Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Three hourster, the flightnded in Colde of Navary.
Countless messages flooded Leanna’s phone once she had a phone signal, including one from Zoe
with screenshots of the news regarding their trip to Ietha a day ago.
Other than that, Zoe sent her a series of continuous messages, asking whether she had fun in Ietha.
Leanna exined to Zoe that she and Aidan were only catching a connecting flight at Ietha instead of
staying for a vacation there.
After replying to Zoe, Leanna read the other messages. Some were greetings from her friends, while
others were digging up gossip about Aidan.
None of them were worth her attention.
After replying to the messages out of politeness. she exited the app. Just when she was putting her
phone aside, she noticed a missed call from Elijah, which came in about half a day ago.
She was on a flight traveling to Ietha when he called her. Then, shended at Ietha, but she didn’t
bother to turn on her phone.
It’s been a while since we talked to each other. I wonder why he’s calling at this time.
Leanna wondered if she needed to call back, but Aidan’s words snapped her out of her hesitation.
“We’ll stay here for a night and head to Taevaia tomorrow.”
She hummed a response and locked her phone’s screen.
Aidan quietly gritted his teeth when he nced over the name on her screen. He pretended as if the
sight didn’t bother him and asked, “Many messages?”
“Kind of, but none of them are important. I have dealt with them.”
However, Aidan pressed the matter. “People who reach out to you around this time are up to no good.
You should just block them.”
At that, Leanna retorted, “You’re reading too much into it. They are just concerned about you.”
“About me?”
“Of course.”
“Then why didn’t they call me?”
Leanna found it difficult to answer his question.
Momentster, realization dawned on her that Aidan was referring to Elijah instead of her other friends
who sent her messages on WhatsApp.
She suppressed herughter before answering with a straight face, “Perhaps you should reflect on
your actions.”
Aidan only sneered without responding to her teasing.
Her smile grew wider at his reaction. Withdrawing her gaze, she turned to look at the scenery outside.
Coldenia, the thirdrgest city in Navary, was only smaller than Arcburg and Wheile. It was known
as Colde among the local Chiojanmunity. It owned the unique title of ‘Garden City of Navary’,
and also being thergest city in south Navary.
The city had a strong Dellshorian vibe, which was practically a replica of Dellshore in another country.
People who walked down the streets were surrounded by Dellshorian-style buildings.
The man, whom Aidan and Leanna met once in Ietha, delivered their luggage to the hotel before taking
his leave again.
Standing on the balcony, Leanna looked down at the streets. A few momentster, she closed her eyes
and enjoyed the breeze.
Having a vacation indeed helps lighten the mood.
Aidan put his arms around her waist from behind and rested his palms on the railings. His hot breath
tickled her ear as he murmured, “Do you like it here?”
Her eyes fluttered open. “You should’ve told me that we are visiting Navary. What’s the point of asking
me to choose a ce?”
He arched his brows in amusement. “Yes, I asked you to choose a ce, but it doesn’t contradict my
wish to show you this ce.”
“I—”
“You once told me that women like to dredge stuff up from the past. I bet you’ll roast me over and over
again for the rest of my life if I brought you to visit a ce you aren’t interested in.”
His overconfidence left her speechless.
I can’t win this debate, can I?
Aidan then said, “It was a long trip. You should go shower.”
“Let me go, then.”
“I’ll join you.”
…
The pair were greeted by the sight of the setting sun when they finally came out of the bathroom. The
distantke reflected the entire city, and the view seemed to be stretched into a blur on the shimmering
lake.
Aidan suggested, “Do you want to rest? Or are you interested in going out for a walk?”
Leanna wasn’t tired yet. B*stard dare ask me after giving me a hard time in the bathroom.
On second thought, it’s a waste to not visit the surroundings when I’m already here.
In the end, she stated, “Wait a minute. I’ll go get changed.”
The night was drawing in when the duo walked out of the hotel. The night breeze brushed at them,
making a stark contrast to the warmer daytime.
To Leanna, even the moon in the sky seemed strange as she walked down the streets in a foreign
country.
Unlike the bustling nightlife in Highside, there were very few people on Navary’s streets, which gave it a
tranquil vibe.
Even just strolling the streets was refreshing and rxing.
The pair would asionally walk past street performers ying the violins under the streetlights.
The soothing melody drifted down the endless street.
Leanna held Aidan’s hand tighter and asked in a small voice, “Have you been here before?”
“I have.”
“When?”
“Three years ago.”
It had been four years since their marriage. He came here about one year after our marriage.
Aidan exined, “I had a business trip to Arcburg at that time, and I learned about a very special ce
after that. Thus, I came here right away.”
Leanna tilted her head in interest. “What kind of special ce is it?”
“You’ll find out tomorrow.”
“So, it’s the same ce you have been waiting to show me.”
Aidan smiled at her and hummed.
His words piqued her curiosity.
What’s so special about that ce? What kind of magic does it possess that the ruthless and annoying
Aidan three years ago was willing to make a trip just to witness its specialty?
An idea urred to Leanna right after they returned to the hotel. Taking out her sketch pad, she sat on
the rug and began her design.
Her behavior drew out questions from Aidan.
He took a seat next to her. “We are on vacation, you know? Aren’t we supposed to enjoy this trip to its
fullest?”
Leanna fixed her gaze on the sketch pad as she answered, “It’s also important to catch up on your
sleep. So, go ahead.”
Aidan was speechless.
Leanna stopped giving attention to him after she answered him. She put her full attention on her draft
and was not distracted by her surroundings.
A whileter, Aidan received a call. “President Pearson, they’re here.”
Aidan hummed a response before turning to Leanna, who was still engrossed in her own world. “Meet
me in the conference room.”
Walking over to the door, he wrote down a few reminders on the sticky note before pressing it onto the
cup next to Leanna. Atst, he left the room.
After she added thest touch to her draft, Leanna rose to her feet and stretched her body. She
grabbed her cup to drink the water and finally saw the sticky note stating, ‘I have to go out for a while,
but I’ll be back soon. Call for room service if you need dinner.’
The notes reminded her that she was indeed hungry. Setting the note aside, she called for room
service. After that, she lounged on the couch and unlocked her phone.
The incident of Aidan leaving the Pearson Group continued to spread over thest two days online.
Netizens were still clinging to this matter. Some even shared their theories regarding thepany’s
future trends. They concluded that the Pearson Group was likely to go down without Aidan’s lead.
As expected, others had different theories than this. They began by exining that the Pearson Group
became what it was today based on generations of hard work. Thus, Aidan was only taking advantage
of his high starting point. Therefore, he couldn’t count as someone essential to the Pearson Group.
Among those whocked faith in Aidan, many agreed that the man’s identity as an illegitimate child
somehow affected thepany’s image. Therefore, removing him from his position would do the
company well.
