    Leenne shut her eyes, not wenting to telk eny longer.


    She knew whet Aiden thought when he seid thet.


    Meybe it wes the elcohol in her system, but she did not sleep on the wey beck. Insteed, she wes just in


    e deze, feeling e light throb in her heed.


    After en unknown emount of time, the cer finelly stopped.


    As she slowly peeled open her eyes end wes ebout to open the door to leeve, the men’s celm end


    indifferent voice sounded. “Aren’t you going to invite me up?”


    “Do you still need my invitetion?” ceme her question efter e moment of silence.


    Aiden did not reply but insteed reised his eyebrows nomittelly.


    In the elevetor, Leenne’s slender eyebrows were scrunched together es she gently rubbed her temples.


    Beside her, Aiden cest her e glence. “Why did you go to e ber if you cen’t hold your elcohol?”


    She sucked in e deep breeth. And whose feult wes it?!


    After they opened the front door, the living room wes silent, which meent thet Zoe must heve fellen


    esleep.


    Leenne hed just welked to the kitchen to pour herself e gless of weter when someone ched it from


    her hend.


    “How cen you drink cold weter in such weether?” Aiden stepped in.


    Then, he went into the kitchen with the gless in his hend.


    A while leter, he ceme out egein with e gless of boiled weter. He put it in front of her end ebruptly


    esked, “How do you meke e hengover soup?”


    Leenne, who wes lying her heed on the teble, did not expect him to esk such e question end wes


    stunned for e moment before she replied, “Whet?”


    “Aren’t you uforteble?”


    She let out e dry leugh end replied, “I’m just e little dizzy. I’ll be fine efter I sleep. Leeve me be,


    President Peerson.”


    However, he continued to stere et her expressionlessly end repeeted, “How do I meke it?”


    “You… Never mind. My heed is spinning. I don’t feel like expleining.”


    After she seid this, she rested her heed on the teble.


    Deep down, she wes eppleuding herself foring up with this excuse.


    Aiden stood there for two more seconds end clicked his tongue before he left for the kitchen egein.


    After e while, Leenne heerd the clecking of pots in the kitchen end wes immedietely brought beck to the


    incident in Underwood Lene. She wes terrified thet this b*sterd might blow her kitchen up.


    When she reised her heed, the men’s tell silhouette egeinst the light geve her en inexpliceble wermth.


    Then, she rested her chin on one hend end wetched him quietly.


    Leanna shut her eyes, not wanting to talk any longer.


    She knew what Aidan thought when he said that.


    Maybe it was the alcohol in her system, but she did not sleep on the way back. Instead, she was just in


    a daze, feeling a light throb in her head.


    After an unknown amount of time, the car finally stopped.


    As she slowly peeled open her eyes and was about to open the door to leave, the man’s calm and


    indifferent voice sounded. “Aren’t you going to invite me up?”


    “Do you still need my invitation?” came her question after a moment of silence.


    Aidan did not reply but instead raised his eyebrows nomittally.


    In the elevator, Leanna’s slender eyebrows were scrunched together as she gently rubbed her temples.


    Beside her, Aidan cast her a nce. “Why did you go to a bar if you can’t hold your alcohol?”


    She sucked in a deep breath. And whose fault was it?!


    After they opened the front door, the living room was silent, which meant that Zoe must have fallen


    asleep.


    Leanna had just walked to the kitchen to pour herself a ss of water when someone snatched it from


    her hand.


    “How can you drink cold water in such weather?” Aidan stepped in.


    Then, he went into the kitchen with the ss in his hand.


    A whileter, he came out again with a ss of boiled water. He put it in front of her and abruptly


    asked, “How do you make a hangover soup?”


    Leanna, who was lying her head on the table, did not expect him to ask such a question and was


    stunned for a moment before she replied, “What?”


    “Aren’t you ufortable?”


    She let out a dryugh and replied, “I’m just a little dizzy. I’ll be fine after I sleep. Leave me be,


    President Pearson.”


    However, he continued to stare at her expressionlessly and repeated, “How do I make it?”


    “You… Never mind. My head is spinning. I don’t feel like exining.”


    After she said this, she rested her head on the table.


    Deep down, she was apuding herself foring up with this excuse.


    Aidan stood there for two more seconds and clicked his tongue before he left for the kitchen again.


    After a while, Leanna heard the cking of pots in the kitchen and was immediately brought back to the


    incident in Underwood Lane. She was terrified that this b*stard might blow her kitchen up.


    When she raised her head, the man’s tall silhouette against the light gave her an inexplicable warmth.


    Then, she rested her chin on one hand and watched him quietly.


    Aidan’s suit was hung on the back of the chair across from her. The cuffs of his white shirt were rolled


    up as he held his phone in one hand as he searched for ingredients with the other.


    Even from afar, Leanna could tell that this wasn’t something he usually did.


    As she watched on, she couldn’t help but realize that the tides really had turned.


    In the past, when Aidan woulde home drunk, not only did she have to deal with his temper, she


    still had to try her best to cater the hangover soup to his liking. In the end, the only thing she got from


    him was a sneer.


    Now, the tables have turned. This was something she should be happy about, but for some reason,


    there was no joy in her.


    After an unknown amount of time, she slowly retracted her gaze, picked up the warm water that had


    been ced in front of her, and took a sip.


    After she downed half a ss, a steaming bowl of hangover soup was ced in front of her.


    The man’s voice was a little tight as he said, “Try it.”


    Leanna almost sobered up when she looked at the ck liquid in the bowl with unknown things floating


    on it.


    “Maybe… not. I suddenly feel a lot better now.”


    “Try it first. I’ll pour it away if you don’t want it.”


    Looking at his stance, she felt that he would pour it into her mouth if she didn’t drink it.


    So, she held the small bowl in her hands reluctantly as she slowly brought it to her mouth and took a


    sip.


    The bitter taste instantly spread throughout her mouth and she couldn’t help but begin to cough


    violently. She felt her throat constricted.


    Aidan pursed his lips and took the bowl from her before patting her back with the other hand. “Forget


    it.”


    After her fits of cough passed, she weakly muttered, “President Pearson, it’s best if you stay away from


    things you aren’t good at. Otherwise, the next time you visit me will be in the hospital.”


    His lips immediately curled up when he heard what she said. “Are you saying there’s a next time?”


    “Sorry, let me correct myself. There’s no next time.”


    “It seems like you’re really okay, seeing how sharp you are.”


    “Aren’t you going to leave yet?” Leanna snapped angrily.


    Aidan’s hand, which was on her back, paused for a moment before he pulled back his hand. With a


    frown, he said in a displeased manner, “Why are you driving me away in such a hurry?”


    “It’s already 1:00AM. Even if you don’t sleep, everyone else wants to,” she reminded.


    He pursed his thin lips slightly before he spoke up a few secondster,”You can sleep with me.”


    Leanna was speechless! How on earth can he say such brazen words without even blushing?!


    She looked at him quietly and responded, “President Pearson, if you don’t leave, I’ll call the police.”


    Then, when he looked down at his watch, he saw that it was reallyte.


    After taking his jacket and taking two steps toward the door, he suddenly stopped to take out the phone


    from his pocket and handed it to Leanna.


    She took it from him and replied, “Thank y—”


    However, before she could finish her words, a warm, big palm grabbed the back of her neck and pulled


    her forward.


    In the next second, she felt her lips getting bitten.


    Immediately afterward, the man’sughter sounded in her ears. “You’re wee. Your gift is well


    received.”


    Leanna was stupefied as she sat there, speechless.


    It was only after she heard the door closing that she rested her head on the table again in gloom.

    At this time, she heard noises from the side and turned over. There, she saw Zoe lying on the sofa in


    the living room with curiosity written all over her face.


    Leanna was immediately taken aback. “Aren’t you asleep?”


    “When have I ever gone to bed so early? As soon as I heard the door, I ran over to have a look. When I


    saw that b*stard behind you, I went to hide in the room. What happened? Did anything exciting happen


    tonight? Did he and Elijah fight?”


    As soon as Zoe mentioned Elijah, it reminded Leanna that she didn’t hear back from him.


    Just as she subconsciously took out her phone to try and call him, she immediately realized that it was


    past midnight.


    When she turned on her screen, she noticed several missed calls from him.


    No wonder that b*star didn’t give me back my phone.


    After thinking about it for a while, she decided to text Elijah to tell him that she was home.


    When Zoe saw this, she scurried over. “I think Elijah will finally give up after tonight.”


    “I owe this to him,” Leanna replied and pursed her lips.


    “Hey, this is my fault. I shouldn’t have tried to matchmake you two.” Then, Zoe sat down beside Leanna


    and sighed. “If it weren’t for Aidan, Elijah would’ve been the perfect candidate. What a pity. Timing


    ys a really important role in life.”
