Chapter 186


    Aiden’s face turned slightly sour while looking at her without saying a word.


    Leanna felt ufortable with his gaze, so she asked politely, “Could you please leave now? It’s


    gettingte now. I have to work tomorrow.”


    Aiden looked unhappy. “I don’t see that you really care for work when you were having a date with


    Elijah earlier.”


    “Work-life bnce is really important. I can’t work twenty-four seven. I need some alone time.” As


    Leanna said, she took a nce at him. “Plus, I am not that free. Unlike you, you are so free to the point


    that you could leave everything about yourpany behind. Then, go to someone’s house just to say


    some inexplicable words, and do some random stuff to mess with them.”


    He said indifferently, “I’m not idle all the time.”


    Shemented sincerely, “I genuinely hope that yourpany will always be thriving and have more


    contracts—”


    Aiden sneered. “Leanna, seriously?”


    Leanna thought to herself. Look at this, this b*stard finally showed his true face.


    The gentleness earlier was definitely just a fa?ade. Then, she said, “Those are my best wishes to you.


    You are being rude.”


    He raised his hand to pinch her chin while his ck eyes narrowed dangerously. “Who is being rude


    now?”


    Leanna glossed over it and smiled. “You have a bad hearing, too.”


    “Why are you showing me this attitude?”


    “Then, what kind of attitude should I have? I have been kind enough not to call 911 on you after you


    forcibly broke into my house.”


    Aiden gazed at her and suddenly felt amused. “You really are two-faced.”


    At this point in this, Leanna was not afraid of saying something embarrassing anymore as she was on


    the verge of losing herself. So, she pushed back. “Men also behave differently before and after having


    sex too. So, you don’t really have the right to say that I’m being two-faced.”


    He remained silent at her words.


    She continued in a sarcastic way, “Isn’t it true? President Pearson, just think about how much you


    hated me in the past three years. Even if I just touched you by ident, it would make you feel


    disgusted, but that didn’t stop you from having sex with me.”


    Aiden’s thin lips slightly moved as if Aiden wanted to exin something. However, he didn’t really know


    what to say.


    Aidan’s faca turnad slightly sour wh looking at har without saying a word.


    Laanna falt uforta with his gaza, so sha askad politaly, “Could you asaava now? It’s


    gattingta now. I hava to work tomorrow.”


    Aidan lookad unhappy. “I don’t saa that you raally cara for work whan you wara having a data with


    Elijah aarliar.”


    “Work-lifa bnca is raally important. I can’t work twanty-four savan. I naad soma alona tima.” As


    Laanna said, sha took a nca at him. “Plus, I am not that fraa. Unlika you, you ara so fraa to tha point


    that you couldava avarything about yourpany bahind. Than, go to somaona’s housa just to say


    soma inaxplica words, and do soma random stuff to mass with tham.”


    Ha said indiffarantly, “I’m not i all tha tima.”


    Shamantad sincaraly, “I ganuinaly hopa that yourpany will always ba thriving and hava mora


    contracts—”


    Aidan snaarad. “Laanna, sariously?”


    Laanna thought to harsalf. Look at this, this b*stard finally showad his trua faca.


    Tha gannass aarliar was dafinitaly just a fa?ada. Than, sha said, “Thosa ara my bast wishas to you.


    You ara baing ruda.”


    Ha raisad his hand to pinch har chin wh his ck ayas narrowad dangarously. “Who is baing ruda


    now?”


    Laanna glossad ovar it and smd. “You hava a bad haaring, too.”


    “Why ara you showing ma this attituda?”


    “Than, what kind of attituda should I hava? I hava baan kind anough not to call 911 on you aftar you


    forcibly broka into my housa.”


    Aidan gazad at har and suddanly falt amusad. “You raally ara two-facad.”


    At this point in this, Laanna was not afraid of saying somathing ambarrassing anymora as sha was on


    tha varga of losing harsalf. So, sha pushad back. “Man also bahava diffarantly bafora and aftar having


    sax too. So, you don’t raally hava tha right to say that I’m baing two-facad.”


    Ha ramainad snt at har words.


    Sha continuad in a sarcastic way, “Isn’t it trua? Prasidant Paarson, just think about how much you


    hatad ma in tha past thraa yaars. Evan if I just touchad you by idant, it would maka you faal


    disgustad, but that didn’t stop you from having sax with ma.”


    Aidan’s thin lips slightly movad as if Aidan wantad to axin somathing. Howavar, ha didn’t raally know


    what to say.


    “So, please stop saying that I’m being two-faced. Because if I’m, then you are just the same as well.”


    Leanna then thought to herself. He is the one who is being two-faced. Now, he has the nerve toe


    and use me. If he truly wants to give a person a second chance, he’s gotta at least be nice to them,


    right?


    She felt that since he always thought that she was a scheming woman, what she just said to him would


    not really change a thing.


    After a while, he responded, “You’re getting defensive.”


    She answered, “You were verbally attacking me. I was just telling the truth.”


    Aiden lowered his eyes. His gaze fell on her lips, and his Adam’s apple moved up and down slightly.


    After a few seconds, he said thoughtfully, “I have a proposal for you to deal with your anger now.”


    Before Leanna could answer, he continued, “You can be dominant in bed.”


    Leanna was puzzled as she could not wrap her head around what he just said.


    He added, “I’m alright as long as you are not mad anymore.”


    Sheughed in anger. “From your tone, it seems that you are forced to do it.”


    “No, I’m not. We can do it now.”


    Leanna took a deep breath so she would not lose herself. She tried to tug on the hand pinching her


    chin, but Aiden didn’t intend to let her go.


    Without thinking much, she lowered her head and bit his hand with all of her strength.


    Aiden groaned and hurriedly retracted his hand with a frown, after which he yelled, “Leanna!”


    She ignored him, walked to the entrance, and opened the door. “You may leave now.”


    He lowered his head, nced at the bleeding hand, and gritted his teeth. Then, he sneered. “It’s time to


    leave.”


    Leanna kept smiling and looked at him leaving the house. When passing by her, he gave her a nce.


    “I can’t afford to dy the rabies vine, after all.”


    She was speechless.


    After sending that b*stard away, she leaned against the door and slowly retracted the smile on her


    face.


    To put it bluntly, Aiden was the kind of person who would treat something he disliked as rubbish but


    would do anything to get what he wanted. However, it was unknown how long his enthusiasm and love


    couldst.


    Leanna stopped thinking about it and knocked on the other door.


    Soon, Daniel appeared before her.


    She smiled. “I’m looking for Zoe.”


    He turned his head and nced. “She’s eating. Do you want to join us?”


    “No, I will leave the door open for her. I’ll—”


    “Hold on!” Zoe ran outside with a chicken wing. “I’m done eating. Let’s go back.”

    Then, she turned and looked at him. “Thank you for your can—dinner.”


    Daniel smiled politely.


    Zoe dragged Leanna back to their house. After closing the door, Zoe asked in a low voice, “How was


    it? Did that b*stard do anything to you? I was so scared when I saw him earlier.”


    Leanna shook her head, feeling exhausted all over her body. “I’m tired. Let’s go to sleep now.”


    “Okay. Let’s talk about it tomorrow. Good night.”


    “Night.”


    …


    Two dayster, Zoe yawned while asking the person next to her, “Louis, don’t you have ss in the


    morning?”


    Louis answered, “No.”


    “Please look after her for a while. I need to take a nap now. I’m too sleepy.”


    “Alright.”


    After a while, Leanna returned from the office and was standing beside Louis to tidy up something.


    “Where’s Zoe?”


    “She’s taking a nap.”


    Hearing that, she smiled and looked at him. “Why are you here?”


    An awkward Louis looked away. “I have nothing much to do anyways.”


    “Didn’t you use your free time for part-time work? Why didn’t you go today?”


    He did not answer.


    Leanna smiled and said, “If you are here to work, I don’t have enough to pay you.”


    “I’m not here for your money.” After a pause, Louis pursed his lips and whispered, “There’s no news.”


    “You came here just for this?”


    Louis frowned. “The newspaper asked me if I wanted to continue the publication of the notice. So, I’m


    here to ask you about it.”


    The wanted poster had been out for some time and the newspapers did their part by spreading the


    news to the whole town.


    It seemed hopeless after all.


    Leanna said, “Nah. You don’t have to waste your money on that. You should save the money up and go


    on some dates sometimes.”


    He remained silent.
