Chapter 748 He Won’t Agree to It

When Leanna woke up the following morning, the little guy had already woken up and was playing withhis toys.

With that, she sat up and gazed toward the couch. Sure enough, Aidan was sleeping there. One way orthe other, he had calmed down for the night.

Moving quietly, Leanna brought her little man downstairs without waking Aidan up.

Downstairs, Naomi was already making breakfast in the kitchen, and Waylen was dozing off at thedining table.

Before heading into the kitchen to help, Leanna placed the little one in his high chair and asked Waylento help look after him.

"You weren't too scared yesterday, were you?" Naomi asked, to which Leanna shook her head. "It wasa little dangerous, but fortunately, their injuries weren't severe."

At that, Naomi sighed silently. "Be it in Highside or Jamesdon, these incidents keep coming one afteranother. I'm sorry you have to go through all of this."

"I'm alright…" While speaking, Leanna grabbed the scrambled egg from Naomi and whispered, "Let mehandle it… Mom."

"Careful, it's a little hot," Naomi reminded casually, and Leanna nodded. "Okay."

With that, Naomi turned around to grab the cutlery, and it was only then she realized something wasoff. She gazed at Leanna, seemingly still wrapping her head around what had just happened. "What didyou just call me?"

"Mom," Leanna said with a smile, and Naomi, too, pulled a smile after processing for a few seconds."When did you two get registered?"

"Just two days before we came to Jamesdon."

"When do you guys plan on holding the wedding, then?"

"We're not sure yet," Leanna said. "It might be a while before we settle on a date; the end of the year ifsoonest."

"That's good." Naomi smiled. "That's one wish crossed. If Aidan ever bullies you, let me know."

"Thanks, Ms—Mom."

Naomi patted her shoulder. "No rush. You'll get used to it slowly."

Waylen was about to head upstairs after finishing breakfast when Leanna followed behind him. "What'sup?" he asked.

Leanna looked over her shoulder at once. Seeing Aidan playing with their little one a distance away,

she lowered her voice. "If Aidan asks you about my situation, don't tell him. Also, don't mentionanything about cord blood either."

"Why?" Waylen asked, baffled.

"He won't agree to it if he knows."

At that, Waylen leaned against the railing and mulled over it for a moment before agreeing. "Got it. I'llkeep it from him."

Though the general idea of increasing their chances of conceiving another child was to heal her body, itstill wasn't as simple as it sounded.

Leanna would have to endure many hardships during the process, and even if she was lucky enough toconceive a child in the end, because of the medication she had to take during pre-pregnancy, shemight experience some adverse reactions during the pregnancy. It would undoubtedly be morechallenging than her previous childbirth.

"Well, let me know after you've prepared the medicine," Leanna said.

"Will do."

With that, Leanna turned around to leave, only for Waylen to stop her. "Yes?" she asked, turning backaround.

"Though I didn't specifically explain how difficult the process would be, I'm sure you already have agood idea of it by now," Waylen said. "So, I hope you'll mull over it again…"

"There's nothing to mull over." Leanna smiled. "I've already made up my mind."

Yes, it would be difficult, but she was certain it wouldn't be harder than when she thought her boy wasgone for good.

"Understood. Wait for my call."

Thank you."

A week later, Daphne's show officially aired.

Despite many people doubting its success, the show quickly climbed up the hot search rankings withseveral trending topics.

One of the topics had been anticipated even before the show aired—'Tina Anderson and DaphneShirley finally appear together.'

To escalate the buzz around the trending topic, Tina and her team launched an extensive marketingcampaign, claiming Tina outshone Daphne and appeared much better overall, as well as comparingthe two in various other aspects.

On the other hand, Daphne might no longer have a team, but her popularity and fanbase remainedstrong. Hence, Tina's popularity didn't increase much, even with the extensive marketing campaign. Ifanything, most people thought Daphne obviously surpassed her in many aspects when the two stoodtogether.

Apart from this particular trending topic, the topics of other celebrities also fluctuated on the hot searchrankings. However, just then, a new trending topic instantly shot up to the number one spot—'DaphneShirley and Louis McKinney, highly attractive partners.'

The video clip that appeared after clicking on this topic was of Daphne and Louis in the first room,working together to replace clues.

The lighting and setting were just right, and the clip alone looked more like a scene from a teenagerom-com than from a reality TV show.

Many fans and casual viewers clicked on the trending topic because of Daphne, but the commentswere mainly about Louis.

'Good Lord! Who is this?! Did he debut recently? Gosh, he's cute!'

'Is it me, or does he look familiar to you guys? Has he joined some other show previously?'

'I think he looks very familiar as well. But he's probably not from another show. If he had appeared inother shows, he'd have definitely trended at the time.'

'Stop guessing, people. I'll solve the mystery. He's my husband. Now, everyone can put it to rest.'

'Hahaha! Hold up… I remember now. He's McK's younger brother, isn't he? I followed the gossip aboutGeorgina falsely accusing him, but there were very few pictures of him back then, so I couldn't be sure.'

'Ladies, it is him! It's Louis! There were rumors of Jellyfish Entertainment signing him as their talent. Tothink he actually debuted!'

'If I remember correctly, he was a state valedictorian, right? Now, this is a genuine genius in theentertainment industry. Everyone else can drop the genius act and stop embarrassing themselves.'

'I'll say something—don't come at me, fans—I think he and Daphne are a great match. A glamorouscelebrity and an intelligent young man… I ship them!'

'You and I both, girl! Not only is Louis cute and gentlemanly, but he's also a genius. Now tell me a manlike him isn't far better than Theodore Frost. I'll be smiling even in my dreams if Daphne is really seeinghim.'

After the trending topic of Daphne and Louis surged to the top, it remained firmly in the number onespot and showed no signs of declining. With that, discussions about Tina and Daphne were graduallyovershadowed.

That said, the viewership ratings of the show skyrocketed, and the reviews became increasinglyoptimistic, while those who had previously criticized the show seemed to have vanished as if theynever appeared.

Meanwhile, Louis' social media account, which Jellyfish Entertainment had registered for him, gainedan explosion of followers, skyrocketing from a few thousand to over a million before the day's evening.

Louis' manager even called him, asking him to post something on Twitter and interact with the fans. It'dbe fine even if he just posted a selfie.

At that, Louis flipped through his phone album but couldn't replace anything suitable.

That said, a picture in the corner caught his attention when he was about to exit the application.

It was a candid picture Zoe took and sent to him when she and Leanna visited him during the first dayof shooting.

In the photo, amidst the bustling and chaotic filming studio, two blurry figures stood with their backs tothe camera.

Louis even forgot what he and Daphne were talking about at that time.
