Chapter 218 That Can’t Be Love In the evening, Leanna received a call from Elijah. “Leanna, I heardfrom Daniel that Louis is living with him now. What’s going on on your side? My friend told me yesterdaythat Daphne’s PR team is already dealing with it, and the impact has been minimized.” “Thank you forcalling. It’s all well on my end. Louis moved here because he was worried about me.” Today, Jonathandid not call her for any follow-up questions. It was probably because she was no longer needed. After awhile, Elijah slowly said, ” Leanna, are you free this weekend? Our company is having our annualgeneral meeting at a resort not far from Highside. I want to invite you to join us for the two-day, one-nighttrip.” Leanna pondered for a moment before nodding. “Sure.” He breathed a sigh of relief after hearingthat she agreed, and his mood seemed elevated. “All right.

Then, I’ll pick you up on Saturday morning.” As soon as she hung up, Zoe immediately came over andasked excitedly, “How is it? How is it? Is Elijah asking you out on a date?” Hearing this, Louis, who wasnext to her, also turned to look over. Leanna was speechless. Do they need to have such a big reaction?“It’s not a date,” she answered. “It’s his company’s annual general meeting, and he invited me to attendit.” “What else can it be if it’s not a date?” Zoe retaliated as she chomped away on her chips. “You mustbe going to this event as his girlfriend. Even if you’re not his girlfriend yet, everyone will suspect thatthere is something going on and he’s just waiting for the right time to take things to the next level.”Hearing this, Leanna pursed her lips and said nothing. As for Louis, he retracted his gaze and continuedto flip through the book in his hand. “I have no comment on this.” Zoe immediately followed suit andraised her hands in agreement. “I have no comment as well.” Leanna really didn’t know what to do withthese two. “I’m still a little dizzy. I’m going to go to bed.”

Once she returned to her bedroom, she laid her head on the table as she fiddled with the ornaments infront of her with her fingers. As a matter of fact, she had already thought about the question that Zoeasked before she even agreed to Elijah. Leanna was planning to start over, and she wanted to give him achance. Therefore, she knew what would be implied when she agreed to him. It was too late to pull back

anyway. Although it might be a difficult step to take, she had to do so if she wanted to start afresh. Shelet out a sigh before reaching out to her scribbling pad. She stared at a particular page for a long timebefore slowly tearing it off, folding it in half, and shredding it before she threw it into the trash can. This isthe end. The next day, Leanna received a call from the police station. Through the phone, she found outthat both Karen and her daughter had been found. However, Karen was found in an unconscious state inthe hospital from a car accident, and her daughter was just following her mother’s instructions. She didn’tknow anything more than what she was told to do.

Karen’s daughter was still in high school and was forced to do those things. Therefore, Leanna and Louisdid not pursue her further. After hearing the result of the police’s investigation, Zoe speculated,“Something feels off to me. It is way too coincidental for Karen to be in a car accident. I really don’tbelieve her when she says there is no one else behind all these.” “The car that ran into her has beenlooked into, and there is nothing suspicious about it. The accident happened when she was crossing theroad,” Leanna replied lightly. “Now that you said that, it is possible that it’s just an accident. Anyways, sheis a hoodlum with no regard for the law. It wouldn’t be a surprise to me if she jaywalked. Maybe it’skarma.” “I feel like this isn’t the end yet. We still need to be careful in the future,” Louis chimed in. Oncethis topic had passed, Zoe asked again, “Nana, it’s Saturday tomorrow. Have you thought of what towear?” This confused Leanna. “Do I have to plan out what to wear?” “Of course!” Zoe slapped her thigh.“Annual meetings like these are the time when women would try to parade around to seduce the men.What’s more, Elijah is so young and elegant, handsome and wealthy.

He’s basically like a honeypot to the bees. Although you are very beautiful without dressing up, at timeslike these, you need to step up your game and guard your man!” With that, Zoe pushed Leanna into herroom and began choosing some clothes. In the end, Zoe was still somewhat dissatisfied with herchoices. “These aren’t sexy enough. Let’s go out and buy some more.” Leanna hastened to hold Zoeback. “Enough, enough. I think these are good enough. Besides, it’s too late now. The mall is alreadyclosed.” Hearing this, Zoe sighed. “Oh well, we have no other choices then. Thank God that you have agood body; you’ll even look good in a sack.” Leanna scratched her head. “I might not be back until the

night after tomorrow. If you’re bored at home on the weekends, why don’t you come with me?” Afterthinking about it for the past two days, she was starting to feel a little embarrassed to go alone. However,she had already promised Elijah, and it wasn’t easy to go back on it. “Are you kidding me? I’m not goingto be a third wheel. I’m going to a bar this weekend to see if there are any handsome guys. Don’t lookdown on me. I might not be back tomorrow night as well.” Leanna really didn’t know what to do with herbest friend at this point. Then, Zoe yawned. “I’m going back to my room. You should get your beautysleep soon.

That way, you can blow Elijah’s mind tomorrow.” “I’m not a bomb.” Leanna smiled. “You’re more mind-blowing than a bomb.” “All right now, enough. You’ve gone too far.” After Zoe left for bed, Leanna wentout of her bedroom. In the living room, Louis was packing his things. Leanna poured a glass of water andwalked over. “Louis, are you leaving already?” Louis nodded. “It’s getting late.” “All right. Go to sleep.”After Louis walked to the door, he turned back and stood in front of Leanna. He seemed hesitant beforehe asked, “Have you made up your mind?” She didn’t understand what he meant as she put down herglass and questioned, “Made up my mind for what?” “To be with Elijah.” After a few seconds, sheanswered with a faint smile, “I’m not deciding to be with him. I just want to see how we get along witheach other. If we’re a suitable match, maybe we will get together. Otherwise, we can move on—” “Do youlike him?” Louis interjected with a slight frown. Her mouth opened, but no words came out. After a while,she finally said, “Louis, relationships aren’t that easy. Just because you like someone, it doesn’t meanyou can be together. If the two of you are fitting for each other, feelings will gradually develop.” “Thatcan’t be love, can it?” Hearing this, she immediately lowered her head. She picked up her glass andgripped it quietly. Then, he added, “Although I hope you meet someone who treats you kindly, I still hopethat you’d be with someone you like and not necessarily Elijah.” “Louis…” “Do you still like Aidan?” Heinterrupted her again. “It’s late. Go home and sleep,” she answered slowly.
