Chapter 559


    Aidan’s ck eyes bore down at Leanna as henguidly said, “My birthday wish is for you to always be


    by my side on this day.”


    Her first reaction was to tell him that birthday wishes wouldn’t work if spoken aloud, but she restrained


    herself because she didn’t want to ruin the mood.


    When she got up to get ready to leave, he gave her another passionate kiss. His kiss was intense, but


    she was unprepared for it and could hardly breathe. A few secondster, he let go of her lips and gave


    her a chance to catch her breath, but the lust building in his dark eyes was undeniable.


    However, when Aidan made another attempt to kiss her, Leanna quickly covered his mouth. Then, with


    cheeks ame, she demanded loudly, “Go home!” I’m unsure if there are cameras in the room, which


    is… utterly humiliating.


    He smirked and leaned down to whisper to her, “Can I do anything I want to you when we get home?”


    She ignored his question and swiftly got away from him. After straightening her clothes, she grabbed


    her bag and stomped out of the room. With one hand in his pocket, he calmly strolled behind her.


    It was nearly 1.00AM by the time they returned to Castor Vi.


    As she reeked of alcohol, Leanna immediately grabbed a change of clothes and headed into the


    bathroom. She was already undressed when the bathroom door opened.


    Aidan leaned against the door frame with a cloth hooked onto his fingers’ end. “You forgot something.”


    She turned to nkly stare at him, speechless. This b*stard! So, she grabbed a towel and flung it at


    him, but he easily dodged it.


    Then, he strode into the bathroom and said, “No need to be so polite with me.”


    The room was soon filled with steamy fog as heavy, needy panting echoed within. Trapped in a corner,


    Leanna was his to do with as Aidan pleased. When they left the bathroom, she still felt as if she was


    covered in sweat as she sprawled out on the bed, too tired to move.


    He leaned in and bit her ear. “Where’s my birthday present?”


    Finding his nibbling itchy, she tried to duck away from him but failed. “I haven’t found the right present


    yet. What do you want?”


    “What do I want? Well, there’s a lot I can name.”


    Those words gave her a bad feeling, so she turned around to shove at his chest. “D-Don’t say


    anything. Let me think.”


    Suddenly, Aidan pinned Leanna on the bed, trapping her between his arms as he peered down at her


    with his eyes partially closed. “Do you want a child?”


    Aidan’s ck eyes bore down at Leanna as henguidly


    She froze in shock, unable toprehend why he was bringing up that topic again.

    After a few moments of silence, she replied, “The doctor said it isn’t likely for us.”


    “Opportunities are given to those who prepare.”


    That rendered her speechless. Moreover, she was even ready to curse him to say about him if today


    wasn’t his birthday.


    A smile hung in the corners of his dark eyes as Aidan gently kissed Leanna on the forehead. “Didn’t I


    say I’ll work hard? As long as you want one, we can always have a child.”


    “Do you want one?” she asked with pursed lips. “If you do, I’ll head to the hospital tomorrow and ask


    about appropriate treatments. Be it medication or injections, I will do it. If we can’t have one, you should


    find someone else.”


    He was shocked upon hearing that. “What are you thinking about?” he huffed. “That’s not what I


    meant.”


    “What did you mean by that, then?”


    “Children wille naturally. The more you look forward to it, the less likely it will happen. Conversely,


    happy idents will always happen if you do not expect too much. Perhaps, you might get pregnant


    one day.”


    “That’s quite a badparison,” Leanna said, sighing.


    “Am I wrong?” Aidan asked with a raised eyebrow.


    “No, no. You’repletely right.” She wiggled, trying


    Suddenly, he grabbed her wrists. “Since I’m right, shouldn’t you do something?”


    By now, she could no longer bother to expose


    “We’ve already done it twice tonight. I—”


    Before she could finish speaking, she was cut off by a kiss.


    By the time they were done, it was already deep sleep.


    After tucking her in, Aidan grabbed his phone and exited the bedroom. He lit up a cigarette and called


    Keaton. “Well?”


    “He’s still not talking.”


    Aidan scoffed. “Ignore him. Keep a close eye on the Pearson Family Estate. Since he has vanished,


    the old man will surely notice it. Perhaps, they might move somewhere else. As soon as they make a


    move, tell me.”


    “Yes.” Keaton paused. “Oh, President Pearson, we have news of that streamer. Her friend said she


    frequently met up with a guy before leaving Highside. I’ve looked into the surveince footage of a cafe


    they visited. The man is Nate Davis, a man from Jamesdon. He arrived at Highside three months ago


    and works in the alcohol and tobo industry. However—”


    “What?”


    “However, everything we can find out about him is fake. I’ve tracked his movements, and he vanished


    after arriving at Jamesdon. That means that detail is likely true.”


    Aidan narrowed his eyes before slowlymenting, “Everything now points to Jamesdon. How


    interesting!”


    “As for Jamesdon, since Old Mr. Woodley passed away from illness, the heir, L, has been in


    charge. They have no cause or motivation to go through all that effort to mess around in Highside.”


    “I don’t care if they are connected to this. Since someone wants me to go to Jamesdon, we’ll seize the


    chance to find the truth.”


    “President Pearson, I’ve heard that L is a vicious man who has never been seen before. If you


    go there unprepared, would—”


    “No rush,” Aidan said, flicking the ash off his cigarette. “I’ll go after we finish the issue over here.”


    Keaton instantly understood what he meant. “I’ll have someone handle it now.”


    Aidan let out a hum. “Don’t let anyone notice.”


    After hanging up, he stared out into the night sky. His cold face was stuck in an emotionless look that


    did not betray his thoughts.


    All these years, except when he was eliminating the spies the Pearsons had nted around him, he


    had focused solely on hispany’s international expansion.


    However, Jamesdon was far from Highside, and the Woodleys were the rulers. He had also never once


    stepped foot in that entire region. Hence, when it came to L Woodley, he had only ever heard of


    him.


    Then, Aidan snuffed out his cigarette. While he was about to head back to the bedroom, he


    remembered Leanna disliked the scent of smoke. Thus, he went to the bathroom and took a shower.


    He had only gone to bed when Leanna squirmed into his arms out of habit, even though she was still


    fast asleep. He smiled upon seeing that and wrapped his arms around her. Sometimes, these habits


    are good! At least, this proves that she could not live without me.
