Chapter 748
Chapter 748 He Won’t Agree to It
When Leanna woke up the following morning, the little guy had already woken up and was ying with
his toys.
With that, she sat up and gazed toward the couch. Sure enough, Aidan was sleeping there. One way or
the other, he had calmed down for the night.
Moving quietly, Leanna brought her little man downstairs without waking Aidan up.
Downstairs, Naomi was already making breakfast in the kitchen, and Waylen was dozing off at the
dining table.
Before heading into the kitchen to help, Leanna ced the little one in his high chair and asked Waylen
to help look after him.
"You weren''t too scared yesterday, were you?" Naomi asked, to which Leanna shook her head. "It was
a little dangerous, but fortunately, their injuries weren''t severe."
At that, Naomi sighed silently. "Be it in Highside or Jamesdon, these incidents keeping one after
another. I''m sorry you have to go through all of this."
"I''m alright…" While speaking, Leanna grabbed the scrambled egg from Naomi and whispered, "Let me
handle it… Mom."
"Careful, it''s a little hot," Naomi reminded casually, and Leanna nodded. "Okay."
With that, Naomi turned around to grab the cutlery, and it was only then she realized something was
off. She gazed at Leanna, seemingly still wrapping her head around what had just happened. "What did
you just call me?"
"Mom," Leanna said with a smile, and Naomi, too, pulled a smile after processing for a few seconds.
"When did you two get registered?"
"Just two days before we came to Jamesdon."
"When do you guys n on holding the wedding, then?"
"We''re not sure yet," Leanna said. "It might be a while before we settle on a date; the end of the year if
soonest."
"That''s good." Naomi smiled. "That''s one wish crossed. If Aidan ever bullies you, let me know."
"Thanks, Ms—Mom."
Naomi patted her shoulder. "No rush. You''ll get used to it slowly."
…
Waylen was about to head upstairs after finishing breakfast when Leanna followed behind him. "What''s
up?" he asked.
Leanna looked over her shoulder at once. Seeing Aidan ying with their little one a distance away,
she lowered her voice. "If Aidan asks you about my situation, don''t tell him. Also, don''t mention
anything about cord blood either."
"Why?" Waylen asked, baffled.
"He won''t agree to it if he knows."
At that, Waylen leaned against the railing and mulled over it for a moment before agreeing. "Got it. I''ll
keep it from him."
Though the general idea of increasing their chances of conceiving another child was to heal her body, it
still wasn''t as simple as it sounded.
Leanna would have to endure many hardships during the process, and even if she was lucky enough to
conceive a child in the end, because of the medication she had to take during pre-pregnancy, she
might experience some adverse reactions during the pregnancy. It would undoubtedly be more
challenging than her previous childbirth.
"Well, let me know after you''ve prepared the medicine," Leanna said.
"Will do."
With that, Leanna turned around to leave, only for Waylen to stop her. "Yes?" she asked, turning back
around.
"Though I didn''t specifically exin how difficult the process would be, I''m sure you already have a
good idea of it by now," Waylen said. "So, I hope you''ll mull over it again…"
"There''s nothing to mull over." Leanna smiled. "I''ve already made up my mind."
Yes, it would be difficult, but she was certain it wouldn''t be harder than when she thought her boy was
gone for good.
"Understood. Wait for my call."
Thank you."
A weekter, Daphne''s show officially aired.
Despite many people doubting its sess, the show quickly climbed up the hot search rankings with
several trending topics.
One of the topics had been anticipated even before the show aired—''Tina Anderson and Daphne
Shirley finally appear together.''
To escte the buzz around the trending topic, Tina and her teamunched an extensive marketing
campaign, iming Tina outshone Daphne and appeared much better overall, as well asparing
the two in various other aspects.
On the other hand, Daphne might no longer have a team, but her poprity and fanbase remained
strong. Hence, Tina''s poprity didn''t increase much, even with the extensive marketing campaign. If
anything, most people thought Daphne obviously surpassed her in many aspects when the two stood
together.
Apart from this particr trending topic, the topics of other celebrities also fluctuated on the hot search
rankings. However, just then, a new trending topic instantly shot up to the number one spot—''Daphne
Shirley and Louis McKinney, highly attractive partners.''
The video clip that appeared after clicking on this topic was of Daphne and Louis in the first room,
working together to find clues.
The lighting and setting were just right, and the clip alone looked more like a scene from a teenage
rom than from a reality TV show.
Many fans and casual viewers clicked on the trending topic because of Daphne, but thements
were mainly about Louis.
''Good Lord! Who is this?! Did he debut recently? Gosh, he''s cute!''
''Is it me, or does he look familiar to you guys? Has he joined some other show previously?''
''I think he looks very familiar as well. But he''s probably not from another show. If he had appeared in
other shows, he''d have definitely trended at the time.''
''Stop guessing, people. I''ll solve the mystery. He''s my husband. Now, everyone can put it to rest.''
''Hahaha! Hold up… I remember now. He''s McK''s younger brother, isn''t he? I followed the gossip about
Georgina falsely using him, but there were very few pictures of him back then, so I couldn''t be sure.''
''Ladies, it is him! It''s Louis! There were rumors of Jellyfish Entertainment signing him as their talent. To
think he actually debuted!''
''If I remember correctly, he was a state valedictorian, right? Now, this is a genuine genius in the
entertainment industry. Everyone else can drop the genius act and stop embarrassing themselves.''
''I''ll say something—don''te at me, fans—I think he and Daphne are a great match. A morous
celebrity and an intelligent young man… I ship them!''
''You and I both, girl! Not only is Louis cute and gentlemanly, but he''s also a genius. Now tell me a man
like him isn''t far better than Theodore Frost. I''ll be smiling even in my dreams if Daphne is really seeing
him.''
After the trending topic of Daphne and Louis surged to the top, it remained firmly in the number one
spot and showed no signs of declining. With that, discussions about Tina and Daphne were gradually
overshadowed.
That said, the viewership ratings of the show skyrocketed, and the reviews became increasingly
optimistic, while those who had previously criticized the show seemed to have vanished as if they
never appeared.
Meanwhile, Louis'' social media ount, which Jellyfish Entertainment had registered for him, gained
an explosion of followers, skyrocketing from a few thousand to over a million before the day''s evening.

Louis'' manager even called him, asking him to post something on Twitter and interact with the fans. It''d
be fine even if he just posted a selfie.
At that, Louis flipped through his phone album but couldn''t find anything suitable.
That said, a picture in the corner caught his attention when he was about to exit the application.
It was a candid picture Zoe took and sent to him when she and Leanna visited him during the first day
of shooting.
In the photo, amidst the bustling and chaotic filming studio, two blurry figures stood with their backs to
the camera.
Louis even forgot what he and Daphne were talking about at that time.
