Chapter 322
When Leanna woke up, she felt as if someone had beaten her up. Her body was sore and aching all
over, especially her waist and legs.
That b*stard!
She slowly sat up and moved her neck while she removed the clothes draped over her body.
Aidan wasn’t in the car, and Leanna didn’t know where he had gone.
She rolled down the windows. Due to the rainst night, the seawater at this moment was crystal clear,
and the air also freshened up quite a bit.
She took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling that her exhausted body had rxed considerably.
Just then, Aidan walked over from a distance.
Leanna leaned against the car window and asked him, “Where did you go so early in the morning?”
“Checking out if there’s anything to eat nearby.”
She narrowed her eyes a little. “We haven’t finished the food fromst night, have we?”
He said, “They got soaked in the rain, so we can’t eat those.”
Leanna fell silent.
Naturally, she knew why the rain had soaked their food.
Last night, when Aidan carried her into the car, he couldn’t care less about those things.
She retracted her head inside the car. “Let’s go back, then.”
On the way back, she fell asleep again.
When they arrived at the ground floor of themunity, Aidan saw that she was deep in slumber, so
he didn’t wake her up. He opened the car door and lifted her out right away.
He had just taken a few steps when Leanna woke up. She said, “Just put me down.”
Aidan countered, “You said your legs hurt, didn’t you?”
Leanna was speechless.
During theter half ofst night, she just wanted everything to end sooner. She had no idea how many
embarrassing things she had said to achieve that effect.
It was the rush hour for office-goers then, so themunity was bustling along with elderly people who
came out for their morning exercise.
Leanna felt extremely embarrassed, and under her fierce insistence, Aidan finally relented and put her
down.
With every step she took, Leanna’s desire to murder Aidan increased.
People kept passing by her, and perhaps because of the guilty conscience, she had to put in all her
effort to maintain a normal posture so that no one would notice anything odd.
After painstakingly getting into the elevator, she had just let out a sigh of relief when Daniel appeared in
front of them before the elevator doors were about to close.
Leanna was speechless.
Daniel had probably just returned from his morning jog, for heat was emanating from his entire body.
He smiled as he greeted them. “Hi there, President Pearson and Miss McKinney. Quite early today,
aren’t we?”
Leanna forced a smile as she replied, “Y-Yes, we went out for breakfast.”
Ever since he got into the elevator, he wanted to initiate a conversation with her a few times, but a
certain man’s cold re always stopped him.
After the arduous journey back home, Leanna immediately grabbed a change of clothes and dashed
into the bathroom.
By the time she had finished showering and emerged from the bathroom, breakfast had already been
spread out on the dining table.
From the looks of it, the hardworking young man named Jonathan had been here again.
Aidan said, “What are you standing around for? You’ve beenining of hunger sincest night,
haven’t you?”
Leanna didn’t reply.
She decided to ignore him as she sat at the dining table.
He pushed a ss of warm milk toward her. Seeing how listless she was, he said slowly, “Go back to
sleep after eating.”
Leanna picked up the ss of milk and threw her head back, guzzling down a good portion of it. Then,
she gasped and said, “I’m not going back to sleep. I have a studio to go to.”
Aidan eyed her from head to toe. “But you’re hurting all over, aren’t you?”
“Just shut up.”
Leanna took the ss and downed the rest of the milk. Then, she got up and grabbed her bag, ready
to leave.
Aidan stopped her. “Eat something before you go.”
She looked at the time. “No, thanks. I have to find a manufacturer this morning. If I don’t make it in time
—”
She hadn’t even finished speaking when he stuffed a sandwich into her mouth. “Eating won’t take
much of your time. I’ll give you a ride after breakfast.”
Leanna chewed the food in her mouth, her cheeks puffing up. She swallowed before saying, “You have
to go to work today too, right?”
“I don’t feel like going.”
These days, Gordon kept bringing people to thepany. Instead of taking time to deal with them,
Aidan decided not to meet them at all.
Leanna pouted. “Must be nice to be you, President Pearson. You don’t have to you can just skip work
whenever you don’t feel like it. As for a small studio like ours, I—”
Aidan interrupted her. “You can do the same if you be Mrs. Pearson.”
Leanna stopped talking and lowered her head to munch on the sandwich.
Even though everyone called her Mrs. Pearson at the club yesterday, and she didn’t have the chance
to retort, in the end, she was still just Aidan’s girlfriend.
Their rtionship, which consisted of just the two of them, was just right.
As soon as family was involved, it wouldplicate a lot of things.
No matter what, Sienna would always be her enemy.
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
Noticing her reluctance to answer, Aidan didn’t continue talking about it either. He simply said, “Let’s
go. I’ll give you a ride.”
Leanna replied, “It’s okay, the studio is close by, so I can just walk there. You just go on with your
business.”
With that, she changed into her shoes and hurriedly ran out.
Aidan gazed at her silhouette, raising an eyebrow.
…
Once at the studio, Leanna printed out the designs she hadpleted, then stuffed it into her bag and
went to look for a manufacturer.
There were a lot of details she needed tomunicate with the craftsmen, and Leanna basically spent
the entire morning at the factory.
By the time she returned to the studio, it was already afternoon.
Louis hade over as well.
Leanna retrieved two sses of water from the fridge, then went into the office with Louis. She passed
a ss to him, asking, “When did you arrive?”
“Not long ago.”
Leanna sat in her seat, then asked, “Have you been busy with your studiestely? I feel like you
haven’t been here in a while.”
Hearing that, he fell silent and didn’t answer.
She originally meant for it to be a casual question, but when she saw his behavior, she felt that
something was off as she asked tentatively, “Did you fall in love?”
As Leanna’s voice fell away, Louis’ ears were tinted a slight red, and he averted his gaze unnaturally.
He resolutely said, “No.”
Seeing that, Leanna slightly curved her lips into a smile.
She had watched him growing up, so his behavior right now was simply too obvious.
She hummed in response. “So that means there’s a girl you like.”
Louis didn’t answer.
Leanna couldn’t help but ask nosily, “Is she in the same school? Or is she studying somewhere else?
You haven’t won her heart, have you? Shall I help you?”
A long whileter, Louis finally answered, “No, I have no intentions of pursuing her. I—”
He didn’t know how to put it.
She decided to give up on bothering him, so she changed the subject and said, “Alright, I won’t tease
you anymore. I have something to tell you.”
“Go ahead.”
Leanna pursed her lips and said slowly, “Zoe and I… have decided to move somewhere else and rent
another house elsewhere.”
Louis wasn’t surprised to hear that. “For her, it’s because of Daniel, right?”
She nodded. “Yes—”
Before she could finish speaking, he continued, “And for you, it’s because of Aidan.”
Leanna fell silent.
He continued, “Where are you moving to? His house?”
