Chapter 351
After the man finished speaking, the child also sped Celia’s leg. “Mommy, I miss you and bro.”
Celia reacted quickly and immediately said, “I told you to leave me alone so that I can calm down, and
you should reflect on what you did wrong. Fortunately, my parents bought me a house before marriage.
Otherwise, I would have nowhere to go with the baby after a fight!”
“Yes, yes, what you said is right. It’s all my fault; it’s all my fault. I will definitely reflect on it this time and
promise not to make you angry again in the future.”
She reluctantly said, “I don’t want to talk to you. I have a guest here today, so I’ll settle the ount with
youter!”
When she was done talking, she turned her head and looked at Leanna with an embarrassed
expression. “Miss McKinney, I’m sorry to let you see all this. Um…”
Leanna said, “It doesn’t matter. I’m the one who needs to apologize.”
She took her bag and said, “Since you still have something going on, I won’t disturb you.”
Celia said, “Then, shall I send you off, Miss McKinney?”
She looked at the little boy in Celia’s arms, stretched out her hand, poked his face, and smiled. “No
need. You may carry on.”
When leaving, Leanna rubbed the head of the child next to her and turned to leave. After the door was
closed, Celia and the man who had just arrived both breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously. But the
little boy in his arms started to cry loudly. She was afraid that Leanna would hear it, so she hurriedly
carried the child into the nursery.
Leanna walked to the elevator and faintly heard a baby’s crying from behind, but it disappeared in
an instant. She was a little lost from the elevator to the outside. She also wanted to tell herself that she
had overthought, that things were not what she thought, and that she was too sensitive. But for some
reason, those details repeatedly appeared in her mind. It seemed that all her doubts had been
exined one by one, but the more so, the more uneptable it was. How could such a coincidence
happen?
She recalled that Aidan had brought her there on Christmas Day. Did Celia then quarrel with her
husband and live alone with the little boy all this while? Even if she made concessions, and this was
the case, it had been a long time since Celia lived with the little boy alone. Yet, her husband did not
come to find her all this time and only appeared the moment when Leanna visited today. This could not
possibly be a coincidence; it was as if everything was deliberately shown to her.
Sitting in the car, Leanna leaned on the driver’s seat, looked at themunity gate, and slowly
exhaled, not knowing what she was thinking. She just sat and waited for two hours, but nobody came
out. Soon, she closed her eyes, feeling a bit exhausted. She couldn’t tell whether she was overthinking
or they were hiding a deep secret, so much so that they had to do all this.
After a while, she finally gave up and drove away. After she left, the man parked in the ck car not far
away took out his phone and dialed a number. “Mr. Pearson, Miss McKinney has left.”
On the other end of the phone, Aidan hummed softly, but there was no indication of any emotion in his
tone.
“President Pearson, what should we do now?”

After a few seconds of silence, Aidan said, “Move away tonight.”
“But if we do this and if Miss McKinney finds out, I’m afraid it will be even more—”
Aidan said, “There’s no time to care so much. Move out first, and we’ll talk about what happens
afterward when I get back.”
The subordinate responded, “Okay.”
Meanwhile, in Italy, Aidan put down his phone and pinched the bridge of his nose. He was unprepared
for Leanna’s sudden suspicion and even went over to check it out herself. Fortunately, everything was
carried out on time. However, this time it wouldn’t be so easy to deceive her.
At this time, Jonathan knocked on the door and came in. “President Pearson, the meeting will start
soon.”
Aidan retracted his thoughts and asked in a low voice, “How long will the work herest?”
Jonathan looked at the itinerary. “It will take at least five more days.”
Hearing this, Aidan couldn’t help frowning. Knowing that he was worried about Leanna, Jonathan
tentatively said, “If you’re afraid that something will happen to Mrs. Pearson, I have a solution.”
Aidan looked sideways at him. “What solution?”
…
When Leanna returned to Crossley Residence, it was already veryte. However, she did not expect
Georgina to sit in the living room waiting for her. Seeing Leanna going upstairs, Georgina stopped her.
“I heard that you passed the preliminary round, Miss McKinney. Congrattions.”
Leanna wasn’t in the mood to lie to her at the moment, so she just looked at her lightly. “Are your
congrattory words so insincere, Miss Crossley?”
Georgina probably didn’t expect her to say such a thing and was stunned for a few seconds before
saying, “What do you mean?”
“Since you’re congratting me, why do youe empty-handed?”
In an instant, Georgina snorted in anger at her. “Oh, so you came with this purpose in mind.”
Leanna replied without expression, “I made it very clear early in the morning that I just want to get what
I deserve. If you don’t n to send me a gift, it’s better to withdraw your words as soon as possible.”
Without waiting for Georgina to answer, Leanna went upstairs without looking back. Georgina stood
where she was, feeling that Leanna was unprecedentedly absurd. It was the first time she had seen
someone who could confidently speak such shameless words. I really don’t know what Aidan likes
about her.
Back in the bedroom, Leanna went to the bathroom to take a hot shower, then came out andy on the
bed, not wanting to move at all. It took a long time for her phone, which had been thrown on the table,
to make a harsh vibration. She turned over and covered her head with the quilt, not wanting to pick it
up. On the other hand, the phone seemed to want to go against her, as it repeatedly rang, which was
annoying to listen to.
Leanna sat up abruptly, got up to answer the phone, and frowned. “Aren’t you going to sleep yet? It’s
sote.”
Hearing the anger in her words, Aidan took a deep pause before saying, “It’s still daytime here. Are you
asleep?”
She snorted, then sat at the end of the bed. “I was sleeping, but you woke me up.”
“Why do you sound so upset? Who made you angry?”
The moment she opened her mouth, she knew how furious she was. She hugged the pillow and said
irritably, “No, I’m just in a bad mood.”
“You’re in a bad mood for no reason?”
“Yeah.”
Aidan said in a deep and slow voice, “Are you having PMS?”
Leanna was speechless. Why is this jerk so knowledgeable?
She took a deep breath and calmed down. “No, maybe it’s because the pressure has been a little
heavy on me recently. I’ll just get some sleep.”
“Aren’t you happy to be in the next round ofpetition?”
Leanna continued, “The pressure increases because of thispetition. You won’t understand
anyway.”
“Okay, I won’t understand. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Don’t hold back and feel bad about
it.”
