Leanna looked up at him, her eyes glistening, and tears hung from her eyelashes. She sniffled a littleand whispered, "What is it?"

Aidan's heart melted at the sight of her. After staring at her for a short while, he snapped out of hisreverie. He licked his lips and wiped her tears away. At first, he was going to tell her that the child wasalive, but then he said, "If you want a baby, we can always adopt one."

Not the right time to tell her. She just forgave me. And now, we're finally moving in. If I tell her that thechild is still alive and that I'd been lying to her, she'd probably leave with the kid and hide from meforever. Then, she'll never forgive me again.

Leanna stayed silent.

Aidan pinched her ear softly. "Don't cry. It's nothing. Besides, it's just a probability. I'll try even harder.What do you think?"

She muttered, "It's not something that can be resolved by one's effort alone."

"Well, why don't you work with me, then?"

She didn't know what kind of response she should give.

He chuckled and pulled her back into his embrace. "Don't think too much about it. Let's just go with theflow. If we can have a baby, we'll take it. It's fine if we can't."

She rested her head on his shoulder for a while before calling out to him, "Aidan."

"What?"

"Never mind. It's nothing."

Huh? Aidan was slightly confused at her response.

Leanna pushed him away. "It's getting late. We should go back now. We'll move our stuff here when wehave time." With that, she went downstairs.

He followed her and asked, "Were you going to ask me something?"

"It's nothing."

"You're not telling?"

"You wouldn't want to hear it."

"And how would you know that?"

She stopped in her tracks and looked at him calmly. "You've been acting weird lately."

Aidan cocked his eyebrow at that. "How?"

"You said something weird last night. You told me that I should forgive you no matter what you did. Andthe tone you used just now when you told me you had something to say was different than usual—itsounded serious. I didn't want to think that you were going to say the very thing I was thinking, or Imight go insane. I've made it clear, and I've given you a lot of chances to come clean. If everything wasmy paranoid acting up, then fine, I'm sorry. But if my suspicion had been right, I'd feel like a fool. A foolyou've been playing with."

Aidan knew what she was thinking, but he was unfazed. He gently held her hand and led herdownstairs. "If you want to know what real play looks like, I'll teach you. Once we get home, that is."

Speechless, Leanna gritted her teeth. "Not the time to joke around." He must be thinking aboutsomething pervy again. Before they left, she looked back at the house, seemingly reluctant to leave.

Aidan plopped into the driver's seat. "I'll get my men to move our stuff here tomorrow. You can comehere whenever you like."

She looked away for a moment. "Maybe sometime later. The condo's closer to Crossley Group and justabout everywhere else. It's easier to go around."

A moment of silence later, he said, "Sure." As long as she's willing to move back here.

Once they were home, Leanna entered the kitchen and made two bowls of ramen with whatever shehad in the fridge.

Aidan was leaning on the wall outside the kitchen, staring at her in silence. Now, I really can't tell her

that the child is alive.

When Leanna came out of the kitchen with the ramen, he was nowhere to be found. Where is he? Amoment later, she heard sounds coming from the bathroom. He could've taken the shower when wecame back. Why now?

She sat down and scrolled through the photos of designs on her phone. Some of them she had alreadysent to Lewis, and he said they were good to go for the fashion show. However, she needed moreitems to make the show presentable. I need more time. Fortunately, I have a few more months. I justwish nothing else happens during then, but it's impossible.

Crossley Group alone would be hard to handle. Aside from a few of the top management she rehired,Jimmy's men had been trying to trip her up as hard as they could. Fortunately, she had Richard and hismen on her side. She kept an eye on them, and they performed excellently, not to mention they weredecent men. I can delegate some of the more important work to them.

However, there was something else she had to worry about—Raymond.

When Maya first introduced Raymond to her, she didn't like how he was staring at her. However, asidefrom that, he didn't overstep his boundaries. Back when she ran into him at the mall, he was nice toher, too.

Though, she had no idea whose side he was on. At first, he and Jimmy met her at her workshop. Shethought he was working for Jimmy, but after she returned to Crossley Group, he had been helping herwith many problems. Some of the hurdles Jimmy had set for her were settled, thanks to Raymond. Heeven managed to stay away from the disaster that befell the top management back then. He's smartand related to Jimmy somehow. I can use him, but I can't trust him.

Just then, Aidan broke her train of thought. "What's on your mind?"

Leanna tucked her phone away. "Nothing. You should eat. It's getting soggy."

He took the seat beside her. "So, will you head to Crossley Group tomorrow?"

She nodded in affirmative. "Yeah."

"Tell me if Freddie's slacking off."

She smiled. "He's not. He's been helping out the company. All I have to do is sign the papers. A lot ofthe documents go over my head. If it weren't for him, I couldn't have gotten this far. I should thank him."

"No need. It's his job."

"I know you guys are friends, but—"

Aidan gently interrupted, "I paid for his services."

Freddie charged a high price even for ten minutes worth of consultation. And now, he's working atCrossley Group all day. He must be charging a crazy price. "Send the bill to me. I'll pay you. He isCrossley's legal consultant. The bill should be on me."

Aidan quoted the bill, and Leanna immediately changed her mind. Quickly, she said, "I think you mightneed a bit more food to go with the ramen. Care for an extra egg?"
