Chapter 67 We Won’t Be in Touch Anymore Georgina asked thoughtfully, “Doesn’t Aidan hate her?”“Yes, but I don’t know what’s happened recently. Aidan warned me not to provoke her again.” Afterpicking up the wine glass, Georgina said casually, “Perhaps it’s because she’s pregnant.” When sheheard that, Anna suddenly widened her eyes in shock. “What?! She—” Georgina added softly, “I sawher going for a maternity check in the hospital before. My instincts say that she’s pregnant, but I can’tprove it.
I’ve tested my theory several times, and I can conclude that there’s at least an eighty percent chancethat she’s pregnant. However, don’t announce anything yet, Anna. I know she and Aidan havedivorced, so it’s still unclear as to who the child might belong to.” Although Georgina euphemisticallysaid those words, she had successfully conveyed a hidden meaning. In an instant, hatred rose onAnna’s face. That shameless woman has been pestering Zayn recently, and she suddenly showed upagain today! She must be planning to threaten us using the child in her stomach! I bet she’ll force Zaynto marry her in front of everyone! No! I shall never let this happen!” Enraged with her thoughts, Annaturned around and went to replace Leanna. Meanwhile, Georgina stared at her silhouette and slowly drankthe wine from the glass. Meanwhile, Leanna was still waiting to receive news from Zoe. As timepassed, her panic and unease gradually grew stronger. At this moment, someone shouted to her, “Hey,you there!
Come over and clean up this place.” At that, Leanna looked over. When she saw the wine stains on thefloor, she thought, Someone’s child must’ve accidentally knocked over the wine glass while playing,and the red wine stains are all over the floor now. The person noticed that she hadn’t moved, so theysaid again, “What are you doing? Don’t you know how important all the guests are today? Are yougoing to take responsibility if anyone slips?” “Leanna.” Suddenly, Zayn’s voice came from the side.
When the person who was behaving arrogant earlier saw Zayn, their attitude changed drastically. Then,the person stepped forward to greet him, saying, “Mr. Barnett, I have long heard about you. I’m—” Zaynside-eyed him, and the gentleness between his eyebrows had long since disappeared. After walking upto Leanna, he then dragged her out of the front hall. When they got to the pool, Zayn said, “Why areyou here, Leanna?”
Leanna replied, “I have some matters to attend to.” She contemplated if she should ask him the nextquestion, and she paused for a while. Eventually, she asked, “Are you preparing to get engaged toAnna?” Zayn laughed upon hearing that. “Was Aidan the one who told you?” As he spoke, he looked athis surroundings. He stayed silent for a long time before saying, “For me, it doesn’t matter who I end upwith if I don’t marry the person I like.” At that moment, Leanna didn’t know what to say to comfort him.“Zayn—” If Zayn gets engaged to someone else, I will sincerely congratulate him as a friend. However,I know Anna’s character all too well. No matter what, I still hope Zayn considers his decision. SensingLeanna’s silence, Zayn quickly said, “Leanna, you don’t have to blame yourself. Last night, I learnedthat Anna isn’t actually the one who wants to get engaged to me. Instead, the Barnett Family is in direneed of this alliance marriage.” All of a sudden, Leanna became speechless as the realization hit her.
That’s right, how can feelings come first in business cooperations that easily cost hundreds of millions?The rich and powerful just look bright and beautiful on the surface, but they’re actually vicious andgreedy on the inside. “Leanna, I hope you’ll replace someone you like who’s equally devoted to you in thefuture.” Weren’t we like this before? We keep missing the chance to be together repeatedly. Lately,Zayn had been thinking about him and Leanna. If there was no such thing as breaking the Aerasagreement; if I had been less calm and rational; and if I confessed what was in my heart earlier, wemight not have ended up like this. After a long time, Leanna smiled faintly. “There should never be such
a person anymore.” Zayn was silent for a while before he said, “You and Aidan—” “There‘s nopossibility between me and him.
There are just some debts that have not been settled yet. After the settlement is clear, we will becompletely indebted to each other, and we won’t be in touch anymore.” “That’s good. The PearsonFamily is far more complicated than I imagine. Plus, he’s not a good person either.” Since Zayn still hada lot of things to deal with tonight, he didn’t stay around for too long. Leanna didn’t want to go back tothe place that was suffocating her, so she stood by the pool and enjoyed the breeze. As she stared atthe sparkling swimming pool in a trance, she was completely unaware that the person she had justmentioned was standing not far away, looking at her with a cool and quiet look. His stern facial featureswere shrouded in the night, showing the slightest emotion.
As he looked at Leanna while she stood by the pool, Aidan fell into deep thought as he had overheardher conversation with Zayn. She sure has some daring thoughts. Does she think that she’ll be debt-freeonce she pays everything off? After staring at Leanna for a really long time, Aidan retracted his gazecoldly. Then, he turned around and strode away with his pair of long legs. At the same time, Leannareceived a call from Zoe. Zoe had gone to Louis’ college, but the administration department told herthat no one by the name Louis McKinney had reported to school today. Since Zoe knew the truth, shedidn’t believe the administration department and went around asking other people. Louis was theprovincial champion and had the highest score among the college freshmen, so it was not difficult toask around. Things unexpectedly became suspicious when Zoe found the college’s high score list. Shediscovered that the first-place candidate scored the same marks as Louis, but it wasn’t his name.
The person in charge of the college rushed over after getting wind of this. When he heard that Zoe waslooking for Louis, he kept his mouth shut. The only thing he told her was that there was no such personin the college. After that, he asked the security guard to escort her out. Leanna closed her eyes whileholding her phone. At this juncture, she already had a rough idea of what was going on. Meanwhile,Zoe still hadn’t figured out the situation on the other end of the phone. “Nana, what’s going on? I can’treach Louis, and it seems like the people I’ve talked to at the college aren’t that credible. In fact, I’mthinking if I’ve really made a mistake.” “I’ll explain it to you when I come back.” Leanna pursed her lipsand continued, “Head over to the convenience store where Louis previously worked and see if he’s stillthere.”
“Sure, I’ll head over right now.” After hanging up the phone, Leanna suddenly felt a little powerless.Never once did she think that Louis would actually sell his college admission letter. Does he truly knowwhat that admission letter means to him?! At this moment, Leanna suddenly heard footsteps comingfrom behind her. For some reason, the wind around her was inexplicably chilling for a few minutes. Inan instant, her heart tightened, and her blood ran cold. Just as she was about to turn back, she feltsomeone hit her hard. Due to the movement of the wind, waves were formed in the swimming pool.With a thud, Leanna fell into the pool. At once, she felt water gushing into her ears and nose from alldirections, making her hard to breathe and see. Out of reflex, she wanted to struggle. However, shecouldn’t grab hold of anything except water. As her body gradually sank, Leanna slowly lost all herstrength. For some unknown reason, she suddenly wanted to give up when she looked at the endlessdarkness in front of her. At times, I feel that it’s quite tiring to be alive. … As soon as Aidan arrivedoutside the front hall, he heard a servant behind him shout, “Someone is drowning!”
After hearing that, he paused slightly and stopped in his tracks. When he turned around, he realizedthat the person standing by the pool had disappeared. At that very moment, the feeling of fearshrouded him, and Aidan’s pupils shrank abruptly. Very quickly, he turned back and walked toward theswimming pool. By the time he came to the pool, the water had begun to calm down. He jumped
directly into the water with zero hesitation. Amid the chaos, Leanna felt that someone was hugging herand keeping her alive by giving her air to breathe.
