Chapter 47


    Aidan said, "Do they look like they''re my stuff? Move them away. It annoys me just by looking at them."


    Leanna was silent for two seconds before she said, "President Pearson, I guess we''ll just have to throw


    them away if you don''t want them."

    After hearing that, he involuntarily reprimanded her after he heard her words, "Do you think I hire


    servants just for the sake of helping you take out the trash? Take them outside and throw them


    yourself!"


    As soon as she heard that, she was speechless. Then, she grumbled after a while, "But they''re too


    much. I can''t take that much."


    Even so, he was still being insensitive. "Don''t you know that you cane over every day and throw


    them away little by little?"


    Seeing that Aidan was in no way willing topromise with her, Leanna took a deep breath. "Fine. But


    I have some work on hand right now, so I hope you can be merciful and give me a few more days to


    settle this matter."


    Immediately after she spoke those words, silence took over the atmosphere surrounding them. The


    silence continued after a few seconds until Aidan reluctantly hummed through the tip of his nose.


    "Well then, I shall take my leave first. Goodbye, President Pearson."


    With that, Leanna moved her feet and walked away. However, Aidan''s voice came from behind just


    when she took a few steps forward. "Let the driver send you home."


    Hearing his voice, Leanna halted her tracks for a moment. Then, she declined his offer by saying,


    "There''s no need to be so troublesome. I''ll head outside and take a taxi by myself."


    "Didn''t you ever say that it''s unsafe for someone so loveable and gorgeous like you to walk on the


    streets alone at night?"


    The words that escaped Aidan''s lips surprised Leanna and made her unable to respond swiftly. After a


    long while, she finally reacted and let out a hollowugh. "Did I ever say so?"


    However, it was clear that Aidan wasn''t interested in continuing the conversation. Thus, he withdrew


    his gaze and ignored her.


    When Leanna noticed that, she rubbed her nose awkwardly and left.


    Once she arrived downstairs, the driver appeared in front of her just as she was about to head outside.


    "Madam, Master has asked me to send you home."


    Upon hearing the way the driver addressed her, Leanna patiently corrected, "Don''t address me as


    Madam anymore. Aidan and I have already divorced, remember?"


    Nevertheless, the driver was obviously not as tactful as Jonathan. He held himself back for a while


    before saying, "Yes… Madam."


    On her way back, Leanna leaned against the car window while holding a paper bag. Thinking about


    Aidan, she breathed out a long sigh.


    Fortunately for me, that b*stard, Aidan''s mind always functions very differently from others. When he


    saw the folic acid, he suspected that Zayn and I were trying to get me pregnant. Then, when he saw


    the baby clothes, he suspected that I wanted a child. In short, he never once suspected that I might


    actually be pregnant right now. Regardless, I''m d I managed to escape another catastrophe again


    this time.


    At the same time, Leanna also realized one thing through the lessons she learned after she faced two


    incidents. It will be hard for me to keep this a secret from Aidan. He''ll find out sooner orter if I stay


    here any longer.


    With that in mind, she wished to find Harvey and see whether she could ask for his permission to leave


    Highside after she was done with the jewelry customization order this time.


    I''m basically just designing anyway, so it''s fine for me to not go to work in the magazine unless there''s


    something major.


    Although she didn''t know how long she could hide this secret from Aidan this way, it didn''t matter much


    to her now. The most important thing now was to keep Aidan in the dark for as long as she could.


    Besides…


    At that moment, Leanna remembered Aidan''s words from tonight. He has clearly said that he didn''t


    want children, and if he ever finds out that I''m pregnant one of these days, the life of this little bean in


    my belly will certainly be in danger.


    Once she got home, Leanna sat in front of her design for a while before she took out her phone to call


    Zoe.


    As soon as the call went through, Zoe asked, "Sweetie! What''s wrong?"


    In the meantime, Leanna could sense the tinge of happiness in Zoe''s voice. Not only that, she could


    also hear the noisesing from her side of the phone.


    Holding her phone, Leanna said, "Oh, nothing much. By the way, where are you now?"


    "I''m at the amusement park. It''s rare that Anthony got off work on time and didn''t have to attend any


    social engagements today, so he decided to take me to have fun at the amusement park. Would you


    like toe over and join us?"


    Leanna declined after hearing those words. "No, it''s fine. Have fun and enjoy yourself."


    Ever since she found out that Anthony was cheating on Zoe, Leanna had always wanted to find the


    right time to tell her friend. However, as Zoe''s close friend, Leanna couldn''t bring herself to dampen


    Zoe''s spirit and ruin her mood when she was feeling so happy. For someone who had gone through a


    divorce, Leanna knew all too well the heartbreaking feeling of being betrayed by your loved ones.


    In the meantime, Zoe walked to a quiet ce as there was something that she wanted to tell Leanna.


    Covering her phone''s speaker, she whispered to Leanna. "Nana, between us, I have a hunch that


    Anthony will propose to me tonight. His behavior is just so unusual today. Oh, what should I do? Do


    you think I should just agree to his proposal right away? Or should I restrain myself and reject him?"


    Just as Leanna was about to speak, Anthony''s voice came from the other end of the phone. "Baby,


    who are you on the phone with?"
