’m just waiting for his
proposal.” After saying that, it suddenly struck her that she seemed to have said something
inappropriate. Back when Leanna married that jerk, they only signed the registration papers without
any other formalities;there was not even an exchange of wedding rings. However, Leanna didn’t have
much reaction to that and merely chuckled as she said, “At that time when you’re getting married, I’ll
design all your jewelry for you.
” Throwing herself at her, Zoe hugged her tightly. “My dear Nana, I love you so much!” “Alright, alright.
Go home quickly, or Anthony will be worried if he can’t find you at home.” “Okay, you take care, then.
Don’t forget to lock the doors properly before going to bed at night.” “Alright, be safe on your way
home.” After getting out of the hotel, Zoe received a text from Anthony just a few seconds after she got
into the car. ‘I’m sorry, baby, but I can’t be home tonight to apany you because of a business
dinner. Rest early for the night, alright?’ ‘Okay. Don’t drink too much.’ As Anthony had just returned
from abroad, there were many things at work that he needed to catch up on, and he also needed to
build up a lot of connections. Without giving it any more thoughts, Zoe set her cell phone aside and
drove home.
Even though she told him to drink less, she reckoned that it would be hard to control the intake over the
dinner table. So, she had to return home to prepare some hangover cure for him when he came home,
otherwise she could have stayed behind with Leanna tonight. … After Zoe was gone, Leanna went to
the pharmacy to buy folic acid and then some snacks from the grocery. On the way back to the hotel,
she passed by a street stall selling some snacks, and she bought some, too. When she arrived at the
hotel, she noticed a ck Rolls-Royce parked outside the front door. It was that jerk’s car!
What was he doing here? She felt her goosebumps because he didn’te all the way to ask her to
repay the money, right? Surely, she thought, they had already agreed for her to return the money via
installment! Furious, she marched forward and gave the back of the car a hard kick before running
away in a hurry. Meanwhile, Aidan, who was in the car, was speechless as his hand was halfway ready
to open the car door. Literally fleeing back to her own room, Leanna then locked the door carefully and
spent ten minutes to calm herself. When she was sure that Aidan didn’t give chase, only then did she
open up her snacks from the street stall. Who would have thought that the doorbell would ring after she
had taken a bite and greeted by the sound of a girl speaking, “Miss McKinney, someone has imed
that he picked up something belonging to you and I would want to check with you.” Leanna observed
the hotel staff waiting outside her door through the peephole and debated whether or not to open it.
When the hotel staff didn’t hear a reply, she became worried that there could be an ident and
pressed the doorbell again.
“Miss McKinney, are you inside?” Letting out a sigh, Leanna pulled the door open. “I’m here.” Forget it,
I can’t hide even if I try, she thought. If Aidan was really here to ask for the money back, she couldn’t
hide from him forever. Handing her a small bag, the hotel staff asked, “Miss McKinney, please check if
this belongs to you.” Leanna opened the bag and took out a bottle with the words ‘folic acid’ written
clearly on it. After a couple of seconds, she muttered rather reluctantly, “It’s mine.” My guess was
wrong, she thought. Aidan isn’t here for the money but he purposely came here with this to humiliate
me. “Didn’t you say that it’s gastric pillsst night?”
A stoic voice belonging to a man echoed from the side, and Leanna turned her head stiffly to the
source only to see Aidan leaning against the wall next to them. His dark eyes were cold and deep as
they stared at her emotionlessly, and she chuckled dryly a couple of times. The hotel staff nced
between both of them. “Miss McKinney…” “We know each other. Thank you so much.” “Okay, I’m
going, then. If you need anything, just give a call to the receptionist, Miss McKinney.” In reply, Leanna
gave her a nod, and her heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. Lonely and powerless, she wondered
if she should tell him the truth. However, even without saying it, she already knew what the oue
would be.
As the father of the child in her womb, Aidan had the right to decide the fate of it, but she was really
incredibly reluctant. Just when she had slipped into a huge struggle, Aidan frowned, brushed past her
and went into her room. “Get me a ss of water.” Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, and when
she was out with a ss of water, he was already seated on the couch, and looking exhausted. After
she ced the ss on the coffee table in front of him, she asked cautiously, “President Pearson,
please speak your mind if you have anything to say.” Aidan picked up the ss, raised his head and
drank the water. Running his slender finger around the rim of the ss absent-mindedly, he spoke in
such a cold voice that there wasn’t a single shard of emotion, “Isn’t Zayn Bat with you tonight?” A
confused Leanna asked, “Why should he be with me?” He smirked. “That’s true. He’s busy with
another woman and doesn’t have the time to be bothered about you.”
“What exactly are you trying to say, President Pearson?” Looking at her, he asked, “Leanna McKinney,
people from the Bat Family went to visit the Pearson Family today. Do you know why?” “I don’t
know.” “I’ll tell you, then.” Getting up, he paced toward her step by step. “The person whom Zayn
Bat wants to marry is Anna. Even if you’re pregnant with his child as you wish, it will only be an
illegitimate child. Don’t you know that it only makes others feel disgusted if you use the same trick
twice?”Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
