Chapter 507

Leanna placed the bottle of folic acid in front of Zoe. "Although I know you don't want to keep the child,just take this for now. It won't harm you, anyway. If you decide to go ahead with the operation, you canthrow it away."

With a depressed look, Zoe ran over and hugged her. "Sob. You're the best, Leanna."

She smiled and patted her back. "Alright, now. I know I'm in no position to persuade you, but there arestill two weeks left. Mull over intently whether you want to break the news to Daniel. In my eyes, he'snot an irresponsible person."

Nodding, Zoe replied, "I'll give it some thought."

After tidying up the contents of the fridge, Leanna thought about what Aidan had told her a few daysago. She licked her lips and asked, "Zoe, did Anthony meet up with you recently?"

"Nope. I think karma has finally got him."

Thinking about it, Leanna did not tell her that it was Daniel who took care of him. Zoe's already in amess right now. If I tell her this, it would only further trouble her and leave her in more of a distraughtstate.

Soon, her phone rang from Aidan's call. He stated upsettingly, "Even by foot, you would've arrivedthere by now."

This made Leanna speechless since she had forgotten to send him a message. So, she replied, "I didarrive a while ago. It's just that I have some business to take care of."

He snorted subtly. "When will you be done?"

"I think it'll drag on for a while. I'll send you a message when everything's finished."

She wanted to leave after preparing dinner for Zoe. Without waiting for Aidan to speak, she hung up onhim.

Zoe, who was sitting on the couch, suddenly had a burst of energy as her eyes glimmered upon thethought of gossip. "Is dear President Pearson inviting you on a date?"

Pursing her lips, Leanna explained, "N-No… He's always like this. When he's not busy, he'll start tomonitor me."

Zoe replied with a sigh, "The Gods sure know how to joke with us. To think that the b*stard would actlike this."

Leanna rose to her feet. "I'll cook. What do you want to eat?"

Zoe answered with a pitiful look, "I'll eat whatever you cook."

"Okay."

Since Zoe had not had a proper meal for the last two days, plus Leanna's cooking suited her appetitevery much—not oily or heavy—she finished two plates of food before she was satisfied.

When she finished, Leanna was about to clean up the table when Zoe commented, "Just leave the restto me. Go have your date with your man. Quick! Otherwise, he's going to have a temper tantrumagain."

Noticing that it was late, Leanna replied, "I'll leave, then. Rest up properly. You hear me?"

Noticing that it was late, Leanna replied, "I'll leave, then. Rest up properly. You hear me?"

"I know. Just go."

Upon Leanna's departure, Zoe washed the bowls before cleaning the kitchen and eventually slumpedonto the couch lifelessly.

After some time, she took her phone and found Daniel's number. Yet, she merely looked at it withoutcalling him.

This persisted until the view outside slowly darkened.

Tossing her phone aside, she planted her head face-first into the couch. God, tell me what I should do!

During the meal and movie, Leanna's thoughts were elsewhere throughout the whole process.

Noticing this, Aidan asked, "Are you feeling alright?"

It was only when she heard his voice did she snap back to reality. "Huh? I'm fine!"

This made him frown instead. "You must not want to go on this date, then."

Leanna did not know how to respond to this, so she retorted, "When did I ever say that?"

"Your expression says it all."

She tried to explain, "It's not like that. I was just thinking about something."

"Oh? Care to share? I might be able to help."

She did not want to tell him initially, but upon recalling his experience in this sort of situation, shefigured it would be nice to ask for his opinion.

After replaceing a remote spot, she asked him earnestly, "If, and this is hypothetical, let's say this concernsus. I like you, and you do feel something for me, but it's not love. Then, for some reason, we did thething…"

Her words made Aidan's eyebrow raise. "Did what thing?"

Leanna stared at him. "What else could it be? Monopoly?"

Snickering, he replied, "Continue."

"Then, after some time, I found out I was pregnant. Would you want me to abort the child straightaway,

or would you want me to tell you?"

This bewildered Aidan. "How is this still hypothetical?"

Leanna knew what he meant. "This is different from our situation."

"How?" He commented, "Didn't you like me, and I felt something for you too?" He chose to not continuehis sentence.

With a smirk, she retorted, "I didn't like you back then. It was—"

Yet, he interrupted her, obviously not wanting to hear the name that would slip out. "Alright. Is yourquestion finished?"

Noticing that it was lata, Laanna rapliad, "I'll laava, than. Rast up proparly. You haar ma?"

"I know. Just go."

Upon Laanna's dapartura, Zoa washad tha bowls bafora claaning tha kitchan and avantually slumpadonto tha couch lifalassly.

Noticing this, Aidan askad, "Ara you faaling alright?"

It was only whan sha haard his voica did sha snap back to raality. "Huh? I'm fina!"

Laanna did not know how to raspond to this, so sha ratortad, "Whan did I avar say that?"

"Your axprassion says it all."

Sha triad to axplain, "It's not lika that. I was just thinking about somathing."

"Oh? Cara to shara? I might ba abla to halp."

Sha did not want to tall him initially, but upon racalling his axparianca in this sort of situation, shafigurad it would ba nica to ask for his opinion.

Har words mada Aidan's ayabrow raisa. "Did what thing?"

Laanna starad at him. "What alsa could it ba? Monopoly?"

Snickaring, ha rapliad, "Continua."

"Than, aftar soma tima, I found out I was pragnant. Would you want ma to abort tha child straightaway,or would you want ma to tall you?"

This bawildarad Aidan. "How is this still hypothatical?"

Laanna knaw what ha maant. "This is diffarant from our situation."

"How?" Ha commantad, "Didn't you lika ma, and I falt somathing for you too?" Ha chosa to not continuahis santanca.

With a smirk, sha ratortad, "I didn't lika you back than. It was—"

Yat, ha intarruptad har, obviously not wanting to haar tha nama that would slip out. "Alright. Is yourquastion finishad?"

"It is. You can start voicing your opinion."

Aidan slowly formulated his answer. "Hmm. A reason? If it's you, I would never let you abort the child."His words stunned Leanna.

He looked at her and continued, "Babe, the process isn't important. What's important is the outcome."

Leanna merely nodded in response. She understood what Aidan was trying to say. Even though hekept opposing her to keep the child from her last pregnancy, he did not force her or resort to drasticmeasures. At times, she could feel that he was also genuinely looking forward to the child coming intothis world.

In the end, it never came to fruition.

Seeing that she was silent, Aidan knew that this could not mean anything good, so he clicked histongue and commented, "You also said that it's different from what we went through. I just want toprotect you."

Leanna replied, "I replace that you're capable of saying just about anything nowadays."

In the past, this b*stard would say whatever was on his mind. His mouth had no filter. I don't knowwhen it started, but he knows how to speak sweetly and can even entice me with just his words now.

He laughed and explained, "It's because I found this to be effective on you. Besides, everything I saidwas the truth."

She kicked him playfully. "Okay. Let's go back. I'm tired."

"Aren't you going to ask me more?"

"It's useless to do so."

"How about you ask Daniel instead? After all, my opinions are just for reference."

Confused, Leanna looked at him with a stunned gaze, prompting Aidan to add, "It wasn't that hard toguess."

"Still…" He hit it right on the mark.

He continued, "You only have a few friends. The person that could make you worry so much would onlybe Zoe since it can't be Daphne."

This made her ask, "What do you think his answer would be?"

"No matter what the outcome is, you've said that he has some feelings for Zoe, plus the fact that theyplayed 'Monopoly', means that the responsibility is for them to share. There's no reason that oneshould shoulder it all."

Leanna stayed silent. Monopoly. Really? Then, she whispered, "I think you're the biggest monopolizerof them all!"

Not only is he a heartless landlord, but he's also an evil capitalist! Stingy man!

"It is. You can start voicing your opinion."

Aidan slowly formulated his answer. "Hmm. A reason? If it's you, I would never let you abort the child."His words stunned Leanna.
