Chapter 771 Call Me Brother-in-Law

After the advertisement shooting was done, they still had to take a few more promotional photos.

There was so much to do that it was already 10.30PM and they were still not done.

Looking at the time, Leanna asked Zoe, "Is Louis still needed here?"

Zoe flipped through her schedule. "No, not really. We're basically done with his scenes."

"I'll tell him to head back first. He has classes tomorrow morning," Leanna said.

"Okay. He can go." Zoe then waved Louis over and said to him, "Farewell, handsome boy."

Back in the changing room, Louis took off his suit and hung it on a nearby rack.

When he walked out of the dressing room, he found Leanna waiting for him by the door.

"What is going on between you and Daphne?" she asked.

"What?"

"You two have been acting strange the whole time. There's something off in the air," she elaborated.

He shifted to look away from her. "Nothing much."

"Did you get rejected after confessing your love to her?"

Her words rendered him speechless.

His silence confirmed her suspicions.

"I didn't confess anything," he replied.

"What is going on then?"

He started walking as she answered, "She knows."

As she walked beside him, she silently thought about his answer before commenting, "You didn't actlike you don't want her to know."

Once more, his silence confirmed her guess.

She sighed. True, it was impossible to hide one's love as they would constantly want to get close totheir crush.

With Theodore involved, Louis could not avoid sitting still just because he was afraid Daphne mightknow about his love for her.

It was only a matter of time.

When they reached the entrance, Leanna asked, "What is the conclusion of your discussion?"

It was still drizzling outside. However, the air felt much colder now.

It seemed like autumn was coming.

"Nothing much. We'll improvise as we go," he replied.

Not even he knew what the future held.

After a few seconds, she suggested, "Call a cab."

Perhaps it was because of the rain; perhaps it was due to how remote their place was. Minutes tickedby and not a single driver accepted their request.

Louis put his phone away. "There's a subway station nearby. I can walk over."

She stopped him. "That station is over a mile away and it's raining hard. If you walk, you'll catch a cold.Wait for a while. If no one takes your request, I can drop you off."

He glanced at the rain in thought.

He glanced at the rain in thought.

Just then, they heard a man languidly ask, "Can't get a ride?"

She turned around to replace Aidan standing nearby. Parked next to him was his Rolls-Royce.

For some reason, the way he spoke just now made him sound like he deserved a punch.

Aidan walked over to stand beside her and calmly said to Louis, "If you call me your brother-in-law, I'llhave my driver drop you off."

Louis was at a loss for words when he heard that.

Leanna was similarly rendered speechless.

Louis turned to look at Leanna. "I'm off."

He then moved to rush into the rain.

"Stop right there," Aidan barked out.

Subsequently, Louis turned to look at him.

"If you don't call me that, you will not be hearing my son call you uncle," Aidan continued.

"You'll have to wait until he can speak first," Louis shot back.

Louis then marched away.

Aidan stared silently in shock.

Leanna was having a hard time resisting the urge to laugh as she clenched a fist around Aidan's shirt.

"Are you not going to lecture him for that?" he asked her, dissatisfied with her response.

She did her best to maintain a calm voice as she replied, "Why would I do that? I think… he's quiteright. He can't lose and let himself be tormented…"

He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close. His dark eyes were dangerously narrowedas he said in a dark and suggestive voice, "You must have suffered quite a lot then."

She was suddenly reminded of how he would constantly force her to call him "honey". Her cheeksimmediately burned bright red.

She gently shoved him and whispered, "Behave yourself. We're in public."

He looked around. When he saw that there was no one else around, he dipped his head down to kissher on the lips. "You'll be compensating me later back home."

She stared back at him, confused.

What did she owe him? Why did she have to compensate him?

He strode over to the filming location. "Let's go."

At that, she followed behind him.

Inside, everyone was taking a break, enjoying their supper and smoothies.

When Aidan and Leanna walked in, an invisible tension could be felt in the air, making everyoneinstantly go from cheerfully chatting away to silence.

Zoe and Daphne were people who enjoyed chaos, so they immediately spoke up.

"Thanks for the smoothies, Mr. Pearson," Zoe called out.

"Thanks for the food, Mr. Pearson," Daphne said.

He merely stared at them in silence.

The rest of the crew followed their lead to voice their thanks.

Aidan's brows twitched. He was not used to situations like this. He immediately glared at the twowomen who had spoken up first.

The two instigators swiftly ran away.

With that, the tension in the room dispersed.

The crew turned their attention to their food and their work.

Leanna walked over to Zoe. "Can you send the very first picture of Louis to me, Zoe?"

"Sure," Zoe replied.

"I'll be printing the photos tomorrow. I can give you a copy as well," she added.

Leanna nodded. "Sure."

Zoe then turned to Daphne. "Louis is so handsome, right? He will be a worthy co-star."

Daphne did not respond.

After a few moments, she let out an awkward chuckle.

Leanna cleared her throat and changed the topic. "How long until we're finished here?"

"We'll resume the shoot in 10 minutes. We should be done before 1.00AM," Zoe replied.

"Okay," Leanna said with a nod.

As though a thought just struck her, Zoe continued, "Why don't you head back with Mr. Pearson first,Nana? We're almost done here. Once we finish filming, we'll be heading back."

"I'll wait for you to finish."

Zoe stuck out her tongue and muttered, "I actually want you to take him away. He makes everyonenervous."

Leanna turned to glance at Aidan, and she instantly understood what Zoe meant by that. He wasstanding around like a boss who was checking in on his employees. He stood out with his cold andemotionless face.

Leanna gave a helpless smile. "Fine. I'll be going then."

After bidding Daphne and Zoe goodbye, Leanna dragged Aidan away.

"Didn't you say you'll be here for a while more?" he asked.

"It's all thanks to you," she lazily responded.

He stared at her. "I see. Shouldn't you give me a proper thanks, then?

Once more, she was rendered speechless.

He was certainly a man who would take a mile if given an inch.

Not long after getting into the car, Leanna's phone buzzed, notifying her of the photos Zoe had just sentto her.
