Chapter 588 I Thought You Invited Me

Leanna mercilessly locked Aidan out after the kiss was over.

He curled his fingers as he knocked on the door with his knuckles. "Be reasonable. Can't you let mein?"

Leanna's muffled yell rang out, "Is this the first time you've seen me acting so unreasonably?"

Aidan gently touched his lips that were bitten by Leanna; the smile on the corner of his mouthdeepened. Then, he didn't persist as he returned to the couch and lay down while pillowing his head onhis arm.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Leanna was in no mood to take a shower after that altercation. Thus, shethrew herself into the bed.

At this moment, perhaps due to the effect of the medicine gradually kicking in, she started to feel hereyelids drooping down. She even started yawning after a while.

So, she rolled herself into the covers, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

The sound of thunder outside the window caused her to jerk awake in the middle of the night.

Still, she was somewhat groggy as she slowly sat up. As she listened to the sound of rumbling thunderand pattering rain outside, as well as the cold gust flapping through the curtains and into the room fromtime to time, she remembered the blanket she gave Aidan. That blanket was pretty thin. What if his

cold gets worse… In the end, it will still be me who suffers.

When Leanna thought of the possibility of him getting yet another fever, she looked for another blanketfrom the closet and yanked it out.

Then, she gently opened the door and was surprised to see that Aidan was still working when shestumbled out.

She placed the thicker blanket by his side and teased, "Did you finally discover your conscience afterjust resting at home for two days?"

Aidan closed the laptop with a quiet snap. "I'm just wisely utilizing my time. After all, I will be wastingmy time if I keep tossing around, forcing myself to shut my eyes when I clearly have trouble sleeping."

Leanna turned around, took a thermometer, and checked his body temperature. His body temperatureis normal, so that means his fever has subsided.

"Okay. You should get some rest. Your condition should be fine tomorrow," she urged.

Alas, Aidan begged to differ, "I don't think so."

Leanna kept the thermometer aside and questioned, "What's the matter? Are you planning to sleepbefore your hair dries again?"

"That's because you refused to lend me a hair dryer when I wanted to borrow one from you."

"Are you implying that it was me who caused you to be sick?"

"I never said that." Aidan looked out the window and changed the topic. "It's pretty cold."

"I brought you a blanket."

"But I want to lay down on my bed and sleep in my bedroom," he whined.

She merely gave him a smile in response. "Sweet dreams." In the end, she still decided to make himsleep on the couch.

After she returned to the bedroom, she lay down on the bed again. This time, she slept soundly untilmorning came.

The moment she was awake, she was delighted to replace that any residue of her sickness was long gone.So, she stretched out her limbs happily. Yet, just when she was about to turn over, she discovered ahand was on her waist.

Leanna neither spoke nor moved.

Aidan, who was behind her, probably had woken up due to her actions. For at this moment, he greetedhuskily, "Morning."

Yet, she didn't greet him as she instead began her interrogation. "As far as I remember, I locked thedoor last night."

"You probably mixed things up, then."

"How did you get in here?"

"Well, didn't you wish me sweet dreams last night? So, I thought you invited me to join you in bed."

Right… What's the point of interrogating him anyway? This b*stard is just going to keep giving meirrelevant answers. When she arrived at that train of thought, she felt a pulsating sensation betweenher brows. She wanted to get up, but Aidan pressed her back onto the bed.

His eyes were closed, but his voice had become hoarse as he murmured, "Stop moving."

Leanna took a deep breath after vividly feeling the noticeable change pressing against her. Still, shestopped moving.

After a while, she quickly got out of Aidan's arms while he wasn't paying attention.

She went next door to check on the little guy. Once she was certain that he was doing fine, shereturned to Aidan's place and spent the whole day in the bedroom working on the design draft.

Meanwhile, outside the bedroom, Jonathan had made several trips over. However, as he feared thatLeanna would replace out, he acted like a thief each time he delivered a document to Aidan. He came andleft like the wind.

Aidan came to knock on the door later that evening. "Hey, do you want to go for a walk?"

"No, you go ahead. I'm just going to stay at home."

"But you haven't gone out for days. Do you not feel cooped up after loafing around at home like this?"

"It's you who haven't gone out for a few days. On the other hand, I haven't gone out in one day, whichis today."

"Exercise is good for our health, so we should go out for a walk every day."

When Leanna heard his cheeky answer, she put down her pen, turned her head, and looked at himexpressionlessly.

Aidan went on to say, "Now that the rain has stopped, we should go out and get some fresh air."

Perhaps it was better if he didn't make that statement, for Leanna indeed felt a little lightheaded rightafter he said that. Maybe he's right. I have been working on my design drawings the whole day, so Ithink it's time for me to go out, take a break, and relax my eyes.

As the rain had just stopped not long ago, there were several puddles everywhere.

The air was indeed fresh and cool, though.

Leanna slowly stretched her limbs as she massaged her neck.

She had just taken a few steps when Aidan suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side of theroad.

It was also at this moment that a sedan drove by the side of the road, splashing a few drops of muddywater on Aidan's pants.

Leanna couldn't help but frown when she saw this. Yet, Aidan showed no sign of annoyance at all.

"You—"

Before she could say anything, he immediately interjected, "There's a park in front."

She couldn't react to the sudden change of topic as she blurted, "What?"

Nonetheless, he didn't answer as he simply held her hand and pulled her along.

Leanna tried to yank her hand away. Alas, her effort was in vain.

There were a lot of people strolling in the park at this moment. Among these folks, only some wereelderly, while the rest were mainly lovey-dovey young couples.

Someone was also busking with a guitar not far away.

Leanna figured that since she was already here in the park, she might as well join in the fun.

With that, she took Aidan's hand that was holding her, shifted their direction, and walked toward theplace where the sound of the guitar came from.

Aidan simply let her be.

A young man in his early 20s wearing a rather trendy outfit was playing the guitar not far away.

He had just finished playing a song when Leanna dragged Aidan into the crowd. Everyone in the crowdkept requesting songs.

After he swept his gaze across the crowd, the young man fixed his gaze on Leanna. Then, he askedwith a smile, "Hello there, beautiful. What song would you like to hear me play?"

Leanna was stunned for a moment. She looked around before she pointed at herself. "Me?"

"Yes, it's you. Beautiful, you instantly caught my eye among the crowd. Perhaps this is dest—"

Before the young man finished his sentence, he saw that Leanna's hand was being held by a manstaring at him with a glacial demeanor. Hence, he instantly stabbed his desire to strike up aconversation to death.

"I am fine with any song. Just play whatever you want," Leanna replied.

The young man ruffled his hair and remarked, "Well, then. I shall play you a song called 'Forget You'.Enjoy."

Aidan remained silent throughout the interaction.

On the other hand, Leanna couldn't hold herself and burst into laughter.

As the music sounded, the initially cheerful atmosphere was instantly immersed in melancholy.

The entire sky seemed to be stained with a faint touch of sorrow.

After the song ended, the young man voiced again, "What do you think, beautiful? Do you have theurge to break up after listening to this song?"

Before Leanna could answer him, Aidan responded indifferently, "Do you not feel ashamed for ruiningthe vibe of the song with your beginner-level guitar-playing skill?"

Just as expected, the young man felt annoyed by that comment. So, he immediately challenged Aidan,"How about you play a song then?"

Aidan snorted. Just when he was about to step forward, someone grabbed his hand, stopping him inhis tracks.

"What are you trying to do?" whispered Leanna.

"Teach him a lesson."

"Did you even take note of the age gap between the two of you? So, why do you want to compete withhim?"

Aidan curled the corner of his lips into a smirk as he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I don'tintend to compete with him. Just watch."

As soon as he stopped, he released Leanna's hand, walked to the young man's side, and took theguitar from him. He casually plucked the strings and tuned the guitar.

Just this action was enough to cause a group of female onlookers to squeal repeatedly.

"So charming!"

Leanna couldn't help but facepalm at those words. What is he going to show me? Is he asking me towatch him trying to look cool?

The young man snorted derisively as he looked at the scene. He even folded his arms across his chestas he waited for Aidan to make a fool out of himself.
