Chapter 235

Leanna rose from his lap and she bent over slightly to press the ice pack against the side of his facewhere a faint slap mark still remained.

Aidan placed his hand on his knee, his long finger tapping lightly as he gazed quietly at her with hisdark eyes.

Annoyed by his gaze, Leanna piped up, "President Pearson, can you just close your eyes?"

"You've been stealing glances at me for so long in the car, so why didn't you close your eyes then?"

She fell silent.

This b*stard is so annoying.

As such, she applied more pressure on purpose as she pinned the ice pack to his face.

Aidan's expression changed a little. Just as he was about to get mad, Leanna quickly retracted herhand. "This should be enough. It's getting late, so you should rest early, President Pearson. I'm goingback to my room."

She had just turned around when her wrist was grabbed once again.

"You're leaving just like that?" Aidan seemed a little dissatisfied.

"What else am I supposed to do here? Stay for supper?"

"That can do," he said as he grabbed his phone from the couch. Just as he was about to dial a number,she hastily stopped him. "I'm just joking! Joking!"

This lowlife really does the most outrageous things.

The man pushed the wineglass on the coffee table in her direction. "Have a drink?"

Leanna sneered, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."

"Well, let's just say that I overestimated your alcohol tolerance."

She could not care less about him as she removed her hand from his palm. "I have to wake up earlytomorrow. Enjoy yourself, President Pearson."

With that, she walked to the entrance of the room right away.

Looking at her figure, Aidan then picked up the whiskey and leaned back against the couch with a faintcurve on his thin lips.

Once she headed back into her room, Leanna noticed a message from Zoe asking if she had arrived. Itwas only then that she realized she forgot to update her status after the fiasco at the airport.

As a result, she decided to call Zoe up. After chatting for a bit, Zoe noticed that Leanna sounded a littlehesitant, so she asked tentatively, "Don't tell me you met Aidan there again?"

Leanna was silent.

Why is her guess always so accurate?

Zoe was already used to this by now. She asked, "What excuse did that b*stard give this time?"

Leanna shook her head. "He really didn't follow me here. At least not this time." After pausing for a bit,she continued, "I met Anna as well."

Zoe could not help but be a little shocked when she heard that. "What's her business there?"

When Leanna and Elijah went to Mr. Jackson's house, they heard Anna's parents mention that Annawas grounded at the Pearson Family Estate.

Jonathan also told her that Aidan knew their first child was gone because of Anna.

The Pearson Family and the Zielinski Family might have been worried that Aidan would exact revengeon Anna, so they did everything they could to send her away.

However, no one would have expected that they would encounter each other in Weavside.

Perhaps this is fated.

Aidan came along to Weavside probably because he received news that Anna would be leaving.

Zoe asked, "How does that lowlife intend to punish Anna?"

"I didn't ask."

"Still, no matter what, that crazy Anna is getting what she deserves. She deserves whatever horriblefate that awaits her." After that, she stopped talking about the depressing matters and changed thesubject. "Where are you staying tonight? Aren't you supposed to stay with your aunt?"

"It's gotten too late, so I'm staying at a hotel instead," replied Leanna.

After a few more exchanges, the call ended.

She took a change of clothes into the bathroom. After showering and getting out, she suddenly noticeda small tear on her lip as she was drying her hair and a scab had formed.

She went nearer to the mirror to have a closer look, only to replace bite marks near the injury.

Amazing. I don't even have to think to know when that happened.

Suddenly, she felt that the slap was indeed too light.

…

The next morning, Leanna took her breakfast and went downstairs. As she was about to hail a ride toUnderwood Lane, she realized that Jonathan was already waiting there with a smile on his face.

Also, in the backseats of the Maserati sat the man named Aidan.

Jonathan began babbling, "Miss McKinney, it's the morning rush hour right now, so it's not easy to haila ride. We're heading to the same destination as you, so you can hop in and join us."

Leanna feigned ignorance. "Are you going to the airport as well? I thought you're here on officialbusiness. Are you leaving so soon?"

Jonathan was speechless.

At that moment, Aidan rolled down the car window and glanced at her indifferently before speaking theconcise words, "Get in the car."

Pouting, Leanna pondered about it, Since we are heading to the same place anyway, the b*stard mightcomplain to Naomi about me if I was to hail my own cab.

At that thought, she could only open the car door and enter the vehicle.

Seeing that, Jonathan secretly sighed in relief. At crucial times like this, it really came down to Aidanhimself to make things work.

The car drove along the road and Leanna stuck to the window to watch the scenery outside.

Compared to Highside, a small town like Weavside had its unique beauty, be it in fall or winter. Snowwas hanging on the branches, and when a breeze picked up sometimes, snowflakes would scatter andfall like cotton.

In a relaxed and leisurely town like this, the morning rush hour Jonathan spoke of was nonexistent. Notlong after, the car slowly drove into Underwood Lane.

The creek in the middle of the lane was already frozen and most of the residents had moved out. Theentrance of the community hall was also desolately open as the entire street looked lonely; a starkcontrast to the liveliness she witnessed when she first moved here.

She stared at the scenery in a daze, then turned around and asked, "President Pearson, when is thisplace getting taken down?"

"In May."

Leanna thought that it would be taken down after the new year, so she did not expect there would be afew more months to go.

Still, it was not a bad idea. When work at the studio died down after a while, she wanted to come herefor a vacation with Zoe and Louis.

Soon, the car pulled up at the entrance of Naomi's house.

As Leanna walked to the door, she suddenly noticed Aidan standing by the car, seeming as if he hadno intention of going in.

Shocked, she asked instinctively, "President Pearson, aren't you coming?"

"Ladies first," he answered calmly.

Leanna thought for a bit, then took a step forward before turning around and retreating to him. Sheasked tentatively, "Are you scared to go in 'cause you make Ms. Fletcher mad?"

Aidan fell silent.

He lowered his eyes to look at her. "I'm not as cunning with words as you are."

"Then, what are you sulking about?" Leanna thought he was being weird.

"I have a call to make." He made an excuse.

After a pause, he suddenly lowered his head and asked in a deep suggestive voice, "Or are you tooshy to go in, so you need me to accompany you?"
