Chapter 214 Words of Apology Lack Sincerity Maybe it was Aidan’s unrelenting pressure that pushedLeanna toward Elijah. Thus, he had to change his game plan. Oscar snickered. “Then… good luck.”Aidan glanced at him in displeasure. “Is that how you look like when you’re wishing someone goodluck?” Oscar wanted to roll his eyes. “I think your new method doesn’t work either, Aidan. And it boilsdown to you not knowing how a woman thinks.” “But I know what Leanna is thinking,” Aidan replied.Well, he does have a point, Oscar thought. … Leanna came out of the stall and got some tissues towipe her hand. She was just about to leave the washroom when someone brushed past her. Then, sheheard a woman’s voice calling out behind her, “Leanna McKinney?” She stopped in her track andturned around. Maya was startled at first, but she soon crossed her arms and eyed Leanna imperiously.“What are you doing here? Did you come with Elijah Parker?” “No.” “How odd then.

This is an expensive place. Don’t tell me you’re here with friends.” Maya’s derisive tone made it clearthat she turned her nose up at Leanna. “It has nothing to do with you,” Leanna responded calmly. Mayadidn’t expect her to respond like that. Her expression shifted, and she scoffed, “I was just remindingyou out of the kindness of my heart. Perhaps you didn’t know, but the alcohol here starts at four figures.I’m worried that all your hard-earned money would be wasted in one night. After all, people in theservice industry like you have a hard time making money.” “So, after saying all that, what you mean isyou’ll treat me to a drink tonight?” Maya gulped. She couldn’t think of anything to say in response. Herhusband had a gathering with his friends here tonight. She had to plead with him for ages before herelented and allowed her to come along with him. She had barely squeezed her way into this place, soshe was in no position to buy a drink for Leanna. Leanna noticed her reaction and chuckled. “Just focuson yourself. Don’t butt your nose into other people’s business.”

She was about to leave when Maya spoke up again. “Leanna, you’re a divorcee, right? One of myhusband’s colleagues just got a divorce too. I think you two would make a good match. Why don’t Iintroduce you to him?” Before Leanna could respond, Maya continued, “People should learn to moveon in life. You didn’t meet someone good. That’s why your marriage failed. I looked into the guy for you

this time. Although he has two kids, he’s a decent and honest man. Most importantly, he dotes on hiswife a lot, and his salary’s not too shabby either. Once you get together with him, you’ll just need tostay home and look after the kids. Doesn’t he sound great? I wouldn’t introduce him to just anyone, youknow.” “Since he’s so great, you can have him.” “Why, you—” Leanna didn’t bother to stick around forher. She threw the tissue in the trash can and left. Maya stomped her feet in fury. She saw no reasonfor a divorcee to still strut about so arrogantly. Does she still think she’s the star of the school thateveryone looked up to back then? When Leanna returned to the room, she noticed that everyone elsehad left. Aidan was sitting alone on the couch, drinking his alcohol. It looked like he had drunk quite alot by now. “Is it over, President Pearson?” she asked.

He looked up at her. “Why don’t you just come back tomorrow instead?” She pressed her lips togetherand retrieved her purse. “Since it’s over, I’ll take my leave then.” “Come here.” She didn’t move. “Didyou still need something, President Pearson?” “Sit down,” he stated plainly. After a pause, Leanna satdown three feet away from him. Aidan shoved a glass toward her. “Try this.” “No thanks. I’m notdrinking any alcohol,” she said. “It’s sweet, and it has a low percentage of alcohol content.” She lookedat him warily—she didn’t trust him very much. “If I wanted to do something to you, would I need tocome up with an excuse?” Aidan asked. B*stard. Though, he did have a point. The b*stard was prettycold to her today. Maybe it was just as he said. His patience ran out. Leanna picked up the glass andtook a sip. She licked her lips after. It was quite sweet. And then, she finished the whole glass.

However, as soon as she set it down, Aidan pushed another one over. She was less inclined tocooperate this time. Isn’t he pushing it a bit? “As I said, if you have something to ask of someone else,you should act like it. To prevent you from turning around and lashing out at me in the future, and toprevent you from owing me another favor, let’s settle things now,” he stated coolly. Leanna took a deepbreath. Fine. She downed several more glasses in a row and felt like she needed to use the washroomagain. However, she didn’t expect the room to start spinning as soon as she tried to stand. Her headwas heavy. She felt dizzy and sank back down onto the couch. Her pretty eyes flickered as she staredblankly in front of her. Aidan rested his hand against the table and propped his head up to stare at her.

It was as if he had been waiting for this to happen. His eyebrows quirked up, and he called out softly,“Leanna.” She turned toward him with a clueless expression. “Do you still remember who I am?” heasked calmly. Leanna paused a bit before answering, “I’m drunk, not daft.” “Is that so?” She took herpurse and tried to stand again, but she couldn’t move at all. Just as she finally managed to stand upwith the help of the table, someone grabbed her wrist, and with a slight pull, she crashed right backdown. This time, she didn’t fall onto the couch. Instead, she fell into his lap. She tried to shove himaway, but her body was limp, and it looked like she was just being coy instead. Aidan placed his handson her waist. It was a piece of cake for him to stop her from moving about. “Leanna, I’m going to askyou one more time. Who am I?”

She stared at the hateful face in front of her. As her thoughts grew hazy, she acted on instinct. Shesmacked him in the face and sniffled aggrievedly. “The b*stard!” Aidan didn’t expect that. He took herhand down and held it tight. “Take a closer look. I’m your husband.” “You’re not. I’m divorced.” “No.You’ve got it wrong.” Leanna looked even more confused after hearing that. Not divorced? How’s thatpossible? She clearly remembered that she had gotten one. Aidan continued, “It’s our first anniversarytoday. You were so happy that you ended up drinking too much.” He sounded certain, and her headwas spinning, so she ended up caught in his web of lies. “Leanna, it’s our wedding anniversary today.

Don’t you have a gift for me?” “Oh…” She looked around and felt her pockets before lowering her head.“I’m sorry. I forgot.” “A word of apology isn’t sincere enough,” he said. She looked up at him andhesitated for a moment. When she was sure that he didn’t look repulsed by her, she gave him atentative peck on the lips. “How about this?”
